M: How do you like Professor Bookman's course on the History of Philosophy? He is a distinguished scholar on that subject. W: He is a great teacher. But I'm having a hard time with the reading. I feel like I can never finish it. Q: What problem does the woman have with the course?
[听前预测] 由She doesn't like/is not等可知，女士的话为听音重点。 [解析] 女士的话But I'm having a hard time with the reading…can never finish it为听音重点。[D]的内容是对女士的话的同义转述，having difficulty with对应having a hard time with，故答案为[D]。
【正确答案】
D

W: It's a pity you missed the concert yesterday evening. It was wonderful! M: I didn't want to miss the football game. Well, I'm not a classical music fan anyway. Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[听前预测] 选项中的The man, didn't like, football game, concert等表明，对话与男士喜欢看足球赛还是音乐会有关，男士的话为听音重点。 [解析] 男士的话I didn't want to miss the football game(我不想错过足球赛)和not a classical music fan(不是古典音乐迷)为听音重点。[D]中的is more interested in football是对男士的话的综合表述，故答案为[D]。

W: I thought Tom said he got A's in all his tests. M: Mary, you should know better than to take Tom's words too seriously. Q: What does the man mean?
[听前预测] 根据意思相反的两个选项中有一个可能是答案的命题规律，可将答案锁定在[B]和[C]之间。 [解析] 对话中男士提到know better than to take Tom's words too seriously，[B]的内容是对男士的话的同义转述，故为答案。know better than意为“明事理而不至于(做某事)”，take one's words seriously意为“认真对待某人的话”。
【正确答案】
C

[听前预测] 由选项中重复出现的strangers，nervous可知，对话可能与见陌生人紧张有关。由She should可知，男士的话为听音重点。 [解析] 男士的话a natural human response(人的自然反应)为听音重点。[C]中的nothing improper是对男士的话的同义转述，故答案为[C]。Practice makes perfect. 意为“熟能生巧”。
