M: Hi, Cathy, how did you find yesterday's speech competition?
W: Well, to be honest, it was quite disappointing.
M: You didn't like the speeches?
W: Yes, I did. In fact, I enjoyed listening to most of the speeches. But I just couldn't accept the result, you know.
M: Hmm, you mean the judges?
W: I mean most of the listeners including me didn't understand why the judges didn't like Samantha. It was such a shock when they announced the winner was Jim. We all thought Samantha's pronunciation was the best.
M: You're probably right. But don't you think the speech itself is more important? As I see it, Jim's speech was more meaningful. I was deeply moved by the story he told us.
W: But, in my opinion, we also learned something very important from Samantha's speech.
M: That's right. Samantha and Jim were indeed very close. I guess it was difficult for the judges.
W: Well, I wish I could agree with you. But I do think Samantha was the best.
答案解析：
(1) 正确答案为C。根据But I just couldn't accept the result.我只是不能接受结果。可知，女子对比赛结果很失望，因此C项正确。

(2) 正确答案为A。根据It was such a shock when they announced the winner was Jim.当裁判宣布获胜者是吉姆的时候，大家都非常震惊。A项astonished表示惊讶，吃惊，与shock是同义词，因此A项正确。

(3) 正确答案为A。对话中男子认为Jim's speech was more meaningful.吉姆的演讲更有意义，后又表示吉姆和萨曼莎的演讲很接近，而女子则认为Samantha's pronunciation was the best. 萨曼莎的发音是最好的，后来表示I do think Samantha was the best.我认为萨曼莎的演讲是最好的。可知，二人在谁的演讲更好这个问题上意见不同，因此A项正确。B项和C项只说到了片面问题，排除。
