【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area city council woman was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was on the decline. The neighborhood faced many problems. Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There were charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. Mark read from the charts, 'Police patrols cut back, illegal parking up 20%.' People were supposed to suggest solutions to the council woman. It was too much for Mark. 'The problems are too big,' he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, 'I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I can do would make a difference here.' As he neared the bus stop on his way home, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted, and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy's arm and led him back to his mother. 'You gotta stay with room,' he said. Then he picked up the stray groceries while the woman smiled in relief. 'Thanks,' she said, 'You've got great timing.' 'Just being neighborly,' Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the poster near his seat in the bus: Small acts of kindness add up. Mark smiled and thought, 'Maybe that's a good place to start.' What did Mark think he should start doing? 短文一开头就提到,马克觉得现在是参与社区事务的时候了,随后他就去参加了社区会议,故选项B正确。其他三个选项文中均未提及,故排除。

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] What did Mark think of the community's problems? 短文中间部分提到,马克在了解了这次社区会议讨论的内容时,觉得这些问题都太大了;再结合马克接下来跟旁边的男士所说的话(“我觉得这是在浪费我的时间。我在这里起不到任何作用。”)可以推断,他认为个人的力量太渺小了,仅靠个人是无法解决这些问题的,故选项D正确。根据上下文推导不出A、B、C选项的结论,故排除。

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] Why did Mark smile on his ride home? 短文末尾提到,马克看到了公交车座位旁边海报上的一句话:微小的善行会积少成多。他想到自己刚刚帮助了一位女士,这正是一次微小的善行,从此开始经常做好事,善行就可积少成多,于是他笑了,故选项C正确。选项A和D文中均未提及;马克笑了是因为海报上的文字引起了他的共鸣,而不是因为海报的内容有趣,故选项B错误,需排除。
