W: Bill is a person who is very shy and quiet. He rarely says a thing. I just can't bear with him sometimes as he speaks too little.
M: Oh, but his brother Jerry is just the opposite.
Q: What do you know from this conversation about Jerry?
正確答案：A
解析：解答本題，兩個人的話都要聽懂。女士說Bill非常害羞且安靜，很少說話；男士說他的哥哥Jerry則恰恰相反，所以答案選A。A項(xiàng)意為“性格開朗，健談”。

M: I have to go to Professor Hudson's place to discuss my thesis. But if time allowed, I'd go to the movies with you when I come back the dorm.
W: It's too bad. I am going to the cinema right now with Jane, and I don't think you could make it.
Q: What is the man going to do?
正確答案：A
解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。預(yù)讀選項(xiàng)可知，問題問的是He要做什么，所以在聽音時一定要注意抓聽男士要做的動作。答案選A，即男士要去教授家里，而But后面的純屬干擾信息，虛擬語氣本身就表明不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的情況。
