2009年四级短文听力攻略：命题特点与应试技巧

　　答案&解析

　　26. D)。细节题。答案是由副词短语"in any case"引出的。录音中我们可以听到这句话"In any case, they all adopt children for the same reason-they care about children and want to give their adopted child a happy life."在听录音时只要我们留心"in any case"后面的内容就可找到正确答案。

　　27. C)。细节题。答案是由副词短语"as a matter of fact"引出的。录音中我们可以听到"As a matter of fact, it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed. The information is secret so no one can see it."在听短文录音时我们只要留心副词短语"as a matter of fact"后面的信息就可以找到正确答案。

　　28. B)。细节题。在短文录音里面我们可以听到这样的信息"The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one to make. Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents."这里只提到了被收养的孩子很难下决心寻找他们生父母的原因是由于对他们的"复杂的感情",并没有说是什么感情,因此选B)。

　　29. A)。推断题。录音中至少有两处可作为推断的依据:

　　一处是"In any case, they all adopt children for the same reason-they care about children and want to give their adopted child a happy life.";

　　另一处是"Even though adoptees do not know about their natural parents, they do know that their adopted parents want them, love them and will care for them."。
