Questions 4 to 6 are based on the following conversation. At the end of the conversation, you will be given 15 seconds to answer the questions. (TEM-2011)
Now, listen to the conversation.

6. Sue Green seems to be more interested in John's experience of A. working in a paper factory B. working in a youth club.
C. looking after his brother and sister D. looking after his young friends.
解析:
1. M: I went to the Manchester University and got an engineering degree, with water management as my
specialization. 由划线部分可知Mr. Robinson的专业是water management，因此第一题选择C. 2. M: No, no. My university had links with an Indian Engineering University. So it was organized at that level.
Mr. Robinson为印度政府工作是因为他的大学和印度的一所工程大学有联系，固第二题选择A. 3. M: No. It was a three-year water irrigation project. ……
M: Ah, I’ m working in water irrigation again, this time as a project researcher assistant. 听到again和this
time, 可推断出第三题选C.
4. M: Yes, I had a job in a paper factory for a few months after I left school. Then I worked in the summer holidays in the university, first in a fastfood restaurant, then in a book shop. 只有学校没有被提到，因此第四题选择C.
5. M: Interests? Well, I like traveling. I play a lot of sports and I play the piano. 由划线部分可知他的兴趣爱
好不少，第五题选择D.
6. W: A youth club? 此处疑问语气，表示感兴趣，好奇。第六题选择B.
场景二：校园

试题演练：

C．To spend more time on English． D．To stop attending language classes．
解析:
1. W: Oh, good! How did you get here? M: My brother took me to the railway station, and I got a bus at this end. 因此第一题选择C.
2. W: Bern, Bern, ah, yes, oh, you've changed since this photo. What happened to your beard and moustache? And you're not wearing glasses, either. 只有short hair没有被提到，因此第二题选择A.
3. W: 5:30 in the Common Room on the ground floor at the other end of the corridor. 信息点直接给出，第三
题选择B.
4. W: Well, it’s not going too well. I’m not really enjoying the course and, well, I’m not very happy. W: Oh, there is so much work. I thought that to do two languages with management studies will be very
useful. But I find the management course very difficult sometimes and in the study of English and German, too. It means I’m working all the time and I never have time to relax. 经过结合两处画线部分，可知Mary学习压力大，没有放松的时间，所以感觉不开心，因此第四题选择D.
5. W: Oh, there is so much work. I thought that to do two languages with management studies will be very useful. Mary认为双语课程有用处，因此第五题选择A.
6. W: Not really. I mean the other students on my course are living in a student dormitory. So they see each
other all the time. I’m living in a rented room in a family house. I eat breakfast and dinner with the family, but I get lonely in the evening and at weekends. M: So making friends is a problem, too. W: Yes. 由画线部分可推断出Mary没有机会去结交朋友，因此第六题选择C.
7. M: So I’d like you to go and see your German tutor, and say that you are going to stop attending German classes for the moment. W: OK.
M: Next, I think you should go to each of the five student dormitories. Choose the one you like best and ask if you could move in there. Students are always moving in and out, so there shouldn’t be a problem. 由第一个画线部分得知，Mr. Davies 只是建议暂停德语课程，而不是停止所有语言课程，所以D错误，A和C在对话中并未提及，可排除，第二个画线部分表示，Mr. Davies建议Mary住进学生宿舍，也就是换一个住宿环境，所以，选项B. To try to change accommodation正确。
