Passage One
听力原文
Whether it’s in the hands of animated polar bears or Santa Claus, (9) [there’s one thing you’ll find in nearly all ads for Coca-Cola: the characteristic glass bottle.]
Most Americans don’t drink soda out of the glass bottles seen in Coke’s ads anymore. But this week, the company is celebrating a century of the bottle that’s been sold in more than 200 countries.
Flash back to 1915, when a bottle of Coca-Cola cost just a nickel. (10) [As the soft drink gained in popularity, it faced a growing number of competitors—counterfeits, even trying to copy Coke’s logo. So according to Coca-Cola historian Ted Ryan, the company decided to come up with packaging that couldn’t be duplicated.]
A product request was sent to eight different glass makers. Workers at the Root Glass Company got the request and began flipping through the encyclopedia at the local library, landing on cocoa seed.
Though cocoa seed is not an ingredient of the soda, (11) [they designed their bottle based on the seed’s shape and large middle.] It won over Coke executives in Atlanta and would go on to receive its own trademark, spur collections and earn Coca-Cola an iconic image that made it part of American culture for a century.
It was 100 years ago this week that the bottle earned a patent. By World War II, Coke bottle sales had ballooned into billions. Americans mostly consume Coke out of aluminum or plastic today, but the glass bottle remains a symbol of America that’s readily recognized around the world.
9. What does the passage say appears in almost all ads for Coca-Cola?(这篇文章说在可口可乐几乎所有的广告中出现了什么?)
解析:D。录音开头提到,在几乎所有的可口可乐广告中,无论是在卡通北极熊还是圣诞老人的手中,都能发现一样东西:独特的玻璃瓶(glass bottle)。D项与此内容相符,glass bottle原词复现,因此D项为正确答案。
错项排除:A、B、C三项分别利用录音中的Santa Claus、cocoa seeds和polar bears进行干扰,但录音中是说无论是在卡通北极熊还是圣诞老人的手中,都有一个玻璃瓶,后面还提到瓶子的形状是按可可籽的形状设计的,并不是广告中都会有圣诞老人、可可籽和北极熊,故A、B、C三项均可排除。
