【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Good evening, and welcome to this week's Business World, the program for and about business people. Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over an established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store? M: Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I'll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn't let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I'd love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want. W: You mean you don't keep regular hours? M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early. W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet? M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It's great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers. W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business. What is the woman doing? 根据选项推测本题问的是一位女士在做某事。女士一开始就说欢迎来到本周的商务世界,这是一个关于商务人士并且为商务人士提供服务的节目。据此我们可以判断女士是这一节目的主持人,因此选D。A“修理自行车”、B“做市场调查”及C“做商业管理的演讲”在女士的话中完全没有提及。对话开头便出现了关键词program,符合长对话“听到什么选什么”的原则。

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文] What did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop? 通过选项内容结合其所用的过去时态判断本题问男士过去的职业。男士说他在一家大公司作全职销售的时候很少有时间享受自己的爱好。由此判断他在开自行车店前是一名销售员,故应选A。B、D无中生有,C是根据对话中的男士说喜欢修理自行车( fixing)而设置的干扰。

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] Why did the man take over a bicycle shop? 通过选项判断会问男士做某事的原因。男士提到当他从银行得到贷款,他知道自己喜欢当自己的老板。因此选B。本题B复现了原文being his own boss,符合长对话“听到什么选什么”的原则。其他三项均为无中生有,注意C中的词组start from scratch意为“从零开始”。

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文] What do we learn about the people working in the shop? 当女士问他是否雇人帮忙的时候,他回答说有几个和他一样喜欢自行车的朋友一个星期会来帮几天忙,可知在店里帮忙的都是男士的朋友,故应选A。B的five days a week过于具体,原话只说是a few days;C中的paid by the hour无中生有;D的gambling过度推断,对话仅说他们有时会在一起打扑克,不能说明他们好赌。
