【正确答案】美国是一个车轮上的国家，几乎每一个人都拥有自己的车，有些人甚至对此充满了狂热。美国人可以花上数小时讨论是要买进口车还是国产车，怎样的车型最适合家用，怎样的车型最适合运动。汽车修理也是大众话题，你可以参与他们有关汽车的讨论，谈谈自己的车，或者和大家分享从汽车杂志上读来的信息，比如《车与驾车人》或者《大众机械》等杂志。

【答案解析】[听力原文]
America is a nation on wheels. Most Americans are car owners, and some are even obsessive about the subject. They can spend hours discussing whether to buy a foreign car or an American car, and deciding on the best family car or the best sports car. Car repair is also a popular topic. You can participate in their discussion by talking about cars you have owned or by sharing information you've read in automotive magazines such as "car and driver" or "popular mechanics".

[解析] 本段的内容贴近社会生活，前后信息联系紧密，便于考生记忆。第一句是主题句，记录关键词“on wheels”，第二句则是进一步说明，关键词是“car owners”和“obsessive”。下文从“obsessive”引申出具体的说明，讲述了多个讨论的话题，有车的品种、类别，还有车的维修。最后提及两本杂志，如果具体名称把握得不够精准也无妨，听译重在译出听力材料中的主要内容，过于细节化的内容稍有疏漏不会造成大的失分，考生重在保持平和的心态，抓住段落的脉络和走向。
