单选题 How often will the woman's son have piano lessons from next week on?

A、 Once a week.
B、 Twice a week.
C、 Three times a week.
D、 Four times a week.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Your son seems to have made much progress in playing the piano. Does he attend any piano classes? W: Yes, he takes twice a week, but from next week on, he will go to the class on Saturday evenings too. 本题是数字题，除了要听懂一个有关的时间短语twice a week外，he will go to the class on Saturday evenings too及问话中的from next week on也是关键。

单选题 Where did the conversation most probably take place?

A、 In the cotton field,
B、 At a railway station.
C、 On a farm.
D、 On a train.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Look at that big field of cotton. And there's a farm with some beautiful houses. M: You really get to know the country when you go by train, don't you? 对话中有train为选择正确答案提供了线索，但女士的话中包含了关于farm和cotton field等干扰信息，也不易排除[A] 、[C] 。只有完整地理解了男士话语的意思，再结合题目才能选出正确答案。

单选题 What is the woman's job?

A、 A shop assistant.
B、 A telephone operator.
C、 A waitress.
D、 A clerk.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: How about the food I ordered? I've been waiting for 20 minutes already. W: I'm sorry, sir. I'll be back with your order in a minute. 本题属于地点题，从关键词food与ordered可以推断出对话的场景是在饭店，而对话方式为一问一答，女士又表示抱歉，这样便容易推断出正确答案。

单选题 What do we learn from the conversation?

A、 Henry doesn't like the door.
B、 There was no ladder in the house.
C、 Someone else painted the house.
D、 Henry painted the house himself.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Did Henry paint the whole house himself? W: He had it painted, because he doesn't like climbing ladders. have sth．done是一个典型句型，指让别人做某事。几乎所有英语考试都会出这一句型的题。

单选题 What does the woman mean?

A、 She didn't like the books the man bought.
B、 There wasn't a large selection at the bookstore.
C、 The man bought a lot of books.
D、 She wanted to see what the man bought.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: I bought a few books at the new bookstore. Would you like to have a look at them? W: A few? It looks like you bought out the bookstore. M: You really think so? I'll have to read them through in a week. They are important for my term paper. 答句中a few用升调表示对男士观点的否定，再由揶揄语bought out the bookstore(把整个书店买来了)即可推知答案．要注意的是男士又用升调的陈述句表达了自己对女士回答的否定。
