Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension
Section A
11. M: Why don’t you come to our home for dinner some time this week? I have practiced to improve my cooking.
W: I’d like to, but we have visitors from Finland, perhaps next week.
Q: Why can’t the woman accept the man’s invitation?
【解析】B)。四個選項都是關于女士,由此暗示對話當中應該更加重視與女士有關的部分。男士邀請女士去他家吃晚飯(come to our home for dinner),女士說這個星期有芬蘭來的客人(visitors from Finland)要招待,可能要下個星期去。因為女士這個星期有客人,所以女士不能接受男士的邀請。故正確答案為B)。
12. M: I hope I won’t oversleep. I’ve simply got to catch the first flight to New York.
W: If I were you, I’d request the wake-up call from the hotel reception.
Q: What does the woman advise the man do?
【解析】D)。四個選項都是不定式,由此可以推斷,本題的內容可能是目的或者動作。 女士說,如果我是你(If I were you),就會要旅店提供叫醒電話(wake-up call)。由此可見,女士建議男士ask for a wake-up call,正確答案為D)。
13. M: I really had a busy week. I want to get some rest. I always enjoy a nap on Saturday afternoon.
W: I don’t think you can. Mr. Smith has just parked his car at the door, and he is coming up now.
Q: What can we learn from this conversation?
【解析】B)。四個選項都更側重男士方面,由此暗示對話當中應該更加注意與男士相關的部分。 男士一般都在星期六下午睡個午覺(enjoy a long siesta on Saturday afternoon),但女士說Mr. Smith已經在門口停車,馬上就來了(parked his car at the door,he is coming up)。由此可以推斷,男士今天不能睡午覺了(won’t be able to enjoy a nap)。故正確答案為B)。
14. W: How is George doing? Is he doing all right?
M: He is doing fine now. He planned to change his job for a while but finally decided to keep the present one.
Q: What can we learn about George in this conversation?
【解析】B)。四個選項都是有關George和工作的關系,對工作的看法和態度,由此可以推測,本題的內容是關于George和工作的。 George的工作現在做得不錯(doing fine)。雖然他想過換工作(planned to change his job),但是他決定保留現有的工作(keep the present one)。故正確答案為B)。
15. W: Good morning. This is Dr.Allen’s office.
M: Good morning. I’d like to make an appointment with Dr.Allen to have my teeth cleaned and checked. I’d like to have it done this week if possible.
Q: Who is the woman?
【解析】C)。四個選項都是表示身份的詞,由此可以推測,本題的內容是關于某人的身份。男士要和牙醫預約洗牙和檢查(have my teeth cleaned and checked)。由此可見,女士應該是牙醫診所的接待員(receptionist)。故C)為正確答案。
