参考答案和解析
正确答案： A
解析：
事实细节的找寻和判断。录音首句便指出东芝公司正在购买nuclear plant builder Westinghouse Electric，可知其购买的是核电站建造公司Westinghouse Electric，而非选项B所提到的a nuclear power supplier（核能供应商）。因此选B。
【录音原文】
　　Japanese electronics maker Toshiba said Monday that it was buying nuclear plant builder Westinghouse Electric, the US-based unit of the British government’s British Nuclear Fuels, for US $5.4 billion.
　　Toshiba Chief Executive Atsutoshi Nishida said that while the price might seem quite high, Toshiba had a lot of competition for the company and that the future growth and profit potential of the business made it the correct price.
　　“By 2020 the market for nuclear power generation is expected to grow 50 percent compared to 2005,” Nishida said at a London news conference. “Toshiba is responding to this challenge by acquiring Westinghouse.”
　　Upon completion of the acquisition, Toshiba expects its nuclear power business to expand to three times the current level by 2015 as a result of operational and technological synergies, Toshiba said in a statement.
　　Toshiba expects to close the deal within six months and is not expecting regulatory troubles, Nishida said. Westinghouse will keep its headquarters in Pennsylvania, as well as its equipment, employees and trademarks, he said.
　　Toshiba, which makes electronic goods including DVD players, semiconductors, electric motors and power systems, is preparing for an expected surge of new investment in power plants in China, India and the US.
　　Westinghouse, which has built most of the nuclear reactors in the United States, is likely to design the plant and service them when they come online.

    C

    McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.

    D

    McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.


    正确答案： D
    解析：
    文章首段提到“Since its founding in 1948”，麦当劳成立于1948年，故A项正确；由“McDonald’s has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.”可知，麦当劳起初规模很小，而现在全球3万多个城市都有麦当劳的分店，故C、D两项正确。B项“麦当劳在全世界每个城市都有分店”过于绝对，首段只提到其在118个国家有分店。故本题选B。

    Over 30 oil workers have been kidnapped this year in the Niger Delta region.

    B

    A group calling itself the Movement for the Niger Delta People has claimed responsibility for the current reported kidnapping.

    C

    The last kidnapping occurred last week when a German oil worker was taken away.

    D

    Nigeria produces the most crude oil in Africa.


    正确答案： D
    解析：
    事实细节的找寻和判断。录音中提到“上周经过伪装的武装分子绑架了一名德国石油工人作为人质”，紧接着便指出“A group calling itself the Movement for the Niger Delta People has claimed responsibility for that kidnapping”，其中该句的that kidnapping指的就是上周对一名德国石油工人的绑架事件。由此可知，该组织并非是此次绑架了15人的实施者。因此选项B表述错误。
    【录音原文】
    　　Unidentified kidnappers snatched two Norwegian and two Ukrainian oil workers from a supply ship provisioning oil rigs in Nigeria’s petroleum-rich waters, officials said Wednesday. They were taken hostage late Tuesday from the vessel owned by a Norwegian shipping firm, Trico Supply, company spokesman Bjorn Endresen said in Norway.
    　　Nigeria confirmed the latest violence against the oil industry in Africa’s petroleum giant and said negotiators had been sent to the restive Niger Delta region where most of the crude is pumped.
    　　Endresen said there were 11 other crew members aboard the ship at the time of the kidnapping, but did not give further details. He rejected initial Norwegian media reports that a Briton was among those kidnapped. Norwegian newspaper VG also reported on its Website that the kidnappers were demanding a ransom.
    　　Foreign Ministry spokesman Frode Overland Andersen said he could not confirm the ransom demand, but said the Norwegian Embassy in Abuja was working with local authorities to get more details on the abductions.
    　　Last week, militants wearing camouflage uniforms took hostage a German oil industry worker, spiriting him away on a boat into Nigeria’s troubled oil-rich delta region. A group calling itself the Movement for the Niger Delta People has claimed responsibility for that kidnapping, but police said the group was unknown.
    　　Militants have kidnapped oil workers to bargain for a greater share of the wealth from Africa’s largest crude producer. More than 30 have been taken this year, three from the oil-producing hub of Port Harcourt. The militants argue residents remain deeply impoverished, benefiting little from oil wealth while government officials and oil companies grow rich.

    B

    The acquisition of Westinghouse Electric by Toshiba.

    C

    Toshiba’s expansion in nuclear power business.

    D

    Toshiba’s embarking on nuclear power business.


    正确答案： C
    解析：
    主旨题。该段录音的首句为主旨句，指出“星期一，日本电子产品制造商东芝公司表示其正在购买核电站建造公司Westinghouse Electric”，然后说话者给出了购买的具体细节，包括收购价格、东芝公司是如何看待购买价格的、购买原因、意义以及售后事宜等等。由此可知，选项B（东芝公司收购Westinghouse Electric公司）的描述符合录音原文主要内容。

    B

    pessimistic

    C

    cautious

    D

    unconfident


    正确答案： A
    解析：
    推理判断。题干中的关键信息为handling the transfer（处理交接事宜）。录音中相关内容为“Toshiba…is not expecting regulatory troubles”（东芝公司预计不会出现任何监管方面的麻烦），接着给出其详细稳妥的安排，指出“Westinghouse现有总部、设备、员工和商标都会保持不变”。可推断，东芝公司对于被购买公司的交接事宜还是持乐观态度的。因此选项A为正确答案。
