问题  
M: You’re going to wear out the computer’s keyboard!
W: Oh, hi.
M: Do you have any idea what time it is?
W: About ten or ten-thirty?
M: It’s nearly midnight.
W: Really? I didn’t know it was so late.
M: Don’t you have an early class to teach tomorrow morning?
W: Yes, at seven o’clock. My commuter class, the students who go to work right after their lesson.
M: Then you ought to go to bed. What are you writing, anyway?
W: An article I hope I can sell.
M: Oh, another of your newspaper pieces? What’s this one about?
W: Do you remember the trip I took last month?
M: The one up to the Amazon?
W: Well, that’s what I’m writing about—the new highway and the changes it’s making in the Amazon valley.
M: It should be interesting.
W: It is. I guess that’s why I forgot all about the time.
M: How many articles have you sold now?
W: About a dozen so far.
M: What kind of newspapers buy them?
W: The papers that carry a lot of foreign news. They usually appear in the big Sunday editions where they need a lot of background stories to help fill up the space between the ads.
M: Is there any future in it?
W: I hope so. There’s a chance I may sell this article to a news service.
M: Then your story would be published in several papers, wouldn’t it?
W: That’s the idea. And I might even be able to do other stories on a regular basis.
M: That would be great.

15. What does the woman expect?

选项 A、Some newly discovered scenic spot.
B、Big changes in the Amazon valley.
C、A new railway under construction.
D、The beautiful Amazon rainforests.

答案B

解析 对话中男士清楚提问“你在写什么”,女士回答that’s what I’m writing about…,其后并补充说到“新建的公路以及它给亚马逊流域(Amazonvalley)带来的改变”。B项复现Amazon valley,为答案。A项的中心语scenic spot“景点”并未提及。C项利用音近词new railway混淆视听,对话中说的是new highway。D项虽有听力原词Amazon,但女士所写文章并不是描写美丽的亚马逊雨林。
