　　Section A
　　11. W:Oh, you are back. This is a pleasant surprise. It is not lunch time yet. Are you through work?
　　M:No, I forgot some papers this morning.
　　Q:Why did the man return home?
　　【解析】D这是一对夫妻的对话。妻子说：你回来啦，真是个惊喜，还没到午饭时间呢，你工作完了么?丈夫说：没有，我今早忘了带一些文件。可见，丈夫回家来是为了取些文件。本题需要间接推理。
　　12.M:Two tencent stamps and four eightcent stamps, please.
　　W:Here you are. That will be fiftytwo cents.
　　Q:Where did this conversation most probably take place?
　　【解析】D关键词在于听出stamps邮票。男士说：我要两张十分的邮票和四张八分的邮票。女士说：给你，一共52美分。显然，这是在邮局买邮票时发生的一段对话。
　　13.M:You said the paper youve just finished fell on the floor, but I cant find it.
　　W:Look under the desk, back in the corner.
　　Q:What does the woman mean?
　　【解析】C 男士说：你说你刚完成的论文掉地上了，但我没找到。女士说：看看桌子下面，后面的角落。因此，女士的意思是要他在桌子下面再仔细找找。
　　14. M:The train is late. When will it arrive?
　　W:They say its late for 25 minutes, so it should be here at 11: 46.
　　Q: When will the train arrive?
　　【解析】C本题中女士提到火车晚点25分钟是个干扰项，她说的后半句话即是答案so it should be here at 11: 46。
　　15. M:I would like to move to the suburbs, but I dont have enough money to pay the high taxis.
　　W:I wish you could. Its nice to live there.
　　Q:Why isnt the man moving to the suburbs?
　　【解析】D 本题为推理题，对话中没有直接给出答案，需要推理。男士说：我很想住郊区，但我没那么多钱付高额的打的费。打的费高只能是因为郊区离工作的地点太远的缘故。
　　16.W:Jack, would you like to go to the club with us tomorrow night?
　　M:I wish I could, but I have to work on my term paper.
　　Q:Is Jack going to the club?
　　【解析】A女士问：杰克，明天晚上跟我们一起去俱乐部吧?男士说：我很想去，但是我必须写我的学期论文。由此可见，杰克是不会去俱乐部的。
　　17. M:Think it over carefully, you must have left it somewhere.
　　W:But the problem is that I have to have it now. I need it to use my car, and when I get home, to open the door.
　　Q: What happened to the woman?
　　【解析】B对话中的女士丢了钥匙，但是对话里却没出现钥匙keys这一词。男士说：仔细想想，你一定把它落在哪儿了。女士说：问题时我现在需要用它，我要用它来开车，回家后还要用它开门。那她丢的一定是钥匙了。
　　18. W:Werent you nervous when the professor called on you in class?
　　M:Id say I was shaking all over.
　　Q:How did the man feel when he was called on?
　　【解析】A女士问：当教授在班上点到你的时候你紧张?男士说：我浑身都在抖。shaking all over说明男士非常担忧和害怕。
　　Now youll hear two long conversations.
　　Conversation One
　　W:Lets go in here and order some coffee while we look at your pictures.
　　M:Good idea. Wed both like coffee, please. OK, heres one of Eds, my roommate. I took this picture right after we had arrived at the school this fall. We had just met, in fact. And this was our room of the dormitory while we were unpacking all our things. What a mess!
　　W:You certainly had a lot of boxes. How did you ever find room for everything?
　　M: In the beginning we thought wed never get all arranged but now we are very comfortable. Lucky for me, Ed keeps his things neat.
　　W:Do you like living in the dormitory?
　　M:Its not bad. Sometimes Ed turns his radio up too loud and makes too much noise. Then I get angry. Sometimes I leave my books lying around and he gets angry. But usually we get along. Heres a picture of him taken when we went to visit my family during vacation.
　　W:And this last one?
　　M:Thats my dog Spot.
　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
