Q.1- A. He was enjoying his holiday.
- B. He was recovering in hospital.
- C. He was busy writing his essays.
- D. He was fighting a throat infection.
解析
解析:问题为What did Sarah think David was doing for the last 2 weeks? 萨拉认为大卫在过去的两个星期里在做什么?原文开头,女士就说到I haven't seen you in class for almost 2 weeks. 已有将近两个星期没有看见你了,随后又说We thought you had disappeared on holiday earlier or something. 她以为大卫去度假了。A项“他在享受假期”相符。B、C项与原文意思无关。D项“他在和喉咙感染斗争”是大卫实际做的事,而并非萨拉认为的事,因此不符。本题选A。考察细节辨认,需要大家将题干和文意理解清晰。
Q.2- A. He broke his wrist.
- B. He lost his antibiotics.
- C. He slipped on ice and fell.
- D. He was laughed at by some girls.
解析
解析:问题为What happened to David on his way back from the hospital? 在大卫从医院回来的路上发生了什么?来继续听原文,之后男士说And on the way back from the hospital, I slipped on some ice and fell,从医院回来的路上他在冰上滑倒了。...because I basically thought I broke my wrist, although, thankfully, it's not broken. 他判定手腕摔断了,不过幸好没断,排除A项。B项为无关项;C项意思相符;D项同样也是无关项。本题选C,也考察细节辨认。
Q.3- A. Turn to her father for help.
- B. Call the repair shop to fix it.
- C. Ask the manufacture for repairs.
- D. Replace it with a brand-new ones.
解析
解析:问题为What does Sarah say they should do with the damaged computer? 萨拉说他们应该如何处理损坏的电脑?在原文相关的部分,萨拉先提到Is the laptop still under warranty? If it is, then you can easily send it back to the manufacturer... 指电脑如果在保修期内可以将其寄回给制造商换一个全新的。而之后男士说The warranty ran out 3 days before I broke it. 保修期已过,因此以上做法无效。观察四个选项,排除C、D项,它们不成立。答案在A、B中,继续听原文,女士又说Listen, I have the number of a really good, affordable computer repair shop at home. My dad has used this guy before and he can work miracles. 萨拉那有一家非常好的、价格合理的电脑维修店的电话,她爸爸以前就去过。大卫表示同意。因此正确答案为B。本题考查大家细节辨认以及文意推断的能力。
Q.4- A. Help David retrieve his essays.
- B. Introduce David to her parents.
- C. Offer David some refreshments.
- D. Accompany David to his home.
解析
解析:问题为What does Sarah say she is going to do? 萨拉说她要做什么?在末尾,女士提到And you can have some tea and cookies, too...Let me just call my mom and let her know. I'll be home a little bit later. 根据这些信息点,可排除A、B、D项,均与文意不符。C项当中的refreshment这个词可能会感到有些陌生,在这种情况可善用选项排除法来确定恰当答案。refreshment指茶点,点心,与原文的tea and cookies(茶和曲奇饼干)相符,为同义替换。正确答案为C。本题同样考查大家细节辨认及推断的能力,需要在细节辨认之上多走一步,理解选项中的同义替换。

So according to Coca-Cola historian Ted Ryan, the company decided to come up with packaging that couldn't be duplicated. 它面临着越来越多的竞争对手,假冒伪劣产品甚至试图复制可口可乐的标志。因此,它决定弄一款无法复制的包装。对比四个选项,A、B、D项都与文意无关,只有C项“以打击假冒产品”符合文意,选C。本题考查细节推断。

Though cocoa seed is not an ingredient of the soda, they designed their bottle based on the seeds' shape and large middle. 可知他们的设计依据了可可种子的形状及其内部。来看四个选项只有B项说到了“可可种子形状”的关键词,其他三项均不符合文意,因此本题选B。同样也是考查细节辨认。
