’
m running a little late.
So just take the fastest way even if

direct.

is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of
the football game.
Q: What do we learn
about the woman from the conversation?
【答案】
B) She is worried about
missing her flight.
【解析】这是道场景题，略有难度。刚开始
，我们还无法很快判断出该对话发生的场景，很
多同学一听到
a
irport
可能会误以为对话发生在机场，但如果我们继续听下去，就会发现，
该对话应该发生在出租车上，因为女士说了句
“请选择最快的路”
，
而男士说
“因为有球赛，
所以到处都交通拥堵”可以帮助我们再次确认对话发生的场景。选项
A
不对，原文是说要
挑
the fastest
way
哪怕不是
the most direct way
；选项
C
也不准确，才刚上车，并没有拥堵
，
司机只是提前说明因为球赛会碰到拥堵；选项
D
错误，女士是为了赶去乘飞机的，而不是
去看球赛。
14.

it.
Q: Where does this conversation
most probably take place?
【答案】
A) At a restaurant
【解析】这是道场景题，较为简单。从对话中可知，女士希望向男士推荐一道菜，从首句中
即可推断出该对话最有可能发生在餐馆中，男士说，他过敏，
不吃贝壳类
海鲜，可以帮助我
们再次确认对话发生的场景。
15.
W: Now one
more question if you don
’
t
mind, what position in the company appeals to you
most?
M: Well,
I
’
d like the position of
sales manager if that position is still vacant.
Q: What do we learn about the man?
【答案】
A) He is being
interviewed for a job.
【解析】这是较为简单的细节推理题。
从
position, company
这几个关键词中，我们就可以
快速判断出此题的场景为面试，因此男士应该正在接受一
场面试。
C
选项错误，他想要销
售经理的职位，但并不表示他本身就是销售经理。
16.
M: I
don
’
t think I want to live
in the dormitory next year. I need more privacy.

what
you
mean.
But
check
out
the
cost
if
renting
an
apartment
first.
I
won
’
t
be
surprised if you change
your mind.
Q: What does the woman
imply?
【答案】
B) The man is
unlikely to move out of the dormitory.
【解析】这是推理判断题，询问女士的言下之意。最后一句，女士表示“你改变主意的话，
我不会觉得奇怪”
，可知，男士不太可能搬出宿舍。
A
选项是个干扰项，虽然该选项看上去
意思和
B
选项差不多，
但对话中并没有提到男士想找一个更安静的地方，
他想搬离寝室，
是
为了更多的个人空间
。
17.
M: You
’
re on the
right track. I just think you need to narrow the
topic down.

you
’
re right. I always start
by choosing two boarder topics when
I
’
m doing a research
paper.
Q: What do we learn
from the conversation?
【答案】
D) The woman is going to
make her topic more focused.
【解析】这是推理判断
题。从对话中可知，男士希望女士缩小主题的范围，女士回答“你是
对的。
”说明女士会采纳男士的建议，缩小主题。
18.
W: This picnic should
beat the last one we went to,
doesn
’
t it?
M:
Oh, yeah, we had to spend the whole time inside.
Good thing, the weather was cooperative
this time.
Q: What do we
learn about the speakers from the conversation?
【答案】
B) They
didn
’
t quite enjoy their
last picnic.
【解析】这是推理判断题。
bea
t
一词是个难点，
beat
本意有“打
败”的意思，这次的野餐
打败了上次，即这次比上次好，下文中，男士说“上次我们不得
不呆在室内，但这次天气不
错。
”可以再次确认他们不喜欢上次
的野餐，因此，正确答案为
B
。
Conversation One
【听力原文】
M: When I say I live in Sweden, people
always want to know about the seasons.
W: The seasons?
M: Yeah, you
know how cold it is in winter? What is it like
when the days are so short?
W: So what
is it like?
M: Well, it is cold, very
cold in winter. Sometimes it is cold as 26 degrees
below centigrade. And of
course when
you go out, you
’
ll wrap up
warm. But inside in the houses
it
’
s always very warm,
much warmer than at home. Swedish
people always complain that when they visit
England, the
houses are cold even in
the good winter.
W: And what about the
darkness?
M:
Well,
yeah,
around
Christmas
time
there
’
s
only
one
hour
of
daylight,
so
you
really
looks
forward to the spring. It is sometimes
a bit depressing. But you see the summers are
amazing,
from May to July in the North
of Sweden the sun never sets.
It
’
s still light in the
midnight. You
can walk in the mountains
and read a newspaper.
W: Oh, yeah, the
land of the midnight sun.
M: Yeah,
that
’
s right, but
it
’
s wonderful. You want to
stay up all night, and the
Sweden
’
s made
most
of
it.
Often
they
started
work
earlier
in
summer
and
then
leave
at
about
2
or
3
in
the
afternoon, so that they
can really enjoy the long summer evenings.
They
’
d like to work hard,
but
play hard, too. I think Londoners
work longer hours, but I
’
m
not sure this is a good thing.
