单选题 What are the two speakers going to do?

A、 To make one more request to the professor.
B、 To expand their papers to meet the request.
C、 To complete their papers within three days.
D、 To postpone finishing their essays.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: If professor Brown was willing to give us three days extension to finish the paper, maybe he should give us a few more days. W: Jack, you shouldn't make too many requests. It's time for us to work hard to finish the paper. [解析] 本题为推测题。应注意男士先提出一个假设，即if从句，接着女士对这一假设进行了否定。短语three days extension to finish the paper意为“延长三天完成论文”。女士回答You shouldn't make too many requests．意为“你不应该有太多的要求”。

单选题 Where does this conversation most probably take place?

A、 In a kitchen.
B、 In an orchard.
C、 In a garden.
D、 In a picnic.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: These tomatoes are large! You must have watered them a lot. W: Yes, I did. They ought to be ripe enough to pick by next Friday when we have our picnic. [解析] 本题为推测题。推测对话可能发生的地点。B和D两项都可能是误区。但据所听到的tomatoes一词应判断出B项错，因为tomatoes是蔬菜，不是水果，所以对话不应发生在果园。有的考生因听到picnic一词就盲目选择D项。其实从“你一定浇了很多水”即可知道西红柿一定是自己种的，所以对话是在花园里发生的。

单选题 Which of the following would the man choose to be?

A、 A dramatist,
B、 An actor,
C、 A worker.
D、 A farmer.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] W: What kind of work would you like the most if you had the chance? M: If I were going to change my life of work, I would probably make a dramatic change. I would not live in a city. I would move to the country, probably be more involved with nature and with animals. [解析] 从男士的回答中我们可以清楚地知道他是想去农村做农民。从关键句I would not live in a city，I would move to the country．“我不愿意住在城市，我要搬到农村去。”还有像nature和animals等词都与做农民有关。

单选题 What does the woman mean?

A、 She doesn't know the novel,
B、 She agrees with the man.
C、 She enjoys the novel very much.
D、 She has no opinion.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: I don't like this novel very much. W: Neither do I. [解析] 本题考查考生对句子结构的掌握情况，Neither do I.用于否定句，表示否定，句子结构倒装。男土提出不喜欢这本小说，女士也同意他的观点，故应选B。

单选题 What are the two people doing?
