 Section A（1-8）

1. M: Did you buy any of the sweaters that were on sale?

  W: Buy any? I got five of them. They were such a good bargain.

  Q: What does the woman say about the sweaters?

【答案解析】B  男士询问女士有没有购买特价毛衣，女士说“They were such a good bargain”，这句话的含义是“它们实在太划算了”，从而得出“这些毛衣物有所值”的结论，B选项为女士答语的同义转述，因此正确。

2. W: I have trouble concentrating when my roommate talks so loud on her mobile phone.

  M: Why don’t you just ask her to lower her voice?

  Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

【答案解析】A  当女士就室友打电话声音大向男士诉苦时，男士用“Why don’t you just”引出自己的具体建议：ask her to lower her voice，而此处的her正是女士的roommate。A选项not to speak loudly是原句lower her voice的同义转述，故正确。

3. W: Wendy’s in the basement, trying to fix the washing machine.

  M:Shouldn’t she be working on her annual report？

  Q: What does the man mean?

【答案解析】C  男士用否定疑问句“她不是应该在做年度报告吗”强调了写报告的重要性，结合女士提供的“Wendy正在地下室尝试修理洗衣机”这一语境，可以推知男士的意思是“写报告比修理洗衣机重要”，C选项推断合理，因此正确。

4. W: What happened to the painting that used to be on the wall?

  M: It fell down and the glass broke. I’m having it reframed.

  Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

【答案解析】D  女士询问“the painting that used to be on the wall”怎么了，男士回答“It fell down and the glass broke.”并补充道“I’m having it reframed”，It指代the painting，D选项为男士后一句话的同义转述，因此正确。

5. M: You must have left the camera in the market. It’s a very expensive camera you know.

  W: But I tell you that I didn’t take it. I remember clearly that you put it on the dressing table.

  Q: What does the woman say about the camera?

【答案解析】B  女士用“I remember clearly that you put it on the dressing table”指出之前男士把照相机放在了梳妆台上。根据常识可知梳妆台在卧室里，B选项是女士话语的合理推断，因此正确。

6. W: There is a good comedy on at the Theatre Royal next Saturday. If you like, I can book four seats for us.

  M: All right. I’ll ask Janet if she is free then. I’ll let you know tomorrow.

  Q: What does the woman suggest they do next Saturday?

【答案解析】A  从女士所说的“下周六皇家剧院会上演一部很棒的喜剧”可以看出下周的计划与comedy（喜剧）有关，同时“If you like, I can book four seats for us.”表明她希望大家一起去看，A选项与此表意一致，因此正确。

7. W: We’ve opened the first box. Look! Some of these books are soaked.

  M: They should’ve used waterproof wrappings. What are we going to do about it? It’s too late to order replacements.

  Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

【答案解析】D  女士说道“有些书浸湿了”，由此可知书受到了损坏，D选项与此含义相同，因此正确。男士说“It’s too late to order replacements”即预定新书too late，言下之意是现在不能订购替换品了，B、C两个选项与此表述不符，因此排除。

8. W: Professor Johnson said you can pick up your term paper at her office.

  M: So she has graded it?

  Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

 【答案解析】B  女士让男士取期末报告时男士所说的“she has graded it”使用现在完成时，说明报告已经被评分；并且男士用陈述语序去表达疑问语气，表明了他的惊讶或不情愿。由此可以推断“男士没料到这么快被评分”，因此B选项正确。
