Test 9
Section A
11.
W: What are you scratching your head for?
M: I've been racking my brains all morning trying to recall the name of the company that produces the portable computers, but in vain.
Q: What do we learn about the man?
正确答案：D
解析：细节题。本题关键是要在听懂男士话语的基础上筛选出有用信息“回忆电脑厂家的名字，但没有想出来”。其中，“racking my brains绞尽脑汁”是冗余信息，同时也是强干扰信息。所以，男士的问题是不记得电脑厂家的名字了，故选D。

12.
M: I must be going now-I promised to pick up Nancy.
W: Since you're going to pick up Nancy from the fitness class, why don't you kill two birds with one stone and pick up Peter after his ballet class?
Q: What does the woman mean?
正确答案：C
解析：习语理解题。此题的关键是理解kill two birds with one stone的含义为“一石二鸟，一箭双雕，一举两得”，言下之意是让男士顺便把Nancy和Peter一起接回来。故选C。
