11.D原文:W:There were more than a hundred people at Kate's birthday party.How come she's got so many friends?
M:It's really no surprise.You know she was popular even when she was a child.
Q:What does the man imply about Kate?
推理题。问题问的是“imply〞〔暗示〕,即需要对原文进行推理。男士对Kate的说法是she was popular even when she was a child〔她是孩子时就很受欢送了〕,那么现在有一百多人参加她的生日晚会也缺乏为奇,所以选D。
12.C原文:M:They say there'll be a snow-storm tonight,and the cold weather will last quite a few days.
W:Oh!We're so lucky,we'll be getting away for a while,and having a holiday in Florida.But let's call right now to confirm our flight.
Q:What do we learn about the two speakers?
语言点:Be used to doing习惯做某事
场景题。本文的场景是两人在讨论度假方案,原文非常明确:we'll be getting away for a while,and having a holiday in Florida.已经可以判断C,They are going to have a holiday为正确答案。A、B、D都是对对话中细节的混淆,the cold weather will last只是说有寒流到来,并非they are not used to living in a cold place〔不习惯住在冷的地方〕;have a holiday in Florida也不是live in Florida;至于air ticket,原文明确说的是confirm our flight〔确认航班〕,可见已经订票。
13.B原文:W:Tony was awarded a medal for rescuing several families from the forest fire.
M:I really admire his courage.
Q:What do we learn about Tony from the conversation?
语言点:Award sb.sth./award sth.to sb.授予某人某物Accuse sb.of sth./be accused of sth.因为某事〔被〕指责
主旨题。原文说Tony因为rescuing several families from the forest fire〔丛森林大火中救出了好几家人〕而获得奖章,所以男士说I really admire his courage〔敬佩他的勇气〕,答案为B。D〔他被指责引起了大火〕明显是错误的,A〔Tony很快乐获得奖章〕及C〔Tony曾经是救火队员〕都不符合原文。
14.B原文:M:My washing machine is more than fifteen years old and it has worked just fine until last night.
W:You'll never be able to get parts for it,even from Japan.So it might be time to invest a more recent model.
Q:What does the woman suggest the man do?
语言点:Part零件Invest投资
建议题。原文有非常明显的建议句型:it might be time to do sth.〔是该做…的时候了〕,女士的建议是:So it might be time to invest a more recent model.〔是时候投资一台更新款式的洗衣机了〕,所以选B。A为干扰项,invest通常是投资的意思,但这里仅指投资买洗衣机,而非make a profitable investment〔进行有利可图的投资〕。
15.D原文:W:I heard about your promotion,you must be thrilled.
M:Not really,the new office is huge,but the work load has doubled.
Q:What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
语言点:Promotion升职Thrilled兴奋的Work load工作负担
态度题。问题问的是男士对于升职的态度,女士说you must be thrilled〔你一定很兴奋吧〕,男士答复not really,已经可以确定D为正确答案;他进一步给出了解释,虽然办公室很大,但是the work load has doubled〔工作负担增加了一倍〕,但并不能从中看出he finds the work load unbearable〔不可忍受的〕。
16.D原文:W:I can't decide what to do about the party tomorrow。
M:You don't have to go if you don't want to,but I'll be glad to give you a ride if you do。
Q:What do we learn from the conversation?
语言点:Give you a ride开车带你一段
细节题。女士不知道明天的party该不该去,男士那么说I'll be glad to give you a ride if you do〔如果你去的话,我可以开车带你〕,所以选D。此题的重点是要理解what to do,这里指的是whether to go to the party。
17.C原文:M:Now if you have any questions about the contract.I'll be happy to answer them.
W:Nothing comes to mind right now,but I'd like to go over all the articles of the contract once more before signing it.
Q:What are the speakers doing right now?
语言点:Go over仔细检查Articles of the contract合同条款。注意article这里的意思是“条款〞。
场景题。很明显两人在讨论contract,并且是在sign〔签署〕之前最后一次检查条款,所以选C。
18.A原文:M:We are out of paper for the printer.Can you please order some?
W:I completed the order form online yesterday and it will be here by noon.I'll let you know when it comes in。
Q:What did the woman do?
语言点:Be out of sth.用完了
细节题。问题问女士做了什么,答案为:I completed the order form online yesterday,买的是纸,所以选A。
