Question

【题目】 It's a school holiday today. It's warm and the sun is shining. It's the perfect day for an outing. Zack, Vera, Kelly and Tim are discussing what they are going to do. Let's listen and see what happens...

Zack: Hey you guys, it would be a shame to stay inside on a day like this. How about taking the bus to Stanley and going to the beach?

Tim: [excitedly] That sounds great.

Kelly: I'm in! But can we go to the mall first so I can get some suntan oil?

Zack: [hesitantly(犹豫地)] Well, Kelly, I suppose we've got time...

Vera: And we can stop off in Tsim Sha Tsui and get something to eat first. I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to get anything good once we get there.

Zack: I don't know, Vera —it's already eleven o'clock..

Tim: Actually, why don't we have a look at Stanley, Market before we go to the beach? The bus stops right in front of the market. I want to look for some casual shirts and trousers.

Kelly: Oh, yes, Tim, let's do that. Maybe they have some trendy swim suits, and some jewellery...

Zack: [to himself] This is really awful! [to the others] Look, I don't want to go to a restaurant or go shopping—I just want to go to the beach on a nice day. You all said you'd go with me, but if you don't want to, you don't have to. See you later.

[sound of a door opening and closing ]

Vera: Somebody's not glad!

Tim: Well, it was his idea to go out, after all.

Kelly: Oh, dear, poor Zack. I'm going to call him.

[on the telephone] Hi, Zack? Look, just wait at the bus stop for me. I'm coming now. I won't go to the mall.

Tim: Tell him I'm coming too. We don't need to stop at the market.

Vera:[sighs(吸气)] Oh, all right. I can risk having lunch at the beach, I guess.

Kelly:[on the telephone] Zack? We're all coming now. We should all enjoy this great day together.

[to the rest] OK, let's go. We shouldn't keep Zack waiting.

Tim:[hurriedly] OK, come on, everybody...[fade]

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】D

【4】D

【解析】

文章大意：今天学校放假。天气暖和，阳光灿烂，是郊游的好天气。Zack, Vera, Kelly和Tim他们打算去斯坦利海滩游玩，本文是他们正在讨论的对话内容。

【1】

词句猜测题。根据下文But can we go to the mall first so I can get some suntan oil? 但是我们能不能先去购物中心，我去买些防晒油?可知Kelly是同意Zack的提议，想“参加”去海滩的旅行，因此“I'm in!”应是“参加”的意思，故答案选Ａ。

【2】

推理判断题。根据第九和第十行Vera说的话：And we can stop off in Tsim Sha Tsui and get something to eat first. I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to get anything good once we get there. Vera认为在去沙滩之前先吃点东西，因为到那里就买不到什么好东西了。由此可以推知Vera认为斯坦利海滩的食物不太好，故答案选Ｂ。

【3】

词义猜测题。根据上文Zack所说的话[to himself] This is really awful! [to the others] Look, I don't want to go to a restaurant or go shopping—I just want to go to the beach on a nice day. You all said you'd go with me, but if you don't want to, you don't have to. See you later. (自言自语)这太可怕了!(对其他人)看，我不想去餐馆或购物，我只想在天气好的时候去海滩。你们都说要和我一起去，但如果你们不想去，就不必去。再见。[sound of a door opening and closing ] 开门和关门的声音。结合本句Vera: Somebody's not glad! Vera说“某人不高兴了!”由此可知这里的“somebody”指的是Zack，故答案选Ｄ。

标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了Zack, Vera, Kelly和Tim他们打算去斯坦利海滩游玩，一开始他们有的人想去先买一些防晒油，有的人想在去海滩之前先吃一些东西，有的人想买一些休闲的衬衫和裤子……，但最终因Zack他们都改变了自己的主意，决定一切从简，去斯坦利海滩享受这个美好的日子。结合选项A. How to Make Decisions如何做决定；B. Let's Plan a Trip! 让我们计划一次旅行吧!C. Stop for a While停一停；D. Keep It Simple! 保持简单!可知Ｄ选项可以概括全文，故答案选Ｄ。
