13.W:I don’t really see why you want to buy a taperecorder; after all, we’ve got a recordplayer.
M:It’s just I want one, that’s all.
Q:What did the man want to buy?
【解析】D女士说：我不明白你为什么想买个录音机，我们已经有一个播放机了。男士说：我就是想要一个。所以，男士想买的是一个录音机。
14.M:It seems to me that I can’t find Park Street on the map. It’s not far from here, I believe.
W:Why not ask someone where it is?
Q: What does the woman mean?
【解析】C男士说：我在地图上找不到公园街了，我相信一定离这儿不远。女士说：为什么不问问人那个地方在哪儿呢?女士的意思是建议男士去寻求帮助。
15.M:I think it’s high time we turned our attention to the danger of drunk driving now.

Q: What does the woman mean?
【解析】D男士说：我们是时候该注意酒后驾驶的危险了。女士说：我再同意不过了，每年有无数无辜的人被酒后驾车的司机致死。因此，女士的意思是应该注意到酒后驾车的危害性。
16.M:If I were you, I’d ride a bike to work. Taking a crowded bus during rush hours is really terrible.
W:Thank you for your advice, but my bike has got a flat tyre.
Q: How would the woman most probably get to work?
【解析】A关键词在于flat tyre车胎没气了。男士说：如果我是你我会骑自行车去上班。在上班高峰期挤公车是在太糟糕了。女士说：谢谢你的建议，但是我自行车车胎没气了。那么，由此可见，女士仍然会挤公车上班去。

Q: What does the woman mean?
【解析】C男士说：老板说如果我再犯错就炒我鱿鱼，但事实上那不是我的错是吉姆的错。女士说：你应该把真相直接地坦诚地告诉他，他会理解你的。
Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W:I haven’t seen you here for a couple of weeks. Have you stopped eating, or something?
M:No, does look like I’ve stopped eating? I’ve been spending a lot of time in the library.
W: Working on the paper?
M:I wish I was working on a paper. I’m working on three different papers: anthropology, English lit and history.
W: Wow, that is a lot of work.
M:Yeah, and what’s frustrating is that I am studying the 19th century British Empire in all three classes. But I can’t just write a single paper for all three.
W: Why not?
M:The professors won’t let me even if I can make it three times as long as the suggested length.
W:Oh, that’s too bad. Could you write your papers on three aspects of one topic?
M:Mm, what do you mean? Do you have something in mind?
