13.W:I don’t really see why you want to buy a tape�瞨ecorder; after all, we’ve got a record�瞤layer.

　　M:It’s just I want one, that’s all.

　　Q:What did the man want to buy?

　　【解析】D女士說(shuō)：我不明白你為什么想買個(gè)錄音機(jī)，我們已經(jīng)有一個(gè)播放機(jī)了。男士說(shuō)：我就是想要一個(gè)。所以，男士想買的是一個(gè)錄音機(jī)。

　　14.M:It seems to me that I can’t find Park Street on the map. It’s not far from here, I believe.

　　W:Why not ask someone where it is?

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　【解析】C男士說(shuō)：我在地圖上找不到公園街了，我相信一定離這兒不遠(yuǎn)。女士說(shuō)：為什么不問(wèn)問(wèn)人那個(gè)地方在哪兒呢?女士的意思是建議男士去尋求幫助。

　　15.M:I think it’s high time we turned our attention to the danger of drunk driving now.

　　W:I can’t agree with you more. You see, countless innocent people are killed by drunk drivers each year.

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　【解析】D男士說(shuō)：我們是時(shí)候該注意酒后駕駛的危險(xiǎn)了。女士說(shuō)：我再同意不過(guò)了，每年有無(wú)數(shù)無(wú)辜的人被酒后駕車的司機(jī)致死。因此，女士的意思是應(yīng)該注意到酒后駕車的危害性。

　　16.M:If I were you, I’d ride a bike to work. Taking a crowded bus during rush hours is really terrible.

　　W:Thank you for your advice, but my bike has got a flat tyre.

　　Q: How would the woman most probably get to work?

　　【解析】A關(guān)鍵詞在于flat tyre車胎沒(méi)氣了。男士說(shuō)：如果我是你我會(huì)騎自行車去上班。在上班高峰期擠公車是在太糟糕了。女士說(shuō)：謝謝你的建議，但是我自行車車胎沒(méi)氣了。那么，由此可見(jiàn)，女士仍然會(huì)擠公車上班去。

　　17.M:John looks good in that old jacket, doesn’t he? The color goes well with his hair.

　　W: I still wish he’d get a new one.

　　Q: What’s the woman’s opinion?

　　【解析】D男士說(shuō)：約翰穿那件舊夾克很好看啊，顏色跟他的頭發(fā)很協(xié)調(diào)。女士說(shuō)：我還是希望他穿件新的。因此，女士的建議是：John should get a new jacket.

　　18.M:Today, my boss said that he would fire me if I make another mistake. But that was not my mistake. It was Jim’s.

　　W:You’d better tell him the truth honestly and directly, and he will understand you.

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　【解析】C男士說(shuō)：老板說(shuō)如果我再犯錯(cuò)就炒我魷魚(yú)，但事實(shí)上那不是我的錯(cuò)是吉姆的錯(cuò)。女士說(shuō)：你應(yīng)該把真相直接地坦誠(chéng)地告訴他，他會(huì)理解你的。

　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.

　　Conversation One

　　W:I haven’t seen you here for a couple of weeks. Have you stopped eating, or something?

　　M:No, does look like I’ve stopped eating? I’ve been spending a lot of time in the library.

　　W: Working on the paper?

　　M:I wish I was working on a paper. I’m working on three different papers: anthropology, English lit and history.

　　W: Wow, that is a lot of work.

　　M:Yeah, and what’s frustrating is that I am studying the 19th century British Empire in all three classes. But I can’t just write a single paper for all three.

　　W: Why not?

　　M:The professors won’t let me even if I can make it three times as long as the suggested length.

　　W:Oh, that’s too bad. Could you write your papers on three aspects of one topic?

　　M:Mm, what do you mean? Do you have something in mind?
