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.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　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(tīng)音時(shí)一定要聽(tīng)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。

　　24. What is the man’s opinion of the city?

　　【解析】選[C]。選項(xiàng)表明本題最有可能在考查城市對(duì)孩子的影響，[B]與其他選項(xiàng)明顯不同，可能不是答案，故初步排除。對(duì)話中女士指出There is so much for young people to see and do。男士則回答說(shuō)Not just for young people，并表示自己也從未去過(guò)自然歷史博物館，言下之意是說(shuō)無(wú)論對(duì)孩子還是對(duì)成年人而言，城市都不失為一個(gè)好地方，因此選[C]。

　　25. What do we know about the woman according to the conversation?

　　【解析】選[D]。選項(xiàng)均以She開(kāi)頭，因此要注意聽(tīng)女士的行為或意見(jiàn)。[A]與女士說(shuō)的as a working woman矛盾。根據(jù)第22題的分析，[B]與對(duì)話主旨明顯相反。[C]在文中沒(méi)有涉及。對(duì)話結(jié)尾，女士建議下周末一起去自然歷史博物館，因此[D]項(xiàng)正確。
