男：我刚刚收到了以前同学的电子邮件。我很惊讶，我都好几年没跟他联系了。
女：嗯，我与大部分的老朋友也都失去联系了，只有一两个偶尔会给我写信。
问：女人什么意思?
答：女人所说的out of touch已经很明显，表示失去了联系，因此正确答案为D，她与大部分老朋友失去了联系，D选项中，将out of touch换了个表达方式，用lose contact来表达。A只有真正的朋友才会长久，未涉及。B，写信已经不流行了，未提及。C她经常与同学联系，与对话内容不符。

男：如果你决定了用什么颜色，那我下周周初就能开始你房子外部的工程了。
女：嗯，目前我想窗框用白色，墙用黄色，我明天给你确切的消息吧。
问：女人在和谁说话？
答：从对话中提到的关键词color，可以得知女人一旦确定颜色，男人便可动工，因此男人应该是为女人粉刷房屋，所以正确答案为A，油漆工。B机械工，C门房，搬运工，D，木匠，均与对话不符。
