Section C
It was the ambition of an eleven-year old boy in Kansas City to be an engine-driver. Born without arms, he had been to special schools where he learned to use his feet as “hands”. He spent all his spare time watching trains and one day his dreams came true. Seeing a deserted engine, the boy climbed in. He had no difficulty in starting it up with his feet. Soon he was traveling along at forty miles an hour. Signalmen could not see the young driver. So they set out to stop the train. Meanwhile the boy reached Missouri, stopped the engine himself, and then made it go backwards. When he was near home, a railway-man caught up with the engine and stopped it. At first he was very angry, but he smiled when the boy said simply, “I like trains.”
“Well, I’m glad you don’t like planes!” answered the railway-man.

答案与详解
Part Ⅰ
Section A
1. A 此题为数字运算题,要求考生在完全理解对话内容的前提下进行简单的运算。原文中Speaker 2 提到Flight 345 leaves at 2:50, 但乘客们必须提前一个小时到机场办理登记手续因而1:50为正确答案。
2. C此题为判断题, 要求考生通过听到的信息判断出对话发生的地点。虽然原文有“checkout”,但A不是正确答案。因为根据Speaker 2的谈话内容:你去付账,我给总台打电话让他们把我们的行李搬上出租车。说明两人还在房间里商量。因而C为正确答案。
3. C此题为逻辑推理题。Speaker 2 没有直接回答Speaker 1, 而只是提到她母亲送的食谱因而可判断Speaker 1将先看食谱,然后再烧汤。答案为C。
4. D根据Speaker 2的谈话内容:她妈妈希望她送她去机场,妈妈将去法国看Speaker 2的弟弟。原文其它信息为干扰信息,因而答案为D。
5. C此题为因果判断题。因为Speaker 2的邻居经常晚归,而且make a lot of noise,因而她需要一个安静些的地方,故答案为C。
Section B
Conversation 1
6. A对话一开始Speaker 2就很明确地问到有没有两张星期六晚上的Gone with the Wind 影票。后面亦都是些订票的内容,因而答案为A。
7. C原文最后问到订票者的姓名,Speaker 2回答到Bishop,Henry Bishop。答案只有C。
Conversation 2
8. B原文中Speaker 2直接回答会在春天结婚,故答案为B。
9. C当问到会在哪举行婚礼时,她还不那么确定:we’re not sure。虽然提到了St. Albans但也只是可能,故D答案排除。
10. C为什么她想在St. Albans那举行婚礼,是因为她父母住在那里。
