Test 19
Section A
11.
W: I can't seem to tune the station I want. Funny, I found it yesterday.
M: Maybe you should put the antenna up. I hope you find it soon. The talk show is about to begin. You don't want to miss it, do you?
Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the speakers?
正确答案：D
解析：女士正在调台，试图找到她想听的那个频道，男士建议她装上天线试一下，还得快点弄好，因为访谈节目就要开始了。故答案是D。根据选项可以预测出问的是对话双方正在做的事情。B项为强干扰项，但是“tune the station”说明对话双方是用收音机来听广播，这跟“performance”相距甚远。

W: The Mississippi is one of the world's great rivers. It's about 6,400 kilometers long. Can you name some other important rivers?
M: There is the Yukon in Alaska, and also Colorado River. They are 3,168 kilometers and 2,186 kilometers respectively.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
正确答案：D
解析：根据对话，Colorado River长度为2186公里。故答案是D。选项都包含有地名和数字，猜测题目与河流的名字及长度有关。抓住各选项的关键点，在地名旁边写下相对应的数字，边听边做笔记。
