M: Hi, Mary.
W: Hi, Thomas. What’s happening?
M: Well. I’ve decided I have to get a car.
W: You’re going to buy a car? Do you really need one? I’d probably still be driving except that my car broke down last year. Instead of getting another one, I just moved closer to the university and went back to riding a bike - better for the environment, better for my health and I save a lot of money.
M: Did it really cost that much?
W: Well, when you think of registration, insurance, rising petrol costs, parking, plus maintenance and repairs, it adds up.
M: I know it’s going to be expensive but I really need my own transport. It takes half an hour by bus each day to the university as the car does. But now I’m working at night in the city. There’s no way I want to hang around waiting for a bus late at night and then walk 3 blocks home alone.
W: Hey, I think you’ve got a point there. So what kind of car are you looking at?
M: It’s a 90 Ford. The owner is asking $2,000.
W: That’s pretty old. How many kilometers has it done?
M: Oh, I forgot to ask. I’ll have to check tonight when I go to see it. Would you be able to come with me to have a look at it? At about 7 o’clock?
W: Sure I will, but I don’t know a lot about cars. I do know one thing, though. I wouldn’t buy an old car without having a mechanic look at it first. Why not ask John to come with us since he is an expert in this field?
M: That’s a great idea.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What happened to Mary’s car last year?
24. Why does Thomas want a car?
25. What does Mary suggest Thomas do?
选项
A、He is fond of driving.
B、He has got used to driving a car to work.
C、He spends too much time on the bus.
D、He’s working at night far from home.
答案
D
解析
细节题。浏览选项可知,选项与交通工具有关,还和男士的生活方式有关。对话中,男士提到,他现在急需一辆自己的车,因为他晚上要工作,不可能在工作到很晚的时候去等公交车,然后再独自一人走三个街区回家,由此可推断,男士急需买车的原因是因为他上晚班,且离家远。故选D。
