Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: This food is terrible! I can't even finish my dinner.
M: I know, You think with all the money we paid for room and board, the university could hire a better food service. Where are you headed next?
W: [19]I'm going over to the student recreation center to play some bridge.
M: You are spending your time on a card game?
W: Not just any card game. It's one of the most strategic games.
M: So I have heard. Don't you play with a partner?
W: Yeah! Four people play, two against the other two.
M: So, you try to play in cooperation with your partner?
W: Actually, the cards of one of the four players are turned face up. That player is called the dummy.
M: I wouldn't want to be called that. When you are the dummy, what do you do while the cards are being played?
W: Anything you want. Sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone... [20]I like to stand behind my partner and watch. That is very interesting.
M: You know, I've heard that bridge is habit-forming. [21]You should be careful not to play so much that you don't get your studying done.
W: Don't worry about me. I only play cards on Thursday after dinner, and sometimes when they need a fourth player. If you like, I could teach you.
M: Thanks, [22]but I have a pretty heavy workload this semester. I already spend my evenings doing things I don't really know how to do yet.
W: I know you are busy, but sometimes you need to have a rest.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. How does the woman plan to spend her evening?
正確答案:C
解析:女士說:“我打算去學生娛樂中心打橋牌。”故答案為C。-ing選項,問動作,要注意對話中的動詞。選項C是原文的同義替換。
20. What will the woman probably do if she is the dummy?
正確答案:A
解析:女士說:“我喜歡站在搭檔身后看著她/他打牌。”和A相符合。四個選項都是動賓結構,應當就某種具體行為提問。答題時要抓住原文中的關鍵動詞:或者原詞再現,或者是同義替換。一方對另一方問題的回答,常常就是考點。
21. What does the man warn the woman not to do?
正確答案:D
解析:男士說,你不要打牌打得太過分忘了學習。所以D正確。原形動詞選項,一般問打算、建議、勸告,猜測題目可能是問對女士的建議。聽到什么選什么。
22. Why doesn't the man accept the woman's offer?
正確答案:D
解析:男士說:“我這學期的任務非常重。”表示他太忙了,所以沒有時間去玩牌。所以D正確。四個選項都和He相關,且內容都表示他不打牌,故可基本推斷出題目。注意聽but后面的信息。
