Test 9

Section A

11. W: You've sold your car. You don't need one?

M: Not really. I've never liked driving anyway. Now that we've moved to a place near the subway entrance, we can get about quite conveniently¹.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

正确答案：D

解析：考查推理判断能力。关键在于听到女士说“你把车卖了”，可知男士以前有辆车，故D正确。男士之所以卖掉车是因为never liked driving，而且他现在已经moved to a place near the subway entrance，故A、B都不正确；至于C，对话中没有提到男士开车技术如何。

12.

M: I'm going to drop my Information-science class. It means² too early in the morning.

W: Is that really a good reason to drop the class, Tony?

Q: What does the woman mean?

正确答案：A

解析：Tony打算drop（停修）一门功课，因为要起太早。而女士的反问“这是好理由吗？”说明她不赞成Tony的决定，而是认为Tony应该继续修读信息科学这门课，故A正确而B错误。对话中未提及另外的课程，故C不正确；D中的early in the morning属于原文干扰。
