17. M: These gloves are a lot cheaper than the leather ones. They are made of artificial leather, but I can’t tell much difference.
W: I really like the leather ones, but I can’t afford $26.
Q: What will the woman probably do?
【解析】選[D]。女士所說的…like the leather ones, but I can’t afford… 可斷定她不會(huì)買the leather ones，故同時(shí)排除[B]、[C]。女士的I really like the leather ones表明對(duì)話中很可能提到the leather ones以外的品種，故答案為[D]。
18. W: It never occurred to me that you were an athlete.
M: Most people who meet me don’t think so either.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
【解析】選[C]。男士說他碰到的大部分人也都沒認(rèn)為他過去是運(yùn)動(dòng)員，據(jù)此判斷，選項(xiàng)[C]的說法符合題意，即男士看起來不像一個(gè)積極參加運(yùn)動(dòng)的人。選項(xiàng)[A] 與對(duì)話中的never矛盾；選項(xiàng)[B]與對(duì)話相反，男士并不驚訝，反而是贊同女士的看法；選項(xiàng)[D] 對(duì)話中大多數(shù)人與女士的看法是相同的，而不是differently。
Conversation One
M: Mary, last week in our history class, our teacher asked us if we knew anythingabout Thanksgiving Day. We all looked at each other. Nobody could give the answer. So, please tell me something about it, will you?
W: Oh, it’s a long story. I don’t think you’ve got the patience.
M: Come on, I’m really interested. Is it a national holiday in the United States?
W: Yes, it’s a most truly American holiday and it’s closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
M: When was it first celebrated?
W: In 1621. By the English settlers or pilgrims.
M: What people were the pilgrims?
W: They were religious people from England. At that time, they didn’t have the right to worship in their own way. They sailed to America on the Mayflower to have freedom of worship.
W: I really like the leather ones, but I can’t afford $26.
