Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: This food is terrible! I can't even finish my dinner.
M: I know, You think with all the money we paid for room and board, the university could hire a better food service. Where are you headed next?
W: [19]I'm going over to the student recreation center to play some bridge.
M: You are spending your time on a card game?
W: Not just any card game. It's one of the most strategic games.
M: So I have heard. Don't you play with a partner?
W: Yeah! Four people play, two against the other two.
M: So, you try to play in cooperation with your partner?
W: Actually, the cards of one of the four players are turned face up. That player is called the dummy.
M: I wouldn't want to be called that. When you are the dummy, what do you do while the cards are being played?
W: Anything you want. Sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone... [20]I like to stand behind my partner and watch. That is very interesting.
M: You know, I've heard that bridge is habit-forming. [21]You should be careful not to play so much that you don't get your studying done.
W: Don't worry about me. I only play cards on Thursday after dinner, and sometimes when they need a fourth player. If you like, I could teach you.
M: Thanks, [22]but I have a pretty heavy workload this semester. I already spend my evenings doing things I don't really know how to do yet.
W: I know you are busy, but sometimes you need to have a rest.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. How does the woman plan to spend her evening?
正确答案:C
解析:女士说:“我打算去学生娱乐中心打桥牌。”故答案为C。-ing选项,问动作,要注意对话中的动词。选项C是原文的同义替换。
20. What will the woman probably do if she is the dummy?
正确答案:A
解析:女士说:“我喜欢站在搭档身后看着她/他打牌。”和A相符合。四个选项都是动宾结构,应当就某种具体行为提问。答题时要抓住原文中的关键动词:或者原词再现,或者是同义替换。一方对另一方问题的回答,常常就是考点。
21. What does the man warn the woman not to do?
正确答案:D
解析:男士说,你不要打牌打得太过分忘了学习。所以D正确。原形动词选项,一般问打算、建议、劝告,猜测题目可能是问对女士的建议。听到什么选什么。
22. Why doesn't the man accept the woman's offer?
正确答案:D
解析:男士说:“我这学期的任务非常重。”表示他太忙了,所以没有时间去玩牌。所以D正确。四个选项都和He相关,且内容都表示他不打牌,故可基本推断出题目。注意听but后面的信息。
