答案解析

Conversation Two
W: May I come in?
M: Come in, please. Do you know what time it is?
W: It's 8:20. I am very sorry to be late again. And I am also sorry to disturb you and others.
M: All right, what's your excuse this time? Don't tell me your alarm didn't go off or your watch stopped. I don't wanna hear it!
W: Excuse me, sir. I hit the rush hour. You just cannot imagine how terrible the traffic jam is.
M: Why don't you get up earlier to avoid this time?
W: I'm sorry, sir. [24]I indeed got up early, but my watch is 20 minutes slow.
M: I'm never late for work, you see. [25]I always set my watch 15 minutes fast every day.
W: Oh, that's a good idea! [25]I'll set my watch... 30 minutes fast... to avoid hitting rush hour. I promise I won't be late in future. And I hope you could forgive me once more.
M: That's right! [23]You are already late for work three times, if this happens again, you will be fired.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What's the possible relationship between the two speakers?
正确答案：A
解析：题目询问两个说话者之间可能是什么关系。通过对话可以知道两在讨论上班迟到的问题，因此判断两者的关系为A。对话最后男士说“你已经迟到三次，如果再次迟到就会被开除。”更可确定答案为A。
24. Why is the woman late?
正确答案：C
解析：细节题。女士明确地说了“我确实很早起床，但我的表慢了20分钟”，所以答案为C。A、B两项是男士的问话，并非女士所做的回答；D项与对话中的内容相悖。
25. How many minutes faster will the woman's watch be than the man's?
正确答案：C
解析：数字题。对话中女士说她的表慢了20分钟，男士说他总是把他的表拨快15分钟，女士觉得这是个好办法，于是决定将她的表拨快30分钟。因此答案为C。
