，故选D。13.A)Combinehertrainingwithdieting.B)Repeatthetrainingeverythreedays.C)Avoidexcessivephysicaltraining.D)Includeweightliftingintheprogram.[答案]C[解析]Man以自己上次因运动(举重)过量而受伤为例，建议女士应该量力而行，避免过量运动，故选C。14.A)Whenshewillreturnhome.B)Whethershecangobyherself.C)Whethershecantravelbyair.D)Whethershewillcompletelyrecover.[答案]C[解析]Man开头就说到I'mworriedabouthergoingonaplane.从中可知，他担心的是年老的母亲能不能乘飞机，故选C。15.A)Thewomanknowshowtodealwiththepolice.B)Thewomanhadbeenfinedmanytimesbefore.C)Thewomanhadviolatedtrafficregulations.D)Thewomanisgoodatfindingexcuses.[答案]C[解析]警察开头问到Whydidn'tyoustopwhenwefirstsignaledyouatthecrossroads?通过这句话就可以知道女士没有遵守交通规则，故选C。16.A)Switchofftherefrigeratorforawhile.B)Havesomeonerepairtherefrigerator.C)Askthemantofixtherefrigerator.D)Buyarefrigeratorofbetterquality.[答案]B[解析]Man说到Maybeyoushouldhaveitfixed，女士回答到You'reright.这说明女士也同意男士的看法，但并未提到让这个男士来修，故选B。17.A)Heownsapieceoflandinthedowntownarea.B)Hehasgotenoughmoneytobuyahouse.C)Hecanfinallydowhathehasdreamedof.D)Heismovingintoabiggerapartment.[答案]C[解析]Man第二句话说到Now,IhaveenoughmoneytobuythatpieceoflandI'vehadmyeyeonandbuildahouseonit.表明他能实现买地建房的理想了，故选C。18.A)Sheisblackandblueallover.B)Shehastogotoseeadoctor.C)Shestayedawayfromworkforafewdays.D)Shegothurtinanaccidentyesterday.[答案]D[解析]Woman说的第一句话是Myhandsstillhurtsfromthefallontheiceyesterday.从中可知这位女士昨天在冰上滑倒受伤了，但是男士认为伤势并不严重，只建议她休养几天就可以了，不必去看医生。C是较强的干扰项，应该是女士现在需要休息而不是过去已经休息了几天，故选D。19.Whatdowelearnaboutthewoman?[答案]D)Shewasawitnesstothecrime.[解析]文中男士需要女士描述一下抢劫银行的人(describethemanwhorobbedthebank)。选项中B提到了robbery，但是对话中没有说明女士是受害者(victim)；D选项提到了她目击了某个犯罪经过，robbery显然是crime的一种。20.Whatdidthesuspectlooklike?[答案]A)Atallmanwithdarkhairandamoustache.[解析]原文中提到Themanwastall,sixfoot,andhehaddarkhair,andhehadmoustache.，对应选项A。21.Whatdidthemanfinallyaskedthewomantodo?[答案]A)Identifythesuspectfrompictures.[解析]对话结尾处，男士要求女士lookatsomephotographs，很显然，他的目的是让女士通过照片来辨别嫌疑人。因此选择A。22.Howdidthewomangettoknowaboutthejobvacancy?[答案]A)Byreadinganewspaperad.[解析]jobvacancy指空缺的职位。在对话一开始，女士就说到她的目的：I'mcallingaboutthejobthatwasinthepaperlastnight.从这句话中可以看出她得知职位信息的来源是thepaperlastnight，对应A选项。23.Whydidthewomanfindthejobappealing?[答案]B
