W: Professor Neon, a few of us at the back didn't get the copy of your reading assignment.
M: Well, there are only 38 names on my class list, and I didn't bring any spare copies.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
正確答案：C
解析：考查推理判斷能力。關(guān)鍵是要聽到男士說“我沒帶備用的材料”，可知教室里的學(xué)生比名單上的多，故選C而排除D。選項(xiàng)A、B的內(nèi)容均為原文的斷章取義。

M: Congratulations, Li Ming. You're the talk of the town and the pride of our class now.
W: If you are referring to my winning the English speech contest, I don't think it such a big deal. You know, I've spent two summer vacations learning English in Canada.
Q: What do we learn about Li Ming from the conversation?
正確答案：B
解析：男士恭喜女士成了小鎮(zhèn)上的名人和班上的驕傲，女士說“我認(rèn)為這沒什么了不起的”，說明她很謙虛，因此B為答案而A錯(cuò)。C錯(cuò)在two years；選項(xiàng)D所說的與女士的實(shí)際態(tài)度恰好相反，她是班級(jí)的pride，不是說她很proud。
