Passage Three

[32/33]A South African businessman is refusing to leave Croatia until he finds a girl who he saw across a crowded bar. Keith Van Der Spuy has never even spoken to the girl but says she was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. He has cancelled his flight home and taken out advertisements in local newspapers in the port town of Split. [33]Mr. Van Der Spuy says he was having a drink in the bar when he saw the pretty girl smile at him across the bar. While he was trying to look at her closely she disappeared. But he's convinced she was a local because he heard her calling to a female friend shortly before he lost sight of her.Van Der Spuy, who is also the head of the South African water-polo association, said he could not get her out of his mind and when he got to the airport, then he realized he could not board the plane. He has already extended his holiday for four months, and says he is prepared to stay in Split for as long as it takes. "I will not leave this place for years if I have to. [34]When I saw her and she looked at me I knew she was the one. There was pure chemistry between us. I can't get her out of my head. I just want to meet her and see her long dark hair and beautiful smile again. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." [35]"If she is married or is not interested I can accept it-but I have to know. I have to see her one more time, and I have even bought a diamond ring for her."

答案解析：

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

32. How long has the man decided to stay in Split?

[C]解析：短文开头就说：“一位南非商人要在找到一位他在一个拥挤的酒吧里见过一面的女郎之后，才会同意离开克罗地亚。”本句时态的变化以及until的用法都值得注意，否则可能不易理解。C正确。显然本题问（一段）时间。这种细节题，“听到什么选什么”。

33. Where was the man when he saw the pretty girl?

[A]解析：由上一题解析可知，这位南非商人是在一个拥挤的酒吧里与他的梦中人相见的，A正确。下文还提到：“他说当时他正在酒吧里喝酒，这时他看到酒吧对面有位漂亮女孩向他微笑。”也表明A正确。

34. What do we know from the passage?

[A]解析：短文中多处表明，男士对酒吧中邂逅的女郎一见钟情。短文还引述男士的话说：“我看着她而她望着我时，我知道就是她了。我们之间就是有缘。”英语chemistry在口语中常用来指异性之间的那种相互吸引。A正确。由于全文都在说该神秘的女郎至今尚未露面，关于她的情况现在一无所知，B、C、D均谈到“她”如何如何，全无依据。

35. What will the man do if the woman is not interested in him?

[B]解析：短文引述男士的话说：“要是她已婚，或她对我没有兴趣，我可以接受——但我得知道她的意思。”言下之意是，尽管该男士很爱她，但他不会强迫她，而是会接受现实。选项都是说“他”将采取什么行动。在听懂关键词的基础上，听取相关信息，应能准确得到答案。
