单选题 What is the current time in the conversation?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文]14-16 W: Hey taxi! Ah great. Thanks for pulling over. M: Where to? W: Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art, and ... M: Sure. Hop in. No problem. Hang on! W: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there? M: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average driver. And I'm not average. I have driving down to an art, so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than twelve minutes. W: Okay. Uh, sorry for asking, but do you have any idea how much the fare will be? M: Oh, it shouldn't be more than 18 dollars ... not including a ... haha ... a tip of course. W: Oh, and by the way, do yo know what time the museum closes? M: Well, I would guess around 6:00 o'clock. W: Uh, do you have the time? M: Yeah. It's half past four. Uh, this is your first time to the city, right? W: Yeah. How did you know? M: Well, you can tell tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straight up at the skyscrapers. W: Was it that obvious? M: Well... W: Oh, before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price? M: Umm... Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic, It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the decor is very authentic, and the portions are larger than most other places I've been to. W: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum? M: Well, you can catch the subway right outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis, too, but they don't run by the museum that often. W: Okay. Thanks. 答案信息对应于对话中第六个话轮男士的回答:It's half past four。这是对这一话轮中女士询问(do you have the time)的回答,因此就是对话发生时的时间。注意前面一个话轮中提到了6:00,但那是博物馆的关门时间,不要混淆。
单选题 How does the driver figure out that the passenger is a first-time visitor to the city?
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】在第六个话轮中男士第二句询问女士是不是第一次来该市,而在下一个话轮中针对女士“你怎么知道”他又解释说:...because they walk down the street looking straight up at the skyscrapers(他们在街上走时会抬头看那些摩天大楼),这与[D]的意思一致。
单选题 What is one item the driver did NOT mention about the restaurant?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】在第九个话轮中男士为女士介绍了一家饭店。其中第三句提到了价格(not as inexpensive as other places)、装修(decor)和饭菜的分量(portions),对照选项可知只有[B]“服务”没有提及。
