Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension
Section A
11. M: Why don’t you come to our home for dinner some time this week? I have practiced to improve my cooking.
W: I’d like to, but we have visitors from Finland, perhaps next week.
Q: Why can’t the woman accept the man’s invitation?
【解析】B)。四个选项都是关于女士,由此暗示对话当中应该更加重视与女士有关的部分。男士邀请女士去他家吃晚饭(come to our home for dinner),女士说这个星期有芬兰来的客人(visitors from Finland)要招待,可能要下个星期去。因为女士这个星期有客人,所以女士不能接受男士的邀请。故正确答案为B)。
12. M: I hope I won’t oversleep. I’ve simply got to catch the first flight to New York.
W: If I were you, I’d request the wake-up call from the hotel reception.
Q: What does the woman advise the man do?
【解析】D)。四个选项都是不定式,由此可以推断,本题的内容可能是目的或者动作。 女士说,如果我是你(If I were you),就会要旅店提供叫醒电话(wake-up call)。由此可见,女士建议男士ask for a wake-up call,正确答案为D)。
13. M: I really had a busy week. I want to get some rest. I always enjoy a nap on Saturday afternoon.
W: I don’t think you can. Mr. Smith has just parked his car at the door, and he is coming up now.
Q: What can we learn from this conversation?
【解析】B)。四个选项都更侧重男士方面,由此暗示对话当中应该更加注意与男士相关的部分。 男士一般都在星期六下午睡个午觉(enjoy a long siesta on Saturday afternoon),但女士说Mr. Smith已经在门口停车,马上就来了(parked his car at the door,he is coming up)。由此可以推断,男士今天不能睡午觉了(won’t be able to enjoy a nap)。故正确答案为B)。
14. W: How is George doing? Is he doing all right?
M: He is doing fine now. He planned to change his job for a while but finally decided to keep the present one.
Q: What can we learn about George in this conversation?
【解析】B)。四个选项都是有关George和工作的关系,对工作的看法和态度,由此可以推测,本题的内容是关于George和工作的。 George的工作现在做得不错(doing fine)。虽然他想过换工作(planned to change his job),但是他决定保留现有的工作(keep the present one)。故正确答案为B)。
15. W: Good morning. This is Dr.Allen’s office.
M: Good morning. I’d like to make an appointment with Dr.Allen to have my teeth cleaned and checked. I’d like to have it done this week if possible.
Q: Who is the woman?
【解析】C)。四个选项都是表示身份的词,由此可以推测,本题的内容是关于某人的身份。男士要和牙医预约洗牙和检查(have my teeth cleaned and checked)。由此可见,女士应该是牙医诊所的接待员(receptionist)。故C)为正确答案。
