【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Did you catch our very own Professor Stiller on TV last night? M: I almost missed it ! But my mother just happened to be watching at home and gave me a call.
题解题的关键是听出第一个人在问他“昨晚是否在电视上看到Professor Stiller”,而第二个讲话者说“我几乎错过”,多亏他母亲电话提醒他,他才不致错过,从而知道其实第二个人是看到了。“catch”在这里是“捕捉,看到”的意思,而“almost”是“几乎,差不多”的意思,听出这两个词对于解题很有帮助。“happen to do”是“碰巧,偶然做某事”的意思。

What does the man mean?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: These summer days are getting to be more than I can take. It was even too hot to go to the pool yesterday. M: Hold on. According to the weather report we should have some relief by the end of the week. W: The weather report can never be relied on.
这是一道讨论天气的题目,“be getting to be more than I can take”的意思是“几乎使我无法忍受”,“even too hot to go to the pool”表示“太热以致连去游泳池都不行”。“hold on”是“坚持”的意思,而“have relief”是表示“放松,宽松”的意思。听懂第二句话是解题的关键,也听出“根据天气预报我们周末就会好过一点”,言外之意,周末就不会那么热了。

问题是问第二个讲话者的态度,表面看起来她并没有评论第一个讲话人的讲话内容,好像在说另外一件事情。但是实际是暗示他可能不会有充足的时间自己做饭。“do one's own cooking”的意思是自己做饭,而“lighter schedule”是“时间比较宽松”。
