Section A
11. M: Don’t you think this symphony is wonderful? I could listen to it all day.
W:That’s interesting. You’re the only one that feels that way as far as I know. I’m afraid that’s not my cup of tea.
Q: What does the woman mean?
【解析】選[C]。be one’s cup of tea常用于口語中,表示“是某人喜愛或擅長的事物”。由女士所說的that’s not my cup of tea可知她并不喜歡交響樂。另外,由You’re the only one that feels that way也可以推出答案。
12. M: Excuse me, I heard that there were a couple of jobs available in the library. So I’d like to apply for one of them. Can I fill out the application form at home and bring it back next week?
W: Sure, but you should know that we’re about to start looking at the applications, and we hope to make some job offers in a few days.
Q: What does the woman imply?
【解析】選[B]。男士問女士他能不能把工作申請(qǐng)表帶回家去填,下周再交回來。女士說他們打算開始瀏覽工作申請(qǐng)并希望再近幾天內(nèi)發(fā)出幾份錄用通知。女士說的but you should know that...表示提醒,可見她是想暗示男士盡早把申請(qǐng)表交上來,以免失去機(jī)會(huì)。
13. M: That’s a great dress, Cindy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you wear it before.
W: Oh, I have. It’s just that it’s sent back to my closet. My sister gave it to me like ages ago and I totally forgot about it.
Q: What does the woman imply?
【解析】選[A]。ages ago意為“很久以前”,結(jié)合it’s sent back to my closet和I totally forgot about it可推知女士已經(jīng)好久沒穿這件衣服了,因此選[A]。
14. W: Well, did you manage to get information from Professor Baker? When are our results coming in?
M: Well she was a bit tight-lipped about it.
Q: What can be inferred about Professor Baker?
【解析】選[B]。tight-lipped意為“嘴巴緊的”,指對(duì)某事保密、不愿透露消息。由she was a bit tight-lipped about it可知,Professor Baker不愿意就考試成績的事多說(not willing to say much)。
15. W: Who do you believe? James says Leon has been backstabbing him, but Leon claims he’s innocent. It’ll be hard for them to reconcile if this mess continues.
M: Well, It could be best to talk to both of them and see what lies underneath. There are two sides to every story you know.
Q: What does the man infer?
【解析】選[C]。It could be best to...表示建議。talk to both of them and see what lies underneath表明男士認(rèn)為需要進(jìn)一步了解情況(deeper investigation)才能弄清整件事情的是非曲直(right and wrongs of this issue)。
16. W: Did you watch the game last night?
M: I wouldn’t have missed it for anything!
