　　听力对话原文

　　Conversation One

　　W: Gosh! Have you seen this Richard?

　　M: Seeing what?

　　W: In the paper, it says there’s a mangoing roundpretending he’s from the electricity board. He’s been calling atpeople’s homes, saying he’s cometo check that all their appliances are safe.Then he gets around them to make him a cup of teaand while they are out of theroom, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes offwith it.

　　M: But you know Jane, it’s partly their ownfault. You should never let anyone like that in unlessyou are expecting them.

　　W: It’s all very well to say that, butsomeone comes to the door and says electricity or gas, andyou automaticallythink they are ok, especially if they flash a card to you.

　　M: Does this man have an I. D. then?

　　W: Yes, that’s just it! It seems he used towork for the electricity board at one time. Accordingto the paper, the policeare warning people, especially pensioners not to admit anyone unlessthey havean appointment. It’s a bit sad. One old lady told them she’d just been to thepostoffice to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followedher home. He stolethe whole lot.

　　M: But what does he look like? Surely theymust have a description.

　　W: Oh, yes, they have. Let’s see. In histhirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent,sounds a bit like youactually.

　　听力对话答案

　　19. 【答案】C

　　【解析】在做长对话听力前，我们通常会把该对话涉及的所有选项都浏览、分析一遍。题21的所有选项都是关于如何防止被骗或者被盗窃的措施。题22的选项A和C也提到了rob(抢劫)，stolen(盗窃)，而题19选项C又恰恰提到了thief,那我们现在可以猜测该题是关于一起盗窃案件。题19各个选项都是名词短语，所以该题很可能考查的是该对话的主要内容或者讨论的主要对象。对话一开始女士提到the paper says there’s a man going roundpretending(假装) he’s fromthe electricity board(电力局)。进入居民家中后伺机steals their money,handbag…因此女士让男士读的是一起伪装盗窃案件(indisguise)。故答案为C。

　　20. 【答案】D

　　【解析】该题各选项都是对某人行为特征的描述。既然我们已经猜测到该对话是关于一起伪装盗窃案件，那么该题很可能就是关于这个小偷的描述。对话中女士提到，小偷会flash a card to you(短暂地出示身份证)，接着男士又确认，的确出示的是身份证，故答案为D。选项A不正确，选项B，C没有明确提到。

　　21. 【答案】C

　　【解析】该题各选项都是关于预防被盗或者抢劫的措施。听音时要注意识别关键信息。对话中提到accordingto the paper, the police are warning people, especiallypensioners(领退休金或养老金的人)not toadmit anyone unless they have an appointment(预约)。故答案为C。

　　22. 【答案】C

　　【解析】选项表明，该题是关于一位女士的退休金(pension)被抢劫或者被偷的事情。听音时要注意细节的描述。对话中提到One old lady told them she’d just been to the post office to drawher pensionwhen he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stolethe whole lot (命运，运气)。故选项C最为准确。
