英语四级听力试题
16. M: I can’t find my lunch box anywhere.
W: Never mind. I’ll treat you today.
Q: What do we learn from this conversation?
【解析】选[C]。对话中的关键词是treat“款待;做东;请客”,男士说找不到自己的饭盒了,女士说没关系,我请你吃饭,选项[C]是女士回话的同义转述。[A]、[B]与对话无关。[D]是借treat一词设置的干扰项。
17. M: Wasn’t it terrific?
W: Well, the music was enjoyable, but the story didn’t make much sense to me. I still prefer traditional drama with strong characters and an exciting plot.
Q: What does the woman think of the play?
【解析】选[C]。对话中男士问女士对戏剧的看法,女士说戏剧的音乐不错,但故事情节没意思,并补充说她喜欢人物塑造力强、情节生动的传统戏剧。由此推知她认为这部戏剧太现代派了,故[C]为答案。
18. W: Where have you been all this time? The train is about to leave!
M: Sorry I’m late, but I was waiting for you at the information desk upstairs. It’s lucky I thought to look for you here on the platform.
Q: Where did the man think they were supposed to meet?
【解析】选[D]。根据男士的回答,我一直在楼上信息台那里等你,可知男士认为他们应在信息台见面。所以答案为[D]。
Conversation One
W: Excuse me, are you going to buy that book?
M: Well, I need it for a class but it’s awfully expensive.
W: Oh, we must be in the same class. Introduction to British Literature?
M: Yes, that’s the one. Were you there yesterday for the first class?
W: I sure was. Professor Robert really seems to know his subject.
M: Yes, I took his Shakespeare course last semester and it was very good. He likes listening to his students.
W: That’s a relief. I’m a biology major and I was a little uncertain about taking an English course.
M: I’m an English major and this is a required course. But now I’m in trouble because I’m not sure I can afford this book.
W: Hey, I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we split the cost and share the book?
M: Sounds great. Do you live on campus?
W: Yeah, I live on the 10th floor of Butler Hall.
M: Perfect. I live on the 3rd floor of Butler. We should have no trouble sharing the book. I can bring it up to your room right after I wrap up the assignment.
W: It’s a deal.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
【解析】选[A]。分析选项发现四个选项均是由表示方位的介宾短语“in+名词”构成,表明本题考查的是对地点的判断,我们可以根据行为活动和代表性的词语来判断地点。对话一开始女士的buy that book即表明对话发生在书店内。而
图书馆一般与借书、还书有关。
20. Which class are the man and the woman taking together?
【解析】选[C]。四个选项的内容在录音中都有提及,关键是听清题目问的是男士和女士一起讨论的是什么课。回忆女士所说的in the same class和Introduction to English Literature以及男士的肯定回答Yes可以得出答案。
21. What does the man think about Professor Robert?
【解析】选[D]。根据[B]、[C]、[D]可以推断He指的是一个老师或者教授。录音中提到了Professor Robert,女士说Professor Robert really seems to know his subject,男士肯定了女士的说法,说Professor Robert的课very good并且喜欢listening to his students,由此可以判断Professor Robert是一个优秀的教授。
Conversation Two
M: You should have seen the line at the housing office. It took me an hour to make my dormitory deposit for next year. Have you made yours yet?
W: No, I’m not sure I’m going to.
M: There’s not much time left. The deadline’s May 1. That is just two weeks from now. Are you short of cash?
W: No, I’m Okay.
M: You’d better hurry up if you want a dorm room next September. There aren’t enough rooms for every one, and first year students have priority.
W: Well, I’ve been thinking about living off campus.
M: Have you any idea of how much that would cost? There is the rent, utilities, and you’d probably need a car.
W: I know it would be more expensive. I think I can handle it though. The dorm is just so noisy that I can’t get anything done. Maybe my grades would be better if I had some peace and quiet in a place of my own.
M: You should study in the library the way I do. Think of the money you’d save.
W: I’ve got to think it over some more. There’s still two weeks left in April.
