moreinterest),因此对于银行储户会有好处,故选D项。

C项的“低收入工人”在新闻中未提及。

Whatstherelationshipbetweenthetwospeakers?
[解析]场景推理题。
题目询问两个对话者是什么关系。
对话开头女士没拿定主意吃什么,希望男士提些建议,很多考生以为男士是服务员,因此选择代也有人因为后文出现getpromoted和myboss等用语,错选D。
从全文来看,特别是男士说“friendsarefriends”,可知答案是B。
A.Themandoesherafavor.
B.Themanrecommendshermanygoodfoods.
C.Themanisverypatienttoherquestion.
D.Themandecidestotreathertoameal.V
解析:
[听力原文]
Whydoesthewomanthinkthemaniskind?
[解析]由选项知,本题将问及男士为女士做了什么事。
各选项主语都是“theman,而宾语都与“她”相关。
A项对话
中并未提及,可以排除;B项和C项虽然是事实但却并非原因,故也可排除。
对话中,女士觉得饭店的东西很贵,但男士让她想吃什么就点什么,这才是答案所在,故选D
A.TherewerenotmanyChineserestaurantsbefore.V
B.Manypeopleemigratedoutofhiscountry.
C.Itisfamousforthedifferentrecipes.
D.Itpreventsforeignlanguagesfromgettingin.
解析:
[听力原文]
Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrueaboutthemanscountry?
[解析]推理题。
在对话中,男士谈到他们国家有来自世界各地的人,他们带来不同的语言和烹饪方法。
C项中的famous与对话无关,BD两项与事实相悖。
之后他提到现在连(even)中国饭店也有很多了,即以前没有很多,因此A项正确。
A.Hecannotunderstandwhyshealwaysspeaksnonsense.
B.Hedoesnotthinkthewomanknowshowtoenjoyherself.
C.Hebelievesthewomaniscapableofbeingpromotedsoon.V
D.HehatestochoosebetweenChinesecuisineandFrenchcuisine.
解析:
[听力原文]
Whatdoesthemanthinkofthewoman?
[解析]四个选项主语都是He谓语动词都表示心理情态动作,而宾语部分与“她”有关,故可推测,本题问男士对女士的看法。
男士虽然没直接说过C项中的内容,但根据他说“不久就会再次一起吃饭”的预两项均与原文BAoC测,
可以看出他非常相信女士的工作能力,因为女士许诺升迁了也要请客,答案为
不符。
题目询问的是男士对女士的看法,而D项描述的只是男士自己的喜恶情况,纯属答非所问,故D错误。
