短对话

11. W: This crazy bus schedule has got me completely confused. I can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves?

M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask?

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

12.

W: I really enjoyed the TV Special about giraffes last night. Did you get home in time to see it?

M: Oh, yes. But I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing。

Q: What does the man mean?

13.

W: Airport, please. I’m running a little late, so just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct。

M: Sure, but there’s a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game。

Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

14.

W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our sea food with this special sauce is very good。

M: Thank you. But I don’t eat shellfish, I’m allergic to it。

W: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

15.

W: Now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in a company appeals to you most?

M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant。

16.

M: I don’t think I want to live in the dormitory next year. I need more privacy。

W: I know what you mean but check out the cost of renting an apartment first, I won’t be surprised if you change your mind。

Q: What does the woman imply?

17.

M: You’re on the right track. I just think you need to narrow the topic down。

W: Yeah, you’re right. I always start by choosing too broad a topic when I’m doing your research paper。

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

18.

W: This picnic sure beats the last one we went to, doesn’t it?

M: Oh, yeah. We had to spend the whole time inside. Good thing the weather was cooperative this time。
