【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 74-76
On behalf of all the senior and junior researchers in the special applications laboratory and the rest of the staff here at SienTech, I would like to thank the trustees, the board and the selection committee for this exceptional research award. We are very honored and very happy to receive the generous 20 million dollar grant, which will finance the construction of a new laboratory. The advances and discoveries we've made over the last five years are the result of extraordinary teamwork. We could not have accomplished any of this without the generous support of wise patrons, great colleagues, kind friends and, of course, our families. Thank you.

关键词researchers(研究人员)、laboratory(实验室)、advances(发展)、discoveries(发现)以及专有名词ScienTech表明说话人是科学家(A)。证券经纪人(B)和财务顾问(C)不会使用这些词汇。说话人说“I would like to thank the trustees(我想感谢资金受托管理人)”，所以说话人自己不可能是资金受托管理人(D)。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】说话人说“the...grant...w…finance the construction of a new laboratory．(这笔奖金会为一个新实验室的建设提供资金)”，所以他们将把这笔钱用于建一座新的(实验)场所(A)。说话人提到“I would like to thank...the board(我想感谢……委员会)”，但并不是要奖励委员会成员(B)。讲话中提到的advances意思为发展，而不是To give personnel advances(让员工升迁)(D)。讲话中未提及雇用新员工(C)。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】说话人正在因取得的工作成绩而接受奖励，所以他讲话的目的是庆祝某项成就(B)，而不是招聘新研究员(A)、宣布季度收益(C)或分发奖金(D)。
