新编四级听力练习 第332期

Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: What do you think of my new sweater, Tracy?
W: Well. It's very nice as far as I can see, but put it on first, then I'll tell you if it suits you.
M: I tried on about twenty. This one isn't really what I wanted.
W: Why did you buy it then?
M: The salesman sold it to me before I realized what had happened. [20]He just never stopped talking and he told me some stories about the latest fashion and special reductions. Before I could say anything he'd wrapped it up and taken my money.
W: Well, it doesn't look too bad. I think it looks good on you.
M: But I went out to get a blue sweater with a V-neck, short sleeves and pattern, [21]and I came home with a brown one with a high neck, long sleeves and no pattern.
W: You must be easily taken in. [22]You've got to learn to stand up to these high-pressure salesmen. They'll sell you all sorts of things you don't want if you don't watch out.
M: Next time I'll send my wife. She'll probably sell something to the salesman.
W: That's a good idea. Actually women are good at shopping. Whenever my husband and I buy something important, I have the final say.
M: I must admit that women have better taste in shopping. I should simply leave the whole business to them.
W: Yes, I agree.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is the main idea of this conversation?
正确答案：B
解析：主旨题。男士一开始就说他买的并不是他想要的，所以A项可以排除。紧接着他又抱怨推销员鼓动他，在他还没有反应过来的情况下就把东西卖给他了。C、D项是对话中提到的部分内容，并非重点所在。因此，选项B为答案。
20. Why does the man buy a sweater which he doesn't like?
正确答案：D
解析：细节题。男士说推销员不停地向他介绍，这件sweater是最流行的式样，而且有很优惠的折扣，他还没弄明白怎么回事就付了钱。男士还不清楚情况就付钱很明显是中了推销员的圈套，所以答案是D项。A项对话中并没有提到，而B、C两项是推销员的理由。
21. Which character is not true about the sweater that the man buys?
正确答案：A
解析：细节题。四个选项都是表特征的词，问题有可能是询问哪个选项正确或错误，听音时要注意利用选项做笔记，选项A没有提到，因此为答案。其他三个特征（高领、长袖、无图案）都是原词的同义表达。
22. What is the woman's suggestion?
正确答案：C
解析：细节题。听了男士的叙述，女士认为他容易受骗，建议他学会怎样拒绝（原文中的stand up to即C中的turn down）那些强行推销的人。因此，答案为C。A、D两项是男士的意思，女士只是表示了赞同。女士讲她自己在家里拥有final say，而不是指男士的妻子，所以B项不正确。
