就像作业一样，考试也是学生往往无奈的话题之一，学生会喜欢考试吗？毫无疑问不喜欢，考试会容易吗？问问学生自己就知道了，总是觉得考试很棘手。通过都往往很困难，更别提得高分了。

典型题目：

Test 10 no 3

W: How did you do on the maths exam, John?

M: I barely made it. It was just a passing score but better than I had expected。

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

A) John didn't pass, although he had tried his best。

B) John did better than he thought he was able to。

C) John got an excellent score, which was unexpected。

D) John was disappointed at his maths score。

解析：这是一个典型的考试总是很难场景，在对话中女生说：你数学考试怎么样？男生回答：做的很差，刚及格但是比我预想的好。因此答案选＜B＞，值得一提的是I barely made it表示我勉强通过的意思。

4、订房订票总是定不上

在听力的小对话中总是有一些不尽如人意的情况发生，只要留心就会发现处处体现出来“sorry”(遗憾)的情形。比如订房订票无论在四级还是在六级里面总是买不到，定不上。

典型题目：

Test 2 no 8

M: I'd like to make two reservations on Flight 651 for June 8th。

W: I'm sorry, we're booked up on the 8th. But we still have a few seats available on the 9th。

Q: When does the man want to leave?

A) On the 6th of June。

B) On the 8th of June。

C) On the 9th of June。

D) On the 19th of June。

解析：这是一个典型的订房订票订不上场景，在对话中男生说：我想预定6月8号651航班 ，女生回答：对不起，我们8号的航班定完了，但是我们还有9号的。因此答案选＜B＞

5、男生对于比赛(如足球赛等)永远狂热

从任何一个学生的角度去考虑这都是一个非常正常的思维，在听力小对话里面出现的比赛总会受到男生极大的关注。如果比赛和其他活动(比如concert)冲突，男生一定会选择看比赛，如果比赛没有看成，则有可能是生病了。

典型题目：

Test 1 no 7

W: Did you watch the game last night?

M: I wouldn't have missed it for anything!

Q: Did the man watch the game last night?

A) No, he missed it。

B) Yes, he did。

C) No, he didn't。

D) Yes, he probably did。

解析：这是一个典型的男生对比赛狂热的场景，在对话中女生说：昨晚你看比赛了？ 男生回答：不论有什么事我也不会错过它的。因此答案选＜B＞，值得一提的是男生的回答。
