答案解析

13.
W: I tried to catch the bus but still couldn't make it. Did the boss say anything about my not being here at nine?
M: Well, he looked angry. He said if he were you, he'd make a habit of being on time.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
正确答案：D
解析：本题关键是听懂男士的回答中使用的虚拟语气，“如果他是你，他会养成准时的习惯”，言外之意就是女士应该养成准时的习惯，所以答案选D。选项D中的punctual正是原文on time的同义表达。虚拟语气处是考点，要注意虚拟语气的弦外之音。

14.
M: It's already eight thirty. We'll have to hurry if we want to catch the flight.
W: Well, it takes only half an hour to get to the airport, and the plane doesn't leave until nine fifty. We have plenty of time to check in.
Q: How much time would be left for the man and the woman to check in for the flight?
正确答案：A
解析：考查对时间的理解。对话中提供了三个时间，现在是8：30，去机场需要半个小时，飞机9：50才起飞，因此他们到达机场后还有50分钟时间办理登机手续。
