Conversation Two
W: May I come in?
M: Come in, please. Do you know what time it is?
W: It's 8:20. I am very sorry to be late again. And I am also sorry to disturb you and others.
M: All right, what's your excuse this time? Don't tell me your alarm didn't go off or your watch stopped. I don't wanna hear it!
W: Excuse me, sir. I hit the rush hour. You just cannot imagine how terrible the traffic jam is.
M: Why don't you get up earlier to avoid this time?
W: I'm sorry, sir. [24]I indeed got up early, but my watch is 20 minutes slow.
M: I'm never late for work, you see. [25]I always set my watch 15 minutes fast every day.
W: Oh, that's a good idea! [25]I'll set my watch... 30 minutes fast... to avoid hitting rush hour. I promise I won't be late in future. And I hope you could forgive me once more.
M: That's right! [23]You are already late for work three times, if this happens again, you will be fired.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What's the possible relationship between the two speakers?
正確答案：A
解析：題目詢問兩個說話者之間可能是什么關(guān)系。通過對話可以知道兩在討論上班遲到的問題，因此判斷兩者的關(guān)系為A。對話最后男士說“你已經(jīng)遲到三次，如果再次遲到就會被開除。”更可確定答案為A。
24. Why is the woman late?
正確答案：C
解析：細節(jié)題。女士明確地說了“我確實很早起床，但我的表慢了20分鐘”，所以答案為C。A、B兩項是男士的問話，并非女士所做的回答；D項與對話中的內(nèi)容相悖。
25. How many minutes faster will the woman's watch be than the man's?
正確答案：C
解析：數(shù)字題。對話中女士說她的表慢了20分鐘，男士說他總是把他的表撥快15分鐘，女士覺得這是個好辦法，于是決定將她的表撥快30分鐘。因此答案為C。
