六级标准听力测试模拟一Section A答案解析(3)

　　Conversation One

　　M: Excuse me. Are you going to buy concert tickets?

　　W: Yes, I am. So are all these people in front of me.

　　M: Have you been here long?

　　W: About 45 minutes. I’ve moved forward a total of about 3 feet in that time.

　　M: You are kidding.

　　W: Not at all. There was a couple up ahead of me who got so disgusted and they finally gave up and left. They said they’d been waiting for more than an hour.

　　M: Terrific. Does anyone know what’s causing the delay?

　　W: If so, no one has let us know. It could be that there aren’t enough people selling tickets this afternoon. Or maybe their computer is down. I’m sure the concert hasn’t been cancelled.

　　M: I just hope they don’t run out of tickets before I get up there.

　　W: That really would be annoying, wouldn’t it?

　　M: I guess I should have come before lunch. Or has it been like this all day?

　　W: Apparently it has. In fact, before I came I tried calling to charge my tickets over the phone, just to avoid this long wait. But they are not taking phone orders, or checks, or credit cards. It’s cash or nothing, and you have to come in person.

　　M: Well, there are two more hours before the tickets office closes. Tickets for a good concert are worth waiting for. So I think I’ll just make myself comfortable.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　19. What do we learn about the woman’s opinion about what’s happening?

　　【解析】选[D]。选项表明本题很可能考查女士对purchase的看法，[C]与此关系不大，很可能不是答案，故可初步排除。从对话中的buy concert tickets和all these people in front of me可以判断女士是在排队买票。女士说自己等了45 minutes，之后又补充说a couple ... finally gave up and left，这些都说明她为了买到tickets而情愿等候。选项[D] ...resigned to the situation“顺从了这种情形”符合题干要求及对话中所描述的事实。

　　20. How are people expected to purchase their tickets?

　　【解析】选[C]。预览选项可知此题考查的是付款方式。女士最后说，they are not taking phone orders, or checks, or credit cards. It’s cash or nothing, ...。这就说明付款时除了cash“现金”，其他方式都不行，因此选[C]。选项[B]中的charge ...to one’s account意为“把…记在某人账上，赊购”。
