A、
The relationship between farmers, Ward and Sears.
B、
The development of the catalog sales business.
C、
The relationship between the catalog and textbooks.
D、
The story of a Chicago retailer.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】
解析:尽管四个选项在对话中都有提及,但A、C、D只是对话的一部分,只有B可以涵盖对话中的所有内容。长对话的主旨大意题,关键是听对话的第一个话轮(对话双方各发言一次叫一个话轮)。由order,catalog两个关键词即可推出答案是B。尽管C中也有catalog,但它提到textbook,没有涵盖原文主要内容,而只是其中一个细节。
A、
Because he wanted to beat Ward.
B、
Because he wanted to help his brother Ward.
C、
Because he thought this business was profitable.
D、
Because he enjoyed competition in this business.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】
解析:对话中女士说到:“在得知Ward赚了多少钱以后,另一个名叫Richard Sears的人也开展自己的邮购业务。”可见Sears是为了赚大钱,所以选C。“转折but处出题”。没有理由听不懂“how much money Ward was making”!profitable是make money的同义替换。
A、
Farmers.
B、
City people.
C、
Business people.
D、
Students.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】
解析:女士说:“邮购业务很受农场主欢迎”,并说“农场主们信赖Ward和Sears”。可知该业务的主要客户是农场主。本题较简单,对话中多次提到farmers。
A、
It helped students with spelling and adding.
B、
It helped students become familiar with a variety of goods.
C、
Students might order things from the catalog.
D、
Schools were short of textbooks at that time.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】
解析:男士很惊奇地问:“Textbooks?”下文女士给出了解释:“是啊,学生们用邮购表中事物的名称练习拼写,用其中的价格练习加法运算。”所以选A。适用“听到什么选什么”的原则。spelling与adding两个词一定会很“夺耳”!
