Conversation Two
M: Hi, honey! What's going on?
W: I have great news to tell you. I just found out that I was accepted as an R.A. next year!
M: That's really great news! [24]I'm sorry that you had to postpone your studying abroad because I lost my job. I just interviewed at a home grocery delivery business, so we'll see if I get hired.
W: Don't worry. Everything will be OK!
M: I think so. Don't forget I'm an optimist.
W: Eh, dad, I want to talk with you about declaring a major in anthropology. Business isn't the best choice for me.
M: Well, I don't know why you can't declare your own major. [23]If this is what you really want to do, then your mother and I will support your decision.
W: Thanks, dad! I just want you to know that I will make you proud!
M: Your mother and I are already proud of you.
W: Thanks, dad. I am really interested in anthropology and I promise that I will become a success with my degree.
M: We believe in you!
W: Well, [25]I'd better hang up. I have a lot of reading to catch up on before finals. Talk to you soon!

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. Which is true about the man according to the conversation?
正確答案：B
解析：細節題。男士是一個樂觀主義者，對失業并不絕望，A項顯然錯誤。同時他表示，只要是女士喜歡的專業，自己都無條件支持她，故C項錯誤而B項正確。D為無關選項。預讀選項可推測問題與男士有關，因此聽音時可一一對選項做出正誤判斷，聽到問題后再提取符合要求的選項。
24. Why does the man feel sorry?
正確答案：C
解析：細節題男士感到抱歉是因為自己使女士不得不postpone“推遲”她出國留學的時間，答案為C項。A項并不是男士感到抱歉的真正原因，但它有可能先入為主，對考生產生極強的干擾。
25. Where does this conversation most probably take place?
正確答案：D
解析：推理判斷題。在對話快結束時，女士明確說她得掛電話了，抓住關鍵詞hang up就不難得出答案為D。
