Conversation Two
M: How do you and your housemates like [22]the new co-op? I'm thinking of joining it myself.
W: We like it quite a bit. We get some very fresh produce and staples and fair prices.
M: Does it save time?
W: Unfortunately, the answer is no. The co-op doesn't carry everything. So we still wind up going to the supermarkets too, for cleaning supplies, batteries, that sort of thing.
M: I wish the co-op sold those items.
W: Well, I've been talking about it with some of the other members.
M: What do members have to do? Just pay a membership fee?
W: Yeah. There's a fee and there're meetings. But attendance isn't acquired. [23]But we do have to work there for an hour every week, which isn't too bad. Once you are there you can get your shopping done.
M: I wouldn't mind working there for some time. You'll get to know about the products. [24]But is the food free of additives? That will be the main reason I join. I'm a convert from junk food. Until now my diets have been largely chemical additives and pesticides.
W: Well, a lot of food is pure and pesticide-free. They also have vitamin supplements and soy and tofu and that kind of thing. Lots of health food enthusiasts shop there. So if any source is health oriented, the co-op is.
M: I'd like to try it just for a month or so. Do they have trial memberships?
W: The shortest membership time is one month. Then if you like it, you can join for longer periods. And it becomes cheaper. [25]A six-month membership costs as much as five individual months.
M: Sounds pretty easy. Maybe next time I run into you again it'll be at the checkout line in the co-op.

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What are the speakers mainly discussing?
正確答案：A
解析：對(duì)話開門見山地提到對(duì)消費(fèi)合作社的看法，然后圍繞這個(gè)話題展開討論，談到這個(gè)合作社的好處和不足，以及入社要求和費(fèi)用。男士第一句就說：“你和你同屋的人對(duì)于那個(gè)合作社看法如何？我也考慮加入。”直接進(jìn)入話題，故A正確。選項(xiàng)為名詞短語，通常問主旨。主旨題的答案特征為含核心詞、具概括性。雖然沒有選項(xiàng)A中的food一詞，不過后面錄音中“fresh produce and staples”以及“food free of additives”說明了這個(gè)合作社是關(guān)于食品消費(fèi)的。
23. What do the members of the co-op have to do?
正確答案：D
解析：男士問“成員需要做些什么”，女士回答：“我們每周必須在那里工作一個(gè)小時(shí)。”故答案是D。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是動(dòng)詞原形，一般這種題目問建議、打算或?qū)⒁龅氖隆Ｂ牭绞裁催x什么。
24. What is the purpose for the man to join the co-op?
正確答案：B
解析：男士說“不過那里的食品是不是都沒有添加劑啊？這是我要加入的主要原因。”和B符合。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是動(dòng)詞不定式結(jié)構(gòu)，多表示目的、打算或?qū)淼膭?dòng)作。根據(jù)選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容可以判斷題目詢問做某事情的目的，尤其選項(xiàng)C中含有his，說明詢問男士做事情的目的。聽到什么選什么。
25. What will benefit the people who join the co-op for a six-month period?
正確答案：C
解析：女士說：“6個(gè)月的會(huì)員費(fèi)只相當(dāng)于5個(gè)單月的費(fèi)用。”言下之意，費(fèi)用會(huì)比單月付要低，故C正確。
