2、t know when her class will end.答案:AM: Would you like to go with me to the airport to pick up Frank?W: Id like to, but I have class till 2:00. And I know Franks decided to take the early flight.解析 这是典型的“.but”句型，是英语对话中表示拒绝的典型句型，也就是面对第一个讲话者的邀请，第二个讲话者先表示主观上其实是愿意的，然而由于客观的原因，没有办法去，句子中并没有出现“no”，但是其实结果就是拒绝了

3、。“pick up”在这里的意思是“接人”。2. What does the man mean?A.He watched the television program with his mother.B.His mother told him his professor was on television.C.Answering the phone caused him to miss the television program.D.His mother missed the television program.答案:BW: Did you catch our very own Profe

4、ssor Stiller on TV last night?M: I almost missed it ! But my mother just happened to be watching at home and gave me a call.解析 题解题的关键是听出第一个人在问他“昨晚是否在电视上看到Professor Stiller”，而第二个讲话者说“我几乎错过”，多亏他母亲电话提醒他，他才不致错过，从而知道其实第二个人是看到了。“catch”在这里是“捕捉，看到”的意思，而“almost”是“几乎，差不多”的意思，听出这两个词对于解题很有帮助。“happen to do”是“碰巧，

5、偶然做某事”的意思。3. What does the man mean?A.The pool will be open all week.B.The weather will cool down soon.C.The woman should go swimming.D.He prefers to stay inside in hot weather.答案:BW: These summer days are getting to be more than I can take. It was even too hot to go to the pool yesterday.M: Hold on

6、. According to the weather report we should have some relief by the end of the week.W: The weather report can never be relied on.解析 这是一道讨论天气的题目，“be getting to be more than I can take”的意思是“几乎使我无法忍受”，“even too hot to go to the pool”表示“太热以致连去游泳池都不行”。“hold on”是“坚持”的意思，而“have relief”是表示“放松，宽松”的意思。听懂第二句话是

7、解题的关键，也听出“根据天气预报我们周末就会好过一点”，言外之意，周末就不会那么热了。4.

8、o our own cooking next semester.W: Then, I hope youll have a lighter schedule than this term.解析 问题是问第二个讲话者的态度，表面看起来她并没有评论第一个讲话人的讲话内容，好像在说另外一件事情。但是实际是暗示他可能不会有充足的时间自己做饭。“do ones own cooking”的意思是自己做饭，而“lighter schedule”是“时间比较宽松”。5. What does the man ask the woman?A.When shell finish packing.B.If he can

9、 go with her.C.How long shell be away.D.When shes going to San Diego,答案:CW: I cant believe this. Im leaving for San Diego tomorrow and I havent even started packing yet.M: I wish I were going with you. Will you have much time there?W: As long as the work finishes.解析 第一个说话者虽然说了很多信息，但第二人的提问似乎与她说的话关系不太
