　　Listening Comprehension短对话答案

　　Section A

　　11.

　　M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask?

　　Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

　　【答案】B) Go and ask the staff.

　　W: I really enjoyed the TV special about drafts last night. Did you get home in time to see it?

　　W: Oh, yes, but I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【答案】A) He fell asleep in the middle of the TV program.

　　【解析】这是道判断推理题，考查男士的言下之意以及虚拟语气。could have done意为本可以做某事，但未做。从对话中可知，男士确实回家看了电视节目，但是他说道：I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing. 我真希望自己当时能再晚点睡着，这样我就可以看完整场节目了。说明他没有看完整场节目就睡着了。

　　13.

　　W: Airport, please. I’m running a little late. So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct.

　　M: Sure, but there 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airport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.

　　W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good.

　　M: Thank you, but I don’t eat shellfish. I’m allergic to it.

　　Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

　　【答案】A) In 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】这是道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.

　　W: I know 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】这是道判断推理题，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.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【答案】D) The woman is going to make her topic more focused.
