    问答题
    Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent reminder that they live in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth, though rarely to any action on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image of it. Soldiers rarely hold the ideals that movies attribute to them, nor do ordinary citizens devote their lives to unselfish service of humanity. Intelligent people know these things but tend to forget them when they do not hear them expressed.

    正确答案:
    讽刺作品之所以存在是因为人们需要它。它存续至今,是因为读者欣赏爽身怡心的刺激和不拘谦恭的告诫,它提醒读者,他们生活的世界里充满了陈腐的思想意识、低俗的道德说教和愚蠢的哲学理念。讽刺作品虽然很少代表真理促成行动,但它却能使人们感悟到真理。讽刺作品常常告诉人们,他们在大众媒体中所看到的、听到的、读到的大多是伪装善良、多愁善感或只有部分真实。生活只在很小的程度上与大众对它的印象相符。士兵们很少拥有电影赋予他们的理想,而普通老百姓也决不会把自己的生命无私地奉献给人道主义服务。聪明人知道这些事实,但是当周围人不谈起时,他们常常会忘记掉。

    No, he would like a lot less paperwork.

    C

    Not mentioned.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    从I love it…you take on a sort of package可知他热爱自己的工作。
    【录音原文】
      Interviewer: Mr. Bacon, what is your job exactly?
      Bacon: I’m a vet, veterinary surgeon in general practice, looking after all different sorts of animals—sheep, goats, pigs, horses, dogs, cats—we even have some lions and tigers at the zoo and we have a few bears, wolves, otters—you name it we look after it.
    Interviewer: What sort of pets do people bring you here to your surgery mainly?
    Bacon: Well, mostly it’s going to be dogs and cats but then we have snakes and parrots and rats and ferrets and all other animals that people keep as pets.
      Interviewer: You mention snakes—why do you think people keep snakes? What’s the attraction in that?
      Bacon: Well, I quite like snakes but I wouldn’t actually want one as a pet, um... I think some people are very keen on snakes, they like having them.
      Interviewer: Maybe they are keeping them to frighten other people. All right, Mr. Bacon, now the British people have a reputation for being very animal-minded. Do you think the British spend more money on their animals than on their children?
      Bacon: It depends on the people. Some people are very good with their animals, some people are reasonable with their animals, some go absolutely over the top and treat them far better than they would to their children, and unfortunately there are a group of people that are cruel to their animals and so we do a certain amount of work with the Royal-RSPCA.
      Interviewer: What experience have you had of people who treat their animals too well?
      Bacon: Lots of animals come in for surgery with lipstick marks on their head—we regard that as a specific sort of condition here and we always make a comment on it.
      Interviewer: Do you think animals are good for people’s health?
      Bacon: Well, of late we now talk about companion animals rather than pets and certainly people are taking dogs and cats into hospitals, to old people’s homes where a social contact is needed and this sort of petting of animals seems to help old people, and certainly we have old people who have budgerigars and other small animals and they’re very much of their life—they maybe see one person every two days but their animal is with them all the time, and it’s a companion.
      Interviewer: Do animals ever attack you when you’re handling them?
      Bacon: Mostly we handle them very easily, it’s only occasionally that we get hurt by animals, scratched and bitten by cats, bitten by dogs, and my partner recently got a fractured leg because of an angry horse—so we have a dangerous job as well as an enjoyable job. I think probably the thing I like best about it is delivering new animals. It never fails to amaze me how one moment you can have one mother and the next moment you can have a pile of animals and, I think the day I don’t get pleasure out of delivering new born animals I shall give up.
      Interviewer: But you’re still very much interested in your job?
      Bacon: Oh, I love it. I would like a lot less paperwork, and I’d like just to do veterinary medicine, but unfortunately you take on a sort of package.
    Interviewer: OK, thank you very much indeed.
