49、mation earlier this week but I havent heard yet，即预定了场地却没有收到确 认信，因此 D选项符合学生的来意。学生来的目的是确认是否有预定成功，并不是在之前预定基础上再预定一间，因此 A选项不正确。在开头部分学生表示希望电脑故障后一切正常运行，但学生自己面临的困难是房间的预定，并非电脑问题，因此 B和 C选项不正确。 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节题。工作人员看到学生后说： I mean， if there is nothing wrong， you didnt have to come all the way over here You could have called or emailed意思是如果有问题本可以通过电话或邮件联系，没必要亲自过来，因此工作人员看到学生感到吃惊， C选项正确。工作人员并没有看到学生感到厌烦和生气，因此 A选项不正确。对话的结尾部分学生有提到可以帮助工作人员解决电脑问题，工作人员也很感激，但这并不对应工作人员对学生来访的初次反应，因此 B选项不正确。学生到目前为止未收到确认信息。因此 D选项中表述学生已经确认的细节有误。 3 【正确答案】 C， D 【试题解析】 细节题。面对
