　　听力原文及答案

　　Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension

　　Section A

　　11. M: Why don't you come to our home for dinner some time this week? I have practiced to improve my cooking.

　　W: I'd like to, but we have visitors from Finland, perhaps next week.

　　Q: Why can't the woman accept the man's invitation?

　　【解析】B)。四个选项都是关于女士，由此暗示对话当中应该更加重视与女士有关的部分。男士邀请女士去他家吃晚饭(come to our home for dinner)，女士说这个星期有芬兰来的客人(visitors from Finland)要招待，可能要下个星期去。因为女士这个星期有客人，所以女士不能接受男士的邀请。故正确答案为B)。

　　12. M: I hope I won't oversleep. I've simply got to catch the first flight to New York.

　　W: If I were you, I'd request the wake-up call from the hotel reception.

　　Q: What does the woman advise the man do?

　　【解析】D)。四个选项都是不定式，由此可以推断，本题的内容可能是目的或者动作。 女士说，如果我是你(If I were you)，就会要旅店提供叫醒电话(wake-up call)。由此可见，女士建议男士ask for a wake-up call，正确答案为D)。

　　13. M: I really had a busy week. I want to get some rest. I always enjoy a nap on Saturday afternoon.

　　W: I don't think you can. Mr. Smith has just parked his car at the door, and he is coming up now.

　　Q: What can we learn from this conversation?

　　【解析】B)。四个选项都更侧重男士方面，由此暗示对话当中应该更加注意与男士相关的部分。 男士一般都在星期六下午睡个午觉(enjoy a long siesta on Saturday afternoon)，但女士说Mr. Smith已经在门口停车，马上就来了(parked his car at the door，he is coming up)。由此可以推断，男士今天不能睡午觉了(won't be able to enjoy a nap)。故正确答案为B)。
