【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Hello, Jane. W: Hello, Paul. M: Please come in. I'm just getting ready to go home. Susan is expecting me for dinner. I want it to be on time for a change. W: Look, I'm terribly sorry to drop in at this time on Friday, Paul. But it is rather important. M: That's OK. What's the problem? W: Well, Paul, I won't keep you long. You see there is a problem with the exchange rates. The Indian rupee has taken a fall on the foreign exchange market. You see there's being a sharp increase in India's balance of payment deficit. M: I see. That's serious, isn't it? W: Well, as you know, there have been reports of unrest in India, and the prospects for the rupee look pretty gloomy. M: And that's going to affect us, as if we didn't have enough problems on our hands. W: So I thought it would be wise to take out forward exchange cover to protect our position on the outstanding contracts. M: Just a minute. Forward exchange cover—now what does that mean exactly? W: Well, it means that JL Motors enters into a commitment to sell Indian rupees at the present rate. M: I see. And how would that benefit us? W: Well, JL Motors won't lose out if the Indian rupee falls further. M: What will it cost, Jane? W: A small percentage, about 1%. And that can be built into the price of the bike. M: Well, I don't suppose there's much choice. All right, Jane. Let's put it into action. Q: What do we learn about the man's daily life? 听前预测： 1．四项均以he开头。 2．三项含有与家庭有关的词语(family, household, home)，三项含有与吃饭有关的词汇(cooks dinner, dines out, goes back home late for dinner)。 3．三项含有表示频率的词汇(occasionally, from time to time, often)。 结论：本题考查的内容可能与男士回家吃饭的频率有关。听音时，应重点关注与男士有关的信息，并特别留意其中与吃饭和家庭有关的内容。 在对话的开头部分，女士来找男士，男士请女士进屋，并说自己正准备回家，苏珊在等他回去吃晚饭，他希望这次能够准时，改变一下。就是说男士这次想一改经常很晚回家吃晚饭的情况，由此可推知，男士经常很晚才回家吃晚饭。故选项D为正确答案。同时我们也可以采取排除法。选项A、B、C对话中均未提及，都可排除。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] Q: Why did the woman come to see the man? 听前预测： 1．四项均为不定式短语，推测该题对动作或目的进行提问。 2．两项含有与讨论有关的词汇(discuss, talk about)，两项含有表示紧急或重要的词语(urgent, important)。 结论：该题可能对动作或目的进行考查，可能涉及对某项紧急或重要事情的讨论。 对话中，当男士说自己正准备下班回家吃晚饭时，女士表示很抱歉在周五的这个时候来访，但是事情非常重要。后来与男士讨论了汇率出问题的事情。由此可知，女士来找男士是为了讨论一件紧急的事情。故选项B为正确答案。其他三项都与对话内容不符，都应排除。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] Q: What makes the woman worry about the Indian rupee? 听前预测： 1．三项出现了印度(India)。 2．四项均含有与经济、企业或货币有关的词汇(economy, multinational enterprises, payment deficit, international money market)。 3．四项均含有表示消极含义的词汇(are losing confidence, withdrawing, a sharp increase in...balance of payment deficit, wild fluctuations)。 结论：该题考查的内容可能与印度的经济有关，可能涉及跨国企业撤出、国际收支逆差上升、货币市场波动等信息。听音时，应重点关注与以上信息有关的内容，然后根据问题作出进一步的判断。 对话中，当男士问女士来拜访是为何事时，女士说是有关汇率的问题，印度卢比在外汇市场上失势，印度的国际收支逆差急剧上升。由此可知，女士担心印度卢比的原因是印度的国际收支逆差急剧上升。由此可知，选项C为正确答案，其中的India's balance of payment deficit为原词重现。其他三项对话中均未提及，都可排除。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] Q: What can we infer from the conversation? 听前预测： 1．两项出现了公司名(JL Motors)和公司(company)。 2．一项含有与印度卢比(Indian rupee)-关的信息。 3．一项含有与男士和女士有关的信息。 结论：该题信息点比较分散，可能考查JL Motors公司、印度卢比以及两位说话人的情况。本题可能考查对文章中某些信息的推测或归纳。听音时，应仔细听取各个关键信息点。 在对话的最后，当男士问女士取出远期外汇储备对JL Motors公司的影响时，女士说只会损失大约百分之一，而这部分可以通过提高自行车的价格去弥补。由此可推测，JL Motors公司是一家有自行车销售业务的公司，故选项A为正确答案。选项C对话中未提及；选项B、D与对话内容相悖，故均可排除。
