【答案解析】[听力原文] 26-29 My first semester of college was the worst I've been through. I had made plans during the summer to share an apartment with two of my close friends from high school. But before we moved in，problems started developing. One of the two girls I was to share an apartment with was going to work instead of going to college。 However，a week before we were to move in，she found out that she didn't get the job. She is forced to live at home and look for work. The rest two of us lasted for a month and then agreed that we couldn't make it with the higher monthly rent payments. I started looking around. I found another apartment and the rent wasn't bad. The place was noisy，but it was the best I could afford for the time. However，one day when I returned，I saw smoke coming from the back of the house. The cottage had caught fire，and my room was a burned mess。I was once more out of a place to stay. I finally gave up looking around and moved home. I had to drive forty miles to school every day，so I almost spent as much on gas as I would have on lodging. I was very bored I almost lost the will to study. It had been really a bad semester! 26. What was the speaker's plan before her first college semester began? [解析] 细节题。文章开篇就提到她已在暑假做好计划与其关系最好的两个朋友一起share an apartment. A选项的出现是为了混淆视听。所以本题答案为C。

A、 She couldn't find a good place to stay.
B、 Her friend and she couldn't afford the rent.
C、 A friend left her for work's sake.
D、 She quarreled with her friends.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] What was the first lodging problem the speaker encountered? [解析] 细节题。听到problems started developing就应该提高注意力，下面就要陈述最先出现的住宿问题了。她的同租者中的一人宣布继续工作而不是上学，她和另一个同租者不能负担这么高的月租(we couldn't make it with the higher monthly rent payments)。B选项是由C选项引发的问题。所以本题答案为C。

A、 Because her home was far away from school.
B、 Because her parents asked her to do so.
C、 Because she was bored living outside.
D、 Because the place where she lived caught fire.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] Why did the speaker move back home finally? [解析] 细节题。说话人找到了第2套公寓，可是发生了火灾，她的房间被烧坏，没有地方可去，所以搬回家住。B，C选项在文中没有提及。A是对她的家的事实的描述和问题没有关联。所以本题答案为D。

A、 Because she was disappointed in the college.
B、 Because she kept moving all the time and couldn't concentrate on studying.
C、 Because her home was too far away from school and it was inconvenient.
D、 Because she was not interested in study at all.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] Why does the speaker think her first semester of college was the worst? [解析] 推理判断题。选项C是对说话人家的描述，本身是正确的，可是不能完全概括说话人整个学期糟糕的原因。D选项是她对学习不感兴趣，文章中没提到，A选项没有提及。说话人认为失学第一个学期过得糟糕的原因是她找不到合适的住处，不得不花费大量的时间和金钱在路上，以至于没法专心学习。所以本题答案为B。
