Test 15
Section A
11.
M: You can teach Jim in a more pleasant way. You'll spoil his appetite.
W: Maybe you're right. I shouldn't have blamed him before I taught him.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
正确答案：C
解析：男士说：“你可以用一种更温和的方式来教Jim，你会破坏他的好兴致的。”女士说：“也许你是对的。我不该在教他之前责备他。”因此女士是同意男士观点的，选C。shouldn't have done...是虚拟语气，表示“本不该……（实际上做了）”。

W: Well, in my opinion, the news shows are extremely superficial; they don't tell you anything.
M: Oh, I don't know about that. I think the news reports are excellent. Presenting the news is what TV does best.
Q: What's the man's idea?
正确答案：B
解析：女士说：“在我看来，新闻节目非常肤浅，它们什么东西也没说清楚。”男士回答说：“我可不知道是这样的。我认为新闻报道很棒，播放新闻是电视做得最好的地方。”故B正确。A是女士的观点；C泛指所有电视节目，与对话不符；D是对男士最后一句话的过度推断，也不对。
