M: Hello.
W: Hello, dad?
M: Yes... Mary! How are you? Anything wrong?
W: Oh, no. I just wanted to call and see how you and Mom are. It's been quite a while since I saw you last time.
M: Oh, we're both fine. Your mother is down at the new shopping center shopping.
W: For a new dress?
M: No, for shoes this time, I think. How's David?
W: He's fine. He likes his work and was given a raise last month by Mr Smith. We are all pretty pleased about that.
M: Yes, I think you should be. And how are the children?
W: Well, George's home from school today. It's nothing serious, just a bad cold. And it's his birthday, too!
M: Oh, I thought his birthday was May 24th.
W: No. April 24th.
M: Well, that's too bad. Tell him we'll send him a present.
W: All right. Diana's still taking dancing lessons.
M: She must be pretty good by now. How about Tom?
W: He's OK, too. He's having a part-time job at a garage now.
M: Well, it's certainly good to hear your voice.
W: OK, dad. Nice talking to you and give Mom our love.
M: All right Good-bye.

这是一段电话交谈。在第二轮对话中,男士问是不是有什么事,女士否定回答后说:I just wanted to call and see how you and Mom are,因此选[D] 。
单选题 Who was David?
A. Mary's boss. B. Mary's brother.
C. Mary's husband. D. Mary's oldest son.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】本题需要进行一定的推理。提及David这个人名是在第四轮对话,而由女士的回答以及根据在后面几轮对话中才提到孩子这一点和常识可知David应当是女士的丈夫,选[C] 。
单选题 How many children did Mary have?
A. Two girls and one boy. B. Two boys and one girl.
C. One girl and one boy. D. Three boys and one girl.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】对话后面几轮对话中提到了女士的孩子;George,Diane和Tom,只有Diane属于女性名,因此本题答案是[B] 。
单选题 What can be inferred from this conversation?
A. Mary's parents visit Mary regularly.
B. Mary's children have all worked.
C. Mary's children are all studying in school.
D. Mary doesn't visit her parents often enough.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】本题应当根据对话内容整体来进行推断。对话中男士(父亲)询问了女士(女儿)关于她家庭的许多事情,说明他并不很了解她的生活;而在第二轮对话中女士又明确说明自己很久没有见到父母了,因此可以推知选项[D] 对。
