Part
A
1. W: Tina says you won’t be able to
make it to the meeting tomorrow
evening.
M: Yeah, sorry
about that. I just found out that I have to work
over time.
Q: What does the man mean?
2. W: Would you mind taking a picture
of me in front of the fountain?
M: Not
at all. But I’m not sure how this camera
works.
Q: What will probably
happen next?
3.
W:
Oh
my
goodness.
Your
help
services
card
is
sitting
right
here
in
your
file,
it
should
have
been sent out to you
weeks ago.
I hope you haven’t had any
need for it.
M: No, not yet.
But it’s nice to know I have it, so I don’t need
to reapply.
Q: What does the
man mean?
4. M: Excuse me, Pro.# But
I’m still confused, could you go over that last
point one more time?
W: Of
course, th
at’s what I’m here
for.
Q: What does the woman
mean?
5. M: I’m sorry I made you wait.
The bus was stuck in traffic and took forever to
get here.
W: No harm done. I
was able to catch up on some reading.
Q: What can be inferred about the
conversation?
6. M:
That’s a
really nice raincoat, Lisa.
W: Thanks. I like it too. If only it
had a heavy lining(
衬里
)
，
so I can wear it in winter too.
Q: What does the woman mean?
7. M: I just heard the news that Mary
won the election. That must be a big
disappointment for
you.
W:
Well,
actually,
she
probably was
the
best
candidate
this
time
around,
and
I
can
always
run
again
next year.
Q: What does the woman
imply?
8.
W:
Do
you
have
your
film
festival
schedule with you?
I’d
like
to find
out
what’s
playing
this
weekend.
M: I past it on to
my roommate, but there should be more in the
bookstore. I can pick one up for
you
next time I’m there.
Q: What
does the man offer to do?
9. W: My new
neighbor next door is really great. She’s got
fantastic collection of classical music, I
mean dozens of composers I’ve never
even he
ard of.
M: Hmm… Just
be careful Annie, a hobby like that can be
contagious
（感染的）
and
expensive.
Q: What does the man imply?
10. M: The bus they are renting to take
us to the museum? It’s goanna leave at ten in
front of the
library. So, let’s meet on
the libr
ary steps before ahead, ok?
W: Oh I thought I told you. I have a
dentist appointment this morning so I’m going to
meet up
with you guys downtown at the
museum, ok?
Q: What does the woman
imply?
11. M: Gee, you have a lot of
change in that jar. Are you a coin collector?
W: No, I’m just saving them for a rainy
day
（穷困时期）
.
Q:
What does the woman mean?
12. W: I saw
you in the lecture hall yesterday on your way out
to Pro. #’s philosophy class. I was
quite surprised, I couldn’t imaging you
are someone interested in philosophy.
M: I don’t know what’s so surprising,
there are lots of engineering students in that
class.
Q: What can be
inferred about the man?
13. M: Did I
hear that right? Our reports are due next Friday?
W: Just the introduction, the rest will
find out about today in class.
Q: What
does the woman mean?
14. M: This
painting would go great in my room, but they want
30 dollars for it and it’s probably
mostly for the frame.
W:
Then why don’t you see a few sellers
separately?(
分别找卖画与卖框的人
)
Q: What does the woman suggest the man
do?
15.
W:
Dr.
Smith,
this
is
#,
those
stretching
exercises(
伸展运动
)
you
recommended
are
really
helping with my back pain. But the
pills you prescribed, I think, they are giving me
a headache.
M: That’s not unusual,
let’s try cutting back(
削减
)
to just one a day, all right?
Q: What
does the man suggest the woman do?
16.
W: Congratulations, Tom. I heard you got a job
with the Wilson Company.
M: Hmm,
thanks, Pro.
#, but it’s a little too
soon for congratulation, all I got so far is an
interview,
early next week, on
Thursday.
Q: What does the man imply?
17. W: I’m never going to volunteer to
help Janet with the party again.
M: I know what you mean. We ended up
doing most of the cleaning-up.
Q: What
can be inferred about the party?
18. W:
This is a pretty small room to be sharing with
someone. Don’t you find it a little
crowded?
