单选题

A、 The tickets will sell out quickly.
B、 There will be extra tickets at the rock concert.
C、 The rock concert will probably be rescheduled.
D、 Each person will be allowed to buy only one ticket.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: The tickets for that rock concert finally go on sale at 5 o'clock next Saturday.
W: As far as I know, anyone who wants one had better get it sooner than that. That's their first anti only performance here.
Q: What does the woman imply?

[解析] 分析选项，对话应与摇滚音乐会有关。 [A]、[B]、[D]都涉及音乐会门票的问题，只有 [C]与ticket无关，故可初步排除。女士的建议 had better get it sooner than that说明票务很紧张，first and only performance here更预示门票会很快售光(will sell out quickly)。

A、 He thinks the woman is being unfair.
B、 He agrees that the workload is heavy.
C、 He feels the assignment is reasonable.
D、 He won't be able to go to the lab today.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文]
W : I can't believe we have another lab report due so soon. Dr. White must think that we don't have any other classes.
M: I know just what you mean. I'll be really pressed to get it done,
Q: What does the man mean?

[解析] 根据逸项[B]、[C]中的workload和 assignment推测，对话很可能与分配的工作或学习任务有关。选项均以He开头，因此听音时要重点留意男士的话。女士说can't believe we have another lab report due so soon，言外之意是抱怨Dr．White布置的作业太多了(the workload is heavy)；男士的回应I'll be really pressed to get it done表明他同意女士的观点。

A、 She agrees to move the item to the balcony.
B、 She disagrees, and wants the issue discussed now.
C、 She disagrees, and wants the issue resolved immediately.
D、 She agrees, but wants the issue to be further discussed later.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: We should now move on to another item on the agenda.
W:OK, but I still say we should take the matter up again in our next meeting.
Q: What does the woman think of the man's suggestion?

[解析] 选项均以She开头，且关键词是agrees和disagrees，因此要留意女士对男士的话同意与否。OK表示女士同意(agrees)开始讨论下一议程；但should take the matter up again又表明她希望刚才的话题能在下次会上继续讨论(wants the issue to be further discussed later)，[D]项综合了这两方面的内容。take sth. up的意思是“着手处理某事”。

A、 The man should also concern his academic grades.
B、 The man should continue to improve his soccer skills.
C、 There's no need for the man to improve his soccer skills.
D、 The man's academic grades have begun to improve recently.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: I pretty much decided that I want to play on the soccer team next semester.
W: You are certainly good enough, but well, didn't you just tell me about how you really need to concentrate on improving your grades next semester?
Q: What does the woman imply?

[解析] 从选项提供的信息来看，对话很可能与男士的球技和学习情况有关。女士先是通过You are certainly good enough肯定了男士的球技，继而通过but well一转折把话题扯到了学习上。反问句would you just tell me about how you really need to concentrate on improving your grades…?说明男士对学习并无热情，女士是想提醒他在热爱足球的同时也关心一下分数(should also concern his academic grades)。

A、 She has learned a lot from the novel.
B、 The man will enjoy the book eventually.
C、 She can recall the names of main characters in the novel.
D、 She usually also has difficulty remembering main characters.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: I started reading that book you loaned me, but I'm having a tough time keeping up with the main characters. It's hard to remember them all.
W: I share your feeling. All I can say is to stick with it. Once you get halfway through you won't want to put it down.
Q: What does the woman imply?

[解析] 综合选项内容推测，对话很可能与女士读一本小说的感受有关。男士说很难记住书中的人物，女土鼓励他坚持下去，说读到一半时就会手不释卷了(won't want to put it down)，言下之意思是男士最终会喜欢上那本书(will enjoy the book eventually)。Get through指“完成，干完”。

A、 Larry was probably justified to get so angry.
B、 Larry may be just having a difficult time at school.
C、 Larry doesn't lose his cool and she doesn't believe that he did.
D、 The professor probably had a good reason to lose his cool at Larry.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: Can you believe the way Larry spoke to his professor, complaining so directly and all ...
W: Larry is not known for losing his cool. There are two sides to every story and I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Q: What does the woman mean?

[解析] 选项[A]、[B]、[C]都是围绕Larry生气这点展开的，而[D]是说教授对Larry发火，与其他选项不同，是答案的可能性较小。not known for losing his cool说明Larry并不是一个爱发脾气的人。女士又用There are two sides to every story强调问题皆有两面，即不能只看到Larry发脾气，他之所以发脾气应该是有原因的。选项 [A]与该分析相符justified意为“(做某事)有正当理由的”。give sb. the benefit of the doubt指“因证据不足而承认某人无过失、无罪”，女士是说在不知道事情真相的前提下宁愿相信Larry没错。

A、 Dave is intelligent.
B、 Dave knows a lot about art.
C、 Dave is very logical.
D、 Dave is the manager of the Art Exhibit.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: You went to an Art Exhibition last week, didn't you? Was there much of an interest in those exhibits?
W: Was there? Wish I'd brought Dave along to explain the logic behind the pieces. You know he's on top of all these things.
Q: What does the woman think of Dave?

[解析] 选项[A]、[B)和[c]都是对Dave某方面特点的评价，只有[D]是对其事实状况的描述，与其他三项不同，故可初步排除。explain the logic behind the pieces和on top of all these things说明Dave对艺术很了解(knows a lot about art)。be on top of sth. 在这里意为“对…熟练掌握，对…一清二楚”。

A、 He might visit the woman in the hospital.
B、 He will refuse to accept the woman's paper.
C、 He may deny the woman's request to hospital.
D、 He will give the woman more time to write her paper.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Dr. Jones, I was wondering if you would consider giving me an extension on my paper. I just got back on campus yesterday from the hospital.
M: Well, under the circumstances, I can't see how I can deny your request.
Q: What does Dr. Jones mean?

[解析] 阅读选项，[B]、[c]似乎不太合常理，综合[A]、[D]内容推测，对话很可能与女士生病住院及迟交论文有关。女士刚刚出院没完成论文，所以想请男士宽限几天时间。将男士的否定表达 (can't see how I can deny)转换成肯定表达(will give the woman more time to write her paper)即可确定答案。
