us.B.Itismorecomfortableandconvenienttotakeabus.C.ItisfastertogotoMiamibytrain.D.ItisworththemoneytakingatraintoMiami√解析：W:TakingabustoMiamiischeaperthangoingbytrain.M:That'strue.ButI'dratherpayalittlemorefortheaddedcomfortandconvenience.Q:Whatdoesthemanmean?[解析]女士说坐公交车去迈阿密比坐火车去更便宜。男士说的确如此，但坐火车更加舒适及便利，他乐意为此多花些钱。由此可知男士认为值得花钱坐火车去迈阿密，故答案为D。[点睛]①根据选项关键词cheaper,bybus,comfortable,convenient,faster,bytrain,worth等可推测对话与选择坐哪种交通工具及其原因有关。②cheaper虽在对话中提及，但只限于指去迈阿密的情况，且A的notalways也无据可依；B与男士的意思相反；faster在对话中未提及，故C也排除。③转折词But后的内容往往是答题关键。(6).（分数：7.12）A.Antiquescanimprovetheirimage.B.Preservationofantiquesisimportant.C.Theoldfurnitureshouldhereplaced.√D.Theyshouldmoveintoanewoffice.解析：M:Ithinkit'stimewegotridofallthisoldfurniture.W:You'reright.Weneedtopromoteourimage.Besides,it'snotasifit'sarealantique.Q:Whatdothespeakersmean?[解析]男士认为是时候扔掉旧家具了。女士说他是正确的。由此可知，男士和女士都认为该换掉旧家具了，因此答案为C。[点睛]①根据选项关键词Antiques,newoffice,oldfurniture等可推测对话内容与古董或旧家具的处置方法有关。②女士说他们需要提升形象，但没说古董能提升形象，A把对话中的用词胡乱拼凑在一起，应排除；B在对话中未提及，它是对promoteourimage的过度推断；古董的保管(Preservation)是否重要(important)在对话中也未提及，D也可排除。A.ThestormcontinueduntilmidnightB.Themanstayedatthelabthewholenight.√C.ThemangothomelateduetothestormD.Allroadswereclosedbecauseoftheflood.解析：W:Thatwassomestormyesterday.IwasafraidIcouldn'tmakeithome.M:Yeah,mostoftheroadstomyhousewereflooded.Ididn'tgethomefromthelabuntilmidnight.Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?[解析]女士说昨天有暴风雨，她曾担心回不了家了。男士回应说回他家的路大部分都被淹了，他是直到午夜才从实验室回到家的，因此B正确。[点睛]①根据选项关键词storm,man,dueto,becauseof,flood可推测话题与storm或flood导致的(对男士的)不良影响有关。②男士说他直到午夜(untilmidnight)才到家，但对话中并未提及暴风雨持续到何时，故A错；C只是利用录音原音lab进行干扰，实际意思与对话不符，可排除；D利用对话原词roads及flood制造干扰，对话中的flood作动词表“淹没”，而D的flood则作名词表“水灾”，此外，All过于绝对，closed在对话中也未提及。A.Thewoman'ssonsmightenjoyteamsports.√B.Thewoman'skidscanplaysoccerwithhisson.C.Childrenshouldplaysportsatleastonceaweek.D.Manychildrenfeelboredwhenleftalone.解析：W:Myboysarealwayscomplainingthatthey'rebored.M:Whydon'tyougetthemintosometeamsports?MysonanddaughterplaysoccereverySaturday.Andtheybothlookforwardtoitallweek.Q:Whatdoesthemanmean?[解析]女士说她儿子总是抱怨很无聊。男士说为什么不让他们参加团体运动?他儿子和女儿每周六都踢足球，并且他们都很期待去踢球。由此可知，男士认为女士的儿子可能也会享受团体运动，故答案为A。[点睛]①根据选项关键词woman'ssons/kids,teamsports,playsoccer/sports等可知话题与小孩参加运动有关。②男士没有提到让女士的小孩跟他的儿子一起踢球，B属于无中生有；男士没有提到孩子是否应该(should)每周至少进行一次体育运动，而且男士的话题重心也不在此，故C不对；男士也未提及D这个话题，leftalone属于无中生有。四、SectionB(总题数：2，分数：49.84)Questions19to21arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.Questions19to21arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.（分数：21.36）A.Makephonecallstopromotesales.B.Arrangebusinessnegotiations.C.Takeordersoverthephone.