| 19. A) He prefers the smaller evening classes. | A) 他更喜欢晚上的小班课程。 |
| B) He has signed up for a day course. | B) 他已经报名参加白天课程。 |
| C) He has to work during the day. | C) 他白天上班。 |
| D) He finds the evening course cheaper. | D) 他发现晚上课程更便宜。 |
【听音指导】预览选项，选项A、D讨论evening class，选项B讲述day course，立刻可推测此长对话与课程有关，且该课程有day class和eveningclass之分。从这四个选项暗含的意义推测，男士应偏重于evening class，可初步推测，此题考查男士选择evening class的原因。
【正确项分析】原文中男士明确说明it would have to be anevening course since I work during the day，关键词在于since，正所谓"因果必考"，选项C与原文相符。
| 20. A) Learn a computer language. | A) 学习一门计算机语言。 |
| B) Learn data processing. | B) 学习数据处理。 |
| C) Buy some computer software. | C) 买一些电脑软件。 |
| D) Buy a few course books. | D) 买一些课本。 |
【听音指导】行为动作考查题，根据19题推测，本对话涉及报班，由本题四个选项可知，所报课程与电脑有关，因为前三项均与computer有关。可知选项D与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。本题也为一细节题，在听力过程中，应适时记录相关信息。
【正确项分析】女士先提到了Have you taken any courses indata processing，在其后紧跟着又对其进行了解释data processing is a course you have to take before you can takecomputer programming。对于data processing在对话中重复出现，且与问题相符，故选择B选项。
| 21. A) Thursday evening, from 7:00 to 9:45. | A) 周四晚，7点至9点45分。 |
| B) From September 1 to New Year's eve. | B) 从9月1号至新年前夕。 |
| C) Every Monday, lasting for 12 weeks. | C) 每周一，持续12周。 |
| D) Three hours a week, 45 hours in total. | D) 一星期三小时，总共45小时。 |
【听音指导】由选项即可知本题考查数字的细节题，且考查的数字为持续的时间，初步推测为某一课程所持续的时间。所以如在听力过程中涉及数字都要作笔记，且应注意数字的上下文场景。
【正确项分析】对该问题的回答，信息较分散，最初提到了every Monday, from 7 to 9:45。接下来在let me see停顿之后出现答案12 weeks，from September 1 to Christmas eve. 整合以上信息，应选C。
【干扰项分析】选项A错在Thursdayevening，原文中明确给出应该是Monday evening。选项B中的New Year's eve也是偷梁换柱，应为Christmas eve。选项D涉及小计算，每晚3小时，持续12周，应大约总共36小时才正确。
| 22. A) What to bring for registration. | A) 登记时需要带什么。 |
| B) Where to attend the class. | B) 到哪里去上课。 |
| C) How he can get to Frost Hall. | C) 去弗罗斯特大厅怎么走。 |
| D) Whether he can use a check. | D) 他是否能用支票。 |
【听音指导】根据"前二后二必考"原则，本题又为本对话的最后一题，此题必在文章后面出题。由四选项的形式可初步推测，本题考查的是问题的内容。
【正确项分析】本题的问题直截了当，在原文中男士给出了明确的提问，Is thereanything that I should bring with me? 与选项A同义。
【干扰项分析】许多考生按照常理或主观臆测选定选项B，此项在原文中恰恰没有提到。原文中男士也明确表明I know how to get there，选项C是多余的。文中虽提到checkbook，是女士对男士问题的回答，而非男士的发问，故排除。
