单选题

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 62-64
W: Hello. I made a reservation under the name of Rohan. I would like to speak to Mr. Clinton please, because I have to cancel my hotel reservation. I just got a phone call from my travel agent, and they said my flight to London has been delayed because of heavy rain.
M: Mr. Clinton is not here at the moment. I can help you with it. Would you like to cancel for tomorrow or for the entire long weekend?
W: I am not really sure. Don't I have to pay a 50% charge for tomorrow because I am canceling at the last minute? If I have to pay a penalty for the other days, I like to cancel only for tomorrow, but if there is no cancellation fee, I'll like to cancel everything.
M: Yes, you have to pay the penalty for tomorrow. But there is no other penalty about the other days. We don't charge you anything. That is our hotel policy.

初级问题
题目问的是女子想要做的事情,所以应该要首先留意女子的第1句话。女子说已经预定过了(I made a reservation),所以排除(C),后面接着说I have to cancel my hotel reservation,明确地说出了自己想要做的事情。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】初级问题
其实本题询问的就是男子的身份。在听录音的时候最好一边听一边想象对话是在什么样的场景下、在什么样的人之间发生的。本段对话是有关于酒店的预定和取消的,所以女子应该是顾客,男子是酒店的工作人员。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】高级问题
这是一道只有全部正确地理解了两人最后的话后才能解答的问题。最后是比较复杂的有关于收取违约手续费的内容。必须要很好地把握女子的希望和酒店的规定是什么,再去推测女子会怎样做,所以本题是比较棘手的类型。
