原文+答案解析

183.
W: Kennedy Airport, please. I have to be there by 7:00.
M: I can't promise anything, but I'll do my best.
W: I'll pay more if we get there on time.
M: But safety is more important.
答案解析：
正确答案为C。根据I'll pay more if we get there on time. 如果我们准时到机场，我会多付钱给你。可推知，女子赶时间，还要多付司机钱，应是乘坐出租车运往机场，因此 C项正确。

184.
W: Well, Mr. Anderson, you are at greatest risk since you smoke and drink too much.
M: Am I in a serious condition, doctor?
W: Yes, absolutely. It might be a good idea if you give up smoking and drinking altogether.
M: Oh, dear... I'm afraid that's out of the question.
答案解析：
正确答案为B。根据I'm afraid that's out of the question. out of the question这个词组表示不可能，因此这句话的意思是恐怕那不可能。可知，男子认为医生的建议他办不到，因此B项正确。
