2020年12月英语四级听力答案解析:短篇新闻3(沪江网校)

2020年12月英语四级考试已经结束,沪江第一时间为大家准备了四级听力答案解析,快来对答案吧!

A Philippine fisherman was feeling down on his luck when [Q5] a house fire forced him to [Q6] clear out his possessions and change locations. Then, a good luck charm that he had kept under his bed changed his life.

 

The unidentified man had fished out a giant pearl from the ocean when his anchor got stuck on the rock while sailing off a coastal island in the Philippines ten years ago.

 

When [Q6] he was forced to sell it, the shocked tourist agent at Puerto Princesca told him [Q7] that the 77-pound giant pearl that he had kept hidden in his rundown wooden house was the biggest pearl in the world, which was valued at £76 million.

 

The pearl of Allah, which is currently on display in a New York museum, only weighs 14 pounds. That is five times smaller than the pearl that the fisherman just handed in.

 

The monstrous pearl, measured at 1 foot wide and 2.2 feet long, is going to be verified by local experts and international authorities before hopefully going on display to attract more tourists in the little town.

 

Q5: What happened to the Philippine fisherman one day?

Q6: What was the fisherman forced to do?

Q7: What did the fisherman learn from the tourist agent?
