【答案解析】[解析] 80-82
May I please have everyone's attention? As you all probably know, our accounting office was supposed to be painted tomorrow, but the painting is being delayed. The painters are still working on the library area on the 5th floor and they don't expect to get to us until Thursday. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it looks like we'll be able to keep working here until then. Remember, before you leave the office on Wednesday, make sure that you have your offices ready to be painted on Thursday. Cover your computers and also store all your files and paper on your desk.

初级问题
听到文章中的accounting office, library area, leave the office, your offices, computers, files and paper on your desk等词,可以判断这是一个公司的内部通知,那么通知的对象就是公司的职员了。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】中级问题
会计办公室粉刷推迟的原因是图书馆的工程还没有完成,也就是“别的”地方的工作还没有完成。通过文章中…are still working on一句话里的still一词,可以很容易地知道现在还(虽然预计会完成)在做某些别的工作,所以后面的工作会推迟。在听力的第3部分和第4部分,still,only,already等词经常扮演很重要的角色。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】中级问题
看看自己是否很好地掌握了are asked to这个句子的意思。说话者recommend或者advise,听者be asked to,这两种问法问的都是同样的问题。
要记住,如果文章中有命令型或者以recommend开头的句子,后面的内容就是要求的内容。这样,此类问题就会变得非常容易解答了。
