Passage Three
    This is Ray MacArthur with the news. Reports are coming in of a major train crash in Japan. (32)A passenger train carrying hundreds of workers home from the center of Tokyo is reported to have hit an oncoming goods train. Both were traveling at high speed. (33)Figures are not yet available but it is believed that the death toll could be as high as 300, with hundreds more injured. Emergency and Rescue Services rushed to the scene. But our reporter says it will take days to clear the track and to establish the numbers of the dead and injured. There was a similar accident on the same stretch of track four years ago.
    (34)There was another bomb scare in a large London store last night during late night shopping. Following a telephone call to the police from an anonymous caller, hundreds of shoppers were shepherded out of the store while roads in the area were sealed off. Police dogs spent hours searching the store for a bag which the caller claimed contained 50 pounds of explosives. Nothing was found and the store was given the all-clear by opening time this morning. A police spokesman said that this was the third bomb scare within a week and that we should all be on our guard.
    (35)And finally, the motoring organizations have issued a warning to drivers following the recent falls of snow in many parts of the country. Although the falls may be slight, they say extra care is needed.

34．Why did people have to leave the London store last night?
A)。[聽前猜測] 從內(nèi)容上來看，四個選項都陳述了一件事情，在聽文章時要注意哪個表達(dá)是事實，哪個不是事實。
[精解] 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容的提示，昨晚在倫敦的一個大商店里發(fā)生了一起炸彈恐嚇事件，警方接到匿名者的電話后通知了商店，幾百名購物者迅速撤離，但警方花了幾個小時也沒有找到匿名者聲稱裝有50磅炸藥的袋子�？梢姡�購物者離開的原因是炸彈恐嚇事件，故A)為本題答案。
35．What did motoring organizations advise drivers to do?
