【答案解析】[听力原文]
   M: Nice to have you here, Karen. Could you tell us how you became interested in ballet?
   W: Well, I actually saw Celia Franka dance, and now she founded the National Ballet of Canada. And she was dancing in my hometown—Giselle, Canada, and I was taken for my birthday, and I saw her dance, I fell in love with it, and I started taking lessons of it when I was around ten.
   M: Now you were married fairly recently, weren't you?
   W: It'll be three years next month, yes.
   M: Is touring and so forth hard on married life? I believe your husband's an actor, isn't he?
   W: Yes, he is.
   M: So you're probably both away quite a lot.
   W: We've been very fortunate. We've managed to stay together most of the time. The longest we were separated was when I was on tour with the National Ballet in Europe last spring, and I was gone for six weeks, and he was making a television series and he was in Australia for six weeks. So we have been separated a few times, but most of the time we manage to be together. We've just been very fortunate.
   M: Throughout the year...how much time do you have off away from the dance?
   W: Very little. I'm trying to make sure that I get one week in June this year, because I have not had more than two days free since a year ago. So I've been working very hard, and I feel that I really need one week free, you know.
   M: How long can a ballerina go on before she should start thinking of retiring?
   W: I hope that I have another ten years at most to dance.
   M: What would you do after that? Would you leave the ballet completely or go into teaching, or choreography?
   W: I don't think choreography, I don't think I have any talent in...you know...I have no desire, no talent. I like to teach, I like to coach young dancers. I don't think I would leave the ballet world entirely, but I may try something else. You never know. I'm interested in other things and I have done some sorts of musical comedy work, and I've enjoyed it very much—just to expand myself a little and to look around. And this Christmas again I'll be playing Cinderella in an English pantomime—which is great tim for me. I really have fun and it's not serious dancing, you know, and I get to speak and act and everything. So I don't know. I would also like to have a family, so I have a lot of things that I may do.
   Where's Karen from?
选项都是国家或地区名,听音时需特别留意与这几个名词相关的信息。本题问Karen来自于哪里。会话中,女士提到,她看过Celia Franka跳舞,并且Celia Franka是在女士(Karen)家乡加拿大的Giselle跳舞,由此可见,女士来自加拿大,故选A。B项是利用Franka作近音干扰,会话并未提到法国,排除B;女士提到,她跟丈夫分开最长的那段时间,她在欧洲,丈夫在澳大利亚,由此可见C、D也不正确。
