13. M: Hey, you should be doing your art class now. Why are you here?

　　W: I realized I've no talent for drawing. Dmp3a is a better alternative than those　brushes.

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　【解析】選[D]。女士的回答中，Dmp3a is a better alternative than those brushes是這個對話中的關(guān)鍵點。[D]項表明她已經(jīng)退出了藝術(shù)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(jié)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(guān)鍵點。
