M: I think the location is pretty good. However, the walls have to be repainted, and the shelves must be lowered. Your asking price is a little too high. Could you give us a better price?
W: I'm sorry, but several customers are interested in this property, so I think we can get the price we were asking for. I'll show you another property on Fifth Avenue this afternoon. It's a little bit more expensive than this place, but it's pretty new.
M: I'm afraid I have an appointment with a dentist. Let's make it some other time.
W: If this afternoon is inconvenient for you, I'll arrange another date. Let me know when is good for you.

中级问题
这是一道询问说话者身份的问题,此类问题和询问对话主题类的问题一样,应该把对话全部听完之后再作答。通过女子给看房子的男子作介绍的情况,我们可以判断(B)选项是正确答案。还可以用房地产代理商real estate agent来回答。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】中级问题
基本上可以预测本题的正确答案应该在男子说的话中。虽然开始说的是位置很好,但是后面又说“位置虽然好,但是价格贵”,可以判断后面说的就是价格贵的原因:需要修理。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】高级问题
读了51题和52题的题目之后,可以知道情况是男子认为价格高,但是女子固守不降价。一旦了解对话的发展脉络,就可以提前知道哪部分是答案的线索,这样解题就会变得非常容易。男子说价格贵,正确答案就在女子后面的回答之中。
