M: Anna, I am going to the headquarters now because the supervisor wants to see me, right now! I don't know why but I feel like I am in big trouble this time. Besides, I've got to do a bunch f things there.
W: But Mr. Shin, please don't forget about your appointment with Natalie at 2:00. You know she is a very important client for us, OK?
M: I know that. I'll try to be here on time. If I am late, could you please make an excuse for me?
W: Okay, by the way, did you finish making the list of things in the warehouse for the meeting with Susan at 5:00?
[词汇]
I don't know why, but…我不知道为什么,但是……→这里,why的后面省略了the supervisor
初级问题
男子第1句话中的I'm going to这句话直接说出了要去的地方。Headquarters是托业的要求单词,(D)选项把它换成了main office,意思没变。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】初级问题
本题属于询问详细信息的题目,所以在听录音的时候要以题目中的核心词(appointment with Natalie)为中心,留意对话中与时间有关的内容。女子的第1句话中明白地说出了your appointment with Natalie at 2:00。最后出现的the meeting with Susan at 5:00是为了迷惑大家设置的障碍。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】高级问题
解答本题的线索Susan这个人名一直没有出现,最后刚刚出现时对话就结束了。一些考生可能会因为这样的情况而有点慌张。有助于寻找答案的线索词在正确答案的后面出现,增加了题目的难度,这也是托业听力考试的一个特点。
