W: I tried to catch the bus but still couldn't make it. Did the boss say anything about my not being here at nine?
M: Well, he looked angry. He said if he were you, he'd make a habit of being on time.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
正確答案:D
解析:本題關鍵是聽懂男士的回答中使用的虛擬語氣,“如果他是你,他會養成準時的習慣”,言外之意就是女士應該養成準時的習慣,所以答案選D。選項D中的punctual正是原文on time的同義表達。虛擬語氣處是考點,要注意虛擬語氣的弦外之音。

M: It's already eight thirty. We'll have to hurry if we want to catch the flight.
W: Well, it takes only half an hour to get to the airport, and the plane doesn't leave until nine fifty. We have plenty of time to check in.
Q: How much time would be left for the man and the woman to check in for the flight?
正確答案:A
解析:考查對時間的理解。對話中提供了三個時間,現在是8:30,去機場需要半個小時,飛機9:50才起飛,因此他們到達機場后還有50分鐘時間辦理登機手續。
