月托福听 力原文

Part A

1. M: I’m really having trouble with this calculus(

微积分

) course. If I can’t start doing better

soon, I’m going to have to drop it.

W: Why don’t you get some help from the graduate assistance. That’s what it is there for.

Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

2. W: Hey, don’t forget to drop that book off at the library on your way home.

M: Oh, thanks for reminding me. I am on my way.

Q: What will the man probably do next?

3.

W:

I

sure

wish

I

had

a

metric(

米制的）

ruler

with

me.

I

need

the

measurements

in

millimeters, not in inches

，

I’m tired of converting.

M: Would it make things go faster if you borrowed mine?

Q: What does the man imply?

4. M: Good news. I’m not gonna need surgery after all. The doctor says I can start working

out again soon. And maybe play soccer again in a few weeks.

W: That’s terrific. It would be

great if you could get back in

shape

in

time for the

state

tournament.

Q: What does the woman mean?

5. M: I already know what I want to take next semester. So why do I have to make an

appointment to see my advisor? All I need is her signature on my course sheet.

W: I’m afraid it doesn’t work that way. She has to talk with you to make sure everything is

on the right track.

Q: What does the woman mean?

6. W: Prof. Smith sure was acting strangely today.

M: I noticed that too. She was talking so quietly and then not giving us any homework.

Can you believe that?

Q: What can be inferred about Prof. Smith?

7. M: It’s been pouring for three days now. I begin to wonde

r if it will ever stop.

W: And tomorrow is going to be my day at the beach. But if it doesn’t clear up by then, I’ll

just have to forget about that.

Q: What does the woman imply?

8. M: What a boring speaker! I could hardly keep from falling asleep.

W:

Oh, I don’t know about that. In fact, it’s been a long time since I have heard anyone as

good.

Q: What does the woman mean?

9. W: Gee, Tom, I hear that you are working as a house painter this summer. It’s got to be

awfully hot working up there on a ladder in the blazing sun all day.

M: Well, its hard work, but I get to be outdoors and the pay is decent.

Q: What does the man imply?

10. W: I’ve been working on this report all day. And I’ve still got 12 pages to write. At this

rate, I’ll never get it done

by tomorrow.

M:

Oh,

that’s

right.

You

weren’t

in

class

today,

so

you

probably

haven’t

heard

that

the

deadline has been extend a week.

Q: What does the man imply?

11. M: Can you believe the way Larry was talking to his roommate? No wonder they don’t

get along.

M: Well, maybe Larry was just reacting to something his roommate said. There are two

sides to every story you know.

Q: What does the woman mean?

12. M: I just called the travel agent. It’s all set. On June first, I’m heading for mountains for

an entire week.

W: Have

you checked the academic calendar? Because my classes

aren’t over till the

seventh.

Q: What does the woman imply?

13.

M: What

sort

of

grade

did

you

get

on

your

research

paper?

I

know

how

hard

you

worked on it.

W: Yeah, Well, I was hoping for something really good. But the professor said

that I made too many broad claims that weren’t supported enough.

Q:

14. W: The state ballet is coming to town next weekend, and I can’t find a ticket anywhere.

M: You know, my sister just happen

s to have one and she can’t go. She’s got some sort of

conflict in her schedule.

Q: What does the man imply the woman should do?

15. M: Have you found out yet what hotel you will be staying in? I’m at the Gorden right

across the street from the conference center.

W: Huh, lucky you. I’m at the Apple Gates six miles away.

Q: What does the woman mean?

16.

W:

Joe,

I

thought

your

article

on

the

school

newspaper

was

right

on

target.

You

certainly convinced me anyway.

M: Thanks Mary. Unfortunately, based on the general response, you and I are definitely in

the minority.

Q: What does the man mean?

17. W: Why didn’t you go to the hockey finals last weekend? You missed a great game.

M: Oh, come on. You know how sensitive I am to loud noise.

Q: What can be inferred about the man?

18.

W:

I

know

I

promised

to

drive

you

to

the

airport

next

Tuesday.

But

I

am

afraid

something has come up. And they’ve called a special meeting at work.

M: No big deal. Karen said she was available as a backup.

Q: What does the man mean?

19. M: My telephone doesn’t seem to be working. And I have lots of calls that I have to

return this afternoon.

W: Fell free to use mine if you want. I’ll be in a meeting till five.

Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

20. M: I don’t think we have nearly enough information for our financial plan. But it’s due

tomorrow. So I guess there isn’t lot we can do about it.

W: Guess not. At this point, we will just have to make do with what we have got.

Q: What will the speakers probably do?

21. W: Ever since your girlfriend moved to Bridgeport, you are always driving there. How

many trips a week do you make anyway?

M: I have lost count(

搞不清楚

). But I can do it with my eyes closed.

Q: What does the man mean?

22. M: I’ve noticed that you spend a lot

of time tending to your garden. Do you think you

might like to join the university gardening club? We meet every other Tuesday.

W: Oh, thanks for the invitation. But this is how I relax. I’d rather not make it something

formal and structured.

Q: What does the woman imply?

23. M: Does this music bother your studying, Pam?

W: Actually I’m not studying anymore, but I’m trying to sleep.

Q: What does Pam imply?

24. W: I think we should hold our first committee meeting in one of the meeting rooms of

the library. So far, there are 8 of us who plan to come.

M: Wow, if it there weren’t more than four, I’d say that we have it over at my place. But with

8 of us, I guess I’d have to get along with your suggestion.

Q: What does the man imply?

25. M: I just don’

t know if you should call everyone to collect the data or just send out a

questionnaire. But you’d better make a decision soon.

W: I know, there is only one month till the election.

Q: What does the woman mean?

26. W: What’s with you? You sure don’t loo

k like yourself.

M: Stay away form me. I don’t know what I’ve got. But whatever it is, you don’t want to

catch it.

Q: What can be inferred about the man?

27. W: You waited at the Tera’s Cafe yesterday, didn’t you? Was there much of a wait to

be seated?

M: Was there? Wish I’d brought a book or something to occupy my time.

Q: What does the man imply about the Tera’s Cafe?

28. W: I thought there was still time for me to apply for student loan. But someone just told

me that the closing date was last Wednesday.

M: Are you sure? I thought we still had another month. Wait, I’ve got a brochure right here.

Yeah, Wednesday was the opening date.

Q: What does the man imply?

29. M: This casserole(

砂锅菜

) really tastes good. I guess that’s because the vegetables in

it are fresh instead of canned.

M: I know. Kind of a rare treat in this cafeteria.

Q: What does the woman mean?

30. W: I don’t think I want to live in the dormitory next year. I need more privacy.

M: I know what you mean. But check out the cost of rent

ing an apartment first, I wouldn’t

be surprised if you changed your mind.

Q: What does the man think the woman will do?
