Conversation Two

M: How do you like the new art museum?

W: Wonderful! I spent most of my time at the art museum. Iespecially liked the new wing. I was amazed to hear the guide explain theproblems they had building it.

M: Right. [23]I just read an article that went on and onabout the cost. 90 million in total I think.

W: Yeah. The guide mentioned that. You could see theyspared no expense.

M: Hm. It looked really unusual, at least from what I sawin the picture.

W: It is. [24]The basic design is two triangles. In factthere are triangles all over, the paving stones in the courtyard, the skylightsand even a lot of the sculptures. One sculpture is a mobile. It's in thecourtyard and it's made of pieces of aluminum that moves slowly in the air.It's really impressive.

M: That was in the article too. [25]It said that theoriginal was steel and it weighed so much that it wasn't safe to hand.

W: Right. They did it over in aluminum so it wouldn't comecrashing down on someone's head.

M: You know the article went into that in detail. There waseven an interview with the sculptor.

W: I'd like to read that. Would you mind if I borrow themagazine sometime?

M: No. I wouldn't mind if I haven't thrown it out yet.

24. According to the woman, what do the paving stones,skylights and mobile have in common?

25. What was the problem with the original mobile?

答案和解析

听力对话答案

23. [C]

解析：对话中男士说：“我刚读过一篇文章，详细介绍了它的建造费用。”因此只有C最合适。主语都是He，本题应重点关注男士说的话，听到对话中男士说的“I just read an article...”，“听到什么选什么”，动词的原词再现清楚地标示了答案。

24. [D]

解析：对话中女士说：“其基本设计是两个三角形。事实上，那里到处都是三角形：院子里的铺路石啦、天窗啦，甚至许多雕塑作品都是三角形的。”D正确。本题答题之处语义特征明显，题目本身也指代清楚，所以并不难解答。

25. [B]

解析：男士说：“文章也介绍了那个移动雕塑。它说，该雕塑原本是用钢铁做的，实在太重了，把它挂起来不安全。”句中hand作及物动词，表示“支持、搀扶”，这里指让雕塑在空中悬挂住（而不致摔落），并能在空中移动。因此，B正确。
