28、 you need them for? M: Theres so much stuff piling up in my dormitory room. If I dont do something soon, I wont be able to move in there. W: Do you usually order from a catalog? M: Sometimes. Why?

41、： “Blake受伤前他们还是很棒的，但缺少了他在进攻方面的影响，他们就再也进不了球了。 ”由此可见，是 Blake受伤影响了球队。答案是 A。出题之处已有多重语义特征：女士连说两次 “我不明白 ”；男士对此表示赞同，并在反问 “真的能这么说吗 ?”之后用 because(重要的信号词 )说出理由。因此，一听到 Blake got injured即可马上得到 A。 【知识模块】 长对话听力 17 【听力原文】 M: Hi, Shelley.
