W: Did you go see the doctor about your cough?
M: The doctor said if I keep smoking it will increase my chance of having a heart attack or lung disease. And I am thinking about quitting smoking as the problems seem to be quite serious.
Q: What do we know about the man?
正確答案:C
解析:推斷題。本題要在聽懂原文的基礎上推斷出正確答案。女士問男士咳嗽去看過醫生沒有,男士轉述醫生的話,如果繼續吸煙,那么他患心臟病或肺炎的幾率將增大,由此可推斷出男士的咳嗽是由吸煙引起的。關鍵詞和短語是cough和keep smoking。男士的回答中a heart attack和lung disease是并列結構,所以A、B均不能入選。

W: Could you tell me how many of your employees are women?
M: Yes, certainly. We have a very high percentage of female staff. We employ about 160 women, which is eighty percent of all our staff.
Q: How many of the employees in this organization are men?
正確答案:D
解析:數字題。本題關鍵是抓聽到兩個數字,“160個女職員”和“占總數的80%”,由此可算出男職員為40個。
