D、His good luck charm sank into the sea. 听前预测： 利用播放答题导语的时间,快速浏览每道题的四个选项。由选项关键词 fishing boat、sea、fishing、 museum、 monstrous pearl和 largest pearl等可知,本则新闻很可能是一篇有关一位渔民的新闻报道,且与一颗大珍珠有关,听音时应侧重这些方面。 A Philippine fisherman was feeling down on his luck when a house fire forced him to 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.［6］ When he was forced to sell it,［7 ］the shocked tourist agent at Puerto Princesa told him 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 1.4 pounds. That is five times smaller than the pearl that the fisherman just handed in.
