【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: And now here is our guest Jane Thomas to tell us about Montreal's famous yearly island bicycle tour which is coming up in June. Good morning, Jane. What is the bike tour all about? W: Well, Peter, it's an event that's open to anybody who'd like to ride a bicycle through the streets of Montreal. The tour covers a standard distance of 65 kilometres. But the route's quite different every year. So people who've already done it might enjoy doing it again. M: How long does it take to go the whole distance? W: It varies. Cyclists are free to go as fast or as slow and do as much or as little of the course as they like. M: Well, what's the typical pace for a participant? W: Between 12 and 30 km per hour. Some cyclists stop along the way and don't cross the finish line until early evening. But the whole point is that there is no rush. It's not a race. M: I understand last year's tour had 45,000 cyclists and it was the largest mass event in the world. How many do you expect this year? W: The same as last year. And since we regularly have so many participants, can I take up this opportunity to remind our listeners to sign up early? We filled up quickly last year and we had to refuse lots of applicants. M: Before we close, any other tips for all prospective cyclists? W: Yes. Take water with you. It is available at the relay stations but it helps to have an additional supply. And pack a good lunch with plenty of fruit for energy. Candy and chocolate don't do the trick. What is the main subject of the conversation? 主旨题。题目问的是这段对话的主题。对话开始男士就提到了“Montreal's famous yearly island bicycle tour”的事情,之后的对话也是围绕这个展开的,可见整段对话的主题是这个自行车赛事,即答案为D项。
