23、TWO.You have thirty seconds to preview the questions._解析：A.Buying a house.B.Booking a room.C.Renting a house.D.Decorating a house.解析：解析：选项都是动名词短语，而且其中三个都跟房子相关，可以推测问题与房子相关。对话开头男士表明打电话过来是为了咨询租房子的事情，而且整个对话过程中都围绕租房的相关问题展开，所以本题选C。A.He wants a two-bedroomed house with garage.B.He wants a three-bedroomed h

24、ouse with garden.C.He is interested in a house in the city centre.D.He accepts the rent of the house below 350.解析：解析：原文中在提到该地区的房租时，男士表示每月350英镑的租金是他的上限，因此本题选D。女士问到男士想要找什么样的房子，男士明确回答说要带花园的两居室，所以A“他想找带车库的两居室”和B“他想找带花园的三居室”都不正确。女士提到他们的经营范围主要是市中心和北部郊区，男士表示他们对北部地区的房子比较感兴趣，因此C“他想找位于市中心的房子”不正确。A.Gas bill.B.

25、Water bill.C.Electricity bill.D.Telephone rental.解析：解析：女士提到West Park Road上的这个房子价格为325英镑，然后男士问到这个价格是否包含各项账单，女士说只包含水费，所以B的“水费”正确。A项的“燃气费”和C项的“电费”未在对话中提及，而D项的“电话月租费”是干扰项，这是在Tithe Road的房子的房租所包含的费用。A.325.B.380.C.250.D.500.解析：解析：选项都是特定的金额，预测问题问价格。当男士问女士Tithe Road的房子的房租时，女士明确告知租金为380英镑，故B为正确答案。A是位于West Par

26、k Road上的房子的价格。C和D是北部郊区地区租房价格的区间。A.He needs to give a letter from the bank.B.He needs a reference letter from the last landlord.C.He should give a 2 months notice of moving in.D.He will have to pay for the contract.解析：解析：对话中男士问到如果要向女士所在的中介公司租房，自己需要做一些什么准备。女士回答“最重要的东西就是银行的证明信”，因此A项正确。女士还提到需要“男士所在单位的推荐

27、信”和“提前两周的入住通知”，而不是“前房东的推荐信”和“提前两月的入住通知”，因此B和C不正确。选项D“男士需要支付合同费”未在对话中提及。A.At the airport.B.At the travel agency.C.In the office.D.At a tourist attraction.解析：解析：选项都是表示地点的短语，可以推测题目很可能跟对话发生的地点有关。男士了解到学校有组织一些短途的旅行。想要来了解一些相关信息，所以对话很可能是发生在学校的某一个办公室，而不是A“在机场”或B“在旅行社”，因此本题选C。下文提到了很多的旅游景地和城市，容易误选D“在一个旅游景点”。A.

28、They run three trips on weekends every month.B.They run two trips on Thursday afternoons.C.They run altogether six trips every month.D.They run trips only on weekends.解析：解析：选项都是关于旅行的时间和频率，听音时要注意相关信息。对话中女士在了解到男士前来的目的后，告知学校每月组织五次旅行，其中三次安排在周末，两次安排在周三下午，因此答案选A。A.Because they want to go shopping.B.Becaus

29、e it is not far away.C.Because the price is reasonable.D.Because it gives a good focus.解析：解析：选项都有Because，可推测本题问某事原因。男士问去什么样的地方，女士回答说会去一些提供导游服务的地方，并表明因为有导游陪同，游览目的性会增强、重点会突出，因此本题选D。B“距离近”及C“价格合理”在对话中未提及。A“他们想去购物”只是利用原文的中shopping做干扰，与本题答案无关。A.The drive is less than 3 hours.B.The holiday is long enough.

30、C.More than 12 people apply it.D.The students apply to do so.解析：解析：对话中女士提到：“如果人数超过12人，他们会组织特殊的旅行”，因此本题选C“超过12个人申请”。A“开车不足三小时”是指所有旅行，并不是单指特殊旅行。B“假期足够长”和D“学生提出申请”都未在对话中提及。A.St. Ives.B.London.C.Salisbury.D.Bath解析：解析：选项都是表示地点的名词，听音时留意并记录地点的有关信息。男士想要了解本学期安排在周末的旅行有哪些，女士提供了相关信息。四个选项中的地点女士都有提到，但是安排在3月18日的旅行目的地是Salisbury，因此本题选C。
