little meat.

healthy lifestyle.

to travel to work on my bike.

C. Sorry.
【答案】18. A
19. B
20. A
【解析】
【原文】W: This is the 6 o’clock news for Tuesday 25th November. And first the
headlines:
The government has promised to help the poor farmers in the northern part of
the country who haven’t seen rain for nearly two years. And in Sydney a group of
school children are successfully rescued from a plane which landed in the sea shortly
after take-off. Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne asking for a pay raise.
And the strike may spread to other states.
Now let’s focus on the school children. They were travelling in a plane from
Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert. They found themselves
swimming for the shore when their plane had to land in the sea just three minutes
after taking off from Sydney Airport. The pilot managed to bring the aircraft and
its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of Botany Bay where boats were able
to come to the rescue of the children. It was a weekend, and there were hundreds
of boats in the bay enjoying the good weather. This undoubtedly helped the rescue
operation. The children said they owed their lives to the skill of the pilot. But
the pilot replied modestly that it was all part of a day’s work. However, all their
musical instruments were lost and they never got to play at their concert.

thousands, of different records and methods that may apply to your own research.
