Questions I to 3 are based on the following conversation.
W: Hey, taxi! Ah, great. Thanks for pulling over.
M: Where to?
W: Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art. How long does it take to get there?
M: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average driver. AndI'm not average, so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than twelve minutes.
W: Okay. Uh, sorry for asking, but do you have any idea how much the fare will be?
M: Oh, it shouldn't be more than 18 dollars...not including a...uh-hum...a tip of course.
W: Oh, well.
M: Uh, this is your first time to the city, right?
W: Yeah. How did you know?
M: [1]Well，you can tell tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straightup at the skyscrapers.
W: Was it that obvious?
M: Well...
W: Oh, before I forget, [ 2 ] can yourecommend goodrestaurants downtown that offer meals at areasonableprice?
M: Umm...Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the decor is very authentic, and the portions are larger than most places I've been to.
W: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum?
M: [31] Well, you can catch the subway right outside the museum. It's the best choice. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often.
W: Okay. Thanks.
【听前预测】
根据题干中出现的the driver，the woman looking for，the restaurant可以推断对话发生在司机与一名女乘客之间，而且两人谈及了与餐馆有关的话题。
【对话摘要】
对话发生在男司机与女乘客之间。女士想要去博物馆，于是坐上了一辆出租车，司机从之前女士在大街上走时一直抬头看摩天大楼的行为判断出女士是第一次来到这个城市。在去博物馆的途中，女士向男士询问价格比较合理的餐馆以及如何从博物馆去餐馆等情况。
【试题解析】
D。本题出题点在因果关系处(because…)。对话中男司机说在这个城市里，远远地就能辨别出一个人是游客，因为游客们走在街上时，总是仰头看摩天大楼，他看到女士也是这样，所以判断女士是第一次来到这个城市，故选D。
