W: I suppose I should relax and lay down on the beach of some exotic island, enjoying the beautiful sunset right now. I just can't stop imagining that happy moment!
M: If only you hadn't spent so much on your new house.
Q: What does the man mean?
正确答案:B
解析:女士说想要去海滩旅行,男士说,要是你没有在新房子上花这么多(钱)就好了,言下之意,她本来应该存足够的钱去旅行。故答案是B。从选项可知,问题与建议女士做何事有关。男士话语矛头直接指向钱,与钱无关的选项都可以直接排除。

W: Congratulations! You are the project manager now. So how is your project going?
M: Oh, I can't expect it better. Virtually all the members were in agreement with the proposal yesterday. I think we can carry it out shortly if everything goes well.
Q: What does the man mean about his team members?
正确答案:C
解析:女士问男士项目的进行情况,男士说昨天所有人都同意了项目计划书的内容。故答案是C。选项预测可知,问题可能问“他们”的行动,注意听“他们”指什么人。看到有“agree”的选项就要打起精神了,那正是原文内容“in agreement with”的同义替换。
