16、Question 16 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A Carry out a thorough checkup.
B Try to keep the gas tank full.
C Keep extra gas in reserve.
D Fill up the water tank.
答案解析：
Good transportation is very important in winter. (16) If you have a car, make sure it is ready for the cold weather. Keep the gas tank as nearly full as you can. This will keep water out of the tank and will be a reserve in case you get into trouble. (17) If a storm traps you in your car, there are some steps you should take for your own safety. Do not tend to walk to find help. You may quickly lose your way in blowing and drifting snow. Your chances of being found are better if you stay in your car. Keep a downwind window open slightly for fresh air. Freezing rain can seal off your car and lock you inside. Run the engine and heater once in a while. Keep the same downwind window open while the engine is running. Make sure that snow has not blocked the exhaust pipe. Clap your hands and move your arms and legs from time to time. Do not stay in one position too long. But, do not move too much. (18) Exercise warms you up, but it also causes you to lose body heat. If more than one person is in the car, do not sleep at the same time. One person should always be awake. If you are alone, stay awake as long as you can. Turn on the inside light at night. This would make your car more visible to rescue crews. Don’t panic. Stay with your car.

解析：根据文章可知，讲话人说，冬天时要让汽车的油箱尽量装满油。gas tank意为“油箱”。因此本题正确答案为B项。

19、Question 19 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A They are very generous in giving gifts.
B They refuse gifts when doing business.
C They regard gifts as a token of friendship.
D They give gifts only on special occasions.
答案解析：
The topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may think that gift-giving is a universal custom. But actually the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot. And not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. (19) In North America, the rules are fairly simple. If you're invited to someone's home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your country. Among friends, family and business associates, we generally don't give gifts on other occasions except on someone's birthday and Christmas. (20) The Japanese, on the other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for everything from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don't generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some formal customs when visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning. Today we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples, but let's not miss the main point here. If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. (21) Whether we learn about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.
(19). What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?
解析：根据文章可知，在北美，一般只在生日和圣诞节才会给朋友、家人、商业伙伴送礼物。因此D项（他们只在特殊的场合赠送礼物）符合题意。
