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to。…to日勺体现方式。

20.Whichclassarethemanandthewomantakingtogether?

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

是什么课。回忆女上所说H勺inthesameclass和IntroductiontoEnglishLiterature以及男上Fl勺肯定I可答

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

对话内容(makemydomp3itorydepositfornextyear)可知男士说的hurryup指H勺是赶紧去交

domp3itorydeposit,由此可知假如要住学校日勺房子，就要付某些钱给housingoffice,故选［A］。
