【答案解析】[解析] Should I send the contract to you, or will you pick it up? (A) No, I don't have to contact him today. (B) The sales picked up sharply this quarter. (C) I'll go there this afternoon. 初级问题 [常见词汇短语] contract 合约，合约书 contact 联络 pick up 带走；(状况等) 变好 sharply 极度地 quarter 季度 “句子or句子”形式的选择疑问句→选择后者 (A) contract与contact是经常作为陷阱一起出现的老面孔。(B) 题目中的pick up是“带走”的意思，而本选项中的pick up是“状况等变好”的意思。(C) 如果回答说“I'll have Ms. Park bring it to me this afternoon. (我会让Ms. Park今天下午带给我。)”，就是提议第3种方案的回答方式。

【答案解析】[解析] Next Tuesday is the deadline we have to meet. (A) I had to stand up all day long. (B) We might have to do some overtime work. (C) Yes, we will meet them the day after tomorrow. 高级问题 [常见词汇短语] meet the deadline 到最后期限 overtime work 加班 传达最后期限的陈述句→符合对话发展趋势的回答 (B) 对于这类问题，除了整体理解题目和选项内容，掌握对话的趋势之外没有别的方法。类似于“Why don't we ask the boss to give us more time?(我们请求上司再多给我们一些时间怎么样?)”这样的回答也可以。(C) 如果把题目中的meet理解成了“见面”，十有八九会误选本选项。meet the deadline是托业考试中常见的词组。

【答案解析】[解析] How is the new secretary we hired doing her job? (A) I think we have to hire her. (B) She needs more time to get used to it. (C) You have to keep it secret. 高级问题 [常见词汇短语] secretary 秘书 need more time+ V 做……还需要更多的时间 get used to 习惯 keep…secret 把……当作秘密 询问状态的how疑问句→多少有些否定意思的回答 只要把题目中的how，secretary，doing结合起来就抓住了题目的核心：“秘书做得怎么样?”像本题这样，题目越长就越需要提炼核心的能力。(A) 如果问题是对于预备职员的评价是可以成为答案的。(B) 现在做的还不是很好的多少有些否定意思的回答。
