【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 50-52
M: Oh, I'm so tired. And I've got a bad headache, too! Would you like to get some coffee? It'd be a chance to get out of our office chairs and stretch for awhile.
W: Sorry, I've got to go to Walton Hall for a meeting with Metro Event Planning. I'm having them do all the dining arrangements for tomorrow's managementworkshop.
M: Is that so? I've heard about them. By the way, who's the main presenter of the workshop?
W: Mr. Rao, as usual, from the Melbourne branch. He normally brings three to four assistants with him, but this time there'll only be him and another person.

这道题问的是“谈话人所在的地点”。一般来说,确定“地点”,需要从对话的开头部分进行推理。这道题只要我们听清楚“It'd bea chance to get out of our office chairs andstretch for a while.”中的“office chairs”就OK了。在选项中,与“office”相关的只有(D)。将关键的单词串联起来,推理出事情发生的“地点”是非常重要的。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】这道题问的是“女人去Walton Hall的原因”。因为问题中的主语是女人,所以我们要注意听女人的台词。此外,“Walton Hall”是关键词,原文中的“I've got to go to Walton Hall for ameeting”这一句就是重要线索。这里就算我们只听到“meeting(会议)”这个词,也能选出正确答案(D)。只要我们掌握解题技巧,有时候就算只听到个别单词,也照样能做对题目。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】这道题问的是“将会有几个人与Rao先生同行?”,其中的关键词“Mr.Rao”出现在女人最后的台词里。此处最重要的是“but”之后的内容,即“this time there'll only be himand another person”。女人在最后说,Rao一般都带三四个人来,可是这次只有他和另外一个人来,故正确答案是(A)。能否听清楚后面的“another person”非常重要。
