County fairs are a tradition in New England towns. They offer great entertainment. One popular event is the pie-eating contest. If you want to take part in the contest, it is a good idea to remember these guidelines: first, make sure your stomach is nearly empty of food. Eating a whole pie can be hard if you have just finished a meal. Next, it is helpful to like the pie you are going to eat. The cream types are a good choice. They slide down the throat more easily. Placing your hands in the right position adds to the chances of winning. There is a temptation to reach out and help the eating process. This will result in becoming disqualified. Don’t just sit on your hands. If your hands are tied behind your back, you will not be tempted to make use of them.
    Now you are ready to show your talent at eating pies. The object of course, is to get to the bottom of the pie plate before the other people. It is usually better to start at the outside and work toward the middle. This method gives you a goal to focus on. Try not to notice what the other people near you are doing. Let the cheers from the crowd spur you on. But do not look up. All you should think about is eating that pie.
19.Where is pie-eating contest usually held?
20. What should a person do before entering a pie-eating contest?
21. Where is the person advised to put his hands during the contest?
22. What suggestion is offered for eating up the pie quickly?

选项 A、In a fast-food restaurant.
B、At a shopping center.
C、At a county fair.
D、In a bakery.

答案 C

解析 题目询问吃馅饼比赛通常在哪里举行。关键是要听到文章开头所说:“县集市是新英格兰的传统。集市上有许多娱乐节目。吃馅饼比赛是其中很流行的一项。”故选C。本题的答案就位于文章开头,其实在听的同时,考生就应该看选项做必要的笔记了。四个选项中只有C出现在原文中,符合短文听力“听到什么选什么”的原则。
