What can be inferred about Prof. Clark?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Uh-uh. Look! I'm going to be a little late for class. W: You do need to hurry up! M: I hope Prof. Clark doesn't start on time today. W: Are you kidding? You can set your watch by the start of his class.
“be late for”是“做什么事情迟到”的意思，第一个说话人已经迟到了，但他寄希望于教授上课也没有准时；而第二个人的反应是一个反问句“Are you kidding”，表达了她的非常坚决的否定态度，然后她夸张地说“你甚至可以用他开课的时间来对表”，意思是教授上课极其准时。

How would Professor Anderson go to the North?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Do you plan on flying to the North, Professor Anderson? W: Yes. It costs a lot but the trains and buses don't run the day I'm going. So I'm going to have no choice. M: Have you thought about ships? W: That would take too much time.
第一个说话人问对方“他是否要乘飞机去”，第二个说话人说虽然要贵很多，但是由于那天火车和公共汽车都不开，所以别无选择。“cost a lot”的意思是花费很多，而“have no choice”是指“别无选择”。

How long does it take the man to drive from his house to the university during rush hour?
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: How far do you live from the university, John? M: It takes about 25 minutes to drive. But during rush hour, it will take twice the time.
解题的关键是听清第二个说话人的意思，即开车需要25分钟，但在高峰需要两倍的时间。“rush hour”是指“上下班高峰的交通拥挤时间”，“It will take twice the time”是指“需要两倍的时间”。推算可知在高峰时需时50分钟。
