聽力原文：
In February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died of a heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want ads each day. Then one morning, as I was hanging out "Going out of Business" sign at the greenhouse, the door opened and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company has just moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for potted plants to place in the reception areas and offices. "I don't know anything about plants," she said, "I'm sure in a few weeks they'll all be dead." Why was I helping her select her purchases? My mind was racing. Perhaps as many as a dozen firms have recently opened offices in the new office park, and there were several hundred more acres with construction under way. That afternoon, I drove out to the office park. By six o'clock that evening I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner's family. Business is now increasing rapidly. And one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.
答案 & 解析
1. 選B）。此題屬于故事性短文中針對人物及專有名詞的細節(jié)進行提問。在瀏覽題干圈點專有名詞greenhouse后, 迅速在文章里聽到 "Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died of a heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it." 可以得到關(guān)于greenhouse的兩條信息：greenhouse的主人因心臟病突然死亡； greenhouse因無人接管而即將關(guān)閉。故選B)。
2. 選C）。此題屬于故事性短文中針對時間、對應的事件及原因進行提問。解答此題的關(guān)鍵是在瀏覽所給問題的基礎(chǔ)上，迅速得到關(guān)鍵詞即時間狀語when the customer walked in，在聽短文時便可針對性地做出筆記以記錄所給時間對應的事件，很容易捕獲信息“… as I was hanging out 'Going out of Business' sign at the greenhouse，the door opened and in walked a customer.”故選C)。
3. 選C）。此題仍屬于故事性短文中針對時間、對應的事件及原因進行提問。得到題干關(guān)鍵詞when serving the office manager后，在文中獲取 "Why was I helping her select her purchases? My mind was racing."故選C)。
4. 選A）。此題屬于故事性短文中針對故事的寓意進行提問。文章講了一個立志的創(chuàng)業(yè)故事，整篇文章將基調(diào)定在“奮斗”一詞上。再由含有寓意的結(jié)尾句 "And one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse."很容易得出正確選項A。故選A)。
