38、Montgomery Ward started it in the late 1800s. It was really popular among farmers. It was difficult for them to make it to the big city stores so they ordered from catalogs.

Why did Richard Sears start his own business in catalog? 11. Who were the main customers of Sears and Wards business? 12. Why was the catalog used as textbooks?
42、15 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 尽管四个选项在对话中都有提及，但 A、 C、 D只是对话的一部分，只有 B可以涵盖对话中的所有内容。长对话的主旨大意题，关键是听对话 的第一个话轮 (对话双方各发言一次叫一个话轮 )。由 order， catalog两个关键词即可推出答案是 B。尽管 C中也有 catalog，但它提到 textbook，没有涵盖原文主要内容，而只是其中一个细节。 【知识模块】 长对话 16 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 对话中女士说到： “在得知 Ward赚了多少钱以后，另一个名叫Richard Sears的人也开展自己的邮购业务。 ”可见 Seam是为了赚大钱，所以选
43、C。 “转折 but处出题 ”。没有理由听不懂 “how much money Wardwas making”!profitable是 make money的同义替换。 【知识模块】 长对话 17 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 女士说： “邮购业务很受农场主欢迎 ”，并说 “农场主们信赖 Ward和 Sears”。可知该业务的主要客户是农场主。本题较简单，对话中多次提到farmers。 【知识模块】 长对话 18 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 男士很惊奇地问： “Textbooks?”，下文女士给出了解释： “是啊，学生们用邮购表中事物的名称练习拼写，用其中的价格练习加法运算。 ”所以选A。适用 “听到什么选什么 ”的原则。 spelling与 adding两个词一定会很 “夺耳 ”! 【知识模块】 长对话
