Answer 1

答案：1B2C3B4A
解析：

聽力原文：     Hi, I'd like to talk to the manager about something. I have to travel day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this road the number 49 and number 16. However, by the time the number 16 bus reaches So UK Road it is always full, so it is of no use to me. This leaves the number 49, which sometimes had empty seats on it.     Your timetable is there. It shows that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?     The rules say that if there are empty seats on a bus, they must stop at every stop people are waiting. Why is it, therefore, that half----empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?     The rules say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the Airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.     Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Highest speed: 50 m.p.h.” The distance from So UK Road to Kai Tak is 10 miles. On Saturday morning a 49 bus traveled this distance in 10 minutes. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 m.p.h.     It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the rules nor consideration for the passengers. Can nothing be done about this?     (Now listen again, please)
