【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Are you going to the fair next Saturday?
M: What fair?
W: The annual fair that Riverdale puts on the first Saturday in June to raise money for the Riverdale hospital. The fair is going to be held on the university athletic field just like in previous years. Haven't you noticed the tents that had already been set up?
M: Yes, I have. What are they for?
W: They are for the many special events and displays. And this year there'll be quite a few new events. I'm going to help serve food at the refreshment tent for a few hours Saturday afternoon.
M: Do many people volunteer to help out?
W: Oh, yes. I like helping, because I really enjoy seeing a lot of my friends at the food tent. Everybody loves to eat.
M: So that's it. I heard some other people talking about going to hear local bands. Everyone says that this year's show is supposed to be more exciting than all the others put together. That's the entertainment tent, right?
W: Right, but that event will be the evening before the fair on Friday. An auction will take place on Saturday afternoon, and there will be some real treasures for sale then. People donate all kinds of things. There will also be an art show on Saturday and a special games tent just for children.
M: And all the profits from the fair always go to support the hospital. What a good idea! Well, I need a couple of bookcases. Maybe I can find some at the auction. I'm glad you mentioned it.
Q: What is the main reason for having the fair?
女:你要参加下周六的展销会吗?男:什么展销会?
女:里弗代尔小镇举办的一年一度的展销会,每年六月的第一个周六开始,为里弗代尔医院募集资金。这次展销会同往年一样,仍将在大学的运动场上举行。难道你没有注意到运动场上那些已经搭好的帐篷吗?
男:是的,我注意到了。这些帐篷是用来做什么的?
女:是为了许多特别的活动和展出而搭建的。今年还会增添不少新的活动。周六下午,我打算花几个小时的时间在茶点帐篷里为大家提供小零食。
男:有很多人自愿来帮忙吗?
女:哦,没错。我喜欢去帮忙,因为我真的很喜欢在食物帐篷里看到我的众多朋友。大家都对美食情有独钟嘛。
男:原来如此。我听到另外一些人在讨论去听咱们本地乐队演唱的事,大家都说今年的表演会比往年的所有表演加起来还要精彩。这场表演会在娱乐帐篷里举办,对吧?
女:没错,但这场表演将会在展销会开始的前一晚,也就是周五开始。周六下午还会举办一场拍卖会,到时候会有不少好东西出售呢。大家捐赠了各种各样的物品。周六这天还会有一场艺术表演,展销会还特地为孩子们搭建了一顶游戏帐篷。
男:展销会所得的全部利润都会被用来资助医院,这真是个好主意!正好我想要买些书柜,说不定能在拍卖会上淘到,多谢你的提醒。
四项均为不定式短语,可做目的状语,应留意做某事的目的。
题干问里弗代尔展销会召开的主要目的是什么。在对话开头处女士介绍道:这次展销会是为了给里弗代尔医院募集资金。故选D。选项中的funds是原文中money的同义替换。
