新编四级听力练习 第334期

Section B
Passage One
Paul, a salesman from London, was driving past a sports car parked outside a supermarket when he saw it start to roll slowly down the hill. Inside the car were two young girls on the passenger seat but no driver. Paul stopped quickly, jumped in front of the sports car and tried to stop it-pushing against the front of the car. Another man, who was standing nearby, got into the car and put on the hand brake, [29]saving the girls from injury. It was at this point that [26]Paul noticed his own car rolling slowly down the hill and going too fast for him to stop it. It crashed into a bus at the bottom of the hill and was so badly damaged that it had to be pulled away to a garage. As if this was not bad enough, [28]Paul now found he had no one to blame. He was so busy chasing his car that he did not get the name of the driver of the sports car [27]who just came out of the supermarket and drove away without realizing what had happened.

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Which car was badly damaged?
正确答案：C
解析：题目询问哪辆车受到了严重损坏。关键是听到“Paul看到自己的车慢慢滑下了山……，在山脚下与一辆公交车相撞，损坏得非常严重……。”符合短文听力“听到什么选什么”的原则。选项A、D中提到的车是Paul挽救的；文中没有提到选项B的内容。
27. Where was the driver of the sports car when the accident happened?
正确答案：D
解析：关键是听懂文章最后一句，其中提到“跑车司机刚走出超市”，说明事故发生时，那个司机在超市里。故答案为D。文中说跑车里面没有司机，所以A不正确；在山脚下的是一辆公交车，不是跑车司机，所以B不正确；文中提到Paul的车受损严重，要拖去garage，故选项C与问题无关。
28. Who did Paul think was to blame for the accident?
正确答案：A
解析：题目询问Paul认为这场事故的发生是谁的错。关键是听到文章最后所述：“Paul现在发现没人可责备，他忙着追自己的车，以至于没能得到跑车司机的名字，而那个司机根本不知道发生了什么事，扬长而去了。”Paul去挽救跑车，才导致自己的车严重损坏，因此事故责任在跑车司机，即A。文章中没有提到车里的两个女孩做了些什么，因而与事故的发生无关，B不正确；C中提到的男士挽救了跑车和车里的人，不是导致事故的人；选项D所指的人即Paul。
29. Who was injured in the accident?
正确答案：A
解析：题目询问谁在事故中受了伤。全文没有提到任何人受伤，即A。文中与两个女孩有关的原话是“另一个站在附近的人上了跑车，拉下手刹，使两个女孩免于受伤”，所以B不正确。
