单选题
单选题 How long will they have for the discussion of the next project?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: When will we discuss the next project?
W: It is 2:30 now. I'd like to discuss it at 3 o'clock because I will deal with something important with Bill at 4:30.
男士询问什么时候讨论,女士先指出了现在的时间(2:30),然后说想在3:00开始讨论,因为她4:30时要去处理其他的事情。考生必须在听清这几个时间的基础上进行简单的推算:3点到4点半之间是1个半小时,也就是讨论将要进行的时间。
单选题 How does the woman think of the shirt for the party?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: You can wear that, John? It's black.
M: What's wrong with the black shirt? Everybody has a black shirt.
W: It doesn't look like you are going to a party.
本题同样考查的是婉转表达。首先,对话中多次出现black(黑色的)一词,故对话重点就是衣服的颜色;其次,女士最后一句说(男士穿那件衣服)“看上去似乎不是去参加晚会”,其言下之意就是衣服颜色不适合于晚会,故正确答案是[C]。
单选题 What are the speakers discussing?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: I can't decide whether to take the bus or train to Beijing.
W: If you have to be at the meeting by Friday morning, the train might be better.
由男士话中表选择的whether... or... 与take the bus、train两种交通工具即可推断出他们谈论的是交通方式的选择,所以答案是[C]。
单选题 What does the man mean?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: You look like your father more than your mother.
M: I prefer to look like my mother.
本题考查的是对婉转表达的理解。女士说男士长得像他父亲,不像他母亲,男士回答说:I prefer to look like my mother(我宁愿长得像我母亲)。由其语气与常识可推知,他觉得长得像他父亲不如长得像他母亲那样好,即他觉得母亲比父亲长得好看。[C]不对,男士这么说并不表明他对父母的爱不同。
单选题 In what competition did Julie win first prize?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Have you heard the news?
M: No. What news?
W: Julie has won first prize in the diving competition.
M: Oh, that's great.
本题属于细节捕捉题。第二个话轮中女士明确指出:Julie has won first prize in the diving competition,考生关键是不能将diving(跳水)听成driving(驾驶)。
