新编六级听力练习 第301期

Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: I don't enjoy dating anymore. [19]I can't seem to find anyone I have anything in common with.
W: Don't feel discouraged. Be patient. As you are so distinguished, you will definitely find the person who is right for you.
M: To tell you the truth, I am tired of being alone. I hope to find my Mrs. Right. What should I do?
W: Do you believe in Internet matchmaking service?
M: That's really a new walk of life. What is it exactly?
W: It helps match up singles the world over, and helps find the man and woman of their dreams.
M: Oh, it must be to the taste of a certain group of people.
W: The advertisement said Dream Dates has matched up thousands of singles the world over!
M: Unbelievable! They must be exaggerating the figure!
W: Look at the way they manage their business: they collect applicants' photos, and give the applicants questionnaires to fill out as to what type of character they are.
M: I don't believe several questions can decide the type of person you're. People's characters are complicated and keep changing all the time.
W: Anyway, it seems that things work well this way. The information and specifications will be entered in a large computer database.
M: [20]A computer to decide your best date? That's really ridiculous!
W: Look, it promises: Dream Dates provides expert dating service and a place for singles to meet. We'll introduce you to the person uniquely qualified to be your partner.
M: Sheer slogans! Not reliable!
W: It says you can enroll in a free trial membership!
M: I won't do it even they pay me for that!
W: Well, [21]we don't have to believe this. Maybe I can tell John, and see whether he'd like to try it.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. Why is the man so depressed?
正确答案：A
解析：选项均为“不好”的原因，注意听提到什么问题，原因是什么。开头男士就说找不到与自己有共同点的人，并说自己已厌倦独身一人，希望找到最适合自己的另一半，故答案为A。
20. What does the man think ridiculous?
正确答案：C
解析：男士一再表示不相信的是女士推荐的网上婚介，只有C符合话题，且该信息直接出现在ridiculous字眼之前。D的干扰性较强，但其实该选项只是女士提到的一个具体例证而已。
21. What's the woman's attitude toward the net matchmaking service?
正确答案：D
解析：女士最后说要告诉John，看他是否愿意试试，故D正确。A是男士对此的看法；C也有一定的迷惑性，但definitely语气过于武断，女士说“我们不一定非要相信”，说明她的看法很中庸。
