　　 M:是的,在一月份促销的第一天。

　　 W:哈罗兹百货公司称它将向世界各地的人出售各种东西。这是真的么?

　　 M:是的,当然!绝对是各种东西!

　　 解析:

　　 19.B事实细节题。答案以问答形式出现。对话开头提到了两个Hall,接下来就其中之一food hall提问。女士问What is special about the food hall? 男士回答说It sells many different kinds of food.由此可知食品厅出售的食物种类繁多,答案为B“种类繁多的食物”。

　　 20.A事实细节题。注意答案以问答形式出现。对话开头提到了两个Hall,在对其中之一food hall介绍完后,紧接着介绍另一个Egyptian Hall并做出提问。男士提到It looks like an Egyptian building from 4,000 years ago.由此可知埃及厅看起来像有着四千年历史的埃及建筑,答案为A“一座古老的建筑”。注意ancient是对4,000 years ago的同义替换。

　　 21.D事实细节题。通过选项可推测该题很可能与电有关。女士问Is it true that Harrods produces its own electricity? 男士回答说Yes,it does,70%,enough for a small town.由此可知哈罗兹用电的70%是自己制造的,答案为D,其中,generates是produces的同义替换。

　　 22.B事实细节题。四个选项均为数字,需要留神听到的相关数字并做好笔记,之后结合提问作答。男士提到About 30,000 people come on an average day.由此可知平均每天有3万人光顾哈罗兹,答案为B。这道题的难点在于辨别听力原文中出现的若干数字。
