答案

17.D) The woman is going to make her topic more focused.

男：你说的很对，不过我觉得你需要把研究的课题范围再缩小一些。

女：是的。我在写研究课题的时候总是会先选择两个范围很大的主题。

问：从这段对话中我们能了解到什么？

答：男的说女的“上路了，方法对，没离体”，女的同意，还说自己会选择两个内容宽泛的主题，最后两个单词是这个对话的重点，只要听到 research paper 研究报告。就可以知道话题的主要内容。

18.B) They didn’t quite enjoy their last picnic.

女：这次野炊比上一次要好得多，是不是？

男：是的，上一次我们不得不呆在帐篷内，这一次老天太给面子了，天气正好。

问：从对话中我们能了解到什么？

答：听力中的beat 很容易听成be ，这样就无法正确理解对话内容了。男的所说话中的重点是"weather cooperation"天气很合作，也就是说这一次天气很好，很适合野炊，相比较来说，上一次“不得不呆在帐篷里”，必然会很不爽。
