The Boys School is on the right. The Girls School is straight ahead on this street. Q: Where is the Boys School? 答案为：

26、y take place? 答案为： C 由 tomatoes，water 和 ripe 可知，西红柿是自己种的，还没到成熟的时候。所以应该是在菜园里。选项 B 中的 orchard 意为“果园” ，种植的一般为果树，如： an apple orchard(苹果园 )。 25M: Where are you going，Miss Black? The chairman should be here any minute. W:I wont be far. Look there! “Ladies and Gentlemen”. Q: Where is Miss Black going? 答案为：

Sweden. g(=grew up) 要答对这道题还有一点很关键：听懂问题。题目中的 presently（现在）和答话人话中的 now 是同义词。 28M: Whats all that noise? It sounds as if its coming from next door. The Nelsons arent back yet, are they? W: I dont t
30、hink so. It must be the window-cleaners working upstairs.

37、edcover，please. M: Lets see now. The bedcover is only 10.30 and the curtain is 11.60.

39、used book is 50% discount off its original price and that would be four dollars and forty-five cents. The novel is six dollars, the dictionary fifteen dollars.

41、fifteen 和 fifty 在发音和意义上的区别。 9M: How many students are there in your class? W: There are originally 35 students in my class. But several students are absent today and there are only 14 boys and 15 girls. Q: What can we learn from the conversation? 答案为：C 本组对话的关键是听清今天上课的男生（14 人）与女生（15 人）的人数。原文中提到了全班人数（
42、35 人） ，但是在第二句中表明部分学生缺席。所以，D 项是干扰项。 10M: These airmail envelopes cost 50 cents a dozen. W: A couple of dozen should certainly do. Q: How many envelopes will the man and woman buy? 答案为： B 本组对话中的关键信息是 a couple of dozen；do。 “两打就够了” ，所以正确答案是：他们要买 24 个信封。尽管男士提到了每打信封的价格，但是问题并没有问及这一点。 11W: I wonder if you c

Havent we been informed that the meeting will be postponed half an hour later than schedule？ Q: When was the meeting scheduled for? 答案为： A 本组对话中的关键词是 start in twenty minutes，a quarter
45、to eight，原定计划二十分之后开会，现在是八点差一刻，那么原定开会时间是八点零五分。half an hour 是干扰项，与问题无关。 13M: Did Adam get on his train yesterday? W: No, he missed it. He left at 6 oclock but didnt get to the railway station until 7 oclock and missed his train by 15 minutes because of the traffic jam. Q: What do we learn from the con
46、versation? 答案为：B 该题为细节判断题，需要从众多类似信息（多个表示时间的词）中听清内容，才能选6CET-4 Listening 出正确答案。从对话原文可以得知，Adam 七点钟才到达火车站，由于交通堵塞被耽搁了 15 分钟，而没有赶上火车。所以，火车在 645 发车。 14M: I was in the gas station at 100. How did I miss you? W: I got there at a quarter to 1200 and waited a while. But I guess I left before you got there. Q:
47、When did the woman probably leave the gas station? 答案为： A 女士 1145 到加油站，男士 100 到加油站，而两人没有碰面，显然女士应当是在1145 之后 100 之前离开的，符合要求的选项只有一个。 15W: Mrs. White is very experienced as an English teacher, isnt she?

W: Her husband said she left home at 430; she should be here a
49、t 510, maybe 515 at the latest.

Your tickets and heres 2.40 change. Q: Whats the price of a ticket? 答案为： D 20 买两张票，找零 2.40，说明花去 17.60。问的是单价，所以选 D 项。听本组对话时，要集中精力判别各个数字所代表的意义，并及时地做出记号以表明各个数字之间的关系。如：20p (pay 20.00)，2t (buy 2 tickets)，选项 A 后
