答案解析

Now you'll hear the two long concersations.
Conversation One
M: You like living in the city, don't you?
W: Oh, I love it. It's so convenient. I can take the bus to work, or the subway, or the taxi. And there is so much to do.
M: I know what you mean. [20]I'd like to live in the city, but to live in the suburbs is better for children.
W: Well, there are a lot of good things about suburban living. But, as a working woman, I think a city has all the conveniences-including the best food and fastest news.
M: [20]But there are more trees, grass and fresh air in the suburbs.
W: Yeah, but living in a city, it's convenient to go everywhere. There are lots of movie houses, theaters and so on. You can take them to the suburbs on the weekends.
M: Yeah, children are the right age. There are lots of things for them here.
W: You are right. They are at the library in Brooklyn. And they come back home for lunch, then go uptown to the Museum of Natural History. [21]There is so much for young people to see and do.
M: [21]Not just for young people. What about me? I've never been to the Museum of Natural History.
W: Neither have I. When I was a child, I used to go to the Museum of Art.
M: I've been there several times. Twice with children.
W: [22]Well, I have an idea. Next weekend, we go to the Museum of Natural History.
M: Ok, that's really a very nice idea.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What are the two speakers talking about?
正确答案:B
解析:主旨题。对话开头谈到了住郊区和市区各自的好处,后面的重点是聚焦在小孩的教育方面,所以选项B最全面。
20. What does the man think of living in the suburbs?
正确答案:C
解析:细节题。对话中男士认为住在郊区对孩子有好处,那里有更多的树木、绿草和新鲜空气,因此C项是对原文最好的概括。A、B项是女士喜欢居住在城市的原因,D项对话中并未提及。
21. Which is true about the man's opinion of the city?
正确答案:C
解析:细节判断题。根据女士的观点,她认为对孩子们there is much to see and do。男士紧接着指出,不仅对年轻人如此,他本人也有尚未去过的博物馆,言下之意是成年人在城市里也有很多可看之处及可做之事。所以答案应是C。A在对话中未提及,B偏离话题,D与事实相反。
22. What do we know about the woman according to the conversation?
正确答案:D
解析:细节题。对话中男士说他从来没有去过自然历史博物馆,女士回答说她也没有去过,并建议下个周末一起去,因此D项正确。
