40、 the speed wind travels； C中的 least应改为 most， D中的 less应改为more。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 男士在问到地图上的人名时，女士解释说： “天气预报工作者给飓风取上人的名字，以便使它们容易区别开来。 ”B项中的 tell apart即对话中的identify之义，故 B正确，含有因果、目的等关系的语义突出之处常设考点。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 对话结尾处女士说， “你该打开电视，它报道最清楚。 5分钟后就会有最新报道了。 ”因此对话中的两人是准备看电视上的天气预报，选 D。四个选
