Test One試題詳解
Section Ⅰ
Part A
1. [B]本題的干擾項很能迷惑人。經仔細地聽，會知道第二說話人是意大利人 (I am Italian.), 所以她來自意大利 (Italy)。
2. [C]對話中說“這家商店的夾克質量好”，而“另一家商店的便宜”。第二說話人認為另一家商店的便宜，說明她中意于那家商店的。故選C。
3. [A]第一說話人向第二說話人打聽時間，第二說話人沒手表，并建議他去問那邊那位女士。因而答案是A。
4. [C]本題出現(xiàn)了“cotton”, “wool”, “nylon”這些干擾詞，但是關鍵只有兩句話“Are those made of cotton more expensive?” “Yes, that's right. ”聽懂了這句話，問題便迎刃而解了。
5. [B]這是一道態(tài)度題。對話開始時第二說話人顯然有點生氣，說話也是諷刺的口氣。后來聽了第一說話人的道歉，第二說話人也就原諒了他。
6. [D]本題的關鍵在于理解“the sooner the better”的含義，即越快越好，故選D。
7. [D]“running a temperature”即“having a fever”意思是“發(fā)燒”。
8. [B]“Much the same as last”：跟過去差不多。所以 Linda 的意思是：學校生活沒有太多變化。
9. [C]由對話中“I warned him many times, but he wouldn't listen. ”可得出答案。
10. [D]“Whether or not there'll even be a field trip has to be decided first”告訴我們“實地考察還有待決定”，故選D。
