Conversation One
W: [19]Hey Neal, now that the midterms are over a bunch of us are getting away for the weekend to go canoeing. You want to come along?
M: Well, uhm, it'd be great to get away, but I've never done it before.
W: None of the others have either except for me. I went once last fall. But there'll be an instructor in each canoe the first day.
M: I don't know.
W: Oh, come on. [20]This is our last chance to take a break before finals. The scenery is beautiful, and if it gets too hot we can dive in whenever we feel like it. The river's really calm this time of the year, no rapids to deal with.
M: That's a relief. What would I have to bring?
W: Let's see. Tom's bringing food for the Friday night cookout for everyone. [21]And the people who run the trip have tents set up and they supply food and drinks for all day Saturday. On the way back Sunday morning we'll stop somewhere for breakfast. [21]So, you have to bring a bathing suit and a sleeping bag.
M: Well, I do love camping and sleeping out. Where is this place?
W: Well, it's about an hour and a half to the place where we meet the trip leaders. We leave our car there and they drive us and the canoes upriver to the place where we start canoeing.
M: And who's driving us to the meeting place?
W: Well, I was hoping we could take your car. Mine's in the shop again.
M: Oh, I see.
It's not me you want, it's my car.
W: Don't be silly.
So what would you say?
M: Oh, why not!
W: Great! [22]I'll give you a call when I find out when everyone wants to leave on Friday.

答案解析：
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is the main reason the woman calls the man?
[D]解析：對(duì)話開始，女士說(shuō)：“既然期中考試結(jié)束了，我們有幾個(gè)人打算周末出去劃獨(dú)木舟。愿意一起去嗎？”她在邀男士和同學(xué)一起劃船，故D正確。
20. What is one of the attractions the woman tells the man about canoeing?
[A]解析：男士聽到邀請(qǐng)，說(shuō)很樂(lè)意去，但擔(dān)心沒(méi)有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。女士為了打消其顧慮，說(shuō)其他人也沒(méi)有經(jīng)驗(yàn)，又說(shuō)：“在期末考試前，這是我們放松一下的最后機(jī)會(huì)了。”A與此一致。
21. What is one thing the man has to bring?
[C]解析：女士說(shuō)：“所以你得自己帶泳衣和睡袋。”C正確。表示具體物體的名詞選項(xiàng)表明，此題問(wèn)某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)（而非全文主旨）。此類題的做題辦法是：首先，看四個(gè)選項(xiàng)在原文是否提及。若原文只提及（或沒(méi)有提及）其中一個(gè)選項(xiàng)，則該選項(xiàng)很可能是答案。其次，若每個(gè)選項(xiàng)都有所提及，就需要記住與這些選項(xiàng)相關(guān)的信息。語(yǔ)義強(qiáng)調(diào)之處的信息往往是答案。
22. What will the woman confirm with the man soon?
[A]解析：在對(duì)話結(jié)尾處，女士說(shuō)：“好的，等我弄清星期五大家想什么時(shí)候出發(fā)時(shí)，我會(huì)給你打電話的。”可見女士要向男士確認(rèn)的是具體的出發(fā)時(shí)間，A正確。
