M: Hi, Cathy, how did you find yesterday's speech competition?
W: Well, to be honest, it was quite disappointing.
M: You didn't like the speeches?
W: Yes, I did. In fact, I enjoyed listening to most of the speeches. But I just couldn't accept the result, you know.
M: Hmm, you mean the judges?
W: I mean most of the listeners including me didn't understand why the judges didn't like Samantha. It was such a shock when they announced the winner was Jim. We all thought Samantha's pronunciation was the best.
M: You're probably right. But don't you think the speech itself is more important? As I see it, Jim's speech was more meaningful. I was deeply moved by the story he told us.
W: But, in my opinion, we also learned something very important from Samantha's speech.
M: That's right. Samantha and Jim were indeed very close. I guess it was difficult for the judges.
W: Well, I wish I could agree with you. But I do think Samantha was the best.
答案解析：
(1) 正確答案為C。根據(jù)But I just couldn't accept the result.我只是不能接受結(jié)果。可知，女子對比賽結(jié)果很失望，因此C項正確。

(2) 正確答案為A。根據(jù)It was such a shock when they announced the winner was Jim.當(dāng)裁判宣布獲勝者是吉姆的時候，大家都非常震驚。A項astonished表示驚訝，吃驚，與shock是同義詞，因此A項正確。

(3) 正確答案為A。對話中男子認(rèn)為Jim's speech was more meaningful.吉姆的演講更有意義，后又表示吉姆和薩曼莎的演講很接近，而女子則認(rèn)為Samantha's pronunciation was the best. 薩曼莎的發(fā)音是最好的，后來表示I do think Samantha was the best.我認(rèn)為薩曼莎的演講是最好的。可知，二人在誰的演講更好這個問題上意見不同，因此A項正確。B項和C項只說到了片面問題，排除。
