36、e，意思也就有差别了。所以选 D项而不选 A项。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 事实细节题。在经过 长时间的讨论之后，他们并没有找到一部共同愿意接受的电影，而妻子在突然之间发现了电视将有一场还不错的棒球比赛，丈夫也不反对看这样的比赛，所以最后的结果是他们留在家里看电视了。因此， B项就是正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 推理判断题。 4个选项的内容看上去都有可能，我们只能根据对话逐一排除。 A错在男士没有这种感觉。 B、 C没有相应的限制词，显得太过绝对。D项则恰当地表现了女士性格的一方面，这一点从开始厌倦看电视，到挑选电影场所及内容
