答案及解析:
11. W: What a fascinating speaker! It was really food for thought.
M: Oh, I’m not sure I’d go along with you there. I kept drifting off quite a few times.
Q: What did the man think of the speaker?
【解析】11选[D]。food for thought指“精神食粮”。I’m not sure I’d go along with you there表明男士并不同意女士的看法。drifting off ≈ gradually fall asleep,意为“昏昏”,由kept drifting off quite a few times可知,男士觉得演讲人的话很无聊、乏味(too boring)。
12. W: I can’t believe it. I have been waiting for this latest show for ages and it totally slipped my mind.
M: Don’t be too upset about it. You might be able to catch it since the organizers are thinking to have another opening next week.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman to do?
【解析】12选[B]。女士因为忘了去看表演(it totally slipped my mind)而懊恼不已,男士说筹办方正考虑重新组织一次表演,可见他是想建议女士耐心等待,看是否还有一次机会,选项[B]与此相符。encore意为“再唱或再表演”。
13. W: I hear you’re working as a market surveyor this summer. It’s got to be awfully difficult asking the same old questions every day.
M: Well, it is challenging work, but I get to meet lots of new people and the pay is decent enough.
Q: What does the man think of his new job?
【解析】13选[B]。decent用在口语中指“相当好的,像样的”,the pay is decent enough ≈rewarding,再结合but前面的it is challenging work可知[B]为答案。
14. M: I think I’ll read ahead a few chapters, just to get the general picture.
W: Try pacing yourself. Slowly but surely you’ll underst????????http://www.hjbbs.com/©版权所有沪江网????????and it all.
Q: What does the woman suggest?
【解析】14选[C]。男士打算往前多读几章,了解书中梗概。女士建议他不要心急,并表示慢慢读来最后终归会理解全书的意思。pace oneself意为“调整做某事的速度”,这表明女士认为男士不应该以太快的速度一下子读太多(learn too much too fast)。
15. W: My headaches are terrible. Maybe I need more sleep.
M: Actually, you need less sun and some aspirin. Plus it would help you if you wear a hat. The sun is too bright.
Q: What most probably caused the woman’s headache?
【解析】15选[D]。结合男士话中的you need less sun, wear a hat及The sun is too bright推测,女士头疼的原因很可能是阳光太强烈了,选项[D]正确。Actually常暗示对前面内容的否定,即男士并不认为女士是因为缺乏睡眠才头疼。
16. M: How was your dinner at the new French restaurant yesterday?
W: We didn’t eat there. We drove all the way down there only to find it’s not open on Monday, so we had our dinner at the small Chinese restaurant next door.
Q: What did the woman say about the new French restaurant?
【解析】16选[D]。only to find后常接不好的或令人意想不到结果。it’s not open on Monday, so we had our dinner at the small Chinese restaurant表明女士并没有去成新开的法国餐厅,因此她也就不会知道那里的食物味道如何,选项[D]正确。
17. W: I appreciate your professional opinion. Do you think I should invest in the project?
M: Under no circumstances should you do that.
