Section B
Passage One
Paul, a salesman from London, was driving past a sports car parked outside a supermarket when he saw it start to roll slowly down the hill. Inside the car were two young girls on the passenger seat but no driver. Paul stopped quickly, jumped in front of the sports car and tried to stop it-pushing against the front of the car. Another man, who was standing nearby, got into the car and put on the hand brake, [29]saving the girls from injury. It was at this point that [26]Paul noticed his own car rolling slowly down the hill and going too fast for him to stop it. It crashed into a bus at the bottom of the hill and was so badly damaged that it had to be pulled away to a garage. As if this was not bad enough, [28]Paul now found he had no one to blame. He was so busy chasing his car that he did not get the name of the driver of the sports car [27]who just came out of the supermarket and drove away without realizing what had happened.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Which car was badly damaged?
正確答案:C
解析:題目詢問哪輛車受到了嚴重損壞。關鍵是聽到“Paul看到自己的車慢慢滑下了山……,在山腳下與一輛公交車相撞,損壞得非常嚴重……。”符合短文聽力“聽到什么選什么”的原則。選項A、D中提到的車是Paul挽救的;文中沒有提到選項B的內容。
27. Where was the driver of the sports car when the accident happened?
正確答案:D
解析:關鍵是聽懂文章最后一句,其中提到“跑車司機剛走出超市”,說明事故發生時,那個司機在超市里。故答案為D。文中說跑車里面沒有司機,所以A不正確;在山腳下的是一輛公交車,不是跑車司機,所以B不正確;文中提到Paul的車受損嚴重,要拖去garage,故選項C與問題無關。
28. Who did Paul think was to blame for the accident?
正確答案:A
解析:題目詢問Paul認為這場事故的發生是誰的錯。關鍵是聽到文章最后所述:“Paul現在發現沒人可責備,他忙著追自己的車,以至于沒能得到跑車司機的名字,而那個司機根本不知道發生了什么事,揚長而去了。”Paul去挽救跑車,才導致自己的車嚴重損壞,因此事故責任在跑車司機,即A。文章中沒有提到車里的兩個女孩做了些什么,因而與事故的發生無關,B不正確;C中提到的男士挽救了跑車和車里的人,不是導致事故的人;選項D所指的人即Paul。
29. Who was injured in the accident?
正確答案:A
解析:題目詢問誰在事故中受了傷。全文沒有提到任何人受傷,即A。文中與兩個女孩有關的原話是“另一個站在附近的人上了跑車,拉下手剎,使兩個女孩免于受傷”,所以B不正確。
