女：我觉得应该还有时间申请学生贷款，但是有人告诉我上周二已经截止了。
男：你确定吗？我觉得应该还有一个月的时间。等等。我这儿正好有本宣传册，上周二是开始申请的日期。
问：男人暗示了什么？
答：女人想申请学生贷款，听说时间截止了，男人说还有时间，又翻阅宣传册查看，说上周二是开始时间，可以推断出，目前还可以申请贷款，因此正确答案为D，他们还有时间申请贷款。A，他们要等一个月才能申请学生贷款，申请已经开始了，不用再等，与对话不符，排除。B，他们可以在宣传册上找到申请表，对话中未涉及。C，他们不符合申请资格，对话内容无涉及。

女：看看那些从工厂排放到空气中的污染物。你认为他们会控制一下吗？
男：根据现行的法律，以及人们提高的社会意识来看，空气污染情况一定会被改善的。
问：男人什么意思？
答：turn things around指改善情况，扭转局势，所以男人的回答是肯定的，一定会采取一些措施来改善污染情况的。因此正确答案为C，空气质量一定会改善的。A，已经制定新法律来减少污染物排放，对话中并未提及，B，公众对污染的关注很少，男人说到社会意识日益提升，说明公众对污染的关注度很高，因此B项与对话内容不符，排除，D，要控制空气污染需要几年的时间，对话中并未明确提及改善空气质量的时间，只是说一定会改善，因此排除D项。
