Rat snakes aren’t poisonous or a threat to people generally. (1)But the woman says the snake she encountered Thursday terrified her out of her wits. (2) “It was rough, with big scales，” said Swisher, who was on her way to pick up her friend at the airport when it happened. “I don’t know whether I had my hands on the steering wheel or not. I am not the most flexible person in the world, but I can guarantee my knees were up next to my ears.” She said the snake first slid back under the seat, and she hoped it would stay there until she was able to get off the high way and stop. “That didn’t work out,” she said. “Here he comes, and he wound up in my back seat before I could finally get off the road, stop and get out of the car.” She called for help. And Washington County animal control officers came and captured the snake.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.未听先知：预览两道题各选项，第1 题选项均为描述人物心理状态的形容词，因此此题考查的是人物心理。

第2 题各选项主语均为It，由选项中出现的crawled、wound up、was killed 和scales 等词可推测，It 指蛇；再结合本题选项中出现的the woman 和steering wheel 可推测，本篇新闻与某位女士遭遇蛇的经历有关，涉及女士当时的心理活动等方面内容1. How did Kelly Swisher feel when she first came across the rat snake?答案：B详解：新闻中女士提到，她在周四遇到的那条蛇把她吓得魂不附体因此答案为B2. What does the report say about the snake？答案：D详解：新闻中提到了Swisher 对食鼠蛇的描述：它身上粗糙，鳞片很大因此答案为DQuestions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3. A) A study of the fast-food service.B) Fast food customer satisfaction.C) McDonald's new business strategies.D) Competition in the fast-food industry.4. A) Customers' higher demands.B) The inefficiency of employees.C) Increased variety of products.D) The rising number of customers.原文及解析：News Report Two(3)Fast food, it turns out, isn’t quite as fast as it used to be. A new study finds that MacDonald’s posted its slowest drives-through times since this survey was first conducted fifteen years ago. As MacDonald’s, customers will spend on average three minutes and nine seconds from the time they placed their orders until they received their food. That’s about ten seconds more than the industry average--and a lot slower than a decade ago, according to the study, which was commissioned by QSR, an industry trade publication. And MacDonald’s wasn’t alone in slowing down: Other chains also saw their drive-through performance slow down. (4)Among the reasons for the slower service, today there are more choices on the menu, and the products themselves are more complex and take longer to prepare. Speed, of course, is essential to the drive-through experience. And drive-throughs are hugely important to chains, such as MacDonald’s, Burger King and Taco Bell. “Usually the drive-through accounts for sixty to seventy percent of all business that goes through a fast-food restaurant,” notes Sam Ochers, editor of QSR. Of course, consumers also want their orders prepared correctly and on that score, Ochers says, “accuracy is still really high.”Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.未听先知：预览两道题各选项，由其中反复出现的fast-food 可推测，新闻内容与快餐有关。

其中第3 题各选项均为概括性比较强的名词短语，可能考查新闻主旨；结合第4 题各选项语义可推测，此题考查出现某个问题的原因3. What is the news report mainly about？答案：A详解新闻开头就提到，事实证明快餐没有以前那么快了，接下来就讲到了得出这一结论的依据——针对快餐业的一项新研究因此答案为A4. What has slowed down MacDonald’s drive-through service？答案：C详解：新闻中提到，服务速度变慢的原因是如今菜单上的选择多了，而且商品本身更复杂，需要更多的时间去准备因此答案为CQuestions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5. A) International treaties regarding space travel programs.B) Legal issues involved in commercial space exploration.C) U.S. government's approval of private space missions.D) Competition among public and private space companies.6. A) Deliver scientific equipment。
