听力文本及答案解析:

6.W: Bob , are you going straight home after school today

M: No, I have a class until one o’clock, and after that I’m going to spend a couple of hours at the library before going home.

Q: When is Bob going home this afternoon?

答案：B

分析：本题是一道时间计算题，这类题目大家应该学会适当快速的记些笔记。以此题为例我们可以记 1：00 C +2h L （即 1：00上完课，去图书馆2小时）如果能记下这些信息那么答案自然就出来了B around 3:00。此处的a couple of 是双,对也就是二的意思，请大家记一下。。

7. 

M: If the traffic wasn’t so bad , I could have been home by 6:00

W: What a pity! John was here to see you

Q: What happened to the man

答案：B

分析：根据选项我们知道，该题主要是针对这个男生提问的。故男生是对话的主角。男生在这里用了一句条件虚拟句。“如果交通状况不是那么糟的话，我可以在6：00到家的”言下之意，由于交通的原因他没能在6：00到家，和B项的held up in traffic是比较完美的同意对应。A C项纯属主观臆断，D项特地用了一个“traffic”但说得却是traffic accident属于无中生有的迷惑项。

8. 

M: Hello , may I speak to John Smith ,please

W: I am sorry, nobody by that name works⁵ here

Q: what do we learn from this conversation

答案：D

分析：如果大家熟悉打电话的场景，那么这个短对话应该是非常简单的。这个女人说没有叫这个名字的人在这里工作，言下之意，男人打错了电话。题目不难，但我们借此来记一些打电话常景中经常遇到的词汇和短语：dial³ （拨电话号码） / press （按电话号码）/ wrong number there is no one by this name 电话号码错了/ hold on 不要挂断，稍等 / take（leave）a message 留言/ sb is not in 某人不在 / hang up get off 挂断 。

9. 

M: Have you seen my brother

W: No, I haven’t seen him since the day before yesterday

Q: When did she last seen the man’s brother

答案：C

分析：这道题应该都做对了吧，初中的词汇和句型。the day before yesterday 前天

10. 

M: Nancy , why were you late today

W: I overslept and missed the bus

Q: Why was Nancy late

答案：A 

分析：这一题根据选项我们就可以大致推断这个女人迟到了，关键是她迟到的原因是什么？对话中的overslept 和A选项中的 got up later 是比较完美的同义对应。略微具有迷惑性的是B选项。如果没有听清这个overslept很可能就会选这个。但对话中说的是missed the bus 而并非the bus was late 。再说直接听到的一般我们也是不选的，此处就是明显的偷换概念。
