单选题
单选题 What does the man imply about Mary?
A. She won't be able to come. B. She's not going to graduate.
C. She has a week to do the work. D. She'll visit her sister in a week.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析]
W: Mary insists she's coming to my graduation ceremony.
M: But she has to work that week, doesn't she?

本题属于推断题。在对话中，女士先指出Mary坚持说要出席她的毕业典礼，而男士回答说她(即Mary)那一周必须工作。从其回答和反意问句所用的降调语气可知，男士的意思就是Mary肯定来不了，故答案是[A]。
单选题 What are the two speakers talking about?
A. Strange colors. B. Different tastes of tea.
C. Fashion. D. A painting.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析]
M: What do you think of my new painting? I've just finished it.
W: Well, the colors are a little strange, don't you think?
M: Ah, yes. That's the point. It's called Colors.
W: Oh, yes, I see. Well, it's not quite my cup of tea — but then we all have different tastes, don't we?

本题属于判断对话主旨的题目。对话中男士首先征询女士对其新画作(my new painting)的意见，实际上就是限定了对话的话题和主旨。然后女士的回答中才提到colors(色彩)一词，接下来的一个话轮就讨论了colors的问题。因此他们讨论的实际上是一幅画(的色彩)，故答案是[D]。有的考生就是只注意到了对话中多次出现的colors一词，而误选了[A]项。
单选题 Where is the conversation taking place?
A. In a bank. B. In the office.
C. At Mr Zhang's home. D. On the telephone.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析]
M: Is Mr Zhang in?
W: No, he is out. Who is this speaking, please?
M: James Smith.

本题属于对话发生地点的判断题。判断的依据就是女士回答中Who is this speaking这个打电话时的常用表达，说明双方进行的是电话交谈。
单选题 What is the woman going to do?
A. Mail an invitation to the Johnson's. B. Not mention the thing to the Johnson's.
C. Have a call to the Johnson's. D. Ask the Johnson's to come.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析]
M: I want to invite the Johnson's to the party. Do you know their address?
W: No, but I'd rather they didn't come. I think their coming will bother you.

本题属于推断题。对话中男士提出想请Johnson一家来参加晚会，并询问女士地址。而女士则用虚拟句表达了自己的反对，并且直接指出Johnson一家可能会给男士带来不便。由此可以推知女士是不会去请Johnson一家的，与此相符的是[B]项。
单选题 What conclusion can be drawn from this conversation?
A. It is not so hot as the woman expected.
B. The weather is in fact very good here.
C. Many people have moved to the city because of the weather.
D. It is very hot here.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析]
W: Is it always so hot here in summer? I can hardly stand it.
M: That's why so many people move to other places after they live here only for a short period.

由对话中女士所用的always so hot与I can hardly stand it可知天气热得女士受不了；而男士回答说这就是许多人在这里住了不久后就搬走了的原因，属于对女士疑问的肯定回答，所以答案是[D]。
