12. M: Excuse me, I heard that there were a couple of jobs available in the library. So I'd like to apply for one of them. Can I fill out the application form at home and bring it back next week?
W: Sure, but you should know that we're about to start looking at the applications, and we hope to make some job offers in a few days.
Q: What does the woman imply?
【解析】選[B]。男士問女士他能不能把工作申請表帶回家去填，下周再交回來。女士說他們打算開始瀏覽工作申請并希望再近幾天內發(fā)出幾份錄用通知。女士說的but you should know that...表示提醒，可見她是想暗示男士盡早把申請表交上來，以免失去機會。
13. M: That's a great dress, Cindy. I don't think I've ever seen you wear it before.
W: Oh, I have. It's just that it's sent back to my closet. My sister gave it to me like ages ago and I totally forgot about it.
Q: What does the woman imply?
【解析】選[A]。ages ago意為"很久以前"，結合it's sent back to my closet和I totally forgot about it可推知女士已經好久沒穿這件衣服了，因此選[A]。
14. W: Well, did you manage to get information from Professor Baker? When are our results coming in?
M: Well she was a bit tight-lipped about it.
Q: What can be inferred about Professor Baker?
【解析】選[B]。tight-lipped意為"嘴巴緊的"，指對某事保密、不愿透露消息。由she was a bit tight-lipped about it可知，Professor Baker不愿意就考試成績的事多說(not willing to say much)。
15. W: Who do you believe? James says Leon has been backstabbing him, but Leon claims he's innocent. It'll be hard for them to reconcile if this mess continues.
M: Well, It could be best to talk to both of them and see what lies underneath. There are two sides to every story you know.
Q: What does the man infer?
【解析】選[C]。It could be best to...表示建議。talk to both of them and see what lies underneath表明男士認為需要進一步了解情況(deeper investigation)才能弄清整件事情的是非曲直(right and wrongs of this issue)。
16. W: Did you watch the game last night?
M: I wouldn't have missed it for anything!
Q: What can we infer from the man's reply?
【解析】選[C]。I wouldn't have missed it for anything意思是"我不會因為任何事情而錯過它"，由此推測，男士應該很喜歡并觀看了昨晚的比賽。[C]項正確。
17. W: Mike is very good at electrical appliances. You should get him to take a look and see if he can do something about it.
M: Yeah, I will. But let me check and see if it's still under warranty.
Q: What will the man probably do?
【解析】選[A]。女士建議男士找Mike幫忙修理電器，男士說他要先看看是不是還在保修期內(if it's still under warranty)。保修期內的商品是可以免費維修的(be fixed for free)，因此選項[A]正確。
18. W: Wednesdays are going to be busy days for me next semester. Three class in the morning and then two more in the afternoon. I won't even have time for lunch.
M: You really should try to fit it in, you know. Those afternoon classes would be tough to sit through with empty stomach.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman should do?
【解析】選[B]。解答此題的關鍵是明確男士話中fit it in 的含義：it指代lunch，fit it in指make time for lunch，即他建議女士再忙也要抽時間吃午飯。另外由be tough to sit through with empty stomach也可以推知答案。
