M: Really using a language makes all the difference, doesn’t it?
5. W: There you are finally. We’d better get moving if we expect to get a seat. The lecture starts in fifteen minutes and we’ve still got a long walk ahead of us.

W: You’re making me hungry… Yeah, but I think all dogs would really prefer to be running wild, and chasing smaller animals.
M: Yes, exactly. It’s their nature.

W: I’m sorry, Mr. Brown. I don’t understand you.
M: But it’s 13! You must be aware of 13! This may seem very strange to you, but in my family people die on…on the 13th day and especially when they’re the 13th person in a …in a social gathering.

听力答案：
1. 答案为选项B。本题旨在考查理解对话情景：Where does this conversation take place? 男士问： “How much does it cost to mail a package overnight to Shanghai?” 点明了答案。A项对a package”进行干扰。C项对女士的话“It depends on its weight”进行干扰。
2. 语言注释：trunk 车后箱
答案为选项B。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：What did the man offer to do? 女士说：“I can’t even lift it to put it (the suitcase) into the trunk.”男士说：“Should I do it for you?”“It”这里是指“put the suitcase into the trunk”，既点明了答案，又排除了C项。A项对女士的话“This suitcase is as heavy as the box was”进行干扰。
3. 答案为选项B。本题旨在考查理解明示信息的能力：How does the woman know Cindy Li? 女士的话“She was my sister’s best friend in high school.”直接提供了答案。A项和C项只是女士话中的只言片语而已。
4. 答案为选项C。本题旨在考查理解未直言信息的能力：What does the man imply？女士说：“I studied French in high school but I never really learned it until I spent the summer in Paris.”男士说：“Really using a language makes all the difference, doesn’t it?”意思为“学以致用感觉就不一样了。”这句话没有说女士应该在巴黎学法语，故A是错误答案。对话中也没有B项中的意思。
5. 答案为选项B。本题旨在考查在理解会话主题的基础上推断说话人的身份：What is the relationship between these two speakers? 女士说：“We’d better get moving if we expect to get a seat. The lecture starts in fifteen minutes and we’ve still got a long walk ahead of us.”他们要去听讲座。可以排除A与C项的因素有多种，诸如从说话人之间的社会距离，说话口气，以及会话内容。
6~7
（6）答案为选项C。本题旨在考查理解明示信息的能力：Why is it difficult for dogs to live in cities? 女士说：“Well most of them are locked up in apartments when their owners are away.”直接提供了答案。A与B项属于主观猜想。
（7）答案为选项C。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：What are ‘dog walkers’？女士说“…many people employ ‘dog walkers’ to take their dogs out for some exercise.”“employ”一词点明了答案，排除了A项与B项。
8~10
语言注释：presence 出席
（8）答案为选项A。本题旨在考查理解会话主题：What did the woman tell the man to do？女士说：“…there’s a dinner, ehm, in the restaurant at the local hotel, on the 13th floor. I have already booked 12 seats. Now I wanted to ask…to tell you that I’d like your presence there and erm, we need one more seat.”意思是请男士赴宴。B项与“we need one more seat”进行干扰。C项与“I’d like your presence there”进行干扰。
（9）答案为选项C。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：Why COULDN’T the man appear for the dinner? 因为女士订的是“Friday the 13th ”，“on the 13th floor”，“already booked 12 seats…need one more seat”，而男士说：“But it’s 13! You must be aware of 13!… in my family people die on …on the 13th day and especially when they’re the 13th person in a … in a social gathering.”我们不难理解男士顾忌的原因。A项与“in my family people die on …on the 13th day”进行干扰。B项干扰题的个别单词在会话中都提及到，但属断章取义。
（10）答案为选项B。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：What would happen to the man if he didn’t appear? 女士威胁男士说：“Mr. Brown, you realize your job is under threat if you don’t’ come to this dinner.”点明了答案。A项属主观猜想。女士威胁在前，故C项是错误答案。
11~13
（11）答案为选项B。本题旨在考查理解会话主题的能力：Why did the woman call the man?女士说：“Listen, Brian, would you like to come to a party with me?” 对话的内容都是围绕这一主题进行的。A项中“coffee”在对话中提及到，但全句是“why don’t we meet at the coffee bar”。 C项是主观猜想。
（12）答案为选项A。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：What will the man do before they meet? 男士说：“There’s a program on television I want to see on Saturday…”直接提供了答案。B项与“it (program on television) doesn’t finish until five to seven”进行干扰。C项是他们约定会面的地点。这类题目不能靠捕捉到的只言片语答题。
（13）答案为选项A。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：Who will the man probably meet on Saturday evening? 男士问：“Whose party is it? Anyone I know?”女士答：“No, I don’t think so. It’s one of the girls at work”点明了答案。B与C项均是主观猜想。
14~17
（14）答案为选项B。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：Which university does Susan dislike? 男士说：“I’m going to New York State University.”女士说：“Really? Why did you choose it? That’s far away. Besides, it will be much colder there than Texas.”表示她不喜欢“New York State University”。她说：“I like the atmosphere of a private school”，故可以排除A项。男士问：“Do you want to go to a big university or a small one?”女士答：“I like the latter, so the classes wouldn’t be so large.”故可以排除C项。
（15）答案为选项C。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：According to Susan, which of the following is true about a private university? 女士说：“I like the atmosphere of a private school. The students are more serious about school, and there isn’t a lot of partying.”“serious”意思为“认真”，而B项中的意思为“严肃”，故是错误答案。A项中的意思与女士说的正好相反。
（16）答案为选项B。本题旨在考查理解未直言信息的能力：In which state do the two speakers live now？女士说：“I want to stay in the state, so I will be close to home.”当她听说男士选择New York State University”，她说：“it will be much colder there than Texas.”从这些信息中我们可以推断他们是在Texas。
（17）答案为选项A。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：Which of the following is NOT the reason that Jason chooses New York State University? 男士明示：“Well, a lot of my friends are going there, and the school has a good teacher preparation program.”故可以排除B项与C项。
18~20
（18）答案为选项A。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：Why did Jack call Jenny? 电话留言是：“About our dinner date: I’ll meet you in front of Pizza House at 6:30 pm on Monday.”点明了致电目的。B项中的“on Friday evening”对当时打电话的时间进行干扰。C项从广义上说也可以成立，但有明示信息的，就一定要选择客观事实。
（19）答案为选项C。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：Why did Aunt Maria call Jenny？电话留言是：“I’ll need you to pick me up at the airport at 11:30. By the way, I’m going to stay with you for 2 weeks.”点明了致电目的。A项是前面Grace电话留言中的信息；B项与“I’ll need you to pick me up at the airport”进行干扰。
（20）答案为选项C。本题旨在考查理解具体信息的能力：When did Tony want to meet Jenny? Tony的电话留言是：“Remember we planned to have dinner together on Monday？I’ll meet you at 7 o’clock in front of the university’s guesthouse.”点明了会面时间。A项对Aunt Maria 要求Jenny去机场接她的时间进行干扰。B项对Jack约会Jenny的时间“at 6:30 pm on Monday”进行干扰。
