W:Yourshoesaren,tinverygoodshape,either.

Q:Whatdoesthewomanimply?

【解析】选［0。女士说好像男士的鞋也坏了。女士的意思是要男士不但要买个好一点的球拍，也该

换双鞋了，选项［C］符合题意。

12.M:Haveyoufoundapartnertoworkwithonbiology?Thelabclassistomorrow.

W:Totellyouthetruth,I'vebeentiedupwithmychemistrycoursethisweek.

Q:Whatcanbeinferredaboutthewoman?

【解析】选［B］。女士回答说事实上她这周一直忙着化学呢，即她还没有找到合作对象。［A］和［C］项

误解了betiedupwith的含义，分别将该短语理解为“喜欢”和“厌恶”；［D］项是说太忙而没有时间

学习化学，这与女士所说的“一直忙着学习化学”相矛盾，注意的表达方式。

13.M:MakethirtycopiesformeandtwentycopiesforMr.Brown.

W:Certainly,Sir.AssoonasIfinishtypingthelette匚

Q:Whatistheprobablerelationshipbetweenthetwospeakers?

【解析】选［C］。对话中的copies和typing都是在办公室场景中出现频率非常高的词语。另外，男士

的祈使语气和女士对男士的称呼(Sir)有助于判断他们的上下级关系。

14.W:Itmustbethefirsttimeforyoutobeaboardawarship.

M:Don'tyouknowthatI'vebeeninmilitaryserviceintheNavyfbryears?

Q:Whatcanwesayabouttheman?

【解析】选［D］。女士推测这是男士第一次登上军舰，男士用否定疑问句的形式对此予以了否定，说

以前他就曾在海军服过兵役。即他之前就登上过军舰，故［D］为答案。

15.W:Howdidyourinterviewgo?

M:Icouldn,tfeelworseaboutit.ThequestionswereveryfairbutIseemedtofindnoanswersforallof

them.

Q:Howdoesthemanfeelabouttheinterview?

【解析】选［B］。Icouldn,tfeelworseaboutit指Ifeeltheworst,这说明男士的面视并不理想，［B］

是对他心情的正确描述。比较级用于否定结构可表示“最…不过”。如Nothingbetter(那最好不过了)。

16.M:Ican'tfindmylunchboxanywhere.

W:Nevermind.V11treatyoutoday.

Q:Whatdowelearnfromthisconversation?

【解析】选［C］。对话中的关键词是treat”款待；做东；请客”，男士说找不到自己的饭盒了，女士

说没关系，我请你吃饭，选项［C］是女士回话的同义转述。［A］、［B］与对话无关。［D］是借treat一词

设置的干扰项。

17.M:Wasn,titterrific?

W:Well,themusicwasenjoyable,butthestorydidn'tmakemuchsensetome.Istillprefertraditional

Dramawithstrongcharactersandanexcitingplot.

Q:Whatdoesthewomanthinkoftheplay?

【解析】选［C］。对话中男士问女士对戏剧的看法，女士说戏剧的音乐不错，但故事情节没意思，并

补充说她喜欢人物塑造力强、情节生动的传统戏剧。由此推知她认为这部戏剧太现代派了，故［C］为

答案。

18.W:Wherehaveyoubeenallthistime?Thetrainisabouttoleave!

M:SorryI'mlate,butIwaswaitingforyouattheinformationdeskupstairs.It'sluckyIthoughttolook

foryouhereontheplatform.

Q:Wheredidthemanthinktheyweresupposedtomeet?

面。所以答案为［D］。

Questions19to21arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.

19.Whereistheconversationmostprobablytakingplace?

【解析】选［A］。分析选项发现四个选项均是由表示方位的介宾短语“in+名词”构成，表明本题考

查的是对地点的判断，我们可以根据行为活动和代表性的词语来判断地点。对话一开始女士的buy

thatbook即表明对话发生在书店内。而图书馆一般与借书、还书有关。

20.Whichclassarethemanandthewomantakingtogether?

【解析】选［C］。四个选项的内容在录音中都有提及，关键是听清题目问的是男士和女士一起讨论的

是什么课。回忆女士所说的inthesameclass和IntroductiontoEnglishLiterature以及男士的肯定回答

Yes可以得出答案。

21.WhatdoesthemanthinkaboutProfessorRobert?

【解析】选［D］°根据［B］、［0、［D］可以推断He指的是一个老师或者教授。录音中提到了Professor

Robert,女士说ProfessorRobertreallyseemstoknowhissubject,男士肯定了女士的说法，说Professor

Robert的课verygood并且喜欢listeningtohisstudents,由此可以判断ProfessorRobert是一个优秀的

教授。

Questions22to25arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.

22.Whatarethespeakersdiscussing?

【解析】选［B］。对话围绕着交下一年的宿舍押金展开，接着女士说她在考虑搬出校园，由此引发了

两人的讨论，因此整个对话主要是对话双方讨论下一年在哪居住的问题，因此答案选［B］。

23.Whatmustapersondoinordertoliveinauniversityhouse?

【解析】选［A］。对话中男士说You'dbetterhurryupifyouwantaroomnextSeptember,而从前面的

对话内容(makemydormitorydepositfornextyear)可知男士说的hurryup指的是赶紧去交dormitory

deposit,由此可一知如果要住学校的房子，就要付一些钱给housingoffice,故选［A］。

24.Wheredothetwospeakerslivenow?

【解析】选［A］。从对话最后两人谈到在宿舍学习时的情况和住宿舍可以省钱可以判断两人现在都住

宿舍，只是女士想搬出宿舍住。

25.Whatdoesthemanseemtobeconcernedabout?

【解析】选［D］。从男士的话Thinkofthemoneyyou'dsave可以判断他关心的是money,因此答案

选［D］。［A］Grades是女士关心的问题。［B］和［C］两项对话中未谈及。

Q:Whatdoesthewomanimply?

16.W:Whatdoyouthinkofthemovie?

M:Itwasworthneitherthetimenorthemoney.

Q:Whatdoesthemanmean?

上说"hebackofthestore”。因此,选项［C］符合题干要求。

21.WhatkindsofbooksarelistedinBooksinPrint?

的情况下，女士解释说,BooksinPrint是“anindexthatlistsallofthebookscurrentlyavailablefrom

publishers,,,选项［C］符合题十•要求。注意，inprint是指U（books）currentlyavailablefrompublishers,
