Where did the woman get the information about the "smart" car?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] 18-21 M: I'm sorry. I'm late. W: That's all right. John. My house is not that easy to find. But you know you wouldn't have gotten lost if you had a smart car. M: A smart car? What's that? W: I just read a magazine article about some new technology that can make a car smart. One device is a computerized map display and an artificial voice. You just enter the address for where you want to go and the voice will tell you how to get there,street by street. M: Hey, that's just like my brother. He never gets lost and he's always telling me the best route. So what else will the smart cars be able to do? W: Well, the article says there'll be a device with read-on warning systems that will warn drivers with a long signal if they're getting too close to other cars. And they will even put on brakes if the drivers don't. M: Tell me, Shelly. Will these cars be smart enough to fill themselves up with gas? W: Not by now. Why do you ask? M: I'm not late because I got lost. I'm late because I ran out of gas on the way over there. 本题只要捕捉到女士所说“I just read a magazine article about some new technology that can make a car smart.”,就可得知女士是从杂志的文章中得到有关智能汽车的信息的,因此[B]选项为正确答案。

What does the man imply about his brothers?
【正确答案】
A

Why was the man late?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】本题的关键是听懂对话的最后部分男士所说“I'm not late because I got lost. I'm late because I ran out of gas on the way over there.”此句中使用了否定转移,not在形式上是否定late,但实际上否定的是because I got lost,男士表达的真正含义为“我来晚了,不是因为我迷路了,而是因为车在路上没油了。”因此[B]选项正确。
