15. M: I'd like to buy these four greeting cards. Are they ten yuan each?　
W: Three of them are. But that smaller one costs only half the price of the big ones.　
Q: How much will the man pay for the cards?
【解析】选[C]。这是一道综合性的计算题，但并不复杂，只要听到Three of them are (ten yuan each)"其中三个是每个十元"及that smaller one costs half the price of the bigger ones"小卡片的价钱是大卡片的一半"，确定应选[C]。

16. W: I know you're busy, but how about attending a film festival tonight? Your favorite star will make an appearance.
M: You think I'd give that a miss?
Q: What does the man mean?
【解析】选[A]。女士对男士说我知道你很忙，但今晚你愿意参加一个电影节吗，你最喜欢的明星会露面。男士反问道，你认为我会放弃这个机会吗？实际上暗示了他肯定会去的，这和选项 [A]吻合。男士的回答中，You think I'd give that a miss?是这个对话的关键点。

17. W: Would you mind sending champagne and strawberries to my room at 1 a.m. please?
M: I'll try, ma'am. But on Wednesday the kitchen staff leave at mid-night.
Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?　
【解析】选[D]。champagne and strawberry、sending … to my room、kitchen staff构成了一个"在宾馆谈论送餐"的特定场景。

18. W: You were on the phone for a long time. To whom were you talking?
M: Oh, to Susan. She always knows the latest news in town and she couldn't wait to see me to talk it over.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
【解析】选[B]。对话中男士不仅回答了女士的问题，还进一步提到Susan急于告知他镇上的最新消息。选项[B] eager to pass the information she knows就是对话中couldn't wait to see me to talk it over的同义转述can't wait to do sth.意为"急切地想要做某事"。

Conversation One
W: Can I help you?
M: Yes, I'd like to read some articles that are on reserve about British culture.
W: Professor Grand's class?
M: That's right. How could you know?
W: Let's just say you are not the first person coming in asking for those articles.
M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet, it doesn't really matterwhich one you give me first.
W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment. They've all been checked out.
M: You're joking, all of them?
W: Every month. I've asked professor Grand twice already to bring in additional copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the shelves than they are gone. See that girl in the black sweater? She's been waiting for half an hour for those same articles to be returned.
M: And here's me. I went out of my way to free out the whole afternoon to read.
W: I'm sorry, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it. All I can suggest is that you come in first thing tomorrow morning and try again. We open at eight.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

19. What is the man surprised to learn?
【解析】选[C]。男士来借阅论文，被告知论文都被借走(been checked out)了，不由得说，You are joking, all of them?其中，You are joking表示不相信、惊讶之情(surprised)。同义的表达有Are you kidding?

20. What does the woman say about Professor Grand?
【解析】选[D]。根据选项无法判断问题是什么的时候，更需要我们注意听问题。 题目问Professor Grand的情况，图书管理员说她已经两次请Professor Grand拿来多份论文，但总是很快就被借走了。其他选项在对话中都找不到依据。

21. What does the woman suggest that the man do?
【解析】选[A]。对话的最后部分女士建议男士明天一早就过来(come in first thing tomorrow morning)，并告诉他开馆时间为8点。

Conversation Two
M: Come on, Julie, how are we going to convince everybody that I'm the best candidate?
W: It won't be easy!
M: Thanks a lot!
W: Oh, just kidding. Actually, I think once we show everyone how well you did asjunior class treasurer, you are sure to be elected president.
M: Well..., what's your strategy?
W: One thing I was thinking of is to hang campaign posters in all the hallways.
M: But everyone puts up posters. We need to do something different.
W: Let me finish. The campus radio station is willing to let you have five minutestomorrow morning at seven to outline your plans for the year. Lots of students will hear you then.
M: Great idea!
W: I've also arranged for you to give a speech during dinner time tomorrow. Over a hundred students will be there. And you can answer questions after you finish speaking.
M: That means I'd better come up with a speech pretty quickly. How about if I write it tonight and show it to you after chemistry class tomorrow?
W: Fine. I'll see you after class.
M: You are really good at this. I'll be glad you agreed to help me out.
