1.
W: Friday's speaker is supposed to be wonderful. Are you going to attend the seminar on that day?
M: Yes. But I haven't been able to get the ticket yet. Since the lecture is open to the public, I imagine that the tickets may have already been sold out.
Q: Why is the man afraid he won’t be able to attend the seminar?
参考译文：
女：周五的演讲者应该很棒。你打算参加那天的研讨会吗？
男：是的。不过我还没有买到票。既然讲座面向大众，我想很有可能票已经卖完了。
问：男子为什么担心他可能无法参加研讨会？
答案解析：
正确答案为D。对话中男子说既然讲座面向大众，很有可能票已经卖完了，隐含意思就是票可能买不到了，因此D项正确。A，他认为不会每个人都有足够的套装，对话中未涉及，排除。B，他认为演讲者不会出现，对话中未涉及，排除。C，他认为研讨会不对公众开放，对话中谈及讲座是对公众开放的，因此C项不符，排除。

2.
M: I wonder what makes mother so upset these days.
W: Father is canceling his vocation trip. He promised to take her abroad last year. But the company is asking father to postpone his vocation.
Q: Why is their mother unhappy?
参考译文：
男：我想知道是什么使妈妈这些天都这么沮丧。
女：爸爸取消了度假行程。他去年承诺带她去国外旅行的。可是公司要求爸爸取消假期。
问：他们的妈妈为什么不开心？
答案解析：
正确答案为A。对话中可知，他们的妈妈不开心，是因为他们的爸爸承诺要带妈妈出国旅游，可是公司取消了爸爸的度假，所以爸爸不能带妈妈去度假了，就是爸爸没有遵守承诺，所以妈妈才不开心，因此可知A项正确。B，他们的爸爸要去旅行，不带妈妈。对话中爸爸的假期取消了，不能去旅行了，而不是不带妈妈去旅行，因此B项不符，排除。C，他们的爸爸没有对妈妈说实话，对话中爸爸并没有说谎，只是无法履行承诺，因此C项不符，排除。D，他们的爸爸不想去国外旅游，对话中爸爸的假期被公司取消了，是被迫的，不是爸爸主观不想去，因此D项不符，排除。
