【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: I had prepared dinner for eight people before Mary called and said that she and her husband could not make it.
W: That"s all right. I"m just going to tell you I have invited Tom and his girlfriend.
Q: What will be the situation at dinner?

[解析] 男士准备了8个人的饭，结果Mary夫妇不能来了，不过女士又邀请了Tom及其女友，因此就餐人数不变，即C。根据选项可以预测题目是问晚饭就餐者的情况，对话内容可能会提及就餐人数发生了变化。A和B选项意思相反：一个说人多了，一个说人少了；C选项说人数不变。答案锁定在A、B、C中，注意听音，看人数到底发生了什么变化。

【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Michael, did you go to the lecture on French Revolution last night? I have never heard such an interesting history lecture before.
M: Yes, wasn"t it marvelous! It is said that the lecturer is a self-taught man with no university education.
Q: What did the man think of the lecturer?

[解析] 否定词(never)+such/so+形容词(interesting)是对此形容词的强调，加上反问句中的marvelous，说明对话人是高度赞扬这场讲座。所以B正确。根据选项中的形容词可以预测题目是问对某事的评价。三个选项表示贬义，一个选项表示褒义，答案往往是“另类”。

【正确答案】 B

W: I enjoy all kinds of music. What kind of music do you like?
M: Folk music had appeared to me very much before I became fascinated with pop music. Now I think nothing can compare with classical music.
Q: What kind of music does the man like best?

[解析] 男士说了自己三个阶段分别喜爱的音乐，最后提到的“古典音乐”是现在的情况，问题用的是一般现在时，所以答案为B。选项告诉我们对话内容讲的是音乐(包括流行音乐、古典音乐和民谣)。多个事实随笔记，然后仔细听问题，务必理清时间顺序。

Q: What does the professor mean?

[解析] 男士说但愿我能说“Yes”，但是如果这么做了，就无法拒绝其他的学生了，说明男士事实上委婉地拒绝了女士的请求。所以A正确。根据选项可以预测题目是问男士对于女士请求的回应。虚拟语气题。回答用虚拟：“I wish...but...”，答案选反义。
