单选题
单选题 What are the speakers going to do?
A. Check their computer files. B. Make some computations.
C. Study a computer program. D. Assemble a computer.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析]
W: Have you ever put a computer together before?
M: No, never. But I think if we follow these instructions exactly, we won't have much trouble.

本题属于推断对话主旨的题目。对话中,女士先询问男士以前有没有组装过电脑(put a computer together),男士否定回答后指出,只要按照说明去做(follow these instructions exactly)就不会有问题。由此不难推断出他们是在组装电脑,put together这个短语正相当于[D]项中的动词assemble。其余三项中,file、computations、program等都是对话中没有涉及的信息,因此都不对。
单选题 What does the woman think the man will do?
A. Get more food and drinks. B. Ask his friend to come over.
C. Tidy up the place. D. Hold a party.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析]
M: Forgive the mess in here, we had a party last night. There were a lot of people and they all brought food.
W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I guess it's pretty obvious what you'll be doing most of today.

本题属于对婉转表达的理解和推断。男士先用forgive一词请求女士原谅,并说明了原因,而女士则说it's pretty obvious what you'll be doing most of today(很明显今天一天你都有的忙),根据常识和语境均可推断出男士会“收拾”(tidy up)Ng个地方,故答案就是[C]。
单选题 What is the woman doing now?
A. She is interviewing an applicant. B. She is filling an application form.
C. She is reading a newspaper. D. She is phoning a salesman.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析]
W: I see from your application form you have worked as a salesman for two years. Why do you wish to change your job now?
M: I found the job too dull.

本题也属于推断对话主旨的题目。女士第一句就说I see from your application form…(从你的求职申请表中我看出……),然后又询问男士换工作的原因,当然是在面试男士(求职者,即applicant)了,故答案是[A]。考生误选较多的是[B]项,多属于只听到了对话中application form一词就做出判断所致。
单选题 Where is this conversation probably taking place?
A. In a department store. B. In a drugstore.
C. At a restaurant. D. In a post office.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析]
W: Is anybody looking after you?
M: No, I'm after a size 40 shirt in white.
W: There's only a 38 in our department, but ...
M: Could you order me one?
W: I should imagine so, yes. If you leave your address, I'll contact you.

本题是地点题。提示对话地点的关键词是女士话中的department、leave your address和男士话中的shirt、order,表明男士要向女士买衣服,因此答案为[A]。
单选题 Why can't the man play volleyball?
A. He has to finish his homework. B. He has kids to look after.
C. He doesn't like playing volleyball. D. His wife doesn't allow him to do so.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析]
W: We'll play volleyball this weekend. Are you free then?
M: I'd love to do that, but I need to stay at home and take care of my children.
W: I couldn't imagine having kids right now.

本题关键在于听清男士回答中but后的部分:I need to stay at home and take care of my children,即要在家照看孩子,[B]只是表达不同。
