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, (1)/(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、To look into the mental health of old people.
B、To explain why people have negative views on old age.
C、To help correct some false beliefs about old age.
D、To identify the various problems of old age.
答案
C
解析
选项均为不定式,推断本题可能问计划、打算或目的,听音时应注意相关内容。录音开头提到,该报告主要是调查人们对老年人的各种观念并尝试证实这些观念的对错,接着女士解释说她们希望这会帮助人们改变对老年人的观念,C项与录音相符。D“确认老年人的各种问题”为强干扰项,录音中提到,该报告核查的主要是人们对老年人的观念(the various beliefs that people hold about old age),而非the various problems of old age,故D错误。
