Passage Three
[32]An elderly woman yesterday made a legal claim against a department store because it had wrongly accused her of [33]stealing a Christmas card. Mrs. Doss White, 72 years old, is claiming $3,000 damages from the store for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment. Mrs. White visited the store while doing Christmas shopping, but did not buy anything. She was followed through the town by a store manager. He had been told that a customer saw her take a card and put it in her shopping bag. He stopped her at a bookstore as she was reading a book. Mrs. White said, "This man, a total stranger, suddenly grasped my bag and asked if he could look in it." [34]She was taken back to the store and shut in a small room in full view of shoppers for 20 minutesuntil the police arrived. At the police station she was body-searched and nothing was found. [35]Her lawyer said that the department store sent an insincere apology and they insisted that she may have been stealing. The hearing continues today.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What does the story tell us about the old woman?
正确答案:D
解析:题目询问该故事告诉了我们关于老太太的一些什么情况。关键是要听到文章首句:“一位老太太昨天起诉了一家百货商店,因为该店冤枉她偷了一张圣诞贺卡。”故选D。文中提到的事件发生地点是百货商店而不是书店,故A不正确;B在文中未提及;C与老太太的实际态度恰好相反。
33. What was said to have been stolen?
正确答案:D
解析:题目询问什么东西据称被盗走了。文章首句提到“该店冤枉她偷了一张圣诞贺卡”,故答案为D。
34. What happened to Mrs. White after she was taken back to the store?
正确答案:B
解析:题目询问Mrs. White被带回商场之后,发生了什么事。关键是要听到“她(Mrs. White)被带回商店,并在众目睽睽之下被关在一个小房间达20分钟之久,直到警方到来。”故答案为B。选项A的内容文中未提及;其他购物者只是都看到了她,并没有侮辱她,故C不正确;她被带到警察局之后才被搜身,故D不正确。
35. What was now the attitude of the department store in this legal case?
正确答案:C
解析:题目询问在这个案子中,商场目前持什么态度。关键是要听到“老太太的律师说百货商店的道歉并不真诚,而且他们坚持认为她可能偷了贺卡。”故答案为C。
