新编四级听力练习 第373期

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。
