Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Hmm, hi.
M: Hi, I am going door to door tonight to tell people about the student action coalition. Do you have a few minutes?
W: Sure. [19]I read something in the newspaper last week.
M: Yeah, there was an article about us since the last issue. See, [20]we are trying to protect and conserve some of the open spaces on campus.
W: That's right. You are the group that's opposing the extension of the parking lot next to Smith Hall, right?
M: That's us. We just feel it is important to save some of the natural beauty of the campus, like Over-by Swing. Some of those trees are hundreds of years old.
W: It is a pretty spot. My friends and I had picnics over there by the creek.
M: Then you understand how we feel. We are organizing a rally on Thursday afternoon to get the administration to reconsider the parking lot plan.
W: Well, I have a class on Thursday afternoon.
M: [21]But maybe you could sign this petition. We're going to summit it to the administration to demonstrate how the students feel about this.
W: Sure, [21]let me get a pen and I'll sign it.
M: I have a pen right here. And let me leave you this pamphlet about the student action coalition. Maybe you could come to some of our meetings. We get together once a month.
W: Yeah, I'd like to know more about your group. Let me know when the next meeting is and I'll try to be there.
M: The meeting is held on the fifth each month, and your coming will be welcome.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. How did the woman first learn about the student action coalition?
正確答案:C
解析:男士說明自己的來意后,女士說:“我上周在報紙上讀過(關于你們的)文章”,和C符合。選項主語都和She有關,女士的話是聽音重點。本題符合聽到什么選什么的情況。
20. What is the student action coalition trying to do?
正確答案:B
解析:男士說:“我們正在努力保護校園里面的戶外空地。”故答案應為B。原形動詞選項題,一般問建議或打算。選項B的preserve是對原文中的protect and conserve的同義概括。
21. What does the woman agree to do?
正確答案:D
解析:男士建議女士簽請愿書,女士痛快地答應要找支筆簽字,故答案為D。和上一題一樣,所有選項都是動詞開頭,注意原文中的關鍵動詞。
