Ladies and gentleman. Our country has come to a crossroad, and now you have the power to change the political landscape of America. As I have said time and time again, if you elect me to be your face in congress, there are several things I will do to ensure that your needs are met day in and day out across this land.
    First of all, I plan on proposing new laws that will invest more tax dollars in our public schools, not only to meet the needs of today, but to encourage developing minds for the future. Such new funding would be used to hire and retain good teachers, build new schools, and reduce the tax of classroom teachers. To accomplish this, I am proposing no new taxes increases, but rather are channeling of our existing tax revenue to meet these demands. Now, the current government leaders have been talking about this for years with little progress. I plan to change all of this now.
    Second, economic development is on the minds of most of you, particularly with regard to our downtown area. For many years, economic prosperity has been neglected by current government leaders, and I plan to change all of that. I am proposing a city center revitalization project that would promote new businesses, new residential areas, and new open green areas to bring people back to the heart of our city. Current leaders have allowed the new city to die, preferring to invest in sport fields in the remote areas.
    And third, I am proposing the construction of a light rail train system, to be built over the next decade, to meet the growing demands of better and more efficient transportation for years to come. My opponent and his administration have lacked the vision of long-term solutions, preferring to take a look-and-see approach. Such a short sighted stance fails to consider the needs of future generations… our children and our grandchildren.
    And finally, my opponent has cited my inexperience as a reason why you shouldn’t vote for me. However. I am not a career politician who has lost touch with the everyday needs and concerns of day-today people. My work as an educator and business owner has given me a unique perspective on the pains and challenges you face.
    If elected, I promise to give my all to my elected position and make sure your issues and concerns are fully addressed at the local and national level.
    Thank you.
    19. What do we learn about the candidate’s proposal on taxes?
    20. What is the candidate’s main point about economic development?
    21. What can we infer from the candidate’s point on transportation?
    22. What reason is given for voting for the candidate at the end of the speech?

选项 A、She understands the needs of common people.
B、She is an experienced career politician.
C、She fights against big business interests.
D、She protects educators and business owners.

答案A

解析 短文中,候选人声称自己不是一名对人们日常生活需求和所关注的事情一无所知的职业政客,而是一名教育工作者和企业家。她对人们所面对的痛苦和挑战具有独特的见解,从而为自己的竞选赢得支持。由此可知A项“她理解普通人的需求”为正确答案。录音中提到,候选人声称自己不是一名职业政客,故B项“她是一位有经验的职业政治家”不正确;C项“她反对大企业的利益”和D项“她保护教育工作者和企业家的利益”在录音中没有相关信息。
