录音原文:
17.
M: Jack seems to think that this year's basketball season will be disappointing.
W: This is his opinion. Most others think differently.
18.
M: Is this the check-in counter for flight 914 to Los Angeles?
W: Yes, but I'm sorry the flight is delayed because of a minor mechanical problem. Please wait for further notice.
解析:
17. A 关键是要听到女士的第2句话“大多数人跟他的想法不一样”,由此可推出A“她跟杰克的想法不同”,排除D“她跟杰克的想法一样”,另一解题小窍门:四个选项中若有两个选项属于矛盾关系,即语义上相矛盾,二者不能同时为真命题,那么正确答案常常来自由矛盾关系的一组选项之中。
18. D 关键在于抓听but后面的信息“航班推迟了......请等待下一步的通知。”由此可推断航班起飞时间未知,即D“不知航班的离港时间”。A与事实相反;由于航班延误,因此男士并没有错过登机,B不正确;男士的航班号是914,并不是说航班的离港时间是9:14,故C不正确。
