　　Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension

　　Section A

　　11. M: Why don't you come to our home for dinner some time this week? I have practiced to improve my cooking.

　　W: I'd like to, but we have visitors from Finland, perhaps next week.

　　Q: Why can't the woman accept the man's invitation?

　　【解析】B)。四個選項都是關(guān)于女士，由此暗示對話當(dāng)中應(yīng)該更加重視與女士有關(guān)的部分。男士邀請女士去他家吃晚飯(come to our home for dinner)，女士說這個星期有芬蘭來的客人(visitors from Finland)要招待，可能要下個星期去。因為女士這個星期有客人，所以女士不能接受男士的邀請。故正確答案為B)。

　　12. M: I hope I won't oversleep. I've simply got to catch the first flight to New York.

　　W: If I were you, I'd request the wake-up call from the hotel reception.

　　Q: What does the woman advise the man do?

　　【解析】D)。四個選項都是不定式，由此可以推斷，本題的內(nèi)容可能是目的或者動作。 女士說，如果我是你(If I were you)，就會要旅店提供叫醒電話(wake-up call)。由此可見，女士建議男士ask for a wake-up call，正確答案為D)。

　　13. M: I really had a busy week. I want to get some rest. I always enjoy a nap on Saturday afternoon.

　　W: I don't think you can. Mr. Smith has just parked his car at the door, and he is coming up now.

　　Q: What can we learn from this conversation?

　　【解析】B)。四個選項都更側(cè)重男士方面，由此暗示對話當(dāng)中應(yīng)該更加注意與男士相關(guān)的部分。 男士一般都在星期六下午睡個午覺(enjoy a long siesta on Saturday afternoon)，但女士說Mr. Smith已經(jīng)在門口停車，馬上就來了(parked his car at the door，he is coming up)。由此可以推斷，男士今天不能睡午覺了(won't be able to enjoy a nap)。故正確答案為B)。