M: Well, I don’t
know about my roommate. But me, I’m used to being
a little cramped(
狭窄
). I
grew up with six brothers, remember?
Q: What does the man mean?
19. M: Excuse me, do you know what time
the train to Middle Town leaves?
W: You
mean left
？
the
last one was in eleven p.m. and
that’s
it, till tomorrow morning.
Q: What can be inferred from the
conversation?
20. M: I’m thinking about
wearing a suit to the party tonight, what do you
think?
W: Well, I haven’t
heard anything about dressing up. I bet a sweater
would be fine.
Q: What does
the woman suggest the man do?
21. M: If
you see your friend Julia in the next couple of
days, would you mind asking her to give
me a call, I was hoping she’d be able
to help out with course registration next
week.
W: Sure, Pro.#, if I
see her. She’s m
ade herself pretty
scarce lately
（她最近很少出现）
.
Q: What does the woman mean?
22. W: I’ve never seen a larger
collection of this author’s books than the one
here in this library.
It’s impressive
how many she managed to write in her
lifetime.
M: Yeah, actually
a lot more than even this collection was
suggested.
Q: What does the man imply
about the author’s books?
23. M: My boss keeps asking me to work
overtime but I always said no because I don’t
wanna
jeopardize
（影响、危害）
my studies, but I’m starting to waver(
动摇
).
W:
I wouldn’t give in if I were
you.
Q: What does the woman
mean?
24. M: What’s keeping Kevin? He
said last night he’d meet us here by 2 o’clock and
it’s already
2:30.
W: It’s
so typical of him, isn’t it? Just watch, he’s
going to show up in 5 minutes with s
ome
wild
（不着边际的）
excuse.
Q: What does the woman mean?
25. W: Wow, are all those books you’ve
got there required for the modern European history
class?
M: No, a lot of these
are listed are optional, but you know me, when I
do something, I do it 200
percent.
Q: What does the man mean?
26. M: Let’s go to a movie after
dinner.
W: That’s
attempting. However, the tennis tournament is
tomorrow, and I need to get in a short
practice session tonight.
Q:
What will the woman probably do this evening?
27. M: I just got t
his car
and already it’s falling apart. First, one of the
door handles fell off and
now the
inside light won’t go on when you open the
door.
W: Hey, what’s the big
deal? Falling apart is when your car needs a new
engine, like mine does.
Q:
What does the woman imply?
28. M: Oh,
Mrs. Wilson, now the classes are starting again
and I could probably keep working at
the front desk here if you are willing
to give me a flexible schedule and let me come in
and work
between classes, I really
would like to stay.
W: An
d
we’d like that too, trouble is, that means the
front desk won’t no way be covered and well,
the hotel just can’t operate that
way.
Q: What does the woman
mean?
29. W: You didn’t care for the
movie, did you?
M: You can
say that again.
Q: What does the man
mean?
30. M: That grade on my
philosophy paper? It really took me by surprise,
you know I work hard in
everything, but
I never thought I get such a high grade, I mean,
she actually gave me an A.
W: We’ll
look Pro. Li as fair, but, I wouldn’t call her
over
tly charitable, so you really have
yourself
to thank.
（我们认为李教授很公
正，但他不会过分慷慨，所以这这个成绩是你自己努力的结
果）
Q: What does the woman mean?
Part B
31-35
M:
We are almost finished. Could u hand me the white
pepper?
W: Why white pepper and not
black? Aren’t they the same thing
?
M: Well,
they
are
from
the
same
plant,
but
white
pepper
is
milder.
I
usually
prefer
it,
it
has
a
more subtle flavor.
W: How? If they’re from the same
plant?
M: Well. It sort of
depends on how ripe it is when it’s picked. You
sure ask a lot of questions.
W: That’s because u have all the
answers. Did u learn about this stuff in cooking
school?
M: Yeah, we study
all kinds of herbs and spices.
W: So go
on. It’s interesting. How do we get black pepper
done?
M: Eh. Well, the
pepper corn is actually a fruit. It
grows on vine, and it’s not really
black or white.
