M: I think you'd better find another partner. I love table tennis, but I don't think I am improving.
W: Look, Paul. It's still too early to quit. Nobody expects you to be a superstar. Just keep going and you will get the hang of it.
Q: What does the woman mean?
正確答案：D
解析：本題關(guān)鍵在于聽到女士說“現(xiàn)在放棄為時過早”，D中的give up相當(dāng)于對話中的quit，故D正確。

M: Would you like to try the banana pie? It's incredible.
W: Well, to tell the truth, I don't care much for dessert.
Q: What does the woman say about the banana pie?
正確答案：B
解析：本題關(guān)鍵在于聽懂女士所說的“我不太喜歡……（I don't care much for...）”，說明她對香蕉派沒什么興趣。sth. doesn't appeal to sb. 意思是“某物對某人沒有吸引力”，故答案為B。
