听力原文及答案

PartIIIListeningComprehension

SectionA

11.M:Whydon'tyoucometoourhomefordinnersometimethisweek?Ihavepracticed

toimprovemycooking.

W:rdliketo,butwehavevisitorsfromFinland,perhapsnextweek.

Q:Whycan'tthewomanaccepttheman，sinvitation?

【解析IB)。四个选项都是关于女土，由此喑示对话当中应该更加重视与女士有关的部分。

男士邀请女士去他家吃晚饭(cometoourhomefordinner),女士说这个星期有芬兰来的

客人(visitorsfromFinland)要招待，可能要下个星期去。因为女士这个星期有客人，

所以女上不能接受男士的邀请。故正确答案为B)。

12.M:IhopeIwon5toversleep.I'vesimplygottocatchthefirstflighttoNew

York.

W:IfIwereyou,I'drequestthewake-upcallfromthehotelreception.

Q:Whatdoesthewomanadvisethemando?

【解析】D)。四个选项都是不定式，由此可以推断，本题的内容可能是目的或者动作。女

士说，如果我是你(IfIwereyou),就会要旅店提供叫醒电话(wake-upcall)。由此可见，

女士建议男士askforawake-upcall,正确答案为D)。

13.M:Ireallyhadabusyweek.Iwanttogetsomerest.Ialwaysenjoyanapon

Saturdayafternoon.

W:Idon，tthinkyoucan.Mr.Smithhasjustparkedhiscaratthedoor,andheis

comingupnow.

Q:Whatcanwelearnfromthisconversation?

【解析】B)。四个选项都更侧重男士方面，由此暗示对话当中应该更加注意与男士相关的部

分。男士一般都在星期六下午睡个午觉(enjoyalongsiestaonSaturdayafternoon),

但女士说Mr.Smith已经在门口停车，马上就来了(parkedhiscaratthedoor,heiscoming

up)o由此可以推断，男士今天不能睡午觉了(won'tbeabletoenjoyanap)。故正确答

案为B)o

14.W:HowisGeorgedoing?Ishedoingal1right?

M:Heisdoingfinenow.Heplannedtochangehisjobforawhilebutfinallydecided

tokeepthepresentone.

Q:WhatcanwelearnaboutGeorgeinthisconversation?

【解析】B)。四个选项都是有关George和工作的关系，对工作的看法和态度，由此可以推

测，本题的内容是关于George和工作的。George的工作现在做得不错(doingfine)。虽

然他想过换工作(plannedtochangehisjob),但是他决定保留现有的工作(keepthe

presentone)o故正确答案为B)。

15.W:Goodmorning.ThisisDr.Allen，soffice.

M:Goodmorning.I'dliketomakeanappointmentwithDr.Allentohavemyteeth

cleanedandchecked.I'dliketohaveitdonethisweekifpossible.

Q:Whoisthewoman?

【解析四个选项都是表示身份的词，由此可以推测，本题的内容是关于某人的身份。

男士要和牙医预约洗牙和检查(havemyteethcleanedandchecked)o由此可见,女士应

该是牙医诊所的接待员(receptionist)。故C)为正确答案。

16.M:ProfessorKennedyhasbeenverybusythissemester.AsfarasIknowheworks

tillmidnighteveryday.

W:Iwouldn，thavetroubledhimsomuchifIhadknownhewassobusy.

Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?

【解析】D)。四个选项都是有关女士和教授之间的关系，由此可以推测，本问题的内容是关

于女士和教授的学习和工作的。男士说教授这个学期很忙(verybusythissemester),每

天工作到深夜(workstillmidnighteveryday)o女上回答说如果早知道是这么忙就不会

那样麻烦他了(wouldn，thavetroubledhim)。由此可以推测女士很后悔占用了教授很长时

间(regretshavingtakenupmuchoftheprofessor*stime)o故D)为正确答案。

17.W:MayImakearecommendation,sir?Theclamswithourspecialsaucearegood.

They'refreshfromtheocean.

M:Thankyou,butIdon*tcareforclams.

Q:Wheredidthisconversationprobablytakeplace?

【解析】A)。四个选项都是表示地点场景的短语，由此可以推断，本题是考查关于某件事情

发生的地点。女士推荐说配特制酱汁的蛤蝴(Theclamswithourspecialsauce)很不错，

蛤蝌是刚从海里捕上来的(freshfromtheocean)0由此可见本对话发生在餐馆

(restaurant),故正确答案为A)。

18.W:Isupposeweshouldlookforabiggerhouse,butIdon'tseehowwecanafford

itrightnow.

M:Ifonlywehadn'tspentsomuchmoneyonourcarthisyear.

Q:Whatcanwelearnfromtheconversationaboutthespeakers?

【解析ID)。四个选项都是They可能会做出的选择，由此可以推断，本题是考查关于某些

人即将做出的决定。女士觉得应该找一间大一点的房子(lookforabiggerhouse),但目

前又承担(afford)不起。男士指出了负担不起的原因，今年花了钱在买汽车上(spentsomuch

moneyonourcar)o由此可见，他们无法换一间大点的房子，因为钱不够(don'thaveenough

money)<,故正确答案为D)。

Questions19to21arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.

19.Whatisthewoman*sproblem?

B)o【解析】四个选项均为现在完成进行时态，由此可以推断，本题考查的内容可能是某人

最近一段时间发生的事情或者持续的状态。女士解释说，抱歉，昨天没有来上课(missing

class)o男士说，并不仅仅是昨天，一共上过6次课，已经缺了4次。由此可见女士的问题

在于并没有每天都来上课(hasntbeenattendingclasseveryday)。故正确答案为B)。

20.Howmanyclasseshasthewomanattended?

A)o【解析】四个选项均为数字，由此可以推测，本题的考查内容是关于数字的。从男士

的话中可知，一共上过6次课，女士一共缺了4次(missed4)。相减得到女士上课的次数为

2次。故正确答案为A)。

21.Whatdoesthewomandecidetodo?

Oo【解析】四个选项均为不定式，由此可以推测，本题考查的内容可能是关于某个决定。

女士说如果可行，就决定退课(droptheclass)。可见女士打算放弃这门课程，故正确答案

为0。
