14. W: These tomatoes are huge and fat. You must have watered and fertilized them a lot.

Q: Where did this conversation most probably take place?
【解析】選[D]。男士說等下周五聚會的時候西紅柿就該熟透了，再結合女士話中的These tomatoes 及watered and fertilized them推斷，兩人應是在花園里針對西紅柿植株展開對話的，因此選[D]。
15. M: I’m really enjoying that literature with Professor Benson. Was the lecture this morning interesting?
W: To tell you the truth, I was so exhausted from staying up last night to finish the reading that I didn’t get much out of it.
Q: What does the woman mean?
【解析】選[B]。so exhausted...that I didn’t get much out of it說明女士太疲倦了，所以沒怎么聽Professor Benson講的課。so...that...結構與too...to...結構意思相同，exhausted ≈ tired，get out of ≈ learn from，因此選項[B]正確。stay up意為“熬夜”。
