【答案解析】[听力原文] M: What do you think of my new sweater, Tracy? W: Well, it's very nice as far as I can see, but put it on first, then I'll tell you if it suits you. M: I tried on about twenty times. This one isn't really what I wanted. W: Why did you buy it then? M: The salesman sold it to me before I realised what had happened. He just never stopped talking and he told me some stories about the latest fashion and special reductions. Before I could say anything he'd wrapped it up and taken my money. W: Well, it doesn't look too bad. I think it looks good on you. M: But I went out to get a blue sweater with a V-neck, short sleeves and pattern, and I came home with a brown one with a high neck, long sleeves and no pattern. W: You must be easily taken in. You've got to learn to stand up to these high-pressure salesmen. They'll sell you all sorts of things you don't want if you don't watch out. M: Next time I'll send my wife. She'll probably sell something to the salesman. W: That's a good idea. Actually women are good at shopping. Whenever my husband and I buy something important, I have the final say. M: I must admit that women have better taste in shopping. I should simply leave the whole business to them. W: Yes, I agree.
What is the main idea of this conversation?
[解析] 选项的信息含量大表明,本题可能考查对话话题或主旨。男士开始提到This one isn't really what I wanted,即他买的并不是他真正想要的。紧接着他又抱怨推销员鼓动他,在他还没有反应过来的情况下就把东西卖给他了,故答案为B。对话围绕毛衣展开,注意男士的语气和措辞。

【答案解析】[听力原文] What is the woman's suggestion?
[解析] 选项中的The man should...表明,本题考查女士对男士的建议。对话中女士认为男士容易受骗,建议他学会拒绝(stand up to)那些强行推销的人,故答案为C。C长的turn down是对对话中stand up to的同义转述。
