M: Twenty years if you can believe that. I brought it from a small operation to what it is today.

参考译文：

女：你经营这家公司多长时间了？

男：你相信吗，已经20年了。我把公司从一家小公司发展到了现在较大的规模。

问：我们能得知男子的什么信息？

答案解析：

正确答案为B。从对话中可知，男士经营这家公司20年了，而且成功把公司从一家小公司发展到了现在较大的规模。因此可知男子是一名成功的企业家，B项正确。A，他改变了经营策略，对话中男子的公司在发展壮大，未涉及改变经营策略，排除。C，他计划扩张公司规模，对话中提及20年来公司规模一步步壮大，并未涉及男子的计划，排除。D，他20岁接手这家公司，对话中未表明，排除。

M: Have you read the news on the campus net? Susan has won the scholarship for next year.

W: I knew she would from the very beginning. Such a brilliant and diligent girl! She certainly deserves it.

Q: What does the woman mean?

参考译文：

男：你看过校园网站上的消息了吗？苏珊获得了明年的奖学金。

女：一开始我就知道她会获得的。苏珊是个聪明又勤奋的女孩！她当然应该获得奖学金。

问：女子什么意思？

答案解析：

正确答案为D。从对话中可知，女士一直很看好苏珊，觉得她肯定能拿到奖学金。可知，女子对苏珊很有信心，D项正确。A，她没有苏珊聪明，也没有苏珊勤奋，对话中未涉及比较，排除。B，她对这个消息有点惊讶，对话中女子说一开始就知道苏珊肯定会得到奖学金，可见她并不惊讶，因此B项与对话内容不符，排除。C，她并没有看过网站上的消息，对话未表明，女子的话并不是这个意思，排除。
