W: Did you turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors?
M: Yes, I told the Johnsons' we'd be gone for two weeks. They promise to keep an eye on the house for us.
Q: What are the two speakers going to do?
正确答案：A
解析：本题解题的关键在于听清楚男士“we'd be gone for two weeks”这一重要信息。其余的信息“turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors”以及“keep an eye on the house for us”都是在加强这一信息，所以正确答案为A，其中a couple of这个短语在听力中频频考查，往往与two呼应。B用原文中的部分信息check the locks进行干扰，C似乎是对keep an eye on the house的解释，但人称颠倒了，D为夸大事实。此外，固定习语keep an eye on（留心）也是需要掌握的。

M: Hurry up, Linda! I hear that there aren't many tickets left for the football match.
W: I am ready now. Let's go. It's the early bird that catches the worm.
Q: Why did the man ask the woman to hurry up?
正确答案：C
解析：本题中要听清男士的话“there aren't many tickets left for the football match”，那么只有C意思相符。同时，女士的话中出现了谚语“It's the early bird that catches the worm”，意为“早起的鸟儿有虫吃；先到者先得”。这其实也加强了男士的话的含义。A是在用warm进行近音干扰；B与原文毫不相干；D是利用原文中的单词重新编排构成音近/同音陷阱，game bird意为“猎鸟”。
