问题 Choose the correct letter, A, B or C.
Grace’s Creek Activity Camp
One disadvantage of this location is
Emm... there are a few facilities which were in the original plans, but haven’t so far made it into the final design phase. We do have one building next to the dormitory, which we’re a bit unsure how to proceed with.
The favourite suggestion is a gym and pool, though frankly that’s a bit optimistic, given the cost of those facilities. The most likely outcome will be some kind of food outlet, because that could contribute towards the overall running, costs, with another option being a conference room.
The facility will, of course, be partly funded by visits from the general public during school terms, and we’ve already had some interest from companies who could use it for corporate events and retreats. That will contribute a lot to the upkeep and development because council funding won’t cover everything, though it does cover the bulk of the ongoing expenses.
Well, the site might seem a little far from most of the schools in the Council area, but I should just mention that one of the attractions of this location was the easy road access and proximity to transports hubs. But not only that, the nearby Parkdale forest has some excellent walking tracks and mountain biking trails. If there’s a drawback, I’d say it’s the lack of grocery stores within walking distance. It’s going to be a great addition to the facilities available to everyone in the area, and it’s the end result of a long consultation process with schools and the public.
Now, we haven’t been able to do everything that we’re wanted, not particularly because of budget constraints, but more because of the extent to which we were limited by the existing structures from previous commercial use, but we have listened to both the parents and the students who are going to use the facility.
Now, I’m sure you’ll have a lot of questions, so let’s take a short break, and when we come back we can open up the meeting for discussion.

选项 A、the nearest shops are too far away.
B、the site is difficult to get to by public transport.
C、too many schools will wish to use it.

答案A

解析 定位句是“If there’s a drawback,I’d say it’s the lack of grocery stores within walking distance.”。本题首先要注意题干中的定位词disadvantage在听力原文中被替换成了其最为常见的替换词drawback,这点考生在识别时需要非常熟练。此外,本题的难点在于对定位句的语义内容理解,定位句中说“如果说还有不足的话,那就是附近没有什么购物的地方”,故可知正确答案为A选项。选项B与听力原文中“the easy road access and proximity to transports hubs”相矛盾,故排除;选项C虽然提及schools但未提及too many与wish to use it,也可排除。
