Test 11
Section A
11.
M: I had prepared dinner for eight people before Mary called and said that she and her husband could not make it.
W: That's all right. I'm just going to tell you I have invited Tom and his girlfriend.
Q: What will be the situation at dinner?
正確答案：C
解析：男士準備了8個人的飯，結果Mary夫婦不能來了，不過女士又邀請了Tom及其女友，因此就餐人數不變，即C。根據選項可以預測題目是問晚飯就餐者的情況，對話內容可能會提及就餐人數發生了變化。A和B選項意思相反：一個說人多了，一個說人少了；C選項說人數不變。答案鎖定在A、B、C中，注意聽音，看人數到底發生了什么變化。

W: Michael, did you go to the lecture on French Revolution last night? I have never heard such an interesting history lecture before.
M: Yes, wasn't it marvelous! It is said that the lecturer is a self-taught man with no university education.
Q: What did the man think of the lecturer?
正確答案：B
解析：否定詞（never）+such/so+形容詞（interesting）是對此形容詞的強調，加上反問句中的marvelous，說明對話人是高度贊揚這場講座。所以B正確。根據選項中的形容詞可以預測題目是問對某事的評價。三個選項表示貶義，一個選項表示褒義，答案往往是“另類”。
