M: Lily, can you talk about where you are from?
W: I’m from the second biggest city in Ireland which is Cork.
M: What does the Cork mean? Does it have something to do with wine?
W:(13)The name ’Cork’ doesn’t come from wine bottle cork, it comes from the Irish word ’kirkig’ which is ’marsh,’ so you can imagine how wet Cork is. We have a lot of rain.
M: Interesting! And is Cork a big city?
W:(14)It’s a sprawling city. Most of the city spreads outwards and the suburbs tend to be quite big. Most people live outside of the city and commute.
M: What are the people in Cork like?
W: Well, the men in my city speak with a very high-pitched voice. This may sound strange to you, but we think it’s a sign of manhood. And(15)girls tend to speak in a lower voice because a lower voice in Ireland usually means intelligence. And most girls want to be intelligent in Ireland.
M: That’s very interesting. You actually think that keeping down the voice is a sign of intelligence?
W: Yes. However, most people love to laugh in Cork so there is a really good sense of humor: You just walk on the streets and you hear people laughing all of the time. It’s great.
M: And what would you say is the best thing about your city?
W: The best thing is the people of course, but also the food. The entertainment is just fantastic. Every night you can go out, you can have dinner.
13. Why is the city named Cork?
14. What can we learn about Cork?
15. What does a lower voice in Ireland usually mean?
选项
A、It has a rich wine culture.
B、It looks like a cork geographically.
C、It produces a lot of corks every year.
D、It has a lot of rainy days.
答案
D
解析
原因目的题。本题问的是为什么这个城市叫做“Cork”。对话开头女士提到,“科克”这个城市名并不是来自于酒瓶的软木塞,而是来自于爱尔兰语中的“kirkig”,意思是“沼泽,湿地”。这个城市有很多雨。由此可知,这个城市被叫做Cork是因为它有很多雨天。
