CONVERSATION9. F：“你来照看孩子们， 我来洗餐具怎么样？”M：“公平合理， 行。”“fair enough (说的对，有道理， 感情好)” 与 “done（行， 好）” 都常用于口语， 表示同意。因此B为答案。10. M：“你觉得昨晚的聚会如何？”F：“我是第一次参加这样的聚会。 我有点儿拘谨。”F的回答是本文的问题所在。 她是第一次参加（否定了D）， 所以ill at ease (局促不安， 不自在)， 并非是A: 生病不能去， 在这种状态下， 她自然也不会C: 享受与他人交际的乐趣 了， 所以选B最合适。11. F：“我能否在做作业前到外边透口气？”M：“绝对不行”take breath:歇口气， 歇儿会， 透口气No way: （口）没有可能， 相当于not at all, not under any conditions， 在这里表示拒绝， 不同意，因此答案为B。12. M：“上周George 因驾车超速被罚款。”F：“那可给了他个教训。 如果他再不开始开车慢一些小心一些的话， 准得闯车祸。”问George上周发生了什么事。 根据上下文， ticket 应理解为“违反交通规则的罚款单， 通知单”， 而非“票”， F 的回答只是说明“如果”， 而非真的“遇到车祸”， teach sb a lesson= give sb a lesson 意思是“给某人个教训”， 据此可得出正确答案为A。13. M：“我听说最近你很忙。”F：“是啊， 下班后我在参加会计统计学和经济学的课程。 我想学完之后换一下当历史教师的工作。”本文的问题是F可能会做哪方面的工作。 如果听清了F 的回答， 可以推测她想从事与会计经济和统计有关的工作，而不会再教历史了；运用常识可知，B：物理；D：计算机与这些课程都没关系，只有C：商业管理最需要这方面的知识，因此C是最可能的答案。14. F：“Sally是个美国人， 但却在远东过了大半生。“M：“怪不得她的日语和汉语讲得和英语一样好。“这是个细节测试题， 问Sally的国籍是哪里。尽管四个选择项在文中都出现过， 但只要听清F的陈述， 就可直接回答出了。15. M：“Marry， 旅馆接待员告诉我附近有个中国餐馆，今晚咱们去那吃晚饭如何？”F：“哎， 但我乘了很久的飞机后累极了，今晚确实不想再出去了。”本题要求判断对话发生的地点。根据对话可以推测他们刚下了飞机， 正商量到哪吃饭的问题，关键词the hotel clerk, hotel可以帮助我们了解此刻他们正在旅馆里， 所以C为最佳选择。16. F：“你想和我们一起去看杂技表演吗？”M：“项目报告使我现在忙得不可开交。”F邀请M同去看表演， 但M说他手头的事情应接不暇， 委婉地表示拒绝， 所以应选C。 词组have ones hands full 是理解本文的关键， 它的意思是“忙得不可开交， 手头的事应接不暇”另外：have ones hands free: 空着手，没事情干have ones hand in: 经常练习，保持熟练17. M：“你想让我买些什么？ 我现在要走了。”F：“买一夸脱牛奶和一个面包。”本文要求根据对话内容推测M要去哪里。 四个选择分别是：超级市场；：邮局；：餐馆；：酒吧；从对话中可知，要去买牛奶和面包，根据常识，在超市里可以买到牛奶和面包；邮局是不卖食品的；餐馆和酒吧，都是在里边消费，而不带走食物的，因此应选。pick up: 拿起，重新得到，改进，获得，买到，看到，听到，带走等等，quart: 夸脱，液量单位，等于1/4加仑或2品脱, 约0.95升（美制）或1.14升（英制）SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST18. 细节内容测试题。 需要对原文的全面理解，否则很容易受到几个感染项的干扰。 根据原文 “They are accused of attempting to extort, the recorder was stolen along with” 有助选出最佳答案 。19. 测试具体内容的细节题。 根据原文中“maintain their trade and economic boycott ”可以得出答案为C。20. 测试地点的细节题。 可从文中直接获得答案D。21. 测试内容的细节题。 在理解全文相关内容的基础上可以推测出答案为C。22. 细节内容测试题。 从文中首句可以间接得出答案为C。23. 原因测试题。 根据文中相关内容， 可以推测其无法解决问题的根本原因在于A.24. 测试对全文内容的理解。 根据文中 “they have more elephants than their land can sustain” 可以得出答案为A。25. 测试原因的细节题。 原文中 “illegal poaching that prompted the ban”有助于我们找到正确答案B。TAPESCRIPT OF DICTATIONPART II DICTATION Listen to the following passage.
