【答案解析】[听力原文]15-17
W: Did a lot of people attend the lecture?
M: Well, yes and no.
W: What do you mean?
M: You see, the classroom was quite full at the beginning. Almost all the seats were occupied. But after the short rest, almost one-third of the audience left.
W: Terrible! That was a very rude thing. I should have been there. I had told the students to behave themselves. I do hope Professor Black was not angry.
M: What do you mean? He wasn't even there.
W: What? Professor Black did not come?
M: No, his lecture is Thursday next week, not this Thursday.
W: Oh, yes, of course. How silly of me!
在第一轮对话中女士问参加讲座的人多不多,得到了男士的肯定答复。而在第二轮对话中,男土的最后一句指出:...almost one-third of the audience left,即在中途休息时三分之一的听众都走了。结合这两个方面可知应选[C]。
单选题
Who gave the lecture this Thursday? [A] Professor Black. [B] The woman speaker. [C] They didn't mention his or her name.
单选题
What did the woman mean by saying "How silly of me".? [A] She meant it was silly of her not to attend the lecture. [B] She meant it was silly of her to blame the students. [C] She meant it was silly of her to mix up the dates of the lectures.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】由前面两题的分析可以看出,女士误以为讲座是Black教授作的,其实不是。在第四轮对话中,男士指出女士把日期搞错了,所以女士才说“How silly of me”,故答案是[C]。
