19、Question 19 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A Taking up exercises after recovery.
B Producing tasty healthy frozen food.
C Finding new ways to cure heart disease.
D Going on a diet upon leaving the hospital.
答案解析：
According to Charles Happer, Chairman of CanAgra, the Healthy Choice line of frozen dinners, began with his own heart attack. It’s been brought on by years of eating anything he could get his hands on. (19) As he’s lying in hospital, recovering, Happer imagined a line of healthy frozen foods, the Tasty Good. (20) The Healthy Choice product line was carefully tested with consumers before being introduced to the general public. CanAgra’s research and development staff spent a year working under the instruction—“Whatever the cost, don’t sacrifice taste”. The first test market results surprised even the CanAgra team: the low sodium low fat frozen dinners sold much better than expected. According to the firm’s vice president of marketing and sales, (21) we benefited from low expectations. The products were much better than people thought they would be. This finding supported CanAgra’s decision to position a product against other high quality frozen dinners, rather than as a diet or health food. The new product’s brand’s name and packaging were an important part of the development process. (22)The name Healthy Choice was chosen for the positive implication it held for consumers. Because CanAgra felt the product would be an impulse purchase, it was important to make the item stand out in a freezer case. This was accomplished through the dark green packaging that not only differed from the competitors, but also suggested freshness and richness in vitamins.
(19). What did Charles Happer think of while he was in hospital?

In other words, is it right for convict murderers who kill when they are minors, that is under the age of 18, to receive the death penalty. In most other countries of the world, there is no capital punishment for minors. In the United States, though, each state makes its own decision. Of the 36 states that allowed the death penalty, 30 permit the execution of minors. In the state of South Carolina, a convicted murderer was given the death penalty for a crime he committed while he was a minor. In 1977, when he was 17 years old, James Terry Roach and two friends cruelly murdered three people. Roach’s lawyer fought the decision to execute him. The young murder remained on death roll fourteen years while his lawyer appeal to the governor. The lawyer argued that it’s wrong to execute a person for a crime he committed while he was a minor. In the United Sates, the governor of a state has the power to change a sentence from the death penalty to life in prison. (25) Nonetheless, the governor of South Carolina refused to stop the execution. Roach was finally executed in 1986.

(25). What does the speaker say about James Terry Roach?
解析：关于JTR，他和两个朋友杀了三人之后被判处死刑，缓期14年执行，他的律师希望通过上诉可以帮他改判，结果并未成功，后来还是被处以死刑。其中并未提及他是否为该州的第一个被处死刑的未成年人。由此推理，答案应该选D。
