听力文本及答案解析:

06
M: How do you manage to work and go to school at the same time
W: My classes are at night and I work during the day
Q: What do we learn from this conversation?

答案 D
分析:本题选项中有一组对立选项 A和D, A选项说女人白天上学,D选项说女人晚上上学。请大家注意如果四个选项中有两个是对立项的话,那么答案90%以上是他们其中之一,应该引起特别的重视。女人到底是白天上学还是晚上上学呢?对话中交代得很清楚了classes are at night。答案应选D

07
W: John , I don’t know what to get for your father. He has just about everything , doesn’t he ? Do you have any suggestions?
M: Why don’t you get him a pocket calculator
Q: Why doesn’t the woman know what to get for the man’s father?

答案 C
分析:上一期中我曾经和大家说过反意疑问句是一种很重要的句型。不是考点也直接指向考点。这一题中这个女人就使用了这个很强悍的句型:He has just about everything , doesn’t he ? 且这句话本身就是考点。这句话对应的答案就是C。 怎么样?都听到了吗?没听到的下次一定要注意了哦。

08
W: It’s surprising that Tom came out of the accident alive
M: That’s true. The car crashed into the wall and was completely damaged
Q: What was the consequence of the accident ?

答案 A
分析:教给大家一个小原则“光明原则”,一般来说遇到天灾人祸,我们的主人公都是可以逢凶化吉的,死人,残废这种那么残忍的事情一般是不会发生的。所以遇到这种accident 我们的主人公十之八九是survive 的。 顶多也就轻伤而已。 嗯,记几个单词词组吧 came out of 由……产生 从……出来。Tom came out of the accident alive 就是说汤姆经历了这个车祸还活着。survive 幸存,生还。

09
W: I’m sorry sir . The train is somewhat behind schedule. Take a seat and I’ll tell you as soon as we know something definite.
M: Thank you I’ll just sit here and read a magazine in the meantime.
Q: What can you conclude about the train from the conversation?

答案 B
分析 behind schedule 就是对应选项B的 late . 告诉大家一个小技巧,四级考试中一般涉及到火车,飞机多半只有一个字“等”。至于“等”的原因当然多种多样,可能是误点,也可能是暂时没有合适的航班等,总之就是走不了。

10
M: I sent a letter to make a reservation for a single room a few days ago
W: I’m sorry , your request arrived too later and we’re full up
Q: Are there any spare rooms at hotel

答案 A
分析 这是一题涉及宾馆场景的考题,这个男人说得make a reservation意思是预订房间。女人回答说we’re full up ,full up 意思就客满了的意思。所以答案应该是A ,所有的房间都满了。

最后一题涉及了一个宾馆场景,那就来总结一下这个场景吧。看看在宾馆中我们一般还会遇到那些事情,该怎么说。
