W: I want to go to the Chinese Vsia Office in Central. It's by the Hong Kong Park. Here it's marked on this map.
M: OK, I know where you mean.
Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?
解析:B。女士說:“我想去中環的中國簽證辦公室,它在香港公園旁邊,這兒,標在地圖上這個位置。”(中環是香港的一個繁華地方。)表明女士是給出租車司機說明自己的目的地,故B正確。

W: The weather forecast said that we would have another wonderful day tomorrow. Shall we go and climb Mount Tai?
M: Good idea. But we'd better leave very early, or else we'll get caught in the traffic.
Q: What does the man suggest?
解析:D。對于女士的建議(“我們爬泰山怎么樣?”),男士說:“好的,但我們得一大早動身,否則就會遇上交通堵塞。”因此D正確。典型的“中But題”。男士在簡短回答后,用But提出自己的看法,是解題要點。leave與set off 為同義表達。
