【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文]23-25 W: Can I help you? M: Yes, I'd like to read some articles that are on reserve about British culture. W: Professor Grand's class? M: That's right. How could you know? W: Let's just say you are not the first person coming in asking for those articles. M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet, it doesn't really matter which one you give me first. W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment. They've all been checked out. M: You're joking, all of them? W: Every month. I've asked professor Grand twice already to bring in additional copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the shelves than they are gone. See that girl in the black sweater? She's been waiting for half an hour for those same articles to be returned. M: And here's me. I went out of my way to free out the whole afternoon to read. W: I'm sorry, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it. All I can suggest is that you come in first thing tomorrow morning and try again. We open at eight. 23.What is the man surprised to learn? [解析] 细节题。男士来借阅论坛,被告知论文都被借走了,不由得说,You are joking,all of them? 其中,You are joking表示不相信、惊讶之情 (surprised)。同义的表达有Are you kidding?
