Question 12 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

听力原文

W: I’m thinking of buying a car. (12) [I wouldn’t need to use it every day, but I think it would be very convenient to have one for the weekends.] 

M: That’s exciting. Would this be your first car?

W: No, I actually owned a car for a little while when I lived in Miami. You see, in America, many cities don’t have good public transport, so most people need their own car to get around.

M: I see. So have you got your mind set on a specific model?

W: No, not really. (13) [I’ve heard that German cars are very reliable,] but I haven’t decided on a specific model yet. I’d also like it to be small, so that it’s easy to drive in the city.

M: (14) [I have a friend who sells second-hand cars. In fact, I think his family owns the business. He’s a really nice guy, and he knows a lot about cars. I could give you his phone number if you want, and you could call him and ask him questions.] 

W: Hmm, that’s nice of you, but I don’t want to feel obliged to buy one of his cars.

M: Oh, no, he’s not like that. (15) [He’s a good friend of mine, and he would never try to pressure you or cheat you.] 

W: (15) [Well, if you trust him, then I guess it should be OK.] To be honest, I could use some help in deciding what type of vehicle would best suit my needs. Speaking to an expert would be a good idea.

M: Exactly. You have nothing to worry about. He’s a lovely guy, and he’ll be happy to help.

12. Why does the woman want to have a car? （为什么女士想要拥有一辆车？）

解析：D。在录音开头女士提到，她考虑买辆车，不需要每天都开，但如果能有一辆的话，周末用车会很方便。D项与此内容相符，其中的convenience对应录音中的very convenient，weekends为原词复现，故D项为正确答案。

错项排除：录音中没有提到有关上班通勤的内容，而且女士强调了不是每天都会用车，故A项错误。B项在录音中无依据，故排除。C项利用录音中出现的Miami和get around设置干扰，但这里是说女士之前住在迈阿密时曾有过一辆车，当时是为了出行方便，但这里说的是过去的事，而不是女士现在买车的目的，C项不符合题意，故排除。
