Model Test 8

Section A

l. W: Hello, this is Mary Conners. May I speak to my husband please?

M: He has just gone out with a customer to show him a new car. Shall I have him call back?

Q: What type of work does Mr. Conners do?

(C) He has just gone out with a customer to show him a new car.意思是Mr. Conners 去给顾客看新车，由此可见他应该是个汽车销售员。

2. M: How did you like the movie last night?

W: Well, considering the reviews it had received, we were expecting a much better one

Q: How did the woman feel about the movie?

(A) 从女士的回答中可以推断出她对电影的态度。We were expecting a much better one说明她们期待的电影要好得多，即实际的没有想像的好，因此她的态度应为失望。

3. W: Richard has offered to help in the project, why do you still keep it a secret?

M: We suspect he has something up his sleeves.

Q: What does the man think about Richard?

(D) 本题的关键是要理解短语have something up one's sleeves，意思是暗中已有打算，也就是说我们怀疑Richard主动帮助我们的原因，故选D。

4. W: I don’t like your secretary. She seems to be suspicious of everything.

M: That’s true, but it is balanced by her competence.

Q: Which is true about the secretary?

(A) 本对话中but后面的内容是题眼，虽然这个秘书suspicious of everything但是她很有能力（balanced by her competence），故A为正确答案。

5. W: Could we drop by the lab for a minute? I have some experiments running that I

need to check on before dinner.

M: Sure, I have plenty of time. I’d be interested to see what you’re working on, anyway.

Q: What will they do?

(A) 这个对话比较复杂，含有使动关系和定语从句。I have some experiments running that I need to check on before dinner.我有几个实验正在进行，晚饭前需要检查一下。由此判断A应为正确答案。

6. M: you sure were on the phone for a long time. To whom were you talking?

W: Oh, Sally. She always knows the latest news in town and she couldn’t wait to see me to talk it over.

Q: What can we assume about Sally?

(B) 在这个对话中，女士水Sally总是急于告诉她最新的新闻，而且男士说过女士打电话打了好长时间。由此可见，B为符合题意的答案。

7. W: I’m terribly sorry, Bill, I didn’t finish the report on time. Trust me, next time I

will get it done as soon as possible.

M: Sorry, Helen. I’m afraid there is no next time.

Q: What does the man mean?

(A) 这个对话中，女士向男士道歉，因为她没能及时完成报告，并且保证下一次会尽快的，可男士告诉她已经没有下一次了，也就是女士很可能丢了工作。

8. W: Have you heard about the air crash that occurred last Wednesday?

M: Yes, the newspapers said six crewmembers and sixty-four passengers were killed and fifteen passengers were injured.

Q: How many people suffered in the air crash?

(A) suffer一词指受到伤害，因此伤亡的人数都应该包括在内。做此题只要把在air crash中死去的、受伤的机组人员和乘客加在一块就是答案。6+64+ 15=85。
