听力文本及答案解析:
6.W: Bob , are you going straight home after school today
M: No, I have a class until one o’clock, and after that I’m going to spend a couple of hours at the library before going home.
Q: When is Bob going home this afternoon?
答案:B
分析:本题是一道时间计算题,这类题目大家应该学会适当快速的记些笔记。以此题为例我们可以记 1:00 C +2h L (即 1:00上完课,去图书馆2小时)如果能记下这些信息那么答案自然就出来了B around 3:00。此处的a couple of 是双,对也就是二的意思,请大家记一下。。
7.
M: If the traffic wasn’t so bad , I could have been home by 6:00
W: What a pity! John was here to see you
Q: What happened to the man
答案:B
分析:根据选项我们知道,该题主要是针对这个男生提问的。故男生是对话的主角。男生在这里用了一句条件虚拟句。“如果交通状况不是那么糟的话,我可以在6:00到家的”言下之意,由于交通的原因他没能在6:00到家,和B项的held up in traffic是比较完美的同意对应。A C项纯属主观臆断,D项特地用了一个“traffic”但说得却是traffic accident属于无中生有的迷惑项。
8.
M: Hello , may I speak to John Smith ,please
W: I am sorry, nobody by that name works here
Q: what do we learn from this conversation
答案:D
分析:如果大家熟悉打电话的场景,那么这个短对话应该是非常简单的。这个女人说没有叫这个名字的人在这里工作,言下之意,男人打错了电话。题目不难,但我们借此来记一些打电话常景中经常遇到的词汇和短语:dial (拨电话号码) / press (按电话号码)/ wrong number there is no one by this name 电话号码错了/ hold on 不要挂断,稍等 / take(leave)a message 留言/ sb is not in 某人不在 / hang up get off 挂断 。
9.
M: Have you seen my brother
W: No, I haven’t seen him since the day before yesterday
Q: When did she last seen the man’s brother
答案:C
分析:这道题应该都做对了吧,初中的词汇和句型。the day before yesterday 前天
10.
M: Nancy , why were you late today
W: I overslept and missed the bus
Q: Why was Nancy late
答案:A
分析:这一题根据选项我们就可以大致推断这个女人迟到了,关键是她迟到的原因是什么?对话中的overslept 和A选项中的 got up later 是比较完美的同义对应。略微具有迷惑性的是B选项。如果没有听清这个overslept很可能就会选这个。但对话中说的是missed the bus 而并非the bus was late 。再说直接听到的一般我们也是不选的,此处就是明显的偷换概念。
