【答案解析】[解析] 71-73
Hi Lucy, this is David from the warehouse. We've been having trouble with the air conditioning for the past two days. We have a lot of items in the shipment area thatare easily damaged, and we could lose the entire inventory if the weather outside gottoo hot. I've been sending e-mails to Ahmed since yesterday, but no one from hisdepartment has responded or come down to check on the situation. Please arrangeto send your crew as soon as possible. This is really urgent, so I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
这道题考查的是留言的主要内容。其实除了留言类文章,还包括广播及对话,其主题一般都会出现在开头部分。所以我们应该集中注意力听录音的前10秒内容。在这道题中,“We've been having trouble with the air conditioning for the past two days”这一句是重点。只要我们听懂“空调出了问题”就OK了。(A)“Amaintenance issue”就是对原文中“troublewith the air conditioning”进行的同义替换。能够对“同义替换”句迅速作出反应是在托业考试中得高分的必备技能。
