Conversation Two
M: Hi. I have a reservation for tonight. My name is Charles Nelson.
W: Okay. Mr. Nelson. That's a room for five under your name.
M: No. No. Hold on. [23]There must be some mistake.
W: Okay. Let's check this again. Okay, Mr. Charles C. Nelson for tonight...
M: Ah. There's the problem. My name is Charles Nelson, not Charles C. Nelson. [24]You must have two guests under the name.
W: Okay. Let me check this again. Oh. Okay. Here we are. Charles Nelson. A room for one for the 19th...
M: Wait, wait! It was for tonight. Not tomorrow night.
W: Hum. Hum. I don't think we have any rooms for tonight. [24]There's a convention going on in town, and uh, let's see. Yeah, no rooms. Well. We do have some rooms under renovation with just a roll-away bed. None of the normal stuff like a TV or working shower or toilet.
M: Ah madam. Come on. There must be something else.
W: Well. Let me check my computer here. Ah! There has been a cancellation for this evening. [25]A honeymoon suite is now available.
M: Great. I'll take it.
W: [25]But I'll have to charge you two hundred fifty dollars for the night.
M: Ah. Madam. I should get a discount for the inconvenience.
W: Well. [25]The best I can give you is a ten percent discount plus a ticket for a free continental breakfast.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What was the first problem with the man's reservation?
正確答案：A
解析：男士在入住酒店時，遇到了一系列難題：首先，他自報家門時，服務(wù)員把他和另一個同名同姓的人搞混淆了；其次，他原訂的這一天的房間沒有了，第2天才有房間；第三，其他房間也都已訂滿，只有正在裝修中的臨時房。本題問他遇到的第1個問題，故選A。本對話前面開頭部分一直在說人名。聽到有關(guān)name，mistake，problem，have two guests under the name即可確定答案。
24. Why was it hard to get a room that day?
正確答案：C
解析：女士在解釋房子緊張的原因時說，“我想我們今晚是沒房子了。城里正在開一個會……”conference即convention之義，故C正確。A、C句型一致，區(qū)別在conference和marathon（馬拉松長跑）上；B“幾乎所有酒店都在翻修”顯然不合常理；D中的時間在對話中未提及。
25. What did the man get finally?
正確答案：B
解析：女士查到有人取消訂房，那是一個蜜月套房，每晚需250美元。男士表示要住這個套房，但要求打折。女士說：“我最多給你打9折，另外再免費送一張歐洲大陸式早餐用餐券”。可見男士最后得到的是以225美元住一晚蜜月套房，并獲得免費的西式早餐。故B正確。
