W: You were lucky then, weren’t you, Bill?
M: Out of luck, you mean! I’d be very pleased if my old car were smashed to bits. I could claim from the insurance company then, couldn’t I?
W: But you used to be so proud of your car, didn’t you?
M: I used to be years ago, but now there are all sorts of repairs to be done, and I just haven’t got enough spare cash to put it right.
W: You can always sell it, can’t you?
M: Few people are stupid enough to buy a car in that state, are they?
W: The man whose car was crushed yesterday was very annoyed about it. He’ll be given a new car by the builders, though.
M: Yes, but his car was a specially built model that can’t be replaced, and there was hardly anything wrong with it, was there?
W: Well, that’s life! When people actually want to get rid of their cars, this sort of thing seldom happens, does it?
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What happened in South Street yesterday?
【解析】選[B]。分析選項(xiàng)，[B]、[C]、[D] 都是對(duì)事故的具體描述，[A]表述過于籠統(tǒng)，與其他選項(xiàng)明顯不同，可初步排除。對(duì)話一開始男士就提到a great piece of concrete falling onto a car，因此[B]正確。而女士對(duì)此的反應(yīng)是...or he’d have been killed, 虛擬語(yǔ)氣的使用表明the driver was not killed，由此可以排除[D]。該事故與車禍無(wú)關(guān)，因此[C]錯(cuò)誤。
20. Why does Bill consider himself unlucky in yesterday’s incident?
【解析】選[D]。[A]、[C]都把對(duì)話中的男士當(dāng)成了事故中的受害者，不符合對(duì)話內(nèi)容。對(duì)話中男士對(duì)自己的車幸免于難的感受是：Out of luck;并隨即說(shuō)明了理由：I’d be very pleased if my old car were smashed to bits. I could claim from the insurance company then...,由此可知，男士的舊車上過保險(xiǎn)，因此他認(rèn)為自己錯(cuò)過了一個(gè)既能擺脫負(fù)擔(dān)，又能獲得賠償?shù)暮脵C(jī)會(huì)，[D]符合題意。
21. According to Bill, how did the owner feel when he knew his car was crushed?
【解析】選[A]。本題涉及到對(duì)此事故的感受。聽音時(shí)注意聽清問題問的是車主的感受，而不是說(shuō)話者的感受。由對(duì)話中男士說(shuō)的“The man whose car was crushed yesterday was very annoyed about it.”不難得出答案為[A]。
