17、know, but I have been too busy to phone him.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?解析 考查推理判断能力。关键是要听懂间接引语“他(即 Mark)说他两个月没收到你(即女士)的信了”,D 正是该信息的同义表达。男士说他昨天遇到了 Mark,故 A 不正确;选项 B 的内容对话中没有提到;女士说“我太忙了,没能给 Mark 打电话”,故 C 不正确。女士所用的“too. to. 太而没能”结构是听力中的高频考点。A.B.C. D.解析:解析 M: Mr. Brown asked me to tell
18、 you that he is sorry he cant come to meet you in person. He is really too busy to make the trip.W: Thats OK. Im glad youve come in his place.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?解析 本题关键在于听懂男士所用的间接引语中的“他(即 Mr. Brown)不能亲自来接您”和女士所用的习惯表达“我很高兴您替他来”,两者结合即为 C:男士替布朗先生来接该女士,C 中的 on behalf of Mr. Brown
19、相当于对话中的 in his place。A 为原词的胡乱拼凑;女士说很高兴男士能替布朗先生来接她,所以 B、D 不正确。A.B.C. D.解析:解析 M: So, when are the other guys going to get here? The train is leaving in 10 minutes. We cant wait here forever.W: Its 10:30 already. They are supposed to be here by now. I told everybody to meet here by 10:15.Q: When is the
20、 train leaving?解析 本题关键在于抓住根本的原始数据:“火车 10 分钟后就要离站了”和“现在已经 10:30 了”,故C 为答案。对话中提到的另一时间(10:15)为干扰数据(“我告诉所有人要在 10:15 之前到达这里”)。A. B.C.D.解析:解析 W: So you finally listened to your wifes advice and gave up smoking.M: It was my doctors advice. Im suffering from high blood pressure.Q: What do we learn from the
21、conversation?解析 本题关键是要听到女士说“你戒烟了”,故答案为 A。B 项是对 pressure 的断章取义,原文指的是“血压高”,B 指的是“压力大”,故错误;原文说男士听从医生的建议戒烟,因此 C、D 错误,属于故意干扰。A.B. C.D.解析:解析 W: Frank, I thought you were working in New York.M: I was. But Ive moved back. I just couldnt get used to living in a big city. So here I am, back in school, taking
22、courses for a teachers certificate.Q: What is Frank planning to do?解析 题目询问 Frank 打算做什么,显然是问将来的事。关键是要听到男士最后一句话中提供的信息“现在我回到学校学习,以获得教师资格证书。”与 B 相符,且时态合理,故 B 为答案。A 中的 move 和 D 中的 work 在对话中都是过去的事,所以不正确;C 中的 go back 与对话中“here I am, back in school”所表达的现状也不符。(分数:21.00)A.B.C.D. 解析:解析 M: Washing dishes in the
23、 restaurant every day is really boring.W: Why dont you quit and deliver flowers for me?Q: What does the woman advise the man to do?解析 建议题。本题关键在于抓听女士说的“你为什么不辞职来替我送花呢?” D 中的 leave his job 与对话中的 quit 同义;对话中的 deliver flowers for me 在 D 中概括为 work forher。deliver flowers 是替女士给客户送花,不是 C 中 bring her flowers(
24、送花给该女士)的意思。A 中的 quit delivering “停止送”与对话不符。男士现在就在一家餐馆工作,B 说的是现状,故不正确。A.B. C.D.解析:解析 M: Can I borrow your math textbook? I lost mine on the bus.W: Youve asked the right person. I happen to have an extra copy.Q: What does the woman mean?解析 本题关键在于听懂习惯表达“你问对人了(Youve asked the right person)。”男士向女士借数学课本,女
25、士说“你问对人了。我碰巧有一本多余的。”说明她可以帮助男士。A 是对 Youve asked the right person 的曲解。A. B.C.D.解析:解析 W: Hello, this is Dr. Grays office. Were calling to remind you of your 4:15 appointment for your annual check-up tomorrow.M: Oh, thanks. Its a good thing youve called. I thought it was 4:15 today.Q: What do we learn f
26、rom the conversation?解析 本题关键在于抓住时间的对比和口语表达“Its a good thing youve called. I thought.幸亏你打来电话,我还以为”体检预约在第二天,但男士以为是当天,故答案为 A(他差点弄错了预约的日期)。Conversation One(分数:28.00)(1).A. Running an antique shop. B. Different kinds of advertisements.C. Advertising on the newspaper. D. Launching a weekend program.(分数:7.

32、 to be read by women. and we know onwhat days they read it.M: Amazing. I will ask my wife. She knows a lot more about that than I do. I will come back to you for help tomorrow.19. What is the conversation mainly about?解析 主旨题。男士想知道怎样在报纸上登广告,此后工作人员一直在为他介绍登广告的费用、具体的登法等等,因此答案为 C。A、B 两项在对话中虽然提到了,但并不是对话者谈
33、论的主题;D 在对话中并未提及。(2).A. Different types of ads cost differently.B. The more expensive an ad is, the more people will notice it.C. The larger the ad is, the more it costs.D. The more frequent the ad is, the more it costs.(分数:7.00)A.B. C.D.解析:解析 What is not true about the rate of advertising on newspap
34、er?解析 细节题。女士的介绍非常清晰:广告类型不同价格也不同,主要考虑两点:一是版面大小,二是出现频率。A、C、D 分别符合这三条。只有 B 是对“你的广告版面越大,花费就越多并且有更多的人注意到它”这句话的断章取义(后面两个 the more. 结构是并列关系,不是因果关系),故答案为 B。(3).A. Most people prefer to advertise on weekends.B. More people pay more attention to ads on weekends.C. Newspaper ad department is busier on weekends
35、.D. Advertisements on weekends look more interesting.(分数:7.00)A.B.

36、women.C. Ask his wife for more money and come back the next day.D. Know more about the antique shop customers.(分数:7.00)A.B.C.D. 解析:解析 What does the woman suggest the man do before running the ads?解析 细节题。男士的太太要开古玩店,男士向女士询问什么时间登广告最好,女士并没有正面回答,而是说因为不同的目标人群需要不同的广告刊登方案,所以要了解客人的情况,她才能真正帮上忙,故答案为 D。Conversa
