Conversation Two
M: [22]Can you tell me something about the university shuttle bus system? This is such a large campus, and I have classes all over campus. I need to take the shuttle bus from one class to another, or I'll never make it on time.
W: What do you need to know? I think it's a really great system.
M: First of all, where does it go?
W: [23]The university shuttle bus system goes all over campus. It doesn't leave the campus; if you want to travel off-campus, you'll need to take the city bus system. But the university shuttle bus system will get you from one class to the next very efficiently.
M: And how much does it cost?
W: [24]It's free, can you believe it? So you don't have to pay a cent to get all around the university campus.
M: That's really great. And how do I catch the shuttle bus?
W: [25]Just look for one of the bright yellow shuttle bus signs, and go stand next to it. You can see the yellow shuttle bus signs all over campus. A shuttle bus will come along approximately every five minutes, so you shouldn't have to wait long.
M: That all sounds good. Thanks for your help.
W: No problem.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What are the man and woman discussing?
正確答案:D
解析:選項(xiàng)全是名詞短語,問對(duì)話主題的幾率頗大。對(duì)話開頭的第一句話就點(diǎn)出了答案所在,即D。如果實(shí)在沒有聽懂第一句話,后面還有機(jī)會(huì)聽出答案,因?yàn)槿闹v的都是the university bus system。
23. What area does the university shuttle bus cover?
正確答案:A
解析:選項(xiàng)都是地點(diǎn)和范圍,而且選項(xiàng)之間有包孕關(guān)系。在范圍上,C包含A、B和D,所以可以初步排除C。聽到第一句話講的是the university bus system,就可以排除D(人家說了是校內(nèi)巴士,怎么會(huì)包括校外地區(qū)呢)。所以關(guān)鍵是要聽清巴士線路是否通達(dá)全校。標(biāo)志詞組“First of all”后面緊跟著一個(gè)問句,注意聽答案。A正確。
24. How much does the shuttle bus cost?
正確答案:A
解析:從選項(xiàng)可以看出,問的是“多少錢”,馬上就知道一定是問巴士車票多少錢。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵表達(dá)free(免費(fèi)的)和don't have to pay a cent,可知答案為A。
25. What color are the shuttle bus signs?
正確答案:C
解析:看到選項(xiàng)都是顏色,就要格外留神聽對(duì)話中出現(xiàn)顏色的地方。對(duì)話兩次提到y(tǒng)ellow這個(gè)詞,且未提及其他顏色,故不難得出答案C。
