【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Michael must have been joking when he said that he was going to live in New York. W: Don' t be so sure. He told me that he was looking for an agent to sell his house. Q: What does the woman believe about Michael?
[分析] 推理判断题。男士认为Michael说他要搬到纽约住一定是在开玩笑,表示不相信。而女士则不以为然,因为Michael告诉她正在找代理商卖房子,因此可以推断女士相信他要搬往纽约。must have been joking对过去所发生事情的推断。live in容易被错听为leaving,但he was going to后肯定是live in。agent意为“代理商、中介”。

[分析] 固定表达题,细节题。解答本题的关键是听清关键句:...wouldn't break his back working there any longer,no matter how high the pay is...由此可以推理出Jackson辞掉工作原因不是“报酬太低”,而是 wouldn't break his back working,即觉得这个工作太辛苦。break one's back工作非常辛苦,像奴隶一样辛苦地工作。no matter how无论怎样。
