标准听力(四)—标准听力(六)(13)

题考查方式方法。短文后面提到, Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom（Jeb开始大声叫喊，同时用?头打美洲豹，将豹的注意力从Tom身上引开），故答案为[A]。
【点睛】问题中的try to hold the cougar’s attention是对对话中to keep the cougar’s attention away的同义转述。
29. Which of the following happened first?
【解析】选[A]。短文中提到，Jeb将Tom十字交叉抱着后Tom挣脱父亲跑掉，Tom跑掉之后，美洲豹从岩石上跳下来，最后Tom给父亲拿来一把刀，故答案为[A]。
【点睛】听清问题中的happened first是解题的关键。
Passage Two
【听前预测】预览三道题各选项，由选项中的her mother/grandmother，family，quilts等可知，短文与说话者的家庭生活有关，涉及到被子的情况。

I arrived at my mother’s home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. My mother was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What is this?” I asked.
“Oh?” Mom said, “That’s Mama’s quilt.”
I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together: irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.
“Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made.
“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” she said. “I’m still working on it. See, this is what I’ve done so far.”
I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. In the center of the quilt, she had stitched(缝) a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”
“Oh, this is so nice, Mom,” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. Why did the speaker go to mother’s home?
【解析】选[D]。选项均以不定式开头表明，本题可能考查行为目的。短文开头就提到I arrived at my mother’s home for our Monday famil
y dinner，即说话者去母亲家是为了周一的家庭聚餐，故答案为[D]。
【点睛】[D]中的family dinner是对短文中family dinner的信息再现，for表目的。


31. Why was the speaker surprised?
【解析】选[A]。短文
