W: Wow, I do like this campus. All the big trees, the green lawns, and the old buildings with tall columns. It's really beautiful.

M: It sure is. The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style. It was popular in the 18th century here.

Q: What are the speakers talking about?

参考译文：

女：哇，我真的很喜欢这所校园。所有的大树，绿草坪，还有那些有高高的柱子的老建筑。真是太漂亮了。

男：的确是这样。这些建筑的构造是希腊风格。在18世纪的时候非常流行。

问：说话者在谈论什么？

答案解析：

正确答案为C。对话中女子说到她非常喜欢这个校园。然后说到了校园里的树，草坪和建筑。男子顺着女子的话继续谈了学校里的建筑。因此可知，二人在谈论大学校园，C项正确。A，一座艺术博物馆，B，一个美丽的公园，D，一个建筑展览，均与对话内容不符，排除。

M: This article is nothing but advertising² for housing developers. I don't think the houses for sale are half that good.

W: Come on, David. Why so negative? We are thinking of buying a home, aren't we? Just a trip to look at the place won't cost us much.

Q: What can be inferred form the conversation?

参考译文：

男：这篇文章只是住房开发商的广告。我认为在售的房屋没有所说的一半好。

女：得了吧，大卫。为什么这么消极呢？我们正考虑买房子呢，不是吗？就去那里看看花不了我们什么的。

问：我们能从对话中推论出什么？

答案解析：

正确答案为D。对话中得知，男子看到了房屋开发商的广告，他认为那些房子没有广告里说的一半好，女子则说男子太消极了，认为去看看也无妨，可以推断出男子并不想去看房子，因此D项正确，男子不愿意去看在售的房屋。A,在售的房屋质量很差，对话中未提及，排除。B，房子太贵了，这对夫妻买不起。对话中不涉及是否买得起房子的问题，排除。C，房屋开发商为潜在客户提供了免费旅行，与对话内容不符，排除。
