参考答案：对

解析：[听力原文]No state epitomizes the American South better than Mississippi: First-time visitors are often struck by how friendly residents are -- the "southern hospitality" for which this part of the country is famous. They’re also likely to be amazed (and far less pleased) at the year-round heat and humidity.

[分析]： 语义的理解和判断。 关于Mississippi，讲话者一开始便定论No state epitomizes the American South better than Mississippi即没有哪个州像Mississippi那样典型，能够代表美国南部诸州。接着，讲话者以该州风土人情和气候状况为例具体说明。由此可见，题干的说法与原文意思相符。[解题关键] 1)掌握带否定结构的比较级表示最高级的用法，如本题原文中no... better than 实际上是最高级表达法的替换。2)掌握关键信息中核心词汇的释义，如核心词汇 epitomize意思是“为……的典型表现”。
