M: What do you think of the government's new tax cut proposal?
W: Though it may give some benefit to the poor, its key component is the elimination of tax on dividends. That means the rich will get richer.
Q: What does the woman think of the government's tax cut proposal?
正确答案:C
解析:本题正确答案的信息源在女士所说的话中,提醒考生注意的字眼是that means,答案就在此提示词的后面“the rich will get richer”,四个选项当中与此意思相符的只有C,其中the rich就是C中的the wealthy。A属于原文不相干的词的拼凑,B根本未提及,D为原文中divendend和cut的拼凑。

M: Jenny, remember this: a job worth doing at all is worth doing well.
W: Oh, yes, I certainly won't forget it. But don't expect me to stick to the job just because it pays a few more bucks. A life of continued exploration is a life worth living.
Q: What can be inferred about the woman from the conversation?
正确答案:B
解析:这是一个间接推论题,间接推论题无论在听力还是在阅读中,答案一般都出现在but后面,所以只要找到和but后面信息对应的选项就可以了。女士说,但别指望我会一心扑在工作上(But don't expect me to stick to the job...),由此可见C不对;她进一步解释说,“A life of continued exploration is a life worth living.”这与B含义相同。故选B。A是男士的建议,D为无关信息,均不对。
