Q: What does the man suggest the woman do? 女士说:“我简直不敢相信我的背还在疼。按道理说,医生给我开的药现在应该起作用了。”男士答道:“或许你应该按照医生说的那样,每天服用三次。”问,男士建议女士怎么做?从男士的话 可以推断出,之前女士没有按照医生的要求服药,所以她应该开始按医生的要求服药,选项 A 中的“as she was directed to do”是原文中“like you were told“的同义重复,所以正确答案是 A。(4). A. She couldnt remember the mans phone number

35、 Q: What does the woman mean? 男士说:“Angela,你没有收到我的留言吗?我在你的电话留言里留了两条信息。”女士说:“啊?不好意思 Peter,我本来准备联系你的,只是忽然忘了这事。”问,女士的话是什么意思?这道题主要是对“skip my mind“2 茎个词组的考查,其意思是“忘记了”,女士说她只是忽然忘记了打给男士,所以正确答案是 C。这里要注意,女士忘记的是她前一句话,即“联系他”这件事情,而非忘记其电话号码,所以 A 项排除不选。(5).

Q: What does the woman imply? 男士说:“这药每天三次,每次两片,而且不能空腹服用。”女士说:“那如果我没有胃口怎么办?”问,女士的意思是什么?此题解题的关键在于对 an empty stomach 这个词的理解。男士说这个词组的意思是“空腹”的意思,而这个词组还有一个引申意义,为“胃空了,肚子饿了”。正是因为女士理解成了另一个意思,所以才会问:“如果我没有胃口怎么办?”。说明她不喜欢吃药,所以正确答案是 A。(3). A. Return Helens notes in a f
41、ew days. B. Write Helen a note of apology. C. Let him talk to Helen about the situation. D. Apologize when Helen is less angry.(分数:7.00)A.B.C.D. 解析:解析 W: I feel horrible.
