2003年6月 第8題

　　M: Mr. Smith, our history professor, announced we would be doing two papers and three exams this semester. I wonder how I'm going to pull through when two other courses have similar requirements.?

　　W: Well, can't you drop one course and pick it up next semester? ?

　　Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

　　A) Do the assignments towards the end of the semester. ?

　　B) Quit the history course and choose another one instead. ?

　　C) Drop one course and do it next semester. ?

　　D) Take courses with a lighter workload.?

　　解析：男生抱怨道我們的歷史老師Smith宣稱這個學期我們要搞定兩份論文三次考試。可是別的課程也有類似的要求，我都不知道我該怎么去應付了。女生建議道那你為什么不退一門課呢?下學期再選也不遲啊。因此答案選C。

　　預訂難以成功：房間、交通或演出的票、商品等都很難訂到或買到。

　　M: I wonder whether it would be possible to change this double room to two single rooms.?

　　W: Sorry, sir. All the single rooms are occupied. But if you like, I can check with Imperial Hotel to see if they have any.

　　Q: What's the woman going to do for the man?

　　A) Let him move to a room with two single beds.?

　　B) Check to see if there are any vacancies in her hotel.?

　　C) Try to help him find rooms in another hotel.?

　　D) Show him the way to Imperial Hotel.

　　解析：中男生說：我不知道能不能把這個雙人間換成兩個單人間。女生回答：對不起先生，所有的單人間都訂滿了。如果你想要的話，我可以給你查查帝國飯店看看它們有沒有。因此答案選C。

　　女生更愛學習、男生更愛娛樂：

　　B) The man attended the concert, but didn't like it.?

　　C) The man was sorry that he didn't attend the concert.?

　　D) The man is more interested in football than in classical music.

　　解析：中男生說：你錯過了昨天晚上的音樂會真可惜。它很棒的。男生回答：我不想錯過足球賽啊，況且我不是一個古典音樂迷。因此答案選D。

　　另外，交通工具容易遲到，邀約對方容易遭到拒絕(吃飯的邀請容易成功)，事故中人不會死亡而是生還等特色規律都可以在題目中找到大量的佐證。
