单选题 What's the probable relationship between the two speakers?

A、 Receptionist and customer.
B、 Waitress and customer.
C、 Salesperson and customer.
D、 Nurse and patient.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Solomon Department Store. May I help you?
M: Yes, could you tell me when the store closes today?
W: We close at 7:00.
M: I see. And when do you open?
W: Ten o'clock on the weekend.
M: Fine. Thank you very much.

本题属于人物身份或关系的推断题。推断依据是对话中双方所使用的语气、语调和话题词汇，比如女士一开始就交代自己的单位是Solomon Department Store，而May I help you则是服务人员所常用的一种表达；接下来，男士提了两个问题，其中的话题词汇则是closes和open两个动词，而女士则对其问题进行了详细回答。结合这几个方面，不难看出男士是顾客，而女士则是商店的接待员。有些考生误选了[C]项，但salesperson(售货员)与顾客之间多讨论顾客要买的商品，故它不如receptionist准确。

单选题 What's wrong with the man?

A、 He forgot his appointment with his manager.
B、 He left his keys at home.
C、 He is locked out of his office.
D、 He lost the manager's keys.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: What's wrong?
M: I left my keys inside. We're locked out.
W: Doesn't the manager have an extra set?
M: Sure, but I don't know if he's at home.

本题较难。男士在第一个话轮中虽明确指出I left my keys inside(我把钥匙落在里面了)和We're locked out(咱们被锁在外面了)这两个事实，可并没有交代具体地点。所以，具体地点应从后面的对话去推断。女士问经理有没有备用的，男士回答说不知道经理在不在家。因此，对话双方应是同事关系，他们对话的地点应当是办公室外，故答案就是[C]。
