26、 really cant ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we? W: No, of course not. But Im not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine its the same for the others in the office. M: Hum. could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When TAs have to talk with the students, they could go
27、 to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, theres a room down the hall, a rather small room that we could ask to use. Its only for storing supplies.

29、about Stans suggestion? 9 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 选项是四个相关性不大的话题，预测可能是主旨题。女士开头便说明想找男士谈谈办公室的环境，男士指出办公室很吵，女士进一步表示 “那正是我想要指出的 (getting at)”，由此可知，对话主要和 B相关。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 选项都围绕 Jack展开，所以听到 Jack这个名字时，要特别注意。根据 “杰克常常让学生进来给他们辅导 ”，可判断 A正确。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 选项 分别是可以采取的方式，此题为细节题。根据男士所说 “我们可以请
30、求得到会议室之类的吗 ?”选 A。对话中 Stan问道： “有人就此事与杰克谈过吗 ?”这并非建议，故不选 B项； C项在对话中已被否认； D项未提及。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 选项是对男士所提建议的评价。当男士告诉女士那个房间并不小时，女士马上说： “细想一下，也许你言之有理。我想看看那个房间。我们可以现在去那儿吗 ?”所以选 A。其实选项 B与 C有相似性，所以肯定都是错的； D未提及。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【听力原文】 M: The weather forecast says it will rain today.

W: Perhaps hed make a good reference source in the section where we include counter-arguments to our main thesis. M: Good thinking. Lets give it a s
35、hot. W: Thats the spirit! 13. Why does the woman seem unconvinced that it will rain today? 14. Why do the man and woman want to talk to Mr. Simpson? 15.

37、的同义替换，故 A正确。 B、 C、 D均与长对话中的含义相反，均不正确。长对话中对问句的答语往往是考点所在。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 16 【听力原文】 Yellow Pages advertising is directory advertising because it tells people where to go to get the product or service.
