解析:
19.B事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。答案以問答形式出現(xiàn)。對話開頭提到了兩個Hall,接下來就其中之一food hall提問。女士問What is special about the food hall? 男士回答說It sells many different kinds of food.由此可知食品廳出售的食物種類繁多,答案為B“種類繁多的食物”。
20.A事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。注意答案以問答形式出現(xiàn)。對話開頭提到了兩個Hall,在對其中之一food hall介紹完后,緊接著介紹另一個Egyptian Hall并做出提問。男士提到It looks like an Egyptian building from 4,000 years ago.由此可知埃及廳看起來像有著四千年歷史的埃及建筑,答案為A“一座古老的建筑”。注意ancient是對4,000 years ago的同義替換。
21.D事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。通過選項(xiàng)可推測該題很可能與電有關(guān)。女士問Is it true that Harrods produces its own electricity? 男士回答說Yes,it does,70%,enough for a small town.由此可知哈羅茲用電的70%是自己制造的,答案為D,其中,generates是produces的同義替換。
22.B事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。四個選項(xiàng)均為數(shù)字,需要留神聽到的相關(guān)數(shù)字并做好筆記,之后結(jié)合提問作答。男士提到About 30,000 people come on an average day.由此可知平均每天有3萬人光顧哈羅茲,答案為B。這道題的難點(diǎn)在于辨別聽力原文中出現(xiàn)的若干數(shù)字。
