Part III Listening Comprehension
Section A
11.
M: Shawn's been trying for months to find a job. But I wonder how he could get a job when he looks like that.
W: Oh, that poor guy! He really should shave himself every other day at least and put on something clean.
Q: What do we learn about Shawn?
答案：A. He is careless about his appearance.
解析：男生首先对肖恩能否找到工作表示怀疑，因为他邋遢。女生接着提到肖恩不修边幅，又说他应该每隔一天刮一次胡子，把自己弄得整洁干净一点。由此可知，肖恩是一个对仪容仪表不太注重，比较粗线条的人shave，刮胡子;be careless about不在乎，不介意;
12.
W: I wish Jane would call when she know she'll be late. This is not the first time we've had to wait for her.
M: I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.
Q: What does the man imply?
答案：A. Jane maybe caught in a traffic jam.
解析：本题是推理题，在做题时要注意仔细推敲。女生说：“Jane已经不是第一次迟到让我们等了，我希望她能事先打电话告诉我们一下”，可见女生对Jane迟到的作法是不满的。
男生又说：“I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.”(我同意。但是她到这里的确要遭受很拥堵的交通。)由此得出，男生对此事的态度是理解或宽容的。Jane可能被堵在半路了。
13.
M: Congratulations! I heard your baseball team is going to the Middle Atlantic Championship.
W: Yeah, we're all working real hard right now!
Q: What is the woman's team doing?
答案：A. Training for the Mid-Atlantic Championship.
解析：对话开头男生提到女生所在的棒球队要参加Mid-Atlantic Championship.女生说：“we're all working real hard right now!”(我们现在正紧锣密鼓地练习呢!)由此可知，女生所在的棒球队正在进行赛前训练。
此题还有一个迷惑选项B, Making preparations for a trans-Atlantic trip,必须注意的是：这里并不是准备旅行，而是准备参赛。
14.
W: John's been looking after his mother in the hospital. She was injured in a car accident two weeks ago and still in critical condition.
M: Oh, that's terrible. And you know his father passed away last year.
Q: What do we learn about John?
答案：D. He has been having a hard time.
解析：根据听力原文可知，“John's mother is in the hospital and his father died last year.”(约翰的母亲出车祸住院了，父亲两年前也过世了)由此可见，John的近况还是蛮悲惨的;答案也就显而易见了。
15.
M: What a boring speaker! I can hardly stay awake.
W: Well, I don't know. In fact, I think it's been a long time since I've heard anyone is good.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
答案：D The woman thinks highly of the speaker
解析：根据听力原文可知，男生觉得演讲无趣，女生却很淡定地说：“其实我已经很久没有听到那么好的发言了”。由此可见，女生对发言还是很肯定的。选项D中“thinks highly of”即“对…评价高”，故D是正确答案。
16.
W: I'm having a lot of trouble with logic and it seems my professor can't explain it in a way that makes sense to me.
M: You know, there is a tutoring service on campus. I was about to drop statistics before they helped me out.
Q: What does the man mean?
答案：C. The woman should seek help from tutoring services.
解析：首先女生说她逻辑学得很辛苦，接受不了老师的讲课方式也理解不了课程内容。
而后男生说学校有辅导班，他在参加之前几乎要挂科了，辅导班帮了他大忙。言下之意是推荐女生也去上辅导班。

W: Oh, that wasn't me. That was my sister Jill. She's in your class.
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案：C. Jill wore the overcoat last week.
解析：首先男生问女生上周是否穿过拉风外套，然后女生说：“That was my sister Jill. She's in your class.”(那是我姐姐Jill，她和你同班)也就是说男生很有可能看到的那个穿着拉风外套的人是女生的姐姐Jill。
