Conversation Two
W: Hi, Tim. Are you doing some last-minute shopping before the weekend?
M: Actually, [22]I'm looking for supplies to put together 72-hour kits for my family.
W: What's that?
M: Basically, [22]a 72-hour kit contains emergency supplies you would need to sustain yourself for three days in case of an emergency.
W: So, what do you keep in it?
M: Well, you should have enough food and water to last you three days, and you might want to pack a basic water filter in case your only water source turns out to be a pool of bug-infested water.
W: Ugh!
M: [23]As for food, you should keep it simple: food that requires little or even no preparation and that doesn't spoil.
W: That makes sense.
M: Then, you have to decide on the type of shelter you might need. [24]You might have to evacuate to a shelter, possibly with hundreds or thousands of other people.
W: That doesn't sound very fun... [24]everyone packed together like sardines in a can.
M: I always pack a sleeping bag or small, lightweight tent in the event that I have to survive on the street or in a park.
W: Wow. What about money? I have a credit card.
M: That will help. But you'd better be prepared with coins and cash, and having small bills is a must.
W: So, what do you do to communicate with other family members in case you get separated?
M: [25]I always pack two-way radios to communicate with the group. You can never depend on cell phones. Plus, you should decide on a meeting point in case your family gets separated.
W: Well, that sounds like a detailed plan.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What does the man want to buy?
正確答案:C
解析:第一輪對話中男士就提到了主題詞72-hour kits,后來又解釋說a 72-hour kit包括三天的應急供應品,故答案為C。
23. What does the man say about food?
正確答案:C
解析:根據選項可知問題與食品有關,聽到As for food時注意捕捉后面的信息:關鍵詞是little/no preparation,即C。
24. What does the woman think of an emergency shelter?
正確答案:A
解析:聽到shelter時注意相關描述,關鍵在于理解習語packed like sardiness in a can“像罐頭里的沙丁魚”,比喻擁擠不堪。所以A正確。如果聽到了男士說的“可能和成百上千的人住在一起”也可以大概猜出女士的話意。
25. What should be relied on in communication with the group according to the man?
正確答案:A
解析:四個選項都是物品,聽音時要注意與對話內容匹配。男士說:“我使用無線電與團隊交流,你絕不能依賴手機”。所以A正確。對話結尾常常是出題之處。
