 Passage Three
    This is Ray MacArthur with the news. Reports are coming in of a major train crash in Japan. (32)A passenger train carrying hundreds of workers home from the center of Tokyo is reported to have hit an oncoming goods train. Both were traveling at high speed. (33)Figures are not yet available but it is believed that the death toll could be as high as 300, with hundreds more injured. Emergency and Rescue Services rushed to the scene. But our reporter says it will take days to clear the track and to establish the numbers of the dead and injured. There was a similar accident on the same stretch of track four years ago.
    (34)There was another bomb scare in a large London store last night during late night shopping. Following a telephone call to the police from an anonymous caller, hundreds of shoppers were shepherded out of the store while roads in the area were sealed off. Police dogs spent hours searching the store for a bag which the caller claimed contained 50 pounds of explosives. Nothing was found and the store was given the all-clear by opening time this morning. A police spokesman said that this was the third bomb scare within a week and that we should all be on our guard.
    (35)And finally, the motoring organizations have issued a warning to drivers following the recent falls of snow in many parts of the country. Although the falls may be slight, they say extra care is needed.
  32．What accident happened recently in Japan?
C)。[听前猜测] 四个选项都表明本题考查的是一次交通事故的涉事双方。
[精解] 短文一开始提到，一辆载有几百名工人的客运火车与一辆迎面而来的货运火车相撞。故C)为本题答案。
33．What do the reports say about the recent accident in Japan?
D)。[听前猜测] 四个选项都与交通事故有关，并且都侧重事故造成的结果。
[精解] 短文在介绍交通事故造成的后果时提到：损失的具体数字尚不清楚，但是死亡人数可能多达300人，几百人受伤，紧急救援队迅速赶到现场。结合选项，本题答案为D)。
34．Why did people have to leave the London store last night?
A)。[听前猜测] 从内容上来看，四个选项都陈述了一件事情，在听文章时要注意哪个表达是事实，哪个不是事实。
[精解] 根据短文内容的提示，昨晚在伦敦的一个大商店里发生了一起炸弹恐吓事件，警方接到匿名者的电话后通知了商店，几百名购物者迅速撤离，但警方花了几个小时也没有找到匿名者声称装有50磅炸药的袋子。可见，购物者离开的原因是炸弹恐吓事件，故A)为本题答案。
35．What did motoring organizations advise drivers to do?
D)。[听前猜测] 四个选项均以动词短语的方式出现，可以推断出，该题很可能提问某种行为方面的问题。
[精解] 短文在提到交通事故和炸弹恐吓事件之后，在末尾提到机动车协会警告司机注意最近在很多地区下雪，虽然雪下得不大，但要注意谨慎驾驶。所以，D)为本题答案。
