单项选择题

听力原文:W: Congratulations on your second album Love Is My Religion.
M: Thank you.
W: The message of love and friendship seems to be a running theme.
M: It was some stuff I was writing about that came together. I wasn't meaning to write about those themes.
W: So it wasn't a conscious decision to write about friendship and love?
M: No, no. I wanted to write an album that was more spiritual, more emotional.
W: Does that reflect where you were at the time you were writing the album?
M: We're trying to be. We're trying to get feeling of the alignment of the planets.
W: How long did it take you to record Love Is My Religion?
M: It took one year to record the album.
W: Was it shorter or longer than your previous efforts?
M: That's about the same.
W: Was it more difficult than your previous albums?
M: No, it's more spiritual. That's what it's all about. There was more opportunity to realize that we're not alone in our existence. There's a lot more happening when you're alone in an environment. You can actually perceive the things you wouldn't perceive if you were around a bunch of people.
W: So you prefer to work alone? So do I.
M: Some people don't work like that. They don't like to be alone.
W: I understand you played most, if not every, instrument on the album.
M: Not every. I played a lot. I had an engineer working with me, Ross, who played some instruments, too.
W: That must have been a lot of work.
M: It's not work. It's great fun. It's great enjoyment. It's experimentation and mystique that worked.

单项选择题
听力原文:W: Does the Motor Voter Law cover all the states?M: No.W: Which ones? Why not?M: Six states are not covered by the provisions of the National Voter Registration Act. They are: North Dakota (because this state does not have voter registration); and Minnesota, Wisconsin, Idaho, New Hampshire and Wyoming (because they have election-day registration). The Washington, D.C. coalition which was working to pass this legislation had to compromise in order to get sufficient U.S. Senate votes to pass the bill.W: Will the Motor Voter Law help disadvantaged groups? If yes, how?M: Of course. This law helps to reach disadvantaged people in several ways: It requires that all covered states offer voter registration whenever anyone applies for services at state-funded agencies primarily involved in serving people with disabilities. It also requires that all covered states offer voter registration by mail, which means that you don't have to travel long distances at inconvenient times to find someone who has been certified to be able to register you to vote.W: What do you think is the greatest challenge faced by our democracy today in terms of voting?M: One of the biggest challenges is putting a limit on the amount of money which goes into campaigns. Campaign finance reform. Too much money is allowing the candidates to run their campaigns with 30 second TV spots. They never have to meet people and really address what's on their minds. People then get frustrated, because the issues are narrow and the candidates don't speak to their interests.W: What else?M: Another major issue is third-party access. Other parties in addition to the Democrats and the Republicans need to be able to get candidates onto ballots more easily. Third parties will increase competition, increase quality, and increase substance of debates.(23)A.North Dakota and Washington D.CB.South Dakota and Washington D.CC.Wisconsin and Wyoming.D.Wyoming and Washington.
