Passage Three
[32]British police say a second man has been arrested in connection with failed bomb attacks Thursday on the London transport system. Officials say the man was arrested Friday in the same south London area where police arrested another suspect earlier in the day. Also Friday police shot and killed a man at an underground train station in the same area. Officials say the shooting was linked to the investigation. Police have released pictures of four men suspected of attempting to explode bombs on subway trains and a bus.
An earthquake hit parts of Japan near Tokyo Saturday. The earthquake injured at least 18 people. At least one building in the Japanese capital was damaged. The Haneda and Narita airports closed temporarily to check for damage. Officials stopped some of the Japanese high-speed trains after the earthquake. [33]Japanese officials say the earthquake did not cause any tsunamis.
North Korea says it does not need to meet directly with Japan during 6-party nuclear talks next week. [35]The official North Korean news agency reported a North Korean objection to Japan's demands that the talks include North Korea's kidnapping of Japanese citizens during the Cold War period that followed World War II. [34]A South Korean diplomat said Friday that the talks would involve only nuclear disarmament and not other issues. He said the countries taking part in the talks have agreed that North Korea's human rights record should not be discussed.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. How many suspects have been arrested related to failed bomb attacks Thursday in London?
正確答案：B
解析：第1則新聞開始就說：“英國警方說，又一個涉嫌與星期四倫敦交通系統未遂炸彈襲擊案有關的男人被捕。”可見一共抓了兩個人，故B正確。數字題，需要明白短文中相關數字的含義，然后根據問題來作答。
33. What was not the result of the earthquake in Japan?
正確答案：D
解析：第2則新聞末尾說：“日本官員說，該地震沒有導致海嘯?！惫蔇正確。對于問“何者不正確”的題目，必須一個個選項加以判斷。
34. What would be the key subject of the 6-party talks?
正確答案：D
解析：第3則新聞稱：一位韓國外交官星期五說，會談只討論解除核武器的問題，沒有別的議題。六方會談的核心議題是D，即朝鮮半島的核問題。四個選項均為名詞詞組，由選項中的關鍵詞（尤其是專有名詞）來看，本題可能問六國共同關注的問題。短文中雖提到A，但它不是key subject，故可排除A。由短文中的用詞only... and not other issues可以斷定語義重心，從而得出答案。
35. What is Japan's demand for the 6-party talks?
正確答案：A
解析：第3則新聞提到，“朝鮮官方新聞機構報道，朝鮮反對日本提出的把二戰結束后的冷戰期間朝鮮綁架日本公民的問題列入會談議題的要求?！睋Q言之，日本要求會談討論綁架人質問題，而朝鮮表示反對，故選A。新聞題多與背景有關。多了解時事，有助于答題。
