【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] Governments from Singapore to South Korea are increasingly lifting restrictions on gambling. But gamblers do not have to wait for new casinos to open to place their bets: They can just use their mobile phones. Walter Adamson, an Australian consultant for Internet and mobile services, says the requirement for what is called mobile gambling is a phone that can connect to the Internet, where gaming operators offer special sites. 'The provider of your system needs to provide a mobile Internet service and many telephone companies, particularly in Japan and Korea, provide Internet services on the mobile phone. Then they can access any Internet site that is designed for access by mobile phones.' Europe is the largest market for mobile gambling, but telecommunications analysts predict that Asia will catch up soon. What is needed to play mobile gambling? 本题问进行手机赌博的条件。新闻中提到,手机赌博的条件就是一台能上网的手机(a phone that can connect to the Internet),故B项正确,其中的Internet access就是指“能连接互联网的”。 新闻开始部分就提到,手机赌博不需要等到新赌场开张,A项利用新闻中的new casinos作干扰。C项的special sites和D项的Internet system都有在新闻中出现,但都不是手机赌博所必须的条件。
