1.

M: Hurry, there's a bus coming.

W: Why run? There will be another one in two or three minutes.

2.

M: Wow, that's a big assignment we've got for the English class.

W: Well, it's not as bad as it looks. It isn't due until Thursday morning.

解析：

1. A 关键在于听明白another one中的one代替的是前面的bus,两三分钟后还会来一辆公交车。Why do sth. 是不主张做某事的表达。B，C均与对话内容无关；D项错在this,应该是the next。

2. D 关键在于听懂比较结构not as bad as it looks"不想看上去那么糟"以及not due until"直到......才到期"。说明作业不难，而且时间充裕，因此选D。A正好把难度颠倒；B中的too difficult也不对；作业的上缴日期截止到星期四，但这并不等于C“他们直到截止日才能完成”，故C不正确。
