A woman in the Canadian province of Ontario has gone to court to regain custody of her monkey after the animal was found on its own at an IKEA furniture store. Lee Carter has more.
Millions of people have viewed the video of Darwin, the young Japanese macaque running loose shortly after he apparently escaped from a locked vehicle in an IKEA car park. After being seized by city of Toronto animal control officials, he was moved to a primate sanctuary where he is reported to be settling in. It is illegal to have this kind of exotic pet in Toronto. But in
court today the former owner Yasmin Nakhuda argued that the seizure was not legal because she claimed she was made to hand over ownership of the monkey under threats of criminal prosecution.

听力点拨与解析
Part A
1. province 2. regain 3. custody 4. furniture 5. reported
Part B
1. 该题目是考查对词形相近的单词的掌握。A项apparent“明显的”，形容词，而B项是“明显地”，副词，C项appear“看起来好像”，动词，D项appeal“呼吁，上诉”，动词。然后我们可以看到题干中的已给信息是“他从宜家停车场内一辆锁着的车里逃跑出来”，空格在主语He和谓语escaped 之间，所以应该填副词，B项
apparently填入后符合逻辑，所以B为正确答案。
2. 该题目考查对题干信息的理解，在分析整句结构的同时，我们重点把握空格后面的词“pet” 宠物，答案应该是一个可以修饰pet的形容词，在多伦多不能拥有什么宠物呢？根据全文的内容我们知道这则新闻是围绕一只来自日本的小猕猴的，所以从意思我们可以判断答案为B项，exotic“外国的，异国情调的”。A项exit“出口”，C项expect“期待”，D项excited“兴奋的”。
3. 该题目考查对hand 有关词组的掌握。根据题干“she was made to hand ownership of the monkey...” 意思应该为“她被迫交出猴子的所有权”。而各个选项的意思分别为：A项hand in“递交”，B
项 hand on“把……传下去”，C项 hand out“分发，散发”， D项hand over“移交，交出”，所以正确答案为D。
