单选题 What does the woman imply?
  • A. She doesn't like to drink coffee.
  • B. She's not upset by the accident.
  • C. The man should apologize.
  • D. The man has spilled coffee on her before.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Whoops ! Did any of my coffee just spill on you? W: It's hot! Is that all you have to say? M: I'm so sorry! spill是“洒，泼”的意思，第二个讲话者没有直接回答问话，而是抱怨“难道你就说这个吗”，她是在抱怨他没有道歉。所以应当选择C项。
单选题 What does the woman think about the shirt?
  • A. The man will have to buy a new shirt.
  • B. The shirt looks just like the man's new one.
  • C. The shirt can be repaired easily.
  • D. The man shouldn't put sharp objects in his shirt pocket.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Oh, my shirt sleeve. Must have gotten caught on that nail. W: Here, let me take a look. M: What do you think of it? W: Hmm with a needle and thread, this can be mended and look just like new. “be caught on that nail”的意思是被钉子挂了一下，mend的意思是“修补，弥补”。第二个说话人的意思是，只要有针线，这衬衫很容易缝补好的。
单选题 What does the man mean?
  • A. The jackets sold out quickly.
  • B. The sale ended yesterday.
  • C. He'll check with the sales clerk.
  • D. The woman might find a jacket on sale.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: I'm looking for a lightweight jacket, blue, medium. M: Let's see. Have you checked the sales rack in the back? There were still a few there yesterday. 这是一道场景题。lightweight在这里的意思是“轻便的，小巧的”的意思， blue和medium是说衣服的颜色和尺码，而sales rack是指供摆放打折商品的货架，在a few后省略了jacket。理解了这些提供场景信息的内容，很容易得出第二个说话者暗示在后面的货架上应该有对方想要买的东西。
单选题 What can be learned from the conversation?
  • A. She likes to drive when she travels.
  • B. She doesn't want to go to Chicago.
  • C. She doesn't know how much the train trip will cost.
  • D. It's cheaper to go to Chicago by car.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: I've figured it all out. It looks like it'll take us about six hours to drive from here to Chicago. W: It'd be more relaxing to take the train. M: Won't that be too expensive? W: Thinking about that hmm I guess we should watch our expenses. “figure...out...”的意思是“推算出，想出来”。对话中提到两种去往Chicago的方式，一种是开车去，一种是坐火车，而男生感觉坐火车会“too expensive”，而女生后来也认为应该“watch our expenses”(留心一下费用)。所以容易推测出坐火车比开车更贵。
单选题 What does the man mean?
  • A. He built a model a week ago.
  • B. He completed his model quickly.
  • C. He will finish his model with her help.
  • D. He thinks she can use less time.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: I don't think you can build your model in less than a week. M: Catherine made hers in three days. W: That's because she got her brother to help her. M: Won't you be helping me as well? 第一个说话人的“I don't think”引导否定句，事实上是对think之后从句的否定；即她认为他不能在一个星期内造好模型。第二个说话者的话看起来与第一个人说的事不相干，“凯瑟琳做得很快，甚至在3天之内就完成”，但他的潜在含义是“既然她那么快就能完成，我就可以在一星期内做完。她有哥哥帮忙，你也可以同样帮我，所以我能够完成。”答案应选择B项。
