　　Conversation Two

　　W: Bill, is that really you? I haven’t seen you for months.

　　M: Hello, Christina. Yes, it has been a long time. Good to see you. How have you been?

　　W: I’ve been okay. I’ve just been so busy with school. We really should get together and catch up. How about joining me for dinner tonight?

　　M: (23) I’d love to, but I’m taking off for Miami at 8:00 tonight if everything goes well. I’m going home because my brother is getting married on Saturday morning.

　　W: That’s great. Congratulations! I hope that you have a nice time at home. You’ll just have to take a rain check on that dinner invitation.

　　M: Well, what are you doing now? Maybe we can go to the coffee shop and chat for a while. There is an attractive, little place I know of down the street.

　　W: (24) I really wish I could, but I’m on my way to the tennis courts.

　　M: Tennis courts? I didn’t know you could play tennis.

　　W: It sounds like that, but actually I can’t. (24) I’m taking lessons so I can learn. My roommate is on the tennis team and she’s gotten me interested in the sport. Do you know how to play?

　　M: A little, but I haven’t played for years. I really like the game, though. (25) When I come back from my trip, I think I’ll join you in taking lessons.

　　W: It’s a deal. Just give me a call when you get back.

　　M: You got it.

　　23. What will the man do tonight?

　　A)。由選項可知本題是對男士將要發生的動作進行判斷。寒暄后，女士提出dinner tonight，男士回答I’d love to，but…委婉拒絕了邀請。But提示后面為原因，I’m taking off for Miami，后又補充說是going home，故答案為A)。其后的rain check是“延期”的意思。

　　24. Why can’t the woman join the man for coffee?

　　C)。由選項預測本題是對原因提問。由上題可知男士無法與女士共進晚餐，因而提出了go to the coffee shop and chat for a while的建議，女士回答：I really wish I could, but…同樣委婉拒絕了邀請，并提示后面的原因，即I’m on my way to the tennis courts. I’m taking lessons.與C) 相符。

　　25. Which of the following did the man agree to do?

　　D)。由選項可知本題同樣是對男士的行為進行判斷。抓住關鍵句I’ll join you in taking lessons.即可推斷出答案為D)。