√D.Handlecomplaintsfromcustomers.解析：W:SoJohn,IhearyouandArthurshareajob,don'tyou?M:Yeah.We'vesharedasalesjobatSonatechforabouttwoyearsnow.W:Well,howdoyoudivideupyourschedule?M:[19]Youknow,wearebothsalesrepresentatives,andwetakeordersoverthephone.Whenwestartedjobsharingitwasdifficult,becausewebothworkedalldayMonday.IworkedTuesdayandThursdayandArthurworkedWednesdayandFriday.TheproblemwasthatwhenIwasintheofficeonTuesday.Iwouldtalktopeople,thentheywouldcallbackonWednesdaywithaquestion.ButArthurcouldn'tanswerthequestionandhecouldn'taskmeaboutitbecauseIwasn'tintheoffice.Sohehadtoaskthepeopletocallmebackthenextday,Thursday.[20]Ofcourse,theydidn'tliketowaituntilthenextdaytohavetheirquestionanswered.W:Yes,thatsoundslikeaproblem.M:So,finallywedecidedthatArthurwouldworkinthemorningsandIwouldworkintheafternoons.Nowifsomeonecallswithaquestionformeinthemorning,Arthurtellsthemtocallmeintheafternoon.Thisway,peoplegettheirquestionsansweredthesameday.W:Whatdoyoudoaboutvacations?M:[21]Well,Sonatechgivestheusualtwoweeksofvacationtofull-timeemployees,ItakeaweekandArthurtakesaweek.W:Itsoundslikejobsharinghasworkedoutwellforyou.M:Yes,ithas.Wearebothhappywithit.19.WhatdoJohnandArthurdoatSonatech?[解析]男士在谈到两个人如何分配工作的时候说到他们是通过电话接订单，由此判断选C。[点睛]①通过选项中的Makephonecalls,Arrangebusinessnegotiations,Takeorders,Handlecomplaints可推测问的是工作职责方面的问题。②A的“促销”、B的“商务谈判”以及D的“客户投诉”在对话中均未提及。③男士在对话中提到wetakeordersoverthephone，符合“长对话听到什么选什么”的答题原则。√A.Customers'questionscouldnotbeansweredonthesameday.B.Conflictsbetweenthemcouldnotbeproperlysolved.C.Customersoftenmistookonefortheother.D.Theyhaddifferentbusinessstrategies.解析：WhatproblemdidJohnandArthurhavewhentheystartedjobsharing?[解析]男士说他们工作的问题就是他周二上班，而客户在周三打电话回来的时候却是Arthur接电话，而Arthur没法回答问题，只能让客户周四再打电话过来，但客户不喜欢等到第二天才得到答复。由此判断问题在于客户的问题无法当天得到解答，所以选A。[点睛]①根据选项中的couldnotbeanswered,couldnotbeproperlysolved,mistook可推测本题可能会问他们工作中存在的问题。②在谈到问题的时候，男士说客户不喜欢问题要第二天才能得到解答，也就是说问题是客户的问题当天得不到解答，A是男士所说内容的同义替换，B的“冲突”、C的“把一个人误认为另一个”和D的“不同的商业策略”均未在对话中提及。A.Theyaregiventwoweekseach.B.Theyliketospendittogether.C.Theyhavetotakeitbyturns.D.Theyeachtakeaweek.√解析：WhatdoesJohnsayabouttheirannualvacation?[解析]当被问及假期时，男士说全职员工有两周假期，他休一周，Arthur休一周，因此选D。[点睛]①通过选项中的giventwoweeks,spendittogether,takeitbyturns,eachtakeaweek可推断本题可能会问如何休假。②对话中提到“我休一周，Arthur休一周”，符合“长对话听到什么选什么”的答题原则。Questions22to25arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.Questions22to25arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.（分数：28.48）A.Ataroadcrossing.B.Nearaschool.√C.Outsideapolicestation.D.In
