Part A
1. M：Sorry, but I can't go and have a cup of coffee with you now. I've
only
done half the readings for the philosophy class tomorrow.
W：And I thought I was a slow reader.
Q：What does the woman mean?
2. W：I entered one of my new photographs in the newspaper's contest.
M：If it's anything like the others you've shown me, I'm sure you'll
come
out on top(=win the contest)!
Q：What does the man mean?
3. W：You took the European literature class last year; are you interested
in
selling me any of the books?
M：I always hold on to them for future reference.
Q：What will the man probably do?
4. M：I haven't heard from Janet since she entered medical school. I
wonder
how she's doing.
W：Well, I understand she gave our department secretary her new address
and phone number. Why don't you try to get in touch with her?
Q：What does the woman suggest the man do?
5. M：Hi, I have a map of the campus, but I still can't find the building
with the new sculpture exhibit in it. Can you tell me how to get there?
W：That looks like an old map. Follow me; I'm going that way myself.
Q：What does the woman mean?
6. M：I just count my traveler's checks for the trip to California. I hope
300
dollars will be enough.
W：I guess I'd better do that before Friday uh? Maybe I can get to the
bank tomorrow after physics class.
Q：What can be inferred about the woman?
7. W: Sally and Mark haven't been talking to each other lately. I
wonder
what happened.
M: I haven’t the faintest idea.(我一點(diǎn)也不知道) But I'd stay out of it if I were
you.
Q: What does the man mean?
8. M: Did you hear that my parents are planning a trip to Vancouver?
W: What Philip? (菲利普，你剛才說什么來著?)
Q: What does the woman want to know?
9. M: I keep putting off getting my passport application.
W: Thank Goodness I didn't drag my feet on(拖拖拉拉)that one.
Q: What does the woman mean?
10 W: How about a couple of sets of tennis this weekend?
M: I don't know. My game's a little rusty.
Q: What does the man imply?
11 W: So, what did you think about the discussion at lunch? I didn't
realize
people have such strong feelings about politics.
M: Are you kidding? That subject always touches a nerve.
Q: What does the man mean?
12 M: I don't want to buy the book Prof. Brown told us to read for the
exam. Do you think you could lend me yours?
W: Well, I'm not using it right now? But I really need to keep it handy
just in case.
Q: What does the woman mean?
13 W: Look at that sky! I can't believe I forgot my umbrella again!
M: We are almost there, Mary. I think we'll be able to make it.
Q: What can be inferred about the weather?
14 W: I don't know why the university requires freshmen to live in
dorms
for a whole year!
M: Cheer up. You'll be able to live off-campus next year if you want!
Q: What can be inferred about the woman?
15 M: So, you and Julia are no longer roommates. I'm not surprised. You
two never did things very compatible.
W: Yeah, well... It's not that we didn't get along... We just didn't
have
much in common.
Q: What can be inferred about the woman?
16 M: The glare was so intense even my sunglasses didn't help.
W: Look, if you take Route 27 in the late afternoon, you're driving
straight into the sun(正對著太陽)! I'd consider an alternative.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
17 M: Remember when I said I might have to back out(停止不干) of the concert if
I didn't have my history paper done yet? Well, guess what?
W: That's okay. Do you know anyone else who enjoys Jazz?
Q: What will the woman probably do?
18 W: Personally I've never cared for the food at Sullivan's.
M: I think it all depends on the chef's mood that day.
Q: What does the man imply?
19 M: You look worn out. Are you feeling under the weather?
W: Not at all. But I have been putting in some long hours in the chemistry
lab.
Q: What does the woman mean?
20 W: I think this coat is a great color. And the price is certainly
right.
M: How about the weight, though. Remember we're supposed to have a
really severe winter this year.
Q: What does the man imply about the coat?
