单选题 Charles' shop does NOT sell

A、 cigarettes.
B、 chocolates.
C、 writing paper and envelops.
D、 a fax machine.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] 7-10 W: Well, Charles, I must say that your shop is pretty remarkable. [7]Urn, it's basically a sweetshop, but you also do stationery, greeting cards, tobacco and fireworks... M: And newspapers. W: And newspapers. Ah. And apart from all that, you've got photocopiers... M: That's right. W: And a fax machine. M: Indeed. W: Yes. How did... I mean, why the photocopiers? M: Everything that's happened in my shop has almost happened by accident. [9]But when I got into Clifton, I needed a photocopy one day and no one could tell me where to go. So it struck me that if I didn't know where to go, other people were in the same situation, so that's why I started it. And then I added on a facsimile machine because it seemed like a natural progression at the time. And all sorts of people use it. W: Yes, who, what sort of people do use it? M: [10] Um, a lot of professional people—surveyors, engineers—particularly people who need to send, plans. [8] Because in the past you could send messages via telex, but a telex can't express a plan, whereas facsimile has that dimension, the added dimension. W: Right. And do people send these fax messages abroad, or is it just to this country? M: Well, it's surprising because when I started, I thought I'd be sending things to London and maybe Birmingham, [9] but in fact, a high percentage of it is sent abroad, because it's immediate, it's very speedy. [解析] 对话中谈到Charles’ shop主要是一个糖果店，但也出售文具(stationery)、贺卡(greeting cards)、烟草制品(tobacco)、炮竹(fireworks)等等商品，并提供复印传真服务，而不是出售传真机，故答案D正确。 [点睛] 事实细节题。题目要求选出NOT的一项，所以需要对听到的内容进行一一排除，从而得到答案。

C、 it can send things that could not be expressed by telex.
D、 the Royal Mail could not reach places abroad.

【正确答案】 C

单选题 What can we learn from the conversation?

A、 Charles bought a photocopier because all sorts of people need it.
B、 Charles bought a photocopier by accident.
C、 There was no place nearby to provide the photocopy service.
D、 Few people send fax messages abroad.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 对话中谈到商店提供复印服务是因为没有人知道哪里可以复印，隐含着附近没有提供复印的地方，故答案为C。 [点睛] 推理判断题。对话中谈到有a high percent- age的人发传真到国外，故选项D排除。选项A、 B的内容在对话中没有提及。

单选题 Who do NOT use the facsimile machine according to the conversation?

A、 Engineers.
B、 Shopkeeper.
C、 Professional people.
D、 Surveyors.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 对话中谈到许多professional people需要传真服务，只有shopkeeper除外。 [点晴]事实细节题。此题答案在对话中明确讲到，同时仔细看选项会发现只有shopkeeper和其他三选项不属同一个范畴，答案应不难得出。
