M: Lost property. Can I help you?
W: Oh, yes. I’ve had my briefcase stolen.
M: OK. I’ll take some details... Tell me what it looks like, first of all.
W: Well... it’s a soft leather one, you know, not a heavy box-type like a man’s.
M: Mmm... and how does it close?
W: It’s got buckles at the front... two of them. They’re gold-plated ones.
M: Fine. Was it locked?
W: No, I’m afraid not.
M: Never mind. Any distinguishing features?
W: Pardon?
M: Any marks or badges on it that make it stand out?
W: [6]Only the brand name.
M: And where’s that?
W: [6]It’s on the back... at the bottom in the left-hand corner. It’s Sagi. Oh, and there’s a scratch. It’s quite bad but small, directly above the brand name. I did it recently putting it on my bike.
M: Right, got that. So, what did you have inside the briefcase?
W: [7]Well... all my papers from college. It’s so frustrating, but thank goodness for computers, I haven’t lost them completely!
M: Yes, you’re lucky.
W: I had my wallet in my pocket so I didn’t lose that. [7]But there were also my pens which I got for my birthday and a novel I was planning to read on the train.
M: Right. Where exactly did you lose the briefcase?
W: Well, I couldn’t believe it. [8]I was standing on the platform. It was right next to me.
M: You were holding it?
W: I’d just put it down on the floor but I could almost feel it beside me. I was watching for my train because sometimes it comes early and then next time I looked, my briefcase wasn’t there.
M: And what time was this?
W: Ah... it must have been about 5:20... no, a bit later. I’d say 5:30 because it was just getting crowded [9]and the train normally comes at about twenty-five to six.
M: Right, if you’ll just give me some personal details... What’s your name?
W: I’m Mary Prescott.
M: And your address?
W: Flat 2, 41, Fountain Road, Canterbury.
M: And have you got a contact telephone number?
W: Yes, it’s 752239.
M: Fine. One last question—what would you say the value of your briefcase is?
W: Including the contents?
M: Yes, just a rough estimate is fine.
W: I’m not sure. Well, the briefcase itself is quite new; I bought it last month for $40. I suppose about $65. The contents are worth about 20 or 25 dollars at least.
M: That’s fine. [10]Well, if you could come down to the train station tomorrow, you can sign this form and have a look at what we’ve got.
W: OK, thanks.
6. What is the distinguishing feature of the briefcase?
7. What does the woman have inside the briefcase?
8. Where does the woman lose the briefcase?
9. What time does the train usually come according to the woman?
10. What will the woman most probably do the next day?

选项 A、It is a heavy box-type.
B、There is a big scratch at the front.
C、The colour is golden.
D、Its brand name is on the back.

答案 D

解析 ①选项描述的是某个东西的特征,可以在听音时判断各个描述是否有误。②警察问女士公文包有什么显著特征(any distinguishing features),女士没听明白,警察解释说有没有标记之类的,女士回答了Only the brand name和on the back.因此D项“背面有商标名”是公文包的显著特征。③A项heavy box-type与女士说的not a heavy box-type like a man’s相反。B项中scratch“划痕”应该是small,而且在背面(on the back)。原文只提到buckles“扣子”是gold-plated“镀金的”,但并没有提到整个包的颜色是金色,故C项不对。
