【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] W: Could you tell me how many of your employees are women? M: Yes, certainly. We have a very high percentage of female staff. We employ about 100 people, and eighty percent of them are women.
[解析] 本题要求进行简单计算，难度不大。应注意问题中问的是有多少男雇员。注意关键句We employ about 100 people and eighty percent of them are women．“我们有100名雇员，其中百分之八十是女性，故有百分之二十是男雇员”。

Where did the woman think they were supposed to meet? A. On the platform, B. At the information desk. C. On the train. D. Near the stairs.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] M: Where have you been all this time? The train is about to leave. W: I'm sorry I am late, but I was waiting for you at the information desk upstairs. It's lucky I thought to look for you here on the platform.
[解析] 听懂问题是答对本题的关键。问题是“女士认为他们本应在哪里会面?”短语be supposed to意为“本应该，被期望”。答案在于but I was waiting for you at the information desk upstairs“但我一直在楼上的问讯处等你”，可见女士认为他们应在问讯处见面。本题的误区是选项A的on the platform，考生往往只听到最后一句，而忽略前一句。
单选题
What do we learn from the conversation? A. The woman blames the man for his absence. B. The woman thinks that everything was all right. C. The woman thanks the man for his efforts. D. The woman doesn't think it was the man's fault.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] M: Look, I'm sorry I didn't turn up for the match yesterday, but it wasn't really my fault, you know. W: It's all very well saying it wasn't your fault, but thanks to you we lost 8 to 1.
[解析] 本题难度较大，考生往往会因听到thanks to you而选择C项，也会因误解it's all very well saying it wasn't your fault而选择D项，这是因为考生并没能真正理解女士的回答。对话中It's all very well…，but…意思是“当然可以……但是……”，是表示不赞成，不满意的一种委婉说法。对话中的短语thanks to意为“由于，多亏”。因此说女士的回答实际上是一种委婉的责备。

What does the woman mean? A. The man should be very careful while driving. B. The man can't be careful while' driving in a fog. C. It is very hard to concentrate while driving in a fog. D. The man shouldn't have driven in the fog.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] M: Although I drove very slowly in the morning fog, I still hit a tree. W: You can't be too careful.
[解析] 本题的关键在于对You can't be too careful．一句的理解上。要知道这并非一般否定句。can't be too + adj．的结构意为：“再……也不过分”因此，本句的意思是：“(开车时)你再怎么小心也不过分。”
