【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: The Sound of all that traffic is driving me out of my mind.
W: It is bad. But the highway will reopen tomorrow then we won't have all those cars passing by any more.
“driving sb. out of one's mind”是“使某人发疯”,这个短语常用来表达强烈的不满,而第二个说话人说的情况可以消除目前糟糕的状况,选项D中“detour”的意思是“绕行”。

【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Here is the table for eight people. I think Jack should invite Jessica to the party, don't you think so?
M: It's not our business. If Jack liked to invite her he would have.
W: Maybe you're right.
解题的关键是理解第一个说话人的态度,“I think Jack should invite Jessica to the party”表明说话者认为应该请Jessica来参加聚会。所以应当选择C选项。而“It's not our business.”的意思是“跟我们没关系。”解答本题与第二个说话人没有什么关系。

C
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: If you had waited until after the Christmas holidays, you could have bought that dress for much less.
W: I know that, but I needed it immediately. I had a wedding reception to attend.
第一个人用的是“if...had...,”“...could have done...”的条件主从复合句的虚拟语态句型,从而表达与过去的事实相反的情况,这说明第二个人不是在圣诞后买的衣服。所以选项C符合对话的意思。
