答案解析

Conversation Two
M: [23]The weather forecast says it will rain today.
W: [23]Yeah, doesn't it always? They've been saying that for a week and I haven't seen much sign of it so far.
M: Yeah, but look. This time maybe they're on target. The sky's very dark. I got a feeling the rain will be heavy.
W: If it's raining heavily after class, wait for me and I'll bring you an umbrella.
M: That's kind of you to offer, but don't worry I'll probably just wait it out.
W: By the way, what are the chances that you might be able to have a word with Professor Simpson in Criminology class? [24]We still need some resources for our Psychology project and his input might help.
M: I could ask him, although I don't know how eager he'd be to give us information about such a topic.
W: Oh, come on, he's always so helpful. Why would he even hesitate?
M: [25]Well, he has this mind set, which opposes the notion that criminals must necessarily be psychologically abnormal. He feels it's just a stereotype.
W: Ok. But when it comes to certain crimes like mass murder, there must be a few "marbles loose".
M: You would think so. But it's hard to convince Simpson that anyone's crazy.
W: Perhaps he'd make a good reference source in the section where we include counter-arguments to our main thesis.
M: Good thinking. Let's give it a shot.
W: That's the spirit!

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. Why does the woman seem unconvinced that it will rain today?
正确答案：C
解析：男士提到天气预报说今天要下雨时，女士表示，一个星期以来，天气预报天天说要下雨，但一直没看到任何下雨的迹象。由此可知她已经不相信天气预报了，故C正确。选项A可能会误选，注意时态与原文的不同。长对话的第一个话通常设考点。
24. Why do the man and woman want to talk to Mr. Simpson?
正确答案：C
解析：女士提到Simpson教授后，说：“我们的心理学方案还需要些素材，从他那儿也许可以得到帮助。”由此可知他们想要找Mr. Simpson的目的是C。
25. What is Simpson's view towards criminals?
正确答案：A
解析：从选项中共有的He, thinks, criminals等词，猜测本题很有可能问He对罪犯的观点。男士说道：“他（Simpson教授）有这么一种固定的想法，反对罪犯一定是心理不正常这种观点，他觉得那仅仅是一种老套的思维。”A中的rejects是对原文opposes的同义替换，故A正确。B、C、D均与长对话中的含义相反，均不正确。长对话中对问句的答语往往是考点所在。
