Conversation Two
W: Hello, Sam. This is Paula Hanson. Sorry to bother you, but I'm having a small problem I thought you might be able to help me with.
M: Sure, Paula. What's up?
W: Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall. The dishwasher broke down, so we reported it to Ms. Corners, the owner. She said she'd take care of it, but a month went by and nothing happened.
M: Did you get back in touch with her?
W: I got a repairperson to give me an estimate, and then I sent it to her. When I didn't hear from her, I had the repair done. And [24]I deducted the cost from the rent check.
M: So what's the problem?
W: She called here. Very Angry. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. [23]Now, she's threatening to force us to leave for not paying the full rent.
M: Hold on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But I'm sure you can all sit down and work this out.
W: Well, [25]you're over at the law school. So, I wondered if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk with Ms. Corners. We're supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight.
M: Sure. I'll be glad to help you straighten things out. Why don't I stop by about 7:30?
W: Thanks, Sam. You are our lifesaver.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What is Paula's problem?
正確答案：A
解析：女士提到：“現在，因為沒有支付足夠的房租，房東威脅說要強迫我們搬出去。”即，Paula的問題是A。選項A正好是對原文threatening to force us to leave的同義改寫。B、C、D均與原文所說內容不致。
24. Why is Ms. Corners angry?
正確答案：A
解析：女士說，她自己找人修了洗碗機，并把維修費從房租中扣除了。這惹得房東太太很生氣。故A正確。聽錄音時，對相關內容予以判斷可知，只有A中包含的兩點內容完全正確。由此，不聽問題也可以得到答案。
25. Why does Paula think Sam can help her?
正確答案：A
解析：女士說：“你是法學院的學生，所以我想在我和Sarah與房東太太理論時請你也過來。”故A正確。選項均說Sam熟悉、知道或擅長某事，說到Sam的一些能力，聽錄音時要格外留意相關信息。
