问题  
M: Hello, this is "Paragliders’ Paradise". How can I help you?
W: Oh hi. [6]I’m ringing because I’m interested in doing a course in paragliding.
M: Which course are you interested in?
W: Well, I’m not sure. What’s available?
M: Well, we’ve got the introductory course which lasts for two days.
W: OK
M: Or there’s the 4-day beginners’ course which is what most people do first. I’d tend to recommend that one. And there’s also the elementary pilot course which takes five to six days depending on conditions.
W: We will probably try the beginner’s course. What sort of prices are we looking at?
M: [7]The introductory is $190; the beginner’s course, which is what you’d probably be looking at, is $320—no sorry 330—it’s just gone up, and the pilot course is $430.
W: Right.
M: And you also have to become a member of our club so that you’re insured. That’ll cost you $12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.
W: Does that cover me if I break a leg?
M: No, I’m afraid not. [8]It’s only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings, but not theft or injury. You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.
W: I see! And what’s the best way to get to your place? By public transport or could we come by bike? [9]We’re pretty keen cyclists.
M: [9]It’s difficult by public transport although there is a bus from Newcastle; most people get here by car, though, because we’re a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I’ll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What’s your name?
W: Maria Gentle.
M: And how about your address, Maria?
W: Well, [10]I’m a student staying with a family in Newcastle.
M: So it’s care of...
W: Care of Mr. and Mrs. McDonald.
M: Like the hamburgers!
W: Yes, exactly. The post office box address is probably best. It’s Post Office Box 676, Newcastle.
M: Is there a fax number there, because I could fax you the information?
W: Yes, actually, there is. It’s 0249 that’s for Newcastle and then 775431.
M: OK. Now if you decide to do one of our courses, you’ll need to book in advance and to pay when you book. How would you be paying?
W: By credit card, if that’s OK. Do you take Visa?
M: Yes, fine. We take all major credit cards, including Visa—or bank cheques but not personal cheques, I’m afraid. And cash, of course. We never say "No" to cash.
W: OK. Thank you very much for all the information.
6. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?
7. How much does the woman need to pay for the course she chooses?
8. What does the insurance most probably covers?
9. How will the woman probably get to the man’s place?
10. What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

选项 A、Her family comes from Newcastle.
B、She likes McDonald hamburgers.
C、Her fax number is 0249-775413.
D、She stays with the McDonalds.

答案 D

解析 ①男士向女士询问居住地,女士回答她住在纽卡斯尔McDonald先生和太太家里,因此选D“他与McDonald一家一起住”。②录音只提到她住在纽卡斯尔的一个家庭,并不是她自己的家庭在纽卡斯尔,A“她的家庭来自纽卡斯尔”不准确。B“她喜欢麦当劳的汉堡”利用原文hamburger做干扰,录音中男士举例说明女士的寄宿家庭的名字和卖汉堡的麦当劳一样。选项C“她的传真号码为0249—775413”中号码不正确。
