W: Excuse me, I’ve been using this old book for a research project and I notice that a lot of pages are turning brown and becoming brittle.
M: Yes. Unfortunately, that’s a common problem with books made from wood pulp.
W: I suppose that to make paper from wood you have to add a lot of chemicals and acids to make it turn white.
M: Exactly, and it’s the acid that eventually eats away the paper:
W: Oh, that actually makes sense, but this book’s not even 75 years old and I’ve seen books in museum that are hundreds of years old and they’re in free condition.
M: Well, you see, books have been made from wood pulp only since the 1850s, before that they were made from materials mostly animals’ skins, and no chemicals were added.
W: It’s a shame those older wood pulp books are going to fall apart some day. Is there anything that can be done to preserve them?
M: Eh, currently the only way to stop the books from decaying is to remove the binding and treat each page individually to remove the acid.
W: That doesn’t sound very economical.
M: No, it isn’t. It’s not practical to treat a large number of books with this process, so we only try to rescue the most valuable edition books in our collection.
W: Well, thanks for the explanation. I’d better get back to my project.
M: Good luck and I hope the old book will hold long enough for you to finish it.
选项
A、Get some books for the man to look at.
B、Ask the man to look over her notes.
C、Continue her research in the library.
D、Find more information on how books are preserved.
答案
C
解析
[听力原文]
What will the woman probably do next?
同义替换题。女士最后说的get back to my project与选项中continue her research同义,所以C正确。 suppose意为“猜想”,尤指建立在不确定或推测性根据上的猜想,如:Scientists supposed that large dinosaurs lived in swamps.科学家们猜想大型恐龙栖居于沼泽地中。还可指“应该,允许”,如:We are not supposed to play football on Sundays.我们不应该在星期日踢足球。
make sense指“有意义,意思清楚,有道理”,如:What you say makes no sense.你的话没有道理。其他与 sense相关的短语还有:make sense of sth.理解或弄清某事物;see sense明白事理,如:I hope she soon sees sense and stops fighting a battle she cannot win.我希望她能尽快明白过来,不要再打这场赢不了的仗了。
