W: I want to send this package by first class mail. I'd also like some stamps.
M: Do you want the mail insured?
Q: Where are the two speakers?
正确答案:B
解析:女士说:“我想以第一类邮件的方式寄这个包裹,另外我还想买几张邮票。”男士回答:“你的邮寄物品需要买保险吗?”可见对话发生在邮局,即B。介词“in/at+地点名词”构成标准的询问对话发生场所的场景题选项。解答这类题时,要留意对话双方的话,由关键词确定答案。本对话中,第一个说话人说的send this package by first class mail, stamps以及第二个说话人说的mail, insure,都是邮寄东西时常用的词汇

M: I thought that maybe we could go there for lunch today. That is, if you haven't promised to go with someone else.
W: That'd be wonderful, Joe. But I hope you're in a better mood than you were this morning.
Q: What does the woman mean?
正确答案:C
解析:男士提议说,女士如果没有约会的话,中午一起吃饭;女士表示赞同,说:“太好了。不过我希望你的心情已经比上午好了一些。”言下之意说,男士上午情绪不好,故C正确。“中but”题。女士的话That'd be wonderful... 是随口赞同说的客气话,并不表示女士很兴奋(excited),据此排除A。but后面的内容才是重点,它表明男士上午情绪不佳,故选C,同时排除其他。
