Questions19to21arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.
19.Whereistheconversationmostprobablytakingplace
【解析】选[A]。分析选项发现四个选项均是由表示方位的介宾短语“in+名词”构成,表明本题考查的是对地点的判断,我们可以根据行为活动和代表性的词语来判断地点。对话一开始女士的buythatbook即表明对话发生在书店内。而图书馆一般与借书、还书有关。
20.Whichclassarethemanandthewomantakingtogether
【解析】选[C]。四个选项的内容在录音中都有提及,关键是听清题目问的是男士和女士一起讨论的是什么课。回忆女士所说的inthesameclass和IntroductiontoEnglishLiterature以及男士的肯定回答Yes可以得出答案。
21.WhatdoesthemanthinkaboutProfessorRobert
【解析】选[D]。根据[B]、[C]、[D]可以推断He指的是一个老师或者教授。录音中提到了ProfessorRobert,女士说ProfessorRobertreallyseemstoknowhissubject,男士肯定了女士的说法,说ProfessorRobert的课verygood并且喜欢listeningtohisstudents,由此可以判断ProfessorRobert是一个优秀的教授。

22.Whatarethespeakersdiscussing
【解析】选[B]。对话围绕着交下一年的宿舍押金展开,接着女士说她在考虑搬出校园,由此引发了两人的讨论,因此整个对话主要是对话双方讨论下一年在哪居住的问题,因此答案选[B]。
23.Whatmustapersondoinordertoliveinauniversityhouse
【解析】选[A]。对话中男士说You’dbetterhurryupifyouwantaroomnextSeptember,而从前面的对话内容(makemydomp3itorydepositfornextyear)可知男士说的hurryup指的是赶紧去交domp3itorydeposit,由此可知如果要住学校的房子,就要付一些钱给housingoffice,故选[A]。
24.Wheredothetwospeakerslivenow
【解析】选[A]。从对话最后两人谈到在宿舍学习时的情况和住宿舍可以省钱可以判断两人现在都住宿舍,只是女士想搬出宿舍住。
