Conversation One
M:Good morning, madam!
W: Good morning, doctor!
M:Is there anything I can do for you? You look rather pale.
W: I had a horrible sleep last night!
M:What is exactly going on with you?
W: Well, everyday I feel very tired in the day time.I even nod off while at work.It’s really hard for me to focus my attention on work.But at night, I couldn’t fall asleep at all.
M:I see.Do you take sleeping pills to help you fall asleep?
W: Yes, at the very beginning, I tried to take some pills.But it seems the pills won’t work on me anymore.
M:You should stop taking the pills immediately.Why didn’t you come here earlier? It is very risky for you take pills by yourself.
W: I’m up to my neck in work.But just recently, I feel I was no longer able to concentrate on my work.
M:If you continue to treat yourself like that, I’m afraid the situation will become a lot worse.
W: What should I do, doctor?
M:I think you’d better leave work for two weeks and have a good rest.I know it must be very hard for you to do this, but there is no other choice.
W: I really can’t take days off from work.How about taking pills? Will it help?
M:To tell the truth, your situation now is very serious.Even if you leave work and rest at home, it will take a long time for you to recover.By taking pills only, there might be other risks for your health.You’d better consider this seriously!
W: Err... You are right, doctor.Thanks for reminding me of that! After all, it is no use crying over split milk.
Q1.What problem did the woman have?
Q2.What do we know about the pills the woman was taking?
Q3.What suggestion did the doctor give?
Q4.What did the woman mean by saying “it is no use crying over split milk”?
Conversation Two
W: Hello, may I speak to John please?
M:Speaking! Who’s that?
W: It’s Grace here.How have you been?
M:Oh, hi, Grace! I’m fine! Thanks.
W: I’m calling to invite you to dinner this Saturday in my house.Are you free then?
M:Sure! And I’d love to come.By the way, is this Saturday a special occasion?
W: Oh, you can say so.I’m moving out on Sunday, so I invite all my good friends to have a farewell dinner in my house.
M:You are moving out! I can’t believe it.It is so sudden!
W: Yes, it may sound a bit sudden.I bought a new apartment.
M:Congratulations! So, what is your new apartment like?
W: It is a newly built apartment, 3 blocks away from my present place.I live on the top floor—that is to say on the 16th.
M:That sounds great! But don’t you feel it is a bit too high? You know, on the top!
W: That’s exactly why I love the apartment! There’s a roof garden for each toplayer apartment.The light condition is also very good there.
M:Oh, there is a garden! How amazing!
W: And the window view is also very nice! I can see the mountains far away! After I settle down there I will sure invite you to come!
M:I’m looking forward to that! Oh, if you need someone to help you with the moving, I’ll be there!
W: No, I’ve already made my arrangement.Thanks anyway! But if you are free on Saturday afternoon, could you please come and help me with the cooking? My friends love your recipes.But if you are not, never mind! That’s all I ask!
M:Sure! I’ll see you then!

答案與解析
1.【參考答案】 D
【試題分析】 Susan問Peter他的車去哪里了，是被偷了還是壞了。Peter回答說“I give up driving to work.Instead, I ride to my working place”，因此，正確答案為D，“停止開汽車”。
2.【參考答案】 D
【試題分析】 對話中Peter說“It is a totally different picture on my way to work”，意思是“在路途上有了全新的感受”，因此A選項不正確。B選項和C選項正好與對話的內(nèi)容相反，Peter的意思可歸納為“騎自行車上班可以一路呼吸到新鮮空氣，到了工作地點感覺很有活力，再也不需要借助咖啡來提神”。因此，正確答案為D選項。
3.【參考答案】 A
【試題分析】 題目問到“為什么Peter說看見了真實的生活”？這道題考查聽者的理解分析能力，需要聽者稍作分析才能得出正確答案。對話中Peter說“I don’t have to see through the grey car windows”，表明Peter在以前開車時由于將注意力集中在前方的道路，因此會忽略周圍發(fā)生的事情。而且汽車兩邊的車窗通常是灰色，因此駕車的人很少會去關(guān)注道路兩旁甚至是周邊發(fā)生的情況。Peter后來還用具體的例子來說明，如“parents sending their little kids to school, the elder exercising in...”由此可見，只有選項A最能解釋這個問題。所以A選項為正確答案。
4.【參考答案】 C
【試題分析】C選項在對話中沒有提及。而A選項在對話一開始就出現(xiàn)。B選項
在接下來的對話中有說明。D選項在文章的最末也有清晰的交代。因此，C選項為正確答案。
5.【參考答案】 B
【試題分析】 A選項說狗是Kevin收到的禮物，而對話則說狗是Kevin妹妹收到的生日禮物，因此A選項錯誤。B選項為正確答案，因為Kevin說“... my little sister got Judy as a birthday present from her uncle, but...”。C選項所說的內(nèi)容在對話中根本沒有出現(xiàn)。D選項說“狗在妹妹那里呆了5個月”，實際上這“5個月”是狗的年齡。因此D選項也是錯誤的。
6.【參考答案】 A
【試題分析】 Peter說“... you’d better walk the dog outside for a while”,因此A項符合題意。B選項錯誤，因為Peter說“最多不超過一天”，而不是B選項所說的“never” 。C選項也是錯誤的，因為Peter的意思是“如果總是十分忙碌就干脆不要養(yǎng)”。至于D選項，它與文章中的“Remember to keep it from the bedroom and living room”相沖突。注意“keep....from...”是“把...與...分開”的意思。
7.【參考答案】 D
【試題分析】 對話最后的部分包含了很多重要的信息。A選項錯誤，因為不是“as frequently as possible”。B選項說“給狗的食物”，而Peter建議“給狗形成良好的吃食習(xí)慣”，所以B選項也是錯誤。Peter建議每年帶狗去兩次獸醫(yī)院，而不是C選項說的只有在生病時在去看獸醫(yī)。D選項跟對話中最后一句“In all, love and patience are the only things that matter to a dog”意思相符，所以D選項為正確答案。
