輕松聽(tīng)新聞 Listening
A woman in the Canadian province of Ontario has gone to court to regain custody of her monkey after the animal was found on its own at an IKEA furniture store. Lee Carter has more.
Millions of people have viewed the video of Darwin, the young Japanese macaque running loose shortly after he apparently escaped from a locked vehicle in an IKEA car park. After being seized by city of Toronto animal control officials, he was moved to a primate sanctuary where he is reported to be settling in. It is illegal to have this kind of exotic pet in Toronto. But in
court today the former owner Yasmin Nakhuda argued that the seizure was not legal because she claimed she was made to hand over ownership of the monkey under threats of criminal prosecution.

聽(tīng)力點(diǎn)撥與解析
Part A
1. province 2. regain 3. custody 4. furniture 5. reported
Part B
1. 該題目是考查對(duì)詞形相近的單詞的掌握。A項(xiàng)apparent“明顯的”,形容詞,而B(niǎo)項(xiàng)是“明顯地”,副詞,C項(xiàng)appear“看起來(lái)好像”,動(dòng)詞,D項(xiàng)appeal“呼吁,上訴”,動(dòng)詞。然后我們可以看到題干中的已給信息是“他從宜家停車(chē)場(chǎng)內(nèi)一輛鎖著的車(chē)?yán)锾优艹鰜?lái)”,空格在主語(yǔ)He和謂語(yǔ)escaped 之間,所以應(yīng)該填副詞,B項(xiàng)
apparently填入后符合邏輯,所以B為正確答案。
2. 該題目考查對(duì)題干信息的理解,在分析整句結(jié)構(gòu)的同時(shí),我們重點(diǎn)把握空格后面的詞“pet” ( 寵物),答案應(yīng)該是一個(gè)可以修飾pet的形容詞,在多倫多不能擁有什么寵物呢?根據(jù)全文的內(nèi)容我們知道這則新聞是圍繞一只來(lái)自日本的小獼猴的,所以從意思我們可以判斷答案為B項(xiàng),exotic“外國(guó)的,異國(guó)情調(diào)的”。A項(xiàng)exit“出口”,C項(xiàng)expect“期待”,D項(xiàng)excited“興奮的”。
3. 該題目考查對(duì)hand 有關(guān)詞組的掌握。根據(jù)題干“she was made to hand ownership of the monkey...” 意思應(yīng)該為“她被迫交出猴子的所有權(quán)”。而各個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別為:A項(xiàng)hand in“遞交”,B
項(xiàng) hand on“把……傳下去”,C項(xiàng) hand out“分發(fā),散發(fā)”, D項(xiàng)hand over“移交,交出”,所以正確答案為D。
