Test 11
Section A
11.
M: I had prepared dinner for eight people before Mary called and said that she and her husband could not make it.
W: That's all right. I'm just going to tell you I have invited Tom and his girlfriend.
Q: What will be the situation at dinner?
正确答案：C
解析：男士准备了8个人的饭，结果Mary夫妇不能来了，不过女士又邀请了Tom及其女友，因此就餐人数不变，即C。根据选项可以预测题目是问晚饭就餐者的情况，对话内容可能会提及就餐人数发生了变化。A和B选项意思相反：一个说人多了，一个说人少了；C选项说人数不变。答案锁定在A、B、C中，注意听音，看人数到底发生了什么变化。

12.
W: Michael, did you go to the lecture on French Revolution last night? I have never heard such an interesting history lecture before.
M: Yes, wasn't it marvelous! It is said that the lecturer is a self-taught man with no university education.
Q: What did the man think of the lecturer?
正确答案：B
解析：否定词（never）+such/so+形容词（interesting）是对此形容词的强调，加上反问句中的marvelous，说明对话人是高度赞扬这场讲座。所以B正确。根据选项中的形容词可以预测题目是问对某事的评价。三个选项表示贬义，一个选项表示褒义，答案往往是“另类”。
