答案及解析：
11. W: What a fascinating speaker! It was really food for thought.
M: Oh, I’m not sure I’d go along with you there. I kept drifting off quite a few times.
Q: What did the man think of the speaker?
【解析】11選[D]。food for thought指“精神食糧”。I’m not sure I’d go along with you there表明男士并不同意女士的看法。drifting off ≈ gradually fall asleep，意為“昏昏”，由kept drifting off quite a few times可知，男士覺得演講人的話很無聊、乏味(too boring)。
12. W: I can’t believe it. I have been waiting for this latest show for ages and it totally slipped my mind.
M: Don’t be too upset about it. You might be able to catch it since the organizers are thinking to have another opening next week.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman to do?
【解析】12選[B]。女士因為忘了去看表演(it totally slipped my mind)而懊惱不已，男士說籌辦方正考慮重新組織一次表演，可見他是想建議女士耐心等待，看是否還有一次機會，選項[B]與此相符。encore意為“再唱或再表演”。
