听力原文

        (2) [An 81-year-old man ended up in Germany by accident after trying to get from Newcastle, Great Britain, to Rome, Italy.] 

        (1) [The old age pensioner was on a mission to see the Pope,] who is head of the Catholic Church, and decided to make his way there by car. He was surprised when his GPS system told him he had arrived, although there were no signs of any of the famous buildings or architecture.

        The man parked but didn’t put on the handbrake of his car properly. His car rolled backwards, and in a striking display of irony, hit a sign saying “Rom”—the small town in North Germany he had mistakenly plugged into the GPS system.

        Police said that the car had come to a halt after hitting the sign, but did not appear to be seriously damaged, although an ambulance was called to check on the pensioner. The man, who lives in the UK and is originally Italian, might have been confused by the fact that Rome is written “Roma” in Italian and “Rom” in German.

1. What did the old age pensioner plan to do? （这位退休老人打算做什么？）

解析：A。录音中提到，这位退休的老人奉命去拜见天主教教皇。A项See the Pope为原词复现，故A项正确。

错项排除：录音中提到，老人想要从英国纽卡斯尔前往意大利罗马，因此纽卡斯尔是出发地而不是目的地，B项错误。老人的目的地是意大利罗马而不是德国，去意大利的目的是见教皇而非旅行，故排除C和D两项。
