11. W: What a fascinating speaker! It was really food for thought.
M: Oh, I’m not sure I’d go along with you there. I kept drifting off quite a few times.
Q: What did the man think of the speaker?
【解析】選[D]。food for thought指“精神食糧”。I’m not sure I’d go along with you there表明男士并不同意女士的看法。drifting off ≈ gradually fall asleep，意為“昏昏”，由kept drifting off quite a few times可知，男士覺得演講人的話很無聊、乏味(too boring)。
12. W: I can’t believe it. I have been waiting for this latest show for ages and it totally slipped my mind.
M: Don’t be too upset about it. You might be able to catch it since the organizers are thinking to have another opening next week.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman to do?
【解析】選[B]。女士因為忘了去看表演(it totally slipped my mind)而懊惱不已，男士說籌辦方正考慮重新組織一次表演，可見他是想建議女士耐心等待，看是否還有一次機會，選項[B]與此相符。encore意為“再唱或再表演”。
13. W: I hear you’re working as a market surveyor this summer. It’s got to be awfully difficult asking the same old questions every day.
M: Well, it is challenging work, but I get to meet lots of new people and the pay is decent enough.
Q: What does the man think of his new job?
【解析】選[B]。decent用在口語中指“相當好的，像樣的”，the pay is decent enough ≈rewarding，再結(jié)合but前面的it is challenging work可知[B]為答案。
14. M: I think I’ll read ahead a few chapters, just to get the general picture.
W: Try pacing yourself. Slowly but surely you’ll understand it all.
Q: What does the woman suggest?
【解析】選[C]。男士打算往前多讀幾章，了解書中梗概。女士建議他不要心急，并表示慢慢讀來最后終歸會理解全書的意思。pace oneself意為“調(diào)整做某事的速度”，這表明女士認為男士不應該以太快的速度一下子讀太多(learn too much too fast)。
15. W: My headaches are terrible. Maybe I need more sleep.
M: Actually, you need less sun and some aspirin. Plus it would help you if you wear a hat. The sun is too bright.
Q: What most probably caused the woman’s headache?
【解析】選[D]。結(jié)合男士話中的you need less sun, wear a hat及The sun is too bright推測，女士頭疼的原因很可能是陽光太強烈了，選項[D]正確。Actually常暗示對前面內(nèi)容的否定，即男士并不認為女士是因為缺乏睡眠才頭疼。
16. M: How was your dinner at the new French restaurant yesterday?
W: We didn’t eat there. We drove all the way down there only to find it’s not open on Monday, so we had our dinner at the small Chinese restaurant next door.
Q: What did the woman say about the new French restaurant?
【解析】選[D]。only to find后常接不好的或令人意想不到結(jié)果。it’s not open on Monday, so we had our dinner at the small Chinese restaurant表明女士并沒有去成新開的法國餐廳，因此她也就不會知道那里的食物味道如何，選項[D]正確。
