2. 第二个人说的是Come on，好像在提供建议，as long as it looks good on her，这个as long as，表示只要，是不是一个条件关系，发表的是个人观点，好像对他来说比较好，这个good，对应的是选项4中的fine，答案是D。

3. woman说的话里面有这样一个俚语，I've got a sweet tooth，sweet tooth这个是糖做的牙，但是引申意义为我喜欢吃甜食，所以要在ABCD中选一个含有糖的，C Ice cream，Ice cream 好像是冰激凌的意思，应该是含糖的，其实和原文中的sweet相对应。

4. 第九题，应该是在第二个说话，好像是在后半句对不对？这个后半句是含有If条件状语从句，如果你负担得起，你就去买，言外之意，这个东西我们能买得起吗？有点儿困难，价expensive，所以这道题，应该对应的是B，Cars that drive themselves may be very expensive。

5. 第二个人说的I don't mind being married to my Career，这个married to表示与什么结缘，我并不介意和我的Career结缘，它的意思是他的经历和她的婚姻观念取决于什么？是不是她的工作？这个句子中的关键词，应该是Career，那应该是哪一个词？应该是job，be married to表示与什么结缘，是集中精力研究什么事儿，或者把精力放在什么上，所以对应的是focus on，所以两点确定D，She will fully focus on her job。
