　　答案解析 ——————————————————————————

　　1.听力原文：W: I bought this 2000-dollar computer at a 20% discount.

　　M: It's real bargain, and its performance is excellent.

　　正确答案：B

　　解题思路：关键是 at 20% discount, 意思是以8折购买了这台电脑。因此是1600 dollars。

　　2.听力原文：M: It's 30 cents for a cup of coffee, Madam.

　　W: I'll get three, please. Here is $2.

　　正确答案：A

　　解题思路：每杯咖啡30美分，一共要了3杯咖啡。问题问的是找头多少，即2 - 0.9 = 1.1。这道题目计算相对有些复杂，又含有单位的换算。

　　3.听力原文：W: This book is $4 and the blue one is a dollar more.

　　M: The red one is twice as much as the blue one.

　　正确答案：D

　　解题思路：蓝色的书是 4 + 1 = 5 美元，红色的书是蓝色的书的两倍，所以是10美元。

　　4.听力原文：M: I'll take three bottles. Are they worth fifty cents each?

　　W: These two bottles are, but the third one is 75 cents.

　　正确答案：A

　　解题思路：两只瓶子各50美分，另一只是75美分，一共是1.75美元。

　　5.听力原文：M: Hi, Mary, finally you came. Why did you come so late?

　　W: I don't know, I thought I knew the way well though. I drove 23 miles one way, then 8 more before I had to ask for help.

　　正确答案：B

　　解题思路：关键词是then，说明后来又开了8英里，加起来共31英里。

　　6.听力原文：W: Does your class start at 8 : 00 every morning?

　　M: No. On Wednesday it doesn't start until 8 : 30 and on Friday not until 9 : 00.

　　正确答案：A

　　解题思路：女士问，是不是每天都8点开始上课;男士说，不是，并补充说星期三8：30开始，星期五9：00开始。但问题问的是：星期四几点开始上课。那么应该是8点开始。

　　7.听力原文：M: I wonder if you could tell me when the last train from California is due to arrive?

　　W: At a quarter past seven p. m. You have to wait for 10 minutes.

　　正确答案：C

　　解题思路：女士说，火车七点一刻到，你还得再等10分钟。说明现在是7：05。

　　8.听力原文：W: Have you decided when you are going to take your vacation?

　　M: No, I haven't. I might take it in April, but then again I might wait until October. I'm not at all sure yet.

　　正确答案：A

　　解题思路：对话中提到两个月份，但更重要的还是男士说 "No, I haven't 和 "I'm not at all sure yet"。

　　9.听力原文：M: Do you know when this earthquake happened?

　　W: Yes. On the morning of the 30th of Dec. 1966.

　　正确答案：D

　　解题思路：此题容易，但需要分清是 thirteenth 还是 thirtieth。

　　10.听力原文：W: I hear your son has started a part-time job at the gas station?

　　M: Yes. He works from 4 to 9 on Fridays and 1 to 10 on Saturdays and Sundays.

　　正确答案： B

　　解题思路： 这是数字运算题中最难的题型了，要进行迅速的加减法和乘法运算。 (9-4) + (10-1) x 2 = 23。
