听力
11. C) He cannot get access to the assigned book.
由对话可知，该男士认为令他烦恼的是无论是在图书馆还是在书店他都找不到那本书，由此
得出答案。get access to指“获得，走近，接近，能够利用某物”。
12. A) She will drive the man to the supermarket.
由文中女士说她不喜欢别人开她的车以及” why don’t we go together?”可得知女士将
开车与男士一同去超市。
13. C) Tidy up the place.
由文中” I guess it’s pretty obvious what you’ll be doing most of today”可知，
很显然她想让他打扫房间。
14. A) The talks can be held any day except this Friday.
本题考查one day is as good as the next的意思，该短语指的是任何一天都行。因此男
士的意思是除了本周五，其它任何一天都可以。
15. A) He understands the woman’s feelings.文中男士认为，” I’d feel that way too
if I were you.”，“如果我是你的话我也会那样（感到很生气）。”因此她赞同女士的想
法，表示理解女士的感受。
16. D) She has to invite David to the party.
从文中女士的话可得知，女士的母亲执意要David去参加圣诞party，因此她不得不请David。
17. C) Many students find Prof. Johnson’s lectures boring.
由男士的话可得知，很多同学如果课前没喝咖啡的话，几乎很难保持清醒状态，忍不住犯困，
也就是说学生们都觉得Prof. Johnson的课很无聊。

本文中主要是考assemble的意思，如果同学知道assemble意为“组装，装配”，便不难得
出答案。”put a computer together”指“组装电脑”。
19. B) It requires him to work long hours.
男士开头便说”I have to work very long hours”，因此选B。
20. D) It demands physical endurance and patience.
女士问及工作哪个部分会比较难时，男士回答道他需要一直站着，同时在他们忙的时候，别
人会变得易怒，也就是说这份工作需要体力和耐心。
21. D) In a hotel.
由文中” I wrote to about six hotels 耪쿷䗩쏔 ﺹ늇탿
http://bulo.hjenglish.com/q/©版权所有沪江网탿늇ﺹ 쏔䗩쿷耪and one of them gave
me my first job”可得出答案。
22. B) Paying attention to every detail.
由男士的回答” Attention to detail”可得知，B选项恰好与”attention to detail”
同义。
23. A) The pocket money British children get.
原题为 What is the table of figures about? 意思是：这个表格是关于什么的？根据第
一句话Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in
Britain get? 我们可以知道这个表格是关于英国孩子的零花钱情况的。
24. C) It often rises higher than inflation.
原题为WhatdowelearnfromtheconversationaboutBritishchildren’spocketmoney?
意思是：从对话中我们可以了解到有关英国孩子零花钱的哪些信息？原文中女性说话人说
“Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation? ”意
思是：“你觉得为什么零花钱通常要比通货膨胀涨的更高呢？”据此我们可以判断英国孩子
的零花钱比通货膨胀涨的更高，答案应选C.

原题为Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their
pocket money? 对话中男性说话人说“…out of that, they have to buy some small
personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for
example.”意思是“我希望他们用零花钱去买一些小的个人物品，但我不希望他们把钱存起
来去买他们自己的短袜等”。据此我们可以判断答案选B.
26 A) District managers
该题比较简单，文章开头说到Alex期盼着与district managers的会议，因此正确答案为
A项。
27 D) The important part played by district managers
文章中提到在会议结束时，Alex打算以“the conversation about the importance of the
district managers to the company plans”来结束会议，可见他打算强调district
managers在公司计划中所起的重要作用。因此D项正确。
28 B) Fifty percent of them were female
此题比较简单，文章中后面说道“Half of our managers are women”，而参加会议的基本
上都是那些districtmanagers，由此可判断，会议的听众有一半是女性，所以此题选B项。
29 B) He was not gender sensitive
文章最后一句说这些女性district managers听到Alex总用“he”来指代“district
managers”感到surprised和distressed（痛苦的，苦恼的），由此可见Alex失败的原因
是由于他对于涉及到性别的用词不够敏感所造成的。
30 C) Ask to see the manager politely but firmly
此题比较简单，原文中提到在餐馆遇到上错菜时，应该“make a polite but firm request
to see the manage”,和C项所说完全一致。
31 D) You can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting
此题相对简单，答案基本上是原句，“So you can’t tell how the person on the line is
reacting.”
淘宝店铺：https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ 店主旺旺：慧园文化32 D) Stick to the point
此题属于原文再现，原文最后建议写投诉信时，应当“be business-like and stick to the
point”，即围绕自己的要点来说，而不要说些无关紧要的废话，因此应该选D项。
33. B) Architect
从原文“Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government,
designing government housing”可以得知。
34. A) Do some volunteer work.
从原文“If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she
should do volunteer work one or two days a week.”可以得知。
35. C) A baby-sitter is no replacement for a mother.
从原文“Tom does not think a baby-sitter can replace a mother”可以得知。
