【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] W: What a great day, don't you think? M: I guess so. I hadn't noticed. I feel awful because I watched television until after midnight last night. W: After midnight! Did you watch so late because you were bored? I usually watch TV only if I have nothing better to do. M: Bored? No, I was upset because I left my meal tickets in the cafeteria. That's more than fifty dollars' worth of meal tickets down the drain. W: So, did watching TV make you feel better? M: Well, I felt a bit better while I was watching TV. You know, it can take my mind off my troubles. But after I turned the TV off, I just felt disgusted with myself for wasting so much time. W: I've had that feeling before. M: I had intended to watch just one programme, but somehow I couldn't make myself switch off the TV. W: Actually, I've read that there's a scientific explanation for that. It seems that there's a part of the brain that processes complex information, but that part becomes less active while watching TV. M: That's certainly how I felt last night—like my brain wasn't very active. W: That's not the worst of it. If you watch TV a lot, or for a long time, that part of the brain—the part that processes complex information—shows lowered activity and you become more and more passive. M: That's incredible. W: Next time you feel upset, you should go swimming. That's what I do, and it always makes me feel better. M: I suppose. Right now, I've got to go to the cafeteria and get some more meal tickets. When does the woman normally watch TV? 预览四道题各选项，并结合其中重复出现的TV (programme)以及watched only one programme可推知，对话可能与看电视有关。 B、C、D均涉及女士的行为活动，而A项却未涉及，与其他选项明显不同，为答案的可能性较小。根据对话中女士提到的I usually watch TV only if I have nothing better to do可知，答案为C。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] Why was the man upset? 根据对话中男士提到的I was upset because I left my meal tickets in the cafeteria可知，男士感到心烦是因为他丢了饭票，故答案为A。A项中的lost对应对话中的left。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] Why did the man feel disgusted with himself? 选项均以he开头表明，本题与男士的行为动作有关。由对话中提到的I just felt disgusted with myself for wasting so much time可知，他对自己感到厌烦是因为浪费了这么多的时间，故答案为A。听清问题中的feel disgusted为答题关键。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] According to the woman, what happens to the brain while watching TV? 预览各选项可知，本题可能考查brain的功能或状态。由对话中提到的...a part of the brain... processes complex information...becomes less active while watching TV可知，处理复杂信息时间变长，故答案为D。but转折处通常为考点，其后的内容通常为答案所在。
