M: Today, we’ve Professor McKay on our morning talk show. Good morning, Professor McKay.
W: Good morning.
M: [1]
I’ve heard that you and your team have just completed a report on old age.
W: That’s right.
M: Could you tell me what your report is about?
W: Well, [l]/[2]
the report basically looks into the various beliefs that people hold about old age and tries to verify them.
M: And what do you think your report can achieve?
W: [2]
We hope that it will somehow help people to change their feelings about old age.
The problem is that far too many of us believe that most old people are poor, lonely, and unhappy. As a result, we tend to find old people, as a group, unattractive. And this is very dangerous for our society.
M: But surely we cannot escape the fact that many old people are lonely and many are sick.
W: No, we can’t. But we must also remember that the proportion of such people is no greater among the 60-70 age group than among the 50-60 age group.
M: In other words, there is no more mental illness, for example, among the 60s-70s than among the 50s-60s.
W: Right! And why should there be? Why should we expect people to suddenly change when they reach their 60th or 70th birthday any more than they did when they reached their 21st?
M: But one would expect there to be more physical illness among old people, surely.
W: [3]
Why should one expect this? After all, those people who reach the age of 65 or 70 are the strong among us. The weak die mainly in childhood, then in their 40s and 50s.
M: Do you find that young people these days are not as concerned about their parents as their parents were about theirs?
W: [4]
We have found nothing that suggests that family feeling is either dying or dead.
There do not appear to be large numbers of young people who are trying, for example, to have their dear old mother locked up in a mental hospital.
M: Don’t many more parents live apart from their married children then used to be the case?
W: True, but this is because parents and their married children usually live in separate households because they prefer it that way, not because the children refuse to have mum and dad living with them.
M: [5]
Is this a good thing, do you think?
W: [5]
I think that it’s an excellent arrangement.
We all like to keep part of our lives private, even from those we love dearly. I certainly don’t think that it’s a sign of the increased loneliness of old age.
1. What is Professor McKay’s report about?
2. What is the purpose of Professor McKay’s report?
3. What do we learn from the conversation about Professor McKay’s view?
4. What does Professor McKay think about family feeling?
5. What is Professor McKay’s attitude toward more parents’ living apart from their children?
选项
A、It’s about old people’s beliefs.
B、It’s about people’s various feelings towards old age.
C、It’s about old people’s unattractiveness.
D、It’s about people’s reluctance to look after the old.
答案
B
解析
根据选项中的It’s about,可以推断本题是问某事物的内容,听音时应重点关注相关信息。录音开头,男士提到,我听说您跟您的团队完成了一项关于老年人的报告。再结合后面女士(McKay教授)的解释“该报告主要是调查人们对老年人的各种观念”,B项与录音相符,故选B。A项“它是关于老年人的信仰的”是利用录音原词old people和beliefs制造的干扰,可排除。录音确实提到人们会认为老年人不太讨人喜欢(unattractive),这是该报告想要纠正的观念,并非它调研的主题,C也排除。“人们不愿意照顾老年人”在录音中并未提到,也可排除。
