四.听短文回答问题

我们还是依照惯例念一段文章给你听, 听完之后请你回答三个问题. 今天这段 文章主要是说 Kate 要到超级市场去买鸡, 买青菜, 买面包, 牛奶等等.

现在我们先用正常速度念给你听.

Kate is going to the supermarket to buy some groceries today. First, she checks to see what she needs to buy. How much bread does she need? How much butter? What kind of vegetables? Is there enough fruit? Next, Kate makes a shopping list. She is planning to buy two chickens,two heads of cabbage, four tomatoes,and two loaves of bread. She's also going to need two quarts of milk and a dozen eggs. Then, she thinks about money. How much money does she need? Ten dollars? No, maybe twenty. There isn't a lot of money in her purse. She'll have to stop at the bank on her way to the supermarket.
