单选题
A.Tom's personality. B.The temperature. C.A heated argument. D.The style of a hat.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Tom is such a good-hearted friendly guy. W: Do you really think so? I hear he's got a hot temper. When you talk about something that he doesn't agree with, he'll start a heated argument at the drop of a hat. Q: What are the two speakers talking about?
[解析] 四个选项语义没有交叉,初步推测本题考查对话的主旨大意,且对话可能涉及对Tom的评价,听音时应留意有关Tom的内容。 男士说Tom是一个心地善良且很友好的人,女士则说她听人说Tom的脾气不好,一旦谈到他不认同的事情,他就会展开激烈的争论。由此可知,两人正在谈论Tom的性格。hot temper意为“暴躁的脾气”;at the drop of a hat意为“立即,马上”。

【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Hi, Sam. I have finished reading your project report and I'm sure the board will be very interested in your proposal. M: Really? Then, would you please back me up in today's meeting? Q: What does the man mean?
[解析] 选项C和D均是对男士的描述,且选项中出现了meeting,proposal,sent back,support,由此推测对话内容与男士的提议是否能在会上被支持有关。 女士说她已经读完了男士的项目报告,并认为董事会成员一定会对男士的提议很感兴趣;男士用请求句式问女士能否在开会时支持自己。由此可见,男士需要女士的支持。back sb. up意为“支持某人”。
