2006年6月17日四级考试B卷参考答案和试卷简评 (2)


5. W: Do you have the seminar schedule with you? I’d like to find out the topic for Friday.
M: I gave it to my friend, but there should be copies available in the library. I can pick one up for you.
Q: What does the man promise to do?
5. A) To pickup the woman from the library.

B) To make a copy of the schedule for his friend.

C) To find out more about the topic for the seminar.

D) To get the seminar schedule for the woman.

这个题目考查了信息指代的连续性,seminar schedule“研讨会日程表”是关键,后面的 “it”, “copies” “one”都指向这一信息。问题就落在“one”上。注:seminar 大学里在教师指导下定期进行讨论的研究班/研讨会。

6 W: I wonder if you could sell me the Psychology textbooks. You took the course last semester, didn’t you?
M: As a matter of fact, I already sold them back to the school bookstore.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
6. A) The woman has to get the textbooks in other ways.

B) The woman has sold her used textbooks to the bookstore.

C) The man is going to buy his textbooks from a bookstore.

D) The man doesn't want to sell his textbooks to the woman.

推理题。原文男的说了书卖回给书店了,也就是不在自己手上了,言外之意就是女士得另想办法。注意,有的同学只听到textbooksbookstore就选了BC,中了偷梁换柱的圈套,这两个错误选项都利用了原文提到的信息,但从整个句子的意思来看却都歪曲了原文。

7. W: Here is this week’s schedule, Tony. On Monday, there is the board meeting. Your speech to the lion’s club is on Tuesday afternoon. Then on Wednesday you have an appointment with your lawyer and…
M: Wait, you mean the business conference on Tuesday is cancelled?
Q: What will the man do this Tuesday?
7. A) Attend a conference. B) Give a speech.

C) Meet his lawyer.       D) Make a business trip.

这个题目与第2题有一点类似,这个要复杂一些,要求记住一堆时间和对应的事件/动作。题目考查的是记忆力,并不牵扯推理技巧。

8. M: Can you believe it? Jessie told her boss he was wrong to have fired his marketing director.
W: Yeah, but you know Jessie. If she has something in mind, everyone will know about it.
Q: What does the woman mean?

8 A) Jessie always says what she thinks.

B) Jessie seems to have a lot on her mind.

C) Jessie is wrong to find fault with her boss.

D) Jessie should know the marketing director better.

该题难度不大。答案是原文第二个人对Jessie的评价进行的改写。“无论她脑子里想什么,大家都会知道。”也就是她向来是直言不讳。
