Passage Two
To finish today's program, I want to tell you about the Waterside Shopping Centre, near Northport, which I visited last week. It has something for everyone and I would recommend it for a day out. It's taken three years to build [29]and finally opened three weeks ago, two months later than planned.
Firstly, getting there; there are organized coach trips from most towns in the area but they leave early and come home very late, [30]so I drove. There are 12,000 free parking spaces, so parking is no problem. You can also get there by train, but the station is 15 minutes from Waterside by bus, and the buses are really crowded, so you sometimes have a long wait.
The shopping centre is arranged on three levels. You'll find all your favorites here. In fact if you want to buy a pair of shoes there are 15 different shops to choose from on levels one and two. When you run out of money there are seven different banks, but collect your money before you get to the third level as there aren't any banks up there. [31]On that level, however, there are several restaurants, as well as a cinema with seven screens. And don't get lost like I did, go to the information desk on the first level and get a map.
Before you go back to your car or the bus-and in fact it might be better to do this before you go shopping and have too much to carry-go and see the lake. [32]Take a walk or have a go at fishing, sailing or windsurfing if you have time. Or you can rest your tired feet and watch the birds and ducks, but you are asked not to feed them.

Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. When was the shopping center opened?
正確答案：B
解析：細節題。文章詳細說明了購物中心的情況：花費三年打造，終于在三個星期前正式營業，比預期晚了兩個月，故選B。由選項可知，此題考查時間。聽音關鍵在于抓住主要時間點，two months ago是計劃開業的時間，并非實際時間，故C錯。
30. What is the best way of traveling to Waterside according to the speaker?
正確答案：C
解析：推斷題。短文提到自行駕車前往是最好的選擇，而且該購物中心提供12000個免費停車位，可推斷C是最佳答案。由選項可知，此題考查使用某個交通工具。因此聽音重點應放在它們之間的比較上。短文提到專線車出發早，回來晚；巴士很擁擠；火車站離購物中心太遠等缺點，故A、B、D都可排除。
31. What can you do on the third level?
正確答案：B
解析：推斷題。文章提及了購物中心有三層，第三層里有餐飲和電影院，可推斷B正確。表轉折之處常出考題，因此聽到however就要注意，記錄其后的內容。三樓沒有銀行；買鞋子是在一樓和二樓，故C、D錯誤，A在原文并無提及。
32. Apart from shopping, what else can you do at Waterside?
正確答案：A
解析：細節題。短文最后提供了一些建議，包括散步、釣魚、帆船運動、沖浪等等。A是其中一項，故正確。舉例處常考，考生要特別留意，凡聽到并列舉例之處，就要開始做筆記了。雖然短文提及see the lake，但是那不是在車上看的，因此強干擾項B錯誤。
