經典考題:

　　 例1:2010年12月真題

　　 11.[A]The man is the manager of the apartment building.

　　 [B]The woman is very good at bargaining.

　　 [C]The woman will get the apartment refurnished.

　　 [D]The man is looking for an apartment.

　　 原文:W:This is one of our best and least expensive two?bedroom listings.It's located in a quiet building and it's close to bus lines.

　　 M:That may be true.But look at it.It's awful.The paint has peeled off and carpet is worn and the stove is ancient.

　　 Q:What can we infer from the conversation?

　　 答案:D

　　 解析:女士提到該公寓位置和交通上的優(yōu)勢,男士卻說but look at it,it's awful,the paint has peeled off and carpet is worn and the stove is ancient“但是看看這屋子,太糟糕了。漆都脫落了,地毯磨損了,爐子也非常舊”,這說明男士正在挑剔這位女士提供的公寓,由此可知男士正在找公寓。

　　 例2:2002年6月真題

　　 2.[A]The man will probably have to find a roommate.

　　 [B]The man is unlikely to live in the suburbs.

　　 [C]The man will probably have to buy a car.

　　 [D]The man is unlikely to find exactly what he desires.

　　 原文:M:I'm looking for an apartment with a monthly rent of around $200 in this neighborhood.Could you give some advice on that?

　　 W:Well.It's rather hard to find anything for less than $300 around there.Rents are lower in suburbs,but you'll need transportation if you choose to live there.

　　 Q:What do we learn from the conversation?

　　 答案:D

　　 解析:男士希望就在附近小區(qū)找到月租200美元左右的公寓,但是女士說在這附近很難找到月租低于300美元的。郊區(qū)的房租便宜一些,但是如果住在郊區(qū),交通就不那么方便了。也就是說男士恐怕難以找到完全符合他需求的公寓。

　　 例3:2002年12月真題

　　 8.[A]Hang some pictures for decoration.

　　 [B]Find room for the paintings.

　　 [C]Put more coats of paint on the wall.

　　 [D]Paint the walls to match the furniture.

　　 原文:M:How do you like the way I've arranged the furniture in my living room?

　　 W:Fine,but I think the walls could do with a few paintings.

　　 Q:What does the woman suggest the man do?

　　 答案:A

　　 解析:女士的話but后面的內容是答題的關鍵,I think the walls could do with a few paintings就是建議男士可以在墻上掛一些paintings。注意此處painting的意思是“畫”,也就是建議男士掛一些圖畫裝飾墻面,而不是給墻面刷漆,這道題容易錯選D。
