Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: What do you think of my new sweater, Tracy?
W: Well. It's very nice as far as I can see, but put it on first, then I'll tell you if it suits you.
M: I tried on about twenty. This one isn't really what I wanted.
W: Why did you buy it then?
M: The salesman sold it to me before I realized what had happened. [20]He just never stopped talking and he told me some stories about the latest fashion and special reductions. Before I could say anything he'd wrapped it up and taken my money.
W: Well, it doesn't look too bad. I think it looks good on you.
M: But I went out to get a blue sweater with a V-neck, short sleeves and pattern, [21]and I came home with a brown one with a high neck, long sleeves and no pattern.
W: You must be easily taken in. [22]You've got to learn to stand up to these high-pressure salesmen. They'll sell you all sorts of things you don't want if you don't watch out.
M: Next time I'll send my wife. She'll probably sell something to the salesman.
W: That's a good idea. Actually women are good at shopping. Whenever my husband and I buy something important, I have the final say.
M: I must admit that women have better taste in shopping. I should simply leave the whole business to them.
W: Yes, I agree.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is the main idea of this conversation?
正確答案:B
解析:主旨題。男士一開始就說他買的并不是他想要的,所以A項(xiàng)可以排除。緊接著他又抱怨推銷員鼓動(dòng)他,在他還沒有反應(yīng)過來的情況下就把東西賣給他了。C、D項(xiàng)是對話中提到的部分內(nèi)容,并非重點(diǎn)所在。因此,選項(xiàng)B為答案。
20. Why does the man buy a sweater which he doesn't like?
正確答案:D
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。男士說推銷員不停地向他介紹,這件sweater是最流行的式樣,而且有很優(yōu)惠的折扣,他還沒弄明白怎么回事就付了錢。男士還不清楚情況就付錢很明顯是中了推銷員的圈套,所以答案是D項(xiàng)。A項(xiàng)對話中并沒有提到,而B、C兩項(xiàng)是推銷員的理由。
21. Which character is not true about the sweater that the man buys?
正確答案:A
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是表特征的詞,問題有可能是詢問哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)正確或錯(cuò)誤,聽音時(shí)要注意利用選項(xiàng)做筆記,選項(xiàng)A沒有提到,因此為答案。其他三個(gè)特征(高領(lǐng)、長袖、無圖案)都是原詞的同義表達(dá)。
22. What is the woman's suggestion?
正確答案:C
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。聽了男士的敘述,女士認(rèn)為他容易受騙,建議他學(xué)會(huì)怎樣拒絕(原文中的stand up to即C中的turn down)那些強(qiáng)行推銷的人。因此,答案為C。A、D兩項(xiàng)是男士的意思,女士只是表示了贊同。女士講她自己在家里擁有final say,而不是指男士的妻子,所以B項(xiàng)不正確。
