【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文] At this week's CES technology expo, LG will be one of many TV makers to show off an impressive group of super-high-definition TVs. But there's one thing that separates LG from the competition. You can roll up one of LG's TVs like a newspaper. The 18-inch display is just one of the concept designs LG will be unveiling, as it attempts to predict the future of television screens. Also on display will be a 55-inch TV that is as thin as a piece of paper and a 65-inch 'extreme-curve' set of TVs that bend inwards and outwards. None of these TV will be sold this year—and it's possible they may never hit stores. It's also not totally clear why you'd want to roll up or bend your TV. Like automakers' 'concept cars', LG's TVs are meant to show off what's possible, even if it's not yet marketable, affordable or able to be mass-produced for consumers. TV makers continue to take a risk, by developing ultra-high definition televisions that produce richer pictures, and thinner profiles. But those TVs are becoming virtually indistinguishable from one another. It's concepts like LG's that may one day push the industry, forward into new markets and technologies it hasn't yet considered. What is the news report mainly about? 新闻一开始说LG在CES科技展上发布了一款新电视机。之后新闻就介绍了这款新电视的特点以及是否作零售等情况,本篇新闻都是围绕这款新电视机而展开的,所以答案选A项。 B项“电视机的市场份额减少”和C项“电视将被电脑取代”均没有在新闻中提到。D项“LG公司在电视机市场的竞争中落后了”是对文意误解,新闻中的separates LG from the competition是指LG公司的新电视使它不同于其他竞争对手。

【答案解析】[听力原文] What do we learn about LG's TVs on the expo? 关于展会上的LG电视,新闻中提到其中一款“可以像报纸一样卷起来”(roll up...like a newspaper),所以答案选D项。 新闻中提到,展会上的所有电视都不会出售(None of these TV will be sold this year),而且像“概念车”这些车大众消费不起,也不能大量生产(not...affordable and able to be mass-produced for customers)。A项“今年将在商店出售”、B项“可以大量生产”和C项“价格不高”均与新闻提到的内容相反。
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[听力原文] What may probably push TV industry into new markets? 新闻的末尾提到,正是像LG公司这样的概念才能使该行业进入新的市场(push the industry forward into new markets),而其中的concepts like LG's就是指该公司提出的可以弯曲的电视之类的概念,这些都是创新的概念,故答案选D项。 A项“CES科技展”只是在新闻一开始提到,是LG公司展示新产品的平台,与题目无关。新闻中提到一些厂家生产的高清电视(ultra-high definition televisions)在视觉上并无差别(virtually indistinguishable from one another),也就是说这些产品是类同的,没有创新性,故排除B项。C项只是利用新闻中出现的distinguishable作干扰,答非所问。
