Conversation Two
M: Hello! You seem worried. Can I help you?
W: Oh, I feel so strange with my feet in the skis (滑雪屐).
M: So you don't know how to ski. Is it the first time you come here skiing?
W: It's even the first time I have seen the real white snow.
M: No kidding! Where are you from, young lady?
W: My family and I live in Hainan Province, China. We do not have snow in winter. It's always sunshine.
M: No wonder. I guess you must be a good swimmer, then.
W: You're right. [23]Swimming is my favourite hobby. But I simply don't know what to do with these skis.
M: Don't worry. I'm sure you will learn it very soon. Now walk as I do, all right?... Good! [24]Let's go up the hill and try once, shall we? When you want to go up the slope, you should stand sideways and go up step by step, just like a crab!
W: Oh, it's really funny. I've never walked in this way, but it's interesting.
M: [24]Let's move to the gentle slope, shall we? It will make things easier.
W: I guess I'm a little nervous.
M: Take it easy. Trust yourself. Now, keep leaning forward while going down. Remember the tips mustn't cross or you'll fall down. [25]If you want to stop, you should point the tips together, got it?
W: I see. Oh, I have done it! Thank you. You are so kind!
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What is the woman's favourite hobby?
正确答案:C
解析:“原词照搬型”细节题,抓住与题目相关的词句“Swimming is my favourite hobby.”,就能直接获得答案,即C。要注意听清楚题目问的是谁(男士还是女士)的爱好。
24. Where did the man lead the woman first in order to make things easier?
正确答案:B
解析:选项都跟hill(山)有关,都是指hill的位置,估计提问将以Where开头。这时再回过头看看第23题,就不难确定本对话将涉及到的运动是A项Skiing(滑雪),因为只有滑雪非得有山不可,这是常识告诉我们的。本题是细节题,问“男士为简单起见,最先把女士领到何处?”男士的话提供了答案,即B。此处的考点是祈使句的反意疑问句。
25. If the woman wants to stop, what should she do?
正确答案:D
解析:四个选项相同的部分是She should,只是动词不同,所以听音时要特别留意动词。D项是对原文“you should point the tips together”的再现,只不过换了个人称而已。本题是对话结尾处的命题。
