【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: I heard you caught a cold. How are you feeling today?
M: I can't complain. At least I'm out of bed.
W: Take it easy. You should drink more water or milk.
本题关键是听清男士的话：“……至少我不再卧床不起”，便说明他今天好些了。

What does the man mean?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: John, are you doing research for Professor Williams this semester?
M: Actually, I am working as his teaching assistant.
W: You are lucky. It's a position where you can learn much from the professor.
本题仍是要听清男士的话，[C] 中的assists Professor Williams with his teaching就是对男士回答中working as his teaching assistant的同义重述。
单选题
What was the woman probably trying to do?
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: Did you check the power plug and press the play button?
W: Yes. The power indicator was on, and it was running, but somehow the sound didn't come through.
M: Take the tape out and try once again. Maybe you should check the output plug.
本题的关键词是the power plug(电源插座)、the play button(播放按钮)，the power indicator(电源指示灯)及sound(声音)。这些都是与放磁带有关的词汇。注意[C] 项有一定的迷惑性，但由男士话语中的tape考生应该能加以排除。
单选题
Why can't Professor Hill answer her questions now?
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Excuse me, Professor Hill, may I ask you a few questions?
M: Yes, of course, But I'm sorry I have a class to attend. Why don't you come in my office hours, that's 4 to 5 p.m, Monday, Thursday and Friday?
本题女士向男士提出请求，男士回答说当然可以，但很抱歉我要去上课(这里but是转折关系，前面说“可以”完全是出于西方国家的客气和礼貌，but后才是男士真正所要表达的意思核心)，接下来男士提出建议(why don't…“为什么不……”)。由此即可知他不能回答的原因就是现在没时间，选[A] 。
单选题
What can we conclude about the train from the conversation?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: I'm sorry, sir. The train is somewhat behind. Take a seat, and I'll tell you as soon as we know something definite.
M: Thank you. I'll just sit here and read a magazine in the meantime.
女士的第二句话申明确指出：The train is somewhat behind，即火车晚点了。然后她请男士坐下，并说一有消息就通知男士。因此答案是[B] 。
