[听力原文] 8. How many members are there in Adam's family?
[解析] 题目询问亚当一家有几口人。通过“…among the four of us.”可以看出男士家中有四口人，选项B正确。 [避错指南] 类似的细节题只要认真听出相关信息即可做出正确判断。即使没有听到“the four of us”也可做出正确判断，因为对话中还提到他父母，还有另一个人David，据此也可计算出总共是四个人。所以选项A、选项C和选项D均可排除。
单选题
A. Because Mum has gone back to work for some time. B. Because Mum does not want to do much housework. C. Because of Adam's suggestion. D. Because they are all very fond of housework.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] 9. Why is the housework divided among the family?
[解析] 题目询问为何家务活在家庭成员之间平分。对话中提到“…my mum has gone back to work for some time.”可知原因是母亲又重新开始工作，所以选A项。 [避错指南] 选项B(因为母亲不想干太多家务)、选项C(由于亚当的建议)和选项D(因为他们一家都喜欢干家务)显然无法从对话中找到依据，所以要排除。
单选题
A. Mother and Father. B. Father and David. C. Mother and Adam. D. Adam and David.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 10. Who usually does the shopping in this family?
[解析] 题目询问这一家通常由谁负责购物。只要听清对话中的相关信息“And who does the shopping?”以及“Usually my mum and I.”即可知是亚当和母亲负责这一项事务，所以选C项。 [避错指南] 本题属于事实细节题，相对比较容易，只要听清原文就不会误选A项、B项和D项。但是本题的信息在对话的结尾处，因此在听录音的过程中一定要集中注意力，特别是要将耐心坚持到底。
