　　Q: Where did this conversation most probably take place?

　　16. M: Im sorry, Miss. Youll have to come with us. Hidden cameras have detected what you have done. Leave the merchandise here.

　　W: Ill come along, but I assure you that I can prove my innocence.

　　Conversation One

　　M: Doctor Thomas? This is Keith Bradley from The Daily News. Id like to ask you some questions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.

　　W: Id be happy to help you. What would you like to know?

　　M: First of all, how is the standard weight used?

　　W: Well, the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. The Department of Weights and Measures were a government agency its our responsibility to see that all the scales measure a kilogram accurately. So this is the weight we use to adjust the scales.

　　M: How did you check the scales before?

　　W: We have an old standard weight that we used to use. It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see, it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous it absorbed too much moisture.

　　M: Oh, so when the weather was humid, it weighed more. And when it was dry, it weighed less.

　　W: Exactly. And that variation can affect the standards of the whole country. So our department had the new weight made out of higher quality metal.

　　W: About forty-five thousand dollars.

　　M: Forty-five thousand dollars! For a one kilogram weight! Thats more expensive than gold. Is it really worth that much?

　　W: Im sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales, so that when they buy and sell their products theres one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example: those companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. What is the conversation mainly about?

　　【解析】選[A]。選項(xiàng)都是一些總結(jié)性的詞句表明該題可能就對(duì)話(huà)的主旨或大意提問(wèn)。由對(duì)話(huà)開(kāi)頭就提到的some questions about the new official standard weight that you purchased可判斷該對(duì)話(huà)是圍繞新的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)測(cè)重砝碼展開(kāi)的，故選[A]。[B]和[C]都是針對(duì)對(duì)話(huà)中it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous it absorbed too much moisture設(shè)的干擾項(xiàng)。[D]在對(duì)話(huà)中沒(méi)有涉及。

　　20. How is the weight used?

　　【解析】選[B]。選項(xiàng)表明該題可能考查某一個(gè)事物的用途或作用。[C]中的atmosphere與選項(xiàng)中多次提到的scale，metal，weight等詞關(guān)系不大，故可初步排除。由對(duì)話(huà)中Dr. Thomas的回答... use it to check the scales all over the country可直接得出答案是[B]。[D]是根據(jù)對(duì)話(huà)中的higher quality metal設(shè)的干擾項(xiàng)。

　　21. What does Doctor Thomas probably think about the cost of the new weight?

　　【解析】選[D]。選項(xiàng)表明該題是就某物是否值許多錢(qián)提問(wèn)。[A] 和[C]的觀(guān)點(diǎn)完全相反，[B]持中立態(tài)度，[D]說(shuō)該事物擁有的重要功能來(lái)說(shuō)是很合理的，看問(wèn)題全面、客觀(guān)，這樣的選項(xiàng)往往是答案。當(dāng)對(duì)話(huà)中女士對(duì)該工具是否值那么多錢(qián)提出疑問(wèn)時(shí)，Dr. Thomas的回答是Im sure it is，而后又舉了藥品工業(yè)的例子說(shuō)明標(biāo)準(zhǔn)測(cè)量砝碼的重要功能，故[D]正確。Conversation Two

　　M: Hi, Grace. Mind if I eat lunch with you?

　　W: No. Mr. Evans, not at all.

　　M: Thanks. I just heard that youre studying nutrition and youve got quite a bit of experiences working in the cafeteria, so I wonder if you will be interested in a small project we are doing this term.

　　W: Whats the project all about?

　　M: More and more students have been deciding not to buy the meal here and we want to attract them back. So I want to hear what students would like. Your job would be to find out.

　　W: Well, if the menus were changed, then maybe I wouldnt have to listen to so much criticism.

　　M: That makes you perfect for the job. Would you be interested?

　　W: Im not sure. What sorts of changes are you thinking of?

　　M: Id like to make some changes in the way we prepare our food. For example, just look at what we have to choose from today. You got a fried hamburger and I got fried chicken. They both contain too much fat.

　　W: But youd better not get rid of them. Theyre everybodys favorite.

　　M: Well, we can certainly keep them, but we need to give the people who are health-conscious some choices. For example, we could also prepare chicken without the fatty skin and serve it on some rice with a light sauce. Do you think that would appeal to students?

　　W: Well, Id like that. Youre right. Youd better find out what others think. Sorry, Ive got to get back to work. Id like to hear more though. Ill drop by your office later.

　　M: OK, see you then.

　　Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　22. What are the two speakers talking about?

　　23. What does the man want the woman to do?

　　【解析】選[D]。選項(xiàng)表明該題很可能就某人的工作或任務(wù)提問(wèn)。選項(xiàng)[A]、[C]、[D]都與食物有關(guān)，而[B]沒(méi)有涉及到食物，與其他三項(xiàng)差別較大，故可初步排除。由對(duì)話(huà)中男士所說(shuō)的I want to hear what students would like. Your job would be to find out可推知Mr. Evans是要Grace調(diào)查學(xué)生喜歡的食物，這與[D]意思一致。[A]是針對(duì)對(duì)話(huà)中的fried hamburger和fried chicken設(shè)的干擾項(xiàng)。

　　24. What does the man suggest the cafeteria do?

　　【解析】選[C]。選項(xiàng)表明該題可能考查某人對(duì)食物的建議。[A]、[C]、[D]都提到了食物的配料或成分，[B]只提到了食物的價(jià)格，與其他三項(xiàng)明顯不同，故可初步排除。由對(duì)話(huà)中的a fried hamburger ...fried chicken...both contain too much fat推斷，男士建議女士應(yīng)該做一些脂肪含量少的食物，這與[C]意思一致。[D]是強(qiáng)干擾項(xiàng)，男士只是拿這些油炸食品舉例，告訴女士應(yīng)該增加產(chǎn)品種類(lèi)。

　　25. How does the woman think of the mans project?

　　【解析】選[C]。根據(jù)選項(xiàng)推斷該題可能考查某人的態(tài)度。前三項(xiàng)都屬于一種明確的態(tài)度，[D]Indifferent意思為漠不關(guān)心的，與其他三項(xiàng)明顯不同，很可能不是答案。由對(duì)話(huà)中女士所說(shuō)的Whats the project all about?及Id like that可推知女士對(duì)男士的項(xiàng)目很感興趣，故選[C]。考生應(yīng)注意含有somewhat，certain等詞的選項(xiàng)往往是答案。
