答案解析

13.
男：你不是要在出门前把这些盘子都洗了吧？如果我们在25分钟内不能接到乔治和玛莎的话，就不能按时赶到剧院了。
女：噢，我没告诉你吗？玛莎昨天来电话说她女儿病了，他们今晚不能去了。
问：女人可能先做什么事情？
答：从对话中得知，女人应该正在洗碗，而他们约了乔治夫妻去剧院，乔治夫妻的女儿病了不能去剧院了，他们不用去接乔治夫妻，可以推断出他们还有剩余时间，所以女人应该会把碗洗完，因此正确答案为A，洗碗。B，去剧院，因为二人不用去接乔治夫妻了，所以时间宽裕，不用着急马上去剧院，排除。C，接乔治和玛莎，对话中提到乔治夫妻因女儿生病不去剧院了，因此排除。D，送女儿去医院，对话中说到是乔治夫妻的女儿病了，并不是对话中的两个人的女儿生病，因此排除。

男：你已经打了好长时间电话了。你在跟谁通话呢？
女：是莎莉。你也知道她总能了解到镇上的最新消息，而且迫不及待地要跟我说说那些事。
问：从对话中我们能知道莎莉的什么信息？
答：女人说莎莉知道镇上的最新消息，而且总要跟她说说那些情况，可以推断出莎莉很喜欢跟女人谈论这些消息。因此正确答案为C，她热衷于与女人分享这些消息。A，她喜欢编造其他人的故事，对话中提及的应该是镇上的小道消息，不属于虚构的故事，因此排除。B，她心里藏不住事情，对话中未明确提及。D，她是镇上消息最灵通的女人，对话中未涉及。
