　　答案解析

Section A(1-8)

1. W：I’d like to take a trip to Florida for my spring break. Can you give me any idea where to go?

M：I could tell you about the places I’ve visited, but I think you’d better look up a travel agency to help with the arrangements.

Q：What does the man suggest the woman do?

【答案解析】C 本题询问男士建议女士做什么。男士说道“你最好找一家旅行社帮忙安排行程”，C选项“咨询一下旅行社”是对此的同义转述，因此正确。

2. M：I’m really tired of driving at night even though the traffic seems fine.

W：I see. Let’s stop for some food and then find a motel nearby so we can start early tomorrow.

Q：What do we learn about the speakers?

【答案解析】A 对话中男士说“即使交通顺畅我也不喜欢夜间驾驶”，这表明他很可能在驾车;接着女士说道“在附近找家汽车旅馆吧，这样明天我们就能提早出发”，由此可知男士的确正在驾车且明天还要继续驾车，综上可以推断他们正在开车进行长途旅行，因此A选项正确。

3. M：Jeff’s got a lot of good ideas. Do you think he’s willing to come to the meeting?

W：Oh, I think he’d be glad to come, but what’s difficult is getting the guy to speak before a large crowd.

Q：What does the woman imply about Jeff?

【答案解析】C 女士说“但说服这个家伙在很多人面前说话很难”，这说明Jeff不喜欢或不情愿在很多人面前说话，C选项是女士话语的合理推断，因此正确。

4. W：I hear you are leaving the company and going back to school this year.

M：Yes. I’m enrolled in a graduate programme in public administration.

Q：What is the man going to do?

【答案解析】B 男士说“是的。我被一个公共管理的研究生项目录取了”，前面的“是的”肯定了女士所说的“你要离开公司重返校园”这一事件，后半部分对其进行进一步补充说明。由此可知，男士打算在学业上进一步深造，B选项是对此的合理推断，因此正确。

5. W：Have you applied for the art director position?

M：No. I’d like to, but the job starts on the first of May, and I won’t be available until June.

Q：What does the man mean?

【答案解析】A 女士询问男士是否申请了艺术指导职位，男士答道“没有”，说明他没有去申请，接着男士解释道，工作5月开始，而自己6月才有时间，说明他不能在5月按时入职，A选项是男士话语的合理推断，因此正确。

6. W：Will my car be ready by the end of the day?

M：It should be. I’ll call if there’re any problems. We are open until six.

Q：What is probably the man’s job?

【答案解析】B 女士说“我的车今天之内能修好吗?”，说明女士在等着取回自己的车;而男士回答 “如果有任何问题，我会给你打电话”，由“问题”可知女士的车出现了问题，男士很可能是帮助女士修车的，B选项是对话内容的合理推断，因此正确。

7. W：I have a big paper due Monday, but I promised Laura we’d clean the apartment this weekend. What am I going to do?

M：Why don’t you just see if Laura can wait for a week or two?

Q：What does the man suggest the woman do?

【答案解析】D 联系女士的“我答应过 Laura这周末一起打扫公寓，我该怎么办?”这一语境可知，男士说“Laura能否等个一两周再打扫?”，言下之意是希望“打扫”推后。D选项是对男士话语的同义转述，因此正确。

8. W：Construction on the bridge has really slowed the traffic.

M：I know. Since they started working, the time it takes me to get to work has doubled.

Q：What are the speakers talking about?

【答案解析】A 当女士提出“桥上的施工严重阻碍了交通”时，男士说道“我花在上班路上的时间都加倍了”，言下之意是二人都因为“施工”延长了在路上的时间，这显然是他们不希望的。由此推断，A选项的problem正是对“阻碍交通”和“时间加倍”的合理概括，因此A选项正确。
