答案解析:
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(yǔ)中，表示"是某人喜愛或擅長(zhǎng)的事物"。由女士所說(shuō)的that's not my cup of tea可知她并不喜歡交響樂(lè)。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(wèn)女士他能不能把工作申請(qǐng)表帶回家去填，下周再交回來(lái)。女士說(shuō)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(shuō)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(lái)，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(méi)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(jī)的事多說(shuō)(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! Q: What can we infer from the man's reply? 【解析】選[C]。I wouldn't have missed it for anything意思是"我不會(huì)因?yàn)槿魏问虑槎e(cuò)過(guò)它"，由此推測(cè)，男士應(yīng)該很喜歡并觀看了昨晚的比賽。[C]項(xiàng)正確。
17. W: Mike is very good at electrical appliances. You should get him to take a look and see if he can do something about it. M: Yeah, I will. But let me check and see if it's still under warranty. Q: What will the man probably do? 【解析】選[A]。女士建議男士找Mike幫忙修理電器，男士說(shuō)他要先看看是不是還在保修期內(nèi)(if it's still under warranty)。保修期內(nèi)的商品是可以免費(fèi)維修的(be fixed for free)，因此選項(xiàng)[A]正確。
18. W: Wednesdays are going to be busy days for me next semester. Three class in the morning and then two more in the afternoon. I won't even have time for lunch. M: You really should try to fit it in, you know. Those afternoon classes would be tough to sit through with empty stomach. Q: What does the man suggest the woman should do? 【解析】選[B]。解答此題的關(guān)鍵是明確男士話中fit it in 的含義：it指代lunch，fit it in指make time for lunch，即他建議女士再忙也要抽時(shí)間吃午飯。另外由be tough to sit through with empty stomach也可以推知答案。
Conversation One
M: Excuse me. Are you going to buy concert tickets? W: Yes, I am. So are all these people in front of me. M: Have you been here long? W: About 45 minutes. I've moved forward a total of about 3 feet in that time. M: You are kidding. W: Not at all. There was a couple up ahead of me who got so disgusted and they finally gave up and left. They said they'd been waiting for more than an hour. M: Terrific. Does anyone know what's causing the delay? W: If so, no one has let us know. It could be that there aren't enough people selling tickets this afternoon. Or maybe their computer is down. I'm sure the concert hasn't been cancelled. M: I just hope they don't run out of tickets before I get up there. W: That really would be annoying, wouldn't it? M: I guess I should have come before lunch. Or has it been like this all day? W: Apparently it has. In fact, before I came I tried calling to charge my tickets over the phone, just to avoid this long wait. But they are not taking phone orders, or checks, or credit cards. It's cash or nothing, and you have to come in person. M: Well, there are two more hours before the tickets office closes. Tickets for a good concert are worth waiting for. So I think I'll just make myself comfortable.

19. What do we learn about the woman's opinion about what's happening? 【解析】選[D]。選項(xiàng)表明本題很可能考查女士對(duì)purchase的看法，[C]與此關(guān)系不大，很可能不是答案，故可初步排除。從對(duì)話中的buy concert tickets和all these people in front of me可以判斷女士是在排隊(duì)買票。女士說(shuō)自己等了45 minutes，之后又補(bǔ)充說(shuō)a couple ... finally gave up and left，這些都說(shuō)明她為了買到tickets而情愿等候。選項(xiàng)[D] ...resigned to the situation"順從了這種情形"符合題干要求及對(duì)話中所描述的事實(shí)。
20. How are people expected to purchase their tickets? 【解析】選[C]。預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)可知此題考查的是付款方式。女士最后說(shuō)，they are not taking phone orders, or checks, or credit cards. It's cash or nothing, ...。這就說(shuō)明付款時(shí)除了cash"現(xiàn)金"，其他方式都不行，因此選[C]。選項(xiàng)[B]中的charge ...to one's account意為"把...記在某人賬上，賒購(gòu)"。
21. What will the man probably do next? 【解析】選[A]。選項(xiàng)表明本題是在考查男士將要做出的行為。男士在對(duì)話結(jié)束時(shí)說(shuō)"Tickets for a good concert are worth waiting for"，這表明他肯定會(huì)繼續(xù)等下去，因此選[A]。Conversation Two
M: You like living in the city, don't you? W: Oh, I love it. It's so convenient. I can take the bus to work, or the subway, or the taxi. And there is so much to do. M: I know what you mean. I'd like to live in the city, too, but to live in the suburbs is better for children. W: Well, there are a lot of good things about suburban living. But, as a working woman, I think a city has all the conveniences - including the best food and fastest news. M: But there are more trees, grass and fresh air in the suburbs. W: Yeah, but living in a city, it's convenient to go everywhere. There are lots of movie houses, theaters and so on. You can take them to the suburbs on the weekends. M: Yeah, children are the right age. There are lots of things for them here. W: You are right. They are at the library in Brooklyn. And they come back home for lunch, then go uptown to the Museum of Natural History. There is so much for young people to see and do. M: Not just for young people. What about me? I've never been to the Museum of Natural History. W: Neither have I. When I was a child, I used to go to the Museum of Art. M: I've been there several times. Twice with children. W: Well, I have an idea. Next weekend, we go to the Museum of Natural History. M: Ok, that's really a very nice idea.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What are the two speakers mainly talking about? 【解析】選[B]。選項(xiàng)表明本題考查對(duì)話的主題。對(duì)話涉及面廣，話題分散，但還是有一定的邏輯順序，即先是比較城市和郊區(qū)各自的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，然后集中到城市設(shè)施對(duì)孩子成長(zhǎng)的重要性，最后以下周末的活動(dòng)安排輕松結(jié)束了討論。[B]符合題意，[D]具有一定的干擾性，但并不是主要探討的內(nèi)容。
23. What does the man think of living in the suburbs? 【解析】選[C]。聽音時(shí)一定要聽清問(wèn)題，將不同人物的信息對(duì)號(hào)入座。選項(xiàng)[A]、[B]是女士對(duì)于在市內(nèi)生活的看法，與題干不符。對(duì)話中男士指出：there are more trees, grass and fresh air in the suburbs，[C]是對(duì)此的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。
