42、查事实细节。从对话中得知，李燕试穿了三件笳克衫。此处需要考生集中精力听有关第一件的内容信息。原文中这一信息是在对话开始不久，通过 Norma 的问句表述出来的：“How about this smart black one with gold buttons?”所以，这里我们应该填写 gold buttons。(2).The first jacket Li Yan tried on only cost（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：57.99）解析：解析 本题考查事实细节。此处仍然考查有关第一件笳克衫的具体信息。原文中，李燕对 Norma所推荐的第一件笳克衫表示喜欢。但是，她担心
43、是否价格有点贵。这时，Norma 提议看看袖子上是否有价签。随后，我们听到李燕对这件衣服的价格表示认可“Oh，57.99thats not bad at all，is it?”。(3).The first jacket was too big. The sales assistant brought her another one the same style in her（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：size）解析：解析 本题考查事实细节。当李燕试穿了第一件衣服以后，发现有点大，这时，她们询问销售人员是否还有更合适的尺码。随后，销售人员为李燕拿来了另外两件相同款式、尺码不同的
44、笳克衫。原文中是这样表述的：“There Ive brought the size 10 in black and similar dark blue one for you to try”(4).Li Yan was not happy with the second one, what did she feel uncomfortable?（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：the collar）解析：解析 本题考查事实细节。李燕在试穿了第二件衣服后，感觉尺码合适，但是领子处并不舒服。原文中是这样表述的：“I think the size is OK，but the collar
45、 feels uncomfortable”，所以，这里应该填写 the collar。(5).What color was the wool jacket she tried on?（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：dark blue）解析：解析 本题考查事实细节。销售人员看到李燕对试穿的两件衣服都不满意，于是，向她推荐了第三件。这时，考生应该集中精力收听有关第三件笳克衫的信息。从问题中，可以看出，需要听的是有关颜色的信息。而这一信息在销售人员的推荐中已经提供出来了“Well，here，try this dark blue one”。五、Part C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六
