【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Hey, Sam! You should take a look at this article about Canadian scorpions. M: I didn't know there were scorpions in Canada. I thought they only lived in deserts. W: Well, the deadly kinds do. Like in Arizona and New Mexico. M: I thought all scorpions were dangerous. W: No, only about 25 kinds are deadly to humans. Actually there are over 1,500 different species. But only one lives in Canada. M: Where in Canada? Not around here? W: Well, mostly Saskatchewan and Alberta. But yeah, right here in British Columbia too. M: Is the Canadian kind poisonous? W: Not for humans. Supposedly their sting is no worse than a bee's. Anyway scorpions are all over the place. They can live in just about any climate. In fact the only continent where they don't live is Antarctica. M: Why? Is it too cold there? W: There must be other reasons. M: Do tell me. My curiosity is aroused. W: OK. According to this article, scorpions can withstand conditions that'd probably kill most other animals. Scientists did all these experiments, like the scorpion was frozen in a block of ice for 3 weeks and when they melted the ice, it just walked away. M: It was still alive? W: Yeah. But what's most amazing is they also survived radiation levels 200 times higher than would kill a human. No wonder they've outlived the dinosaurs. M: Listen. I've got to run. But I'd really like a copy of that article. W: No problem. I'll make one for you. M: Thank you. How did the woman learn about the scorpions in Canada? 选项均以From开头，因此推断题目问来源。女士在对话一开始就开门见山地说：“你应该看一下这篇关于加拿大蝎子的文章。”故C正确。 虽然所有选项都没有在对话中出现，不过根据对话中女士说的关键词article“文章”，答案应与文字资料相关。注意B中的documentary表示“纪录片”，并非document“文献”，不属于article的范畴。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] Where do the two speakers probably live? 选项为地点，听音时听到哪一个即需在该选项旁适当做笔记。男士问蝎子在加拿大哪些地方，女士说：“就在我们这的British Columbia也有。”故B正确。 A、D都是毒可致命的蝎子的所在地，而C是加拿大蝎子主要生存的地方。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] What did the scientific experiments show about the scorpions? 根据选项可以预测出题目询问某生物的生活习性。女士两次提到蝎子的生命力——“在任何气候中生存”，“蝎子可经受住能杀死绝大部分其他动物的环境”。B中的survive和extreme分别对应对话中的withstand和kill most other animals，是对话原文的同义表达。 A说蝎子喜欢冷的气候，而对话中的实脸只是表明蝎子在很冷的情况下仍能存活。C和对话意思相反，对话中说蝎子能在高辐射强度的环境下存活。在对话中的outlived基础上设置的，不过没有原文依据。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] What will the woman do for the man? 对话末尾男子说他想要一份这篇关于蝎子文章的复印件，女士答应帮他弄一份，可知A正确。 女士是帮男子复印文章，而不是买书，排除C。B“和他去吃午餐”和D“和他去加拿大”在对话中均没有涉及，故排除B、D。
