中级问题
当题目中有人名出现时，一定要在对话开始时就把握好出场人物的名字。男子是Gale；女子是Julie。题目的中心词是suggest，男子对话中“Do you want to…?”一句就是表达提议的意思，把握了这一点不难选出正确答案。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】中级问题
Julie对于Gale一起搭车的提议的回答是以“Thanks, Gale, but…(谢谢，Gale，但是……)”为开始，可以预测后面说的应该就是本题的正确答案，所以听的时候要注意后面部分。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】中级问题
对话中先说到了搭车的提议，接着是Julie拒绝了邀请，后面的部分就是有关Gomes的信息了。对话后面部分出现的关于Gomes的信息有：最近搬家到Julie住处附近，以前曾经和Gale在同一个部门工作，非常守时等等。当然，如果不知道选项中punctual这个词的意思的话，本题就很难解决了。
