    What is the speaker’s attitude toward individualism?
    A

    Families and troops should not be influenced by individualism, which is very strong in our society.

    B

    D

    An individualistic society is not what we want, though it’s powerful.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    观点态度题。录音中指出“It’s so easy for the powerful force of individualism to wash over and transform institutions—like family, religion and the military—that are supposed to be based on self-sacrifice, loyalty and love”,表明个人主义势力很强大,某些社会单位,如家庭、宗教组织和军队等很容易受其冲击和发生改变。而这些组织应该建立在自我牺牲、忠诚和爱的基础上的。由此可推测,讲话者认为虽然个人主义在社会中势头强大,家庭、军队等组织也不应受其影响。因此,选项A为正确答案。
    【录音原文】
    The larger, far more important point is that in a society as individualistic as ours, it’s especially important to protect and nurture the countervailing institutions. It’s so easy for the powerful force of individualism to wash over and transform institutions—like family, religion and the military—that are supposed to be based on self-sacrifice, loyalty and love.

    解析:
    综合题。结合听力全文可知,这篇文章主要是讲汽车在美国是如何重要,文章还简单介绍了一下其发展概况,所以本题答案为Cars。
    【录音原文】
      Americans depend on their cars more than any other people. The family car has been a common thing in the early 20th century, and it has changed American life. Many people have moved outside of the large cities to the suburbs. Some Americans spend two hours a day or more in their cars going to work and back home. Cars have become the means of transportation for most Americans when they go shopping and even go on vacations. In the past, Americans liked big cars, and the gas wasn’t expensive. However, the price of gas has greatly increased in recent years. Smaller cars and foreign cars have become very popular. That’s why Japanese and German cars sell well in the US.
    Q11: When did the family car become common in America?
    Q12: Why do more Americans have to drive to work?
    Q13: Why do people like smaller cars now?
    Q14: How popular are Japanese and German cars in the U.S.?
    Q15: What does the speaker mainly talk about?
