Section A
11. M: Then why did you decide to quit your fomp3er job?
W: That's because of the journey. It took me about two hours to get to work. Your fimp3 is within walking distance.
Q: Why does the woman want to change her job?
【解析】選[D]。男士問女士為什么辭了以前的工作。女士說因為她每天要花兩個小時去上班，同時流露出羨慕男士的公司離其住所近，[A]錯誤。女士所說的journey，指路程而不是旅行，[B]錯誤。[C]項未提及。[D]中說女士不想在上班的路上花太多的時間，符合題意。
12. W: Do you think Edward will get here on time for the job interview?
M: If he doesn't, nobody will.
Q: What does the man mean?
【解析】選[A]。這道題關鍵在于聽懂男士的回答。女士問他Edward能否準時參加面試，男士并未直接回答，而是說：如果他不能的話，那么就沒有人能了，言外之意就是他肯定會準時到達。
13. M: Hey, you should be doing your art class now. Why are you here?
W: I realized I've no talent for drawing. Dmp3a is a better alternative than those brushes.
Q: What does the woman mean?
【解析】選[D]。女士的回答中，Dmp3a is a better alternative than those brushes是這個對話中的關鍵點。[D]項表明她已經退出了藝術課，而選擇了戲劇課，故為答案。
14. W: Oh dear, I gained these 10 pounds in the last 3 months, none of my clothes fit any more.
M: I wouldn't complain, you look much better. In fact, you can gain another 5 pounds and still look good.
Q: What does the man mean?
【解析】選[C]。每每女士為自己的體重大驚小怪時，男士常會給予一定的安慰和勸說。對話中男士說you look much better. In fact, you can gain another 5 pounds and still look good表明，男士勸女士不應為其體重擔心。
15. M: I'd like to buy these four greeting cards. Are they ten yuan each?
W: Three of them are. But that smaller one costs only half the price of the big ones.
Q: How much will the man pay for the cards?
【解析】選[C]。這是一道綜合性的計算題，但并不復雜，只要聽到Three of them are (ten yuan each)"其中三個是每個十元"及that smaller one costs half the price of the bigger ones"小卡片的價錢是大卡片的一半"，確定應選[C]。
16. W: I know you're busy, but how about attending a film festival tonight? Your favorite star will make an appearance.
M: You think I'd give that a miss?
Q: What does the man mean?
【解析】選[A]。女士對男士說我知道你很忙，但今晚你愿意參加一個電影節嗎，你最喜歡的明星會露面。男士反問道，你認為我會放棄這個機會嗎?實際上暗示了他肯定會去的，這和選項 [A]吻合。男士的回答中，You think I'd give that a miss?是這個對話的關鍵點。
17. W: Would you mind sending champagne and strawberries to my room at 1 a.m. please?
M: I'll try, ma'am. But on Wednesday the kitchen staff leave at mid-night.
Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?
【解析】選[D]。champagne and strawberry、sending … to my room、kitchen staff構成了一個"在賓館談論送餐"的特定場景。
18. W: You were on the phone for a long time. To whom were you talking?
M: Oh, to Susan. She always knows the latest news in town and she couldn't wait to see me to talk it over.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
【解析】選[B]。對話中男士不僅回答了女士的問題，還進一步提到Susan急于告知他鎮上的最新消息。選項[B] eager to pass the infomp3ation she knows就是對話中couldn't wait to see me to talk it over的同義轉述can't wait to do sth.意為"急切地想要做某事"。
Conversation One
W: Can I help you?
M: Yes, I'd like to read some articles that are on reserve about British culture.
W: Professor Grand's class?
M: That's right. How could you know?
W: Let's just say you are not the first person coming in asking for those articles.
M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet, it doesn't really matterwhich one you give me first.
W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment. They've all been checked out.
M: You're joking, all of them?
W: Every month. I've asked professor Grand twice already to bring in additional copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the shelves than they are gone. See that girl in the black sweater? She's been waiting for half an hour for those same articles to be returned.
M: And here's me. I went out of my way to free out the whole afternoon to read.
W: I'm sorry, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it. All I can suggest is that you come in first thing tomorrow morning and try again. We open at eight.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is the man surprised to learn?
【解析】選[C]。男士來借閱論文，被告知論文都被借走(been checked out)了，不由得說，You are joking, all of them?其中，You are joking表示不相信、驚訝之情(surprised)。同義的表達有Ar
e you kidding?
20. What does the woman say about Professor Grand?
【解析】選[D]。根據選項無法判斷問題是什么的時候，更需要我們注意聽問題。 題目問Professor Grand的情況，圖書管理員說她已經兩次請Professor Grand拿來多份論文，但總是很快就被借走了。其他選項在對話中都找不到依據。
21. What does the woman suggest that the man do?
【解析】選[A]。對話的最后部分女士建議男士明天一早就過來(come in first thing tomorrow morning)，并告訴他開館時間為8點。
Conversation Two
M: Come on, Julie, how are we going to convince everybody that I'm the best candidate?
W: It won't be easy!
M: Thanks a lot!
W: Oh, just kidding. Actually, I think once we show everyone how well you did asjunior class treasurer, you are sure to be elected president.
M: Well..., what's your strategy?
W: One thing I was thinking of is to hang campaign posters in all the hallways.
M: But everyone puts up posters. We need to do something different.
W: Let me finish. The campus radio station is willing to let you have five minutestomorrow morning at seven to outline your plans for the year. Lots of students will hear you then.
M: Great idea!
W: I've also arranged for you to give a speech during dinner time tomorrow. Over a hundred students will be there. And you can answer questions after you finish speaking.
M: That means I'd better come up with a speech pretty quickly. How about if I write it tonight and show it to you after chemistry class tomorrow?
W: Fine. I'll see you after class.
M: You are really good at this. I'll be glad you agreed to help me out.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What election are the speakers discussing?
【解析】選[D]。聽對話，注意對話開頭部分，捕捉與elected相關的信息，根據the best candidate，sure to be elected president可以判斷他們談論的是學生會主席的選舉。
23. What do we learn from the conversation?
【解析】選[D]。對話首句男士問how are we going to...;女士策略：One thing I was thinking of..., I've also arranged for you...。根據細節進行推理可知，女士是在幫助男士策劃競選活動。

【解析】選[B]。聽音時捕捉與選舉有關的動作行為：come up with a speech以及write it tonight。問題問男士今天晚上將要做什么，[B]為細節再現。
25. What will the speakers do after chemistry class?
【解析】選[B]。聽對話，捕捉與選項有關的表動作的詞句，come up with a speech，and show it to you after chemistry class。問題問談話者化學課后做什么。根據細節進行推理，應該是Review the man's talk。
