单选题
What exactly does the man want to find out? A. What people think of the bus service. B. How many people are using the bus service. C. Which group of people uses the bus service most often.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] M: Hello, Mrs Smith. I'm from the Daily Mirror. And I'm doing a report on public opinion about the city bus service. So, what do you think of the bus service? W: The bus service? Actually I don't use it that often unless I have to go shopping. M: What's ... how could the bus service be improved? W: Well, they could turn up on time. I mean you look at the timetable and you think, oh, well, five minutes to wait, and it turns out to be an hour. M: Do any other people in your family use the bus service? W: My husband. He uses it more often. But fortunately a girl who works in his office often gives him a lift to work. But when he does need to use it, he's often angry at it. Once, he waited up to fifteen minutes at the station for a bus. So I think there should be some way of warning people when a bus is not going to arrive and certainly much more frequent bus services. 细节题。在第一个话轮中，男士表明自己的身份后紧跟着指出，他在做公众对于市政公交服务的意见的报道(I'm doing a report on public opinion about the city bus service)，然后直接询问女士认为公交服务怎么样，因此本题答案当然就是[A]。

C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题属于带有推断性质的细节题。在第二个话轮中，女士指出：...they could turn up on time(他们可以准时一点)，然后说明了理由。反过来理解，就是女士认为现在的公交车不准时，故答案是[C]。
