W: Hi, Tim. I’m really sorry to hear about your dad. My sincerest condolences go out to you and your family. He was such a great man.
M: Thanks. As you know, he had been sick for some time before he passed away, so we were somewhat prepared.
W: So, how’s your mom taking it?
M: Oh, it’s been really hard on her. I don’t think you get over something like that.
W: Yeah, I’m sure. My heart really goes out to her. How’s your mom going to be able to manage things alone?
M: Well, financially, mom will be able to live a secure life from now on. I mean, Dad had life insurance and substantial investments in property and stocks, so returns on those should take care of her. But our main concern is her emotional state. She’s really down, so a call now and again should brighten her day.
W: So, what are the funeral arrangements?
M: Well, some of the family members will get together on Tuesday morning for a private memorial service, but there will be a viewing in the afternoon from 2:00 to 3:00, followed by the funeral service. One of my uncles will be giving the eulogy.
W: I wish there was something I could do.
M: Well, actually, there is. You know, Dad really admired you a lot, and before he died, he asked if you’d sing a musical number at the funeral.
W: Really? I’d be honored.
M: It would really mean a lot to the family.
W: Sure. Then, see you on Tuesday.
M: Okay, see you then.
5. What can we assume about the death of the man’s father?
6. How does the man’s mother feel?
7. When is the public viewing for the man’s father?
8. What does the man ask the woman to do at the funeral?

选项 A、He died in a traffic accident.
B、He fell ill and passed away unexpectedly.
C、He stayed in the hospital for a while.
D、He had a lingering illness.

答案 D

解析 根据选项中的提示词died、passed away、hospital、illness,初步猜测题目问的可能是某人生病或去世的情况。分析各选项,抓住关键点,A是交通意外去世,B是意想不到的病死,C是留院了一段时间,D是长期患病。男士说,他爸爸在去世前已经病了一段时间,故答案是D。根据男士所说的had been sick for some time,并没有说这段时间也住院,故排除C。由男士说到的prepared“有心理准备的”,可排除B。A在录音中没有提到。
