Passage One
Hershey Corporation has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against TinctureBelle Marijuanka Corporation. Hershey says TinctureBelle's pot-infused candies are packaged in a way very similar to Hershey's. TinctureBelle may confuse consumers who may inadvertently eat them, thinking they are ordinary chocolate candy. The famous chocolate maker wants a judge to order TinctureBelle to stop selling the items. It is also seeking damages.
TinctureBelle did not immediately return messages seeking comment. The company's website says its products, which include cookies, candy, body lotions and balms, are “diabetic-safe and delicious” and helpful for a variety of health issues. The edibles are sold in Colorado's legal pot shops and medical marijuana dispensaries.
The lawsuit was filed as Colorado lawmakers look to tighten safety regulations for largely unmonitored marijuana snacks that can be indistinguishable from regular candies and baked goods. On Thursday, the legislature advanced a package of bills that would lower the amount of THC that could be permitted in a serving of food, and require more extensive warning labels. THC is the primary intoxicant and mind-altering ingredient found in marijuana.
In March, a college student ate more than the recommended dose of a marijuana-laced cookie and jumped to his death from a hotel balcony. In April, a woman told a 911 dispatcher that her husband was hallucinating and talking about the end of the world after he had taken marijuana-infused pain pills. Six children who swallowed innocent-looking candy bars were sent to hospital. Doctors worried about their respiratory systems shutting down.
These cases have stoked concerns about Colorado's recreational marijuana industry and the effects of marijuana in creating dizziness, nausea and hallucinations. The industry is trying to educate consumers about the strength of pot-infused foods and warning them to wait up to an hour to feel any effects before eating more.

Which of the following products DOESN'T belong to TinctureBelle?

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】

该题为排除题,即答题需要排除选项中与录音内容符合的各项,而选择录音内容不包括的选项作为正确答案。答案为D,因为其他三项在录音中its products, which include之后均有对应项,而选项D 所说的糖尿病药品却没有提及,录音提及 的是TinctureBelle的产品没有导致糖尿病的风险,即 diabetic-safe。

抓住细节信息,区分diabetic medicine与 diabetic-safe的不同意义。

单选题

What did the Colorado lawmakers require to stop using unmonitored marijuana?

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】

该题所问是科罗拉多立法者们要求如何制止未经监控检查的大麻使用,正确答案为选项B。答题需要理解录音中有关这一目的及其手段的内容。录音首先说出 科罗拉多立法者们想要对大体上没有经过监控的大麻类产品加强安全管理,然后说出周四他们发出了一套法令要求降低THC在食品中的含量并解释了这一成分的作用。这就说明降低THC含量是具体要求,即问题的答案。
