【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Why didn't you have your geology class today?
M: Only three out of a class of twenty-five showed up. Since the professor had planned to present a complex demonstration, he decided to cancel the class until everybody could be present.
Q: Why didn't the geology class meet today?
信息明示题。虽然男士的话较长，但关键点在最后，即he decided to cancel the class．．．由此可知，男士没上地理课的原因是因为教授取消了课程。而男士前面说的很多同学缺席则是教授取消课程的原因，所以D正确。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: Does this elevator stop on every floor?
W: No, it stops only on the even ones. If you want an odd one, go to the even one above it and then walk down.
Q: Why won't the elevator stop on the ninth floor?
信息明示题。解答本题的关键是理解even(偶数)和odd(奇数)，只要明白这两个词的含义，本题就可迎刃而解。女士说电梯只在偶数层停，而第九层是奇数层，所以A正确。

D
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: Has the rain stopped?
W: Stopped? Look at my clothes. They are soaked.
Q: What does the woman mean?
综合推断题。男士问女士雨停了没有，女士回答说她的衣服都湿透了，言外之意是雨下得很大，故选D。
[考点]
soak意为“浸泡；湿透”，常见短语有：soak sth．off/out浸泡以除去某物；soak sb. through使某人全身湿透；soak sth．up 吸收某物，此时既可指具体吸收某种物质，也可指抽象地吸收，如：The boy soaks up new knowledge like a sponge．那个男孩像海绵一样吸收新知识。

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: You have been getting back from lunch late every day. You do your shopping, don't you?
W: No. I spend most of my lunch hour at the library, but it's so quiet that I fall asleep.
Q: Why does the woman come back late from lunch now?
综合推断题。女士说自己把大部分午饭时间花在图书馆，但那里太安静以至于她睡着了，由此可以推断，女士之所以回来迟了是因为睡过了头，所以D正确。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: Would you like some more potatoes?
W: I'm sorry I can't manage more. Thank you.
Q: What does the man ask the woman to do?
信息明示题。本题的关键是对manage的理解，它在本段对话中相当于have或eat。男士问女士是否再要些土豆，女士回答说自己吃不下了，故选C。
[考点]
manage此处指的不是“经营，管理”，而是“做成(某事)，应付”的意思，如：Despite his disappointment， he managed a smile．尽管很失望，他还是强颜欢笑。
【正确答案】

W: I am sorry I am having trouble reading my notes. Did you say three lunches in that first paragraph?

Q: what did the man say about the lunches?
信息明示题。男士说，I said free lunches．．．由此可知，B正确。解答本题的关键是听清男士说的这句话，以避免three lunches，many lunches的干扰。

Q: what did you learn about Mr. Green?
信息明示题。男士说自己听说格林先生陷入财政危机，女士赞成了男士的说法，由此可知，格林先生没有足够的资金继续他的项目，所以B正确。

W: What about white? It matches the furniture.
Q: What does the woman suggest?
