M: I would be glad to show you these pictures. W: And I would be glad to play my violin for you. 6. According to the conversation, who took up the hobby earlier? [解析] 此题属于对时间的推理判断。题目询问谁先开始从事自己的爱好的。对话中男士问女士拉小提琴多长时间了，女士说5年了，而男士说“...been traveling for six years．”因此他6年前就开始旅游拍照了，所以选项C(男士)的爱好开始的时间更早。 [避错指南] 根据对话内容可以排除选项A(同时)和选项B(女士)；对话中虽未直接指出谁开始的时间早，但可以根据谈话推理，故应排除选项D(对话中未提及)。

A、 North America.
B、 Europe.
C、 Asia.
D、 Africa.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] Which of the following places has the man not been to? [解析] 题目询问以下哪些地方男士还没去过。只要抓住对话中的相关信息“Well，I have been to Europe，Asia and...Africa．”，听清其中提到的一些地方，就能做出正确选择，因此选项A(北美洲)是正确答案。 [避错指南] 对话中男士说到他去过欧洲和亚洲，并且刚从非洲回来，只要听清这些名词，就能排除选项B(欧洲)，选项C(亚洲)和选项D(非洲)。
