　　答案及解析：

　　Section A

　　11. W: Look at the mess! And the guests will be here soon!

　　M: Take it easy. I’ll make sure the house is spotless.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【解析】选[A]。男士说他肯定会让屋子干干净净的，也就是他会打扫屋子的，选项[A]符合题意。spotless意为“一尘不染的，干净的”。选项[B]、[C]误解了对话中的take it easy。

　　12. M: Is the next game going to be held at our stadium or theirs?

　　W: Do you really think it will make much of a difference with a losing record like ours?

　　Q: What does the woman imply?

　　【解析】选[C]。女士说对我们这样一直保持失败记录的队伍来说，比赛在什么地方举行有很大不同吗?言下之意是他们的队伍终将失败，也就无所谓在什么地方举行比赛了，故选项[C]符合题意。

　　13. M: Mum, I got a part-time job at the supemp3arket. Three hours a day weekday and all day Saturday.

　　W: Congratulations!But are you sure you can handle it? What about homework?

　　Q: What’s the woman worried about?

　　【解析】选[B]。母亲第一次使用疑问语气，反映出她对儿子能否兼顾工作和学习的担心。第二次疑问则突出反映了她对儿子学习的忧虑，故选[B]。

　　14. W: You see, there are too many people here. Let’s go to some other places.

　　M: All right. But cold weather in December cannot keep people away from the busy shops.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【解析】选[B]。女士说这里人太多了，到其他地方去看看吧。男士说，没问题，但是12月的冷天也不能阻挡人们来这些热闹的商店，言下之意是尽管12月的天气很冷，逛商店的人仍然会多，故选项[B]符合题意。

　　15. W: Your exam is over, isn’t it? Why aren’t you cheerful?

　　M: Oh, I don’t know. It isn’t that the questions were too hard, but I always feel uneasy when the exam doesn’t seem to have much to do with the book.

　　Q: What was the man’s opinion of the exam?

　　【解析】选[B]。在but后男士提到试卷与书的联系不大时，他就总觉得不安。选项[B] 是对此的同义转述。对话提到...it isn’t that the questions were too hard, 意思是这些问题其实并不难。由此可以排除选项[A]、[D]。[C]项中time(考试时间)在对话中没有提及。

　　16. W: What do you think of the movie?

　　M: It was worth neither the time nor the money.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【解析】选[B]。“neither...nor...”结构是对两个内容的否定，也就是说时间和钱花得都不值，言外之意就是这部电影根本不值得一看。

　　17. M: Good afternoon. I’m Mr. Jackson. I answered your ad for an experienced advertising executive.

　　W: Oh, yes, Mr. Jackson. Won’t you have a seat? The manager will see you shortly.

　　Q: What do we learn about Mr. Jackson?

　　【解析】选[D]。男士来应聘广告上说的有经验的广告主管职位。女士说经理马上就会见他。关键词是experienced(有经验的)、see you(会见)，另外前面的ad指报纸上的招聘广告，后面的advertising executive指的是广告主管职位，选项[D] 符合题意。

　　18. M: Excuse me, would you please tell me when the next flight to Los Angeles is?

　　W: Sure. The next direct flight to Los Angeles is two hours from now, but if you do not mind transferring at San Francisco you can board now.

　　Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

　　【解析】选[D]。the next flight、direct flight(直达航班)、transferring(转机，换乘)构成了“在机场咨询航班情况”的特定场景。由女士所说的if you do not mind transferring at san Francisco you can board now可知答案为[D]。
