W: I am so miserable! I broke up with David last weekend and I don't know how to live without him.
M: Got you. But it's not the end of the world. There are plenty more fish in the sea you know.
Q: What does the man mean?
正確答案：A
解析：女士說自己覺得很難過，因為周末與David分手了，男士認為這不是世界末日，“海里的魚多著呢”即“天涯何處無芳草”之意。故答案是A。抓住各選項的關鍵點，A和B是否寫與David的交往，C是肯定了兩人的交往；D與是否和David交往無關，可見“否定態(tài)度”選項居多，可以在讀選項的時候初步鎖定在“否定”的選項上。

W: I just made up a quart of orange juice this morning, and I put it in the kitchen. But now I can't find it anywhere. Have you seen it by any chance?
M: Did you hear a crash earlier? That was it. I'm as clumsy as ever.
Q: What does the man mean?
正確答案：D
解析：女士說自己今天早上榨的橙汁不見了，問男士有沒有看到。男士問女士有沒有聽到打碎東西的聲音？那就是果汁的容器發(fā)出來的，都怪自己笨手笨腳。說明是男士把東西打破了，故答案是D。選項A和D同時出現(xiàn)了“打破東西”的意思，應引起注意，答案很可能就是確定“誰”打破東西的那一項。
