答案解析

Conversation Two
M: [22]Happy Anniversary!
W: Oh, thank you. They're beautiful. You shouldn't have... especially since [22]our anniversary was last week.
M: What? [22]Oh, I completely forgot. How can I make it up to you? Anything!
W: Okay, let's negotiate. First of all, I want to go on that dream vacation you've always promised me.
M: You mean, to Chicago?
W: No! To Europe. [23]I want to fly first class and stay at 5-star hotels. And no more places with broken heaters, leaky showers, and dirty bedding.
M: Ah, were those places that bad?
W: Well, something a little nicer, at least once in a blue moon, would be nice. And next, [24]I want to get a new kitchen stove. The old one took its last breath days ago.
M: Oh, well.
W: And finally, I want a new wardrobe: some new dresses, shirts, pants, earrings...
M: But...
W: And, no, I'm not going to wear your grandmother's old secondhand pants again.
M: Is that it?
W: Uh, hmm, for now. So, [25]why don't we grab a bite to eat before we start planning the entire adventure?
M: But lunch wasn't on the list.
W: Let's see. Paris, Rome, London, then a short detour to Russia, China,and, ooh, and Hawaii on the way home.
M: Wow. I'd better ask the boss for a huge raise.

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What mistake did the man make?
正确答案：B
解析：四个选项都是描述男士的过失，听录音时要格外留意。男士祝女士结婚纪念日快乐，女士说纪念日是上周，男士说“我彻底忘了”，故答案为B。对话开头常出题。
23. What is the woman's dream vacation like?
正确答案：C
解析：听到女士说vacation时，注意之后的具体描述（坐头等舱、住五星级宾馆），概括得出答案为C。A中的Chicago不是女士想去旅游的地方，故不正确。D中的blue moon（蓝月亮）曲解了女士话语中的once in a bule moon（极少，千载难逢）。
24. Why does the woman want a new kitchen stove?
正确答案：A
解析：对话中女士说“我要一个新的厨灶”，接着解释了原因：几天前就不能用了。所以A正确。
25. What does the woman suggest doing before they plan the trip?
正确答案：B
解析：听到建议句型why don't we...时要注意捕捉后面的信息。grab a bite to eat意为“随便吃点快餐”，故选B。如果不明白该短语含义，只要听到了bite, eat, lunch也可以解答本题。
