Test 11
Section A
11.
M: I ran into our friend Mark yesterday on the street and he said he hadn't heard from you for two months.
W: Yes, I know, but I have been too busy to phone him.
Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?
正確答案:D
解析:考查推理判斷能力;關鍵是要聽懂間接引語“他(即Mark)說他兩個月沒收到你(即女士)的信了”,D正是該信息的同義表達。男士說他昨天遇到了Mark,故A不正確;選項B的內容對話中沒有提到;女士說“我太忙了,沒能給Mark打電話”,故C不正確。女士所用的“too...to... 太……而沒能……”結構是聽力中的高頻考點。
12.
M: Mr. Brown asked me to tell you that he is sorry he can't come to meet you in person. He is really too busy to make the trip.
W: That's OK. I'm glad you've come in his place.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
正確答案:C
解析:本題關鍵在于聽懂男士所用的間接引語中的“他(即Mr. Brown)不能親自來接您”和女士所用的習慣表達“我很高興您替他來”,兩者結合即為C:男士替布朗先生來接該女士,C中的on behalf of Mr. Brown相當于對話中的in his place。A為原詞的胡亂拼湊;女士說很高興男士能替布朗先生來接她,所以B、D不正確。
