Section A
11. M: Then why did you decide to quit your former job?
W: That’s because of the journey. It took me about two hours to get to work. Your firm is within walking distance.
Q: Why does the woman want to change her job?
【解析】選[D]。男士問女士為什么辭了以前的工作。女士說因為她每天要花兩個小時去上班，同時流露出羨慕男士的公司離其住所近，[A]錯誤。女士所說的journey，指路程而不是旅行，[B]錯誤。[C]項未提及。[D]中說女士不想在上班的路上花太多的時間，符合題意。12. W: Do you think Edward will get here on time for the job interview?
M: If he doesn’t, nobody will.
Q: What does the man mean?
【解析】選[A]。這道題關鍵在于聽懂男士的回答。女士問他Edward能否準時參加面試，男士并未直接回答，而是說：如果他不能的話，那么就沒有人能了，言外之意就是他肯定會準時到達。
13. M: Hey, you should be doing your art class now. Why are you here?
W: I realized I’ve no talent for drawing. Drama is a better alternative than those brushes.
Q: What does the woman mean?
【解析】選[D]。女士的回答中，Drama is a better alternative than those brushes是這個對話中的關鍵點。[D]項表明她已經退出了藝術課，而選擇了戲劇課，故為答案。
14. W: Oh dear, I gained these 10 pounds in the last 3 months, none of my clothes fit any more.
M: I wouldn’t complain, you look much better. In fact, you can gain another 5 pounds and still look good.
Q: What does the man mean?
【解析】選[C]。每每女士為自己的體重大驚小怪時，男士常會給予一定的安慰和勸說。對話中男士說you look much better. In fact, you can gain another 5 pounds and still look good表明，男士勸女士不應為其體重擔心。
15. M: I’d like to buy these four greeting cards. Are they ten yuan each?
W: Three of them are. But that smaller one costs only half the price of the big ones.
Q: How much will the man pay for the cards?
【解析】選[C]。這是一道綜合性的計算題，但并不復雜，只要聽到Three of them are (ten yuan each)“其中三個是每個十元”及that smaller one costs half the price of the bigger ones“小卡片的價錢是大卡片的一半”，確定應選[C]。
16. W: I know you’re busy, but how about attending a film festival tonight? Your favorite star will make an appearance.
M: You think I’d give that a miss?
Q: What does the man mean?
【解析】選[A]。女士對男士說我知道你很忙，但今晚你愿意參加一個電影節嗎，你最喜歡的明星會露面。男士反問道，你認為我會放棄這個機會嗎?實際上暗示了他肯定會去的，這和選項 [A]吻合。男士的回答中，You think I’d give that a miss?是這個對話的關鍵點。
17. W: Would you mind sending champagne and strawberries to my room at 1 a.m. please?
M: I’ll try, ma’am. But on Wednesday the kitchen staff leave at mid-night.
Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?
【解析】選[D]。champagne and strawberry、sending … to my room、kitchen staff構成了一個“在賓館談論送餐”的特定場景。
18. W: You were on the phone for a long time. To whom were you talking?
M: Oh, to Susan. She always knows the latest news in town and she couldn’t wait to see me to talk it over.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
【解析】選[B]。對話中男士不僅回答了女士的問題，還進一步提到Susan急于告知他鎮上的最新消息。選項[B] eager to pass the information she knows就是對話中couldn’t wait to see me to talk it over的同義轉述can’t wait to do sth.意為“急切地想要做某事”。
