17、 We can go to see a movie on Friday. 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节复现题。本题的答案出现在对话的一开始，比较容易听到，关键是要了解原话的确切意思是什么。事实上，她想表达的意思是 “她厌倦了看电视 ”，所以才建议去看电影。选项的正确答案是 D项，它采用了同义替换的方式，把 “be tire of”换成了 “be sick of”，意思没有本质变化。 A项保留了该词组，但是宾语换成了 staying home，意思也就有差别了。所以选 D项而不选 A项。 【知识模块】 对话 2 【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
18、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】 对话 3 【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都有所体 现，所以应是最合适的推理判断。 【知识模块】 对话 4 【听力原文】 W: Are you visiting San Francisco

30、s the right height for you.

31、我用它来带我上下班。 ”这两句话很鲜明地显示出 John买自行车的目的，所以答案为B。 【知识模块】 对话 12 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节判断题。当 John解释说自己钱不多，仅有的 150美元能否卖到像样的车的时候， Laura说道： “在后面我们有一些折价旧车，他们的车况还不错。 ”选项中的后两项内容根本没有出现过，所以很容易排除。 A项明显与 John初衷相反 (I dont want a racer)，因此 Laura不可能会建议他买 racing bicycle。正确选项应该是 B项。 【知识模块】 对话 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 态度判断题。 Laura在对
32、话的结尾表述了自己认为买车时应该关注的地方，首先她说一定要注意车的舒适性，要 John来试一下是否合适他自己的高度。这就说明，她认为适合的高度是至关重要的，因此 A项便是我们应该选择的。尽管其他选项所列的内容也是我们日常买车时关注的点。但是对话中并没提及。所以不选。 【知识模块】 对话 14 【听力原文】 W: What are you doing?
