　　Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension

　　Section A

　　11. M: Why don't you come to our home for dinner some time this week? I have practiced to improve my cooking.

　　W: I'd like to, but we have visitors from Finland, perhaps next week.

　　Q: Why can't the woman accept the man's invitation?

　　【解析】B)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是關(guān)于女士，由此暗示對(duì)話當(dāng)中應(yīng)該更加重視與女士有關(guān)的部分。男士邀請(qǐng)女士去他家吃晚飯(come to our home for dinner)，女士說(shuō)這個(gè)星期有芬蘭來(lái)的客人(visitors from Finland)要招待，可能要下個(gè)星期去。因?yàn)榕�士這個(gè)星期有客人，所以女士不能接受男士的邀請(qǐng)。故正確答案為B)。

　　12. M: I hope I won't oversleep. I've simply got to catch the first flight to New York.

　　W: If I were you, I'd request the wake-up call from the hotel reception.

　　Q: What does the woman advise the man do?

　　【解析】D)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是不定式，由此可以推斷，本題的內(nèi)容可能是目的或者動(dòng)作。 女士說(shuō)，如果我是你(If I were you)，就會(huì)要旅店提供叫醒電話(wake-up call)。由此可見(jiàn)，女士建議男士ask for a wake-up call，正確答案為D)。

　　13. M: I really had a busy week. I want to get some rest. I always enjoy a nap on Saturday afternoon.

　　W: I don't think you can. Mr. Smith has just parked his car at the door, and he is coming up now.

　　Q: What can we learn from this conversation?

　　【解析】B)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都更側(cè)重男士方面，由此暗示對(duì)話當(dāng)中應(yīng)該更加注意與男士相關(guān)的部分。 男士一般都在星期六下午睡個(gè)午覺(jué)(enjoy a long siesta on Saturday afternoon)，但女士說(shuō)Mr. Smith已經(jīng)在門(mén)口停車，馬上就來(lái)了(parked his car at the door，he is coming up)。由此可以推斷，男士今天不能睡午覺(jué)了(won't be able to enjoy a nap)。故正確答案為B)。

　　14. W: How is George doing? Is he doing all right?

　　M: He is doing fine now. He planned to change his job for a while but finally decided to keep the present one.

　　Q: What can we learn about George in this conversation?

　　【解析】B)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是有關(guān)George和工作的關(guān)系，對(duì)工作的看法和態(tài)度，由此可以推測(cè)，本題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于George和工作的。 George的工作現(xiàn)在做得不錯(cuò)(doing fine)。雖然他想過(guò)換工作(planned to change his job)，但是他決定保留現(xiàn)有的工作(keep the present one)。故正確答案為B)。

　　15. W: Good morning. This is Dr.Allen's office.

　　M: Good morning. I'd like to make an appointment with Dr.Allen to have my teeth cleaned and checked. I'd like to have it done this week if possible.

　　Q: Who is the woman?

　　【解析】C)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是表示身份的詞，由此可以推測(cè)，本題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于某人的身份。男士要和牙醫(yī)預(yù)約洗牙和檢查(have my teeth cleaned and checked)。由此可見(jiàn)，女士應(yīng)該是牙醫(yī)診所的接待員(receptionist)。故C)為正確答案。
