W: Why are you leaving so early? The drama doesn’t start until 7: 30.
M: I want to beat the traffic there. It’s a nightmare on the highway during rush hour.
Q: What does the man mean?
答案D
解析:選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于男士的做法,在聽力過程中,考生要特別注意男士的選擇。女士問,你為什么出發(fā)這么早?歌劇7:30才開始呢;男士在回答中用到了一個(gè)動(dòng)詞beat,beat the traffic,意為“避開交通高峰期”,隨后他進(jìn)一步解釋到,高峰期在高速公路上行駛,簡直是場噩夢。從中考生可以肯定男士想早點(diǎn)出發(fā),來避開行車高峰。

M: Well, she’s always been a beach person.
Q: What can be inferred about Jessica?
答案B
解析:根據(jù)選項(xiàng),考生可推斷聽力對話可能是關(guān)于女士和海灘。女士說,Jessica周末要再去海邊;男士附和,并說她對海邊情有獨(dú)鐘。從中可以判斷Jessica經(jīng)常去海邊。

W: My parents are coming this weekend, and I thought the four of us could go out to dinner on Saturday night. Any suggestions?

Q: What does the man mean?
答案C
解析:選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于周末的安排。女士說,父母要來,想在周六晚上一起出去吃飯,并咨詢男士的意見;男士使用了一個(gè)常用的動(dòng)詞短語,be up to sb.,意為“由......決定”,進(jìn)一步解釋說自己對周邊的飯店不是很了解,從中可以推斷男士希望女士決定吃飯的地方。

Q: What does the man mean?
答案C
解析:選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于男士讀書的問題。聽力過程中考生要關(guān)注男士有沒有開始讀,讀到了哪里。女士說,我希望你能喜歡我借給你的書,我不確定是不是你喜歡的類型。男士回答說,剛開始我也懷疑會(huì)不會(huì)喜歡,但一打開,我就放不下來。從中可以看出男士很喜歡這本書。
