W: Did you turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors?
M: Yes, I told the Johnsons' we'd be gone for two weeks. They promise to keep an eye on the house for us.
Q: What are the two speakers going to do?
正確答案：A
解析：本題解題的關鍵在于聽清楚男士“we'd be gone for two weeks”這一重要信息。其余的信息“turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors”以及“keep an eye on the house for us”都是在加強這一信息，所以正確答案為A，其中a couple of這個短語在聽力中頻頻考查，往往與two呼應。B用原文中的部分信息check the locks進行干擾，C似乎是對keep an eye on the house的解釋，但人稱顛倒了，D為夸大事實。此外，固定習語keep an eye on（留心）也是需要掌握的。

M: Hurry up, Linda! I hear that there aren't many tickets left for the football match.
W: I am ready now. Let's go. It's the early bird that catches the worm.
Q: Why did the man ask the woman to hurry up?
正確答案：C
解析：本題中要聽清男士的話“there aren't many tickets left for the football match”，那么只有C意思相符。同時，女士的話中出現了諺語“It's the early bird that catches the worm”，意為“早起的鳥兒有蟲吃；先到者先得”。這其實也加強了男士的話的含義。A是在用warm進行近音干擾；B與原文毫不相干；D是利用原文中的單詞重新編排構成音近/同音陷阱，game bird意為“獵鳥”。
