题目解答

答案

1、A2、C3、B4、C

解析

本题为听力选择题，考查学生对对话细节的理解能力。核心要点包括：

  1. 抓住关键信息：如人物职业、时间跨度、行为动机、书籍销售情况等；
  2. 辨别干扰项：需注意对话中易混淆的表述（如“lecturer”可能被误听为“travel agent”）；
  3. 逻辑推理：通过对话中的因果关系（如“被频繁问及旅行经验”导致写作动机）推断正确答案。

第（1）题

关键信息：对话中明确提到“[...] a TV host invited him to talk about his travels.”，但问题问的是“谁是托马斯的职业”，需注意问题与对话内容的对应关系。实际对话中提到托马斯是lecturer（大学讲师），而非其他选项。

第（2）题

关键信息：对话中提到“[...] they spent three years researching and writing the guide.”，直接对应选项C（Three years）。需注意时间跨度的准确性。

第（3）题

关键信息：托马斯表示“[...] people kept asking me about the best places to go, the best hotels, the best restaurants.”，说明写作动机是被频繁询问旅行经验，对应选项B。

第（4）题

关键信息：对话中提到“[...] the first edition sold only 1,500 copies, but it gradually became popular.”，说明书籍最初销售困难，对应选项C（It was very hard to be sold at first）。
