托福听力小对话【66】mow the lawn

(A) Mow the lawn.

(B) Weed the flowers.

(C) Pay $50 a month for a gardener.

(D) Work in the flowerbeds.

听力原文/参考答案/解说

-- Your yard is always so beautiful, Cathy. You must have a gardener.

-- Oh no. It would cost at least $50 a month to hire someone to do the work, so I do most of it myself. The flowers I enjoy taking care of, but I have to force myself to do the weeding and cut the grass.

Third voice: What does Cathy like to do?

参考答案：(D)

答案是依据The flowers I enjoy taking care of (倒装句)一句话所提供的信息做出推断。mow the lawn 即cut the grass 是她不乐意干的事(I have to force myself to…)。week the flowers 意思是除掉花。与taking care of flowers是截然相反的两回事。C与I do most of it myself的意思相悖。weeding: 除草。
