【原文重現】

　　W: ... what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city?

　　M: Well, since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this war-torn country.

　　25. What is the pressing concern of the citizens of Karnack?

　　【答案解析】

　　選[C]。細節題。四個選項中只有[C]項內容在對話中出現，其他三項均未涉及到，故只要抓住對話中starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter或其部分內容，即可判斷答案為[C]。starvation意為"饑餓"。

　　五、留意數字、人名、地名、時間、年代等相關信息

　　遇到數字、人名、地名、時間、年代時要對相關信息做簡要記錄，尤其是選項中出現類似的概念時，在聽音時更應重點留意。

　　【例5】(四六級考試委員會樣題-24題)

　　[A] Late in the morning.

　　[B] Early in the afternoon.

　　[C] Sometime before dawn.

　　[D] Shortly after sunrise.

　　【原文重現】

　　M: ... Rebel forces are closing in, and it's feared tha they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where, it is believed, many government officials are holding out.

　　24. At what time of day do you think this news report is being made?

　　【答案解析】

　　選[C]。細節題。根據原文中...it's feared that they will ...before daybreak.可知，當時報道的時間應該是在before daybreak(黎明破曉前)。dawn相當于daybreak。
