Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

参考译文：

女：昨天下了暴风雨。我多担心我回不了家啊。

男：是啊，通往我家的大部分道路都被水淹了。我直到午夜才从实验室回家。

问：我们能从对话中得知什么信息？

答案解析：

正确答案为B。从对话中可知，昨天有暴风雨，女士担心自己回不了家，男士直到半夜才回家。因此B项正确，男子因暴风雨回家晚了。A，暴风雨一直持续到半夜，对话中并未表明，排除。C，男子一直整夜都待在实验室里，对话中男子是半夜回家的，并不是一整夜都待在实验室，因此C项与对话内容不符，排除。D，所有的道路因为被淹而关闭，对话中并未涉及道路关闭，因此D项不符，排除。

18.

W: My boys are always complaining²⁰ that they're bored.

M: Why don't you get them into some team sports? My son and daughter play soccer every Saturday. And they both look forward²¹ to it all week.

Q: What does the man mean?

参考译文：

女：我儿子们总是抱怨他们很无聊。

男：你为什么不让他们参加一些团队体育项目呢？我儿子和女儿每周六都踢足球。他们一整周都期待着去踢足球。

问：男子什么意思？

答案解析：

正确答案为A。从对话中可知，男士建议女士可以让自己的儿子们参加一些团队运动，这样他们就不会觉得无聊了。因此可知，男子的意思是，女子的儿子们可能会享受团队精神，A项正确。B，女子的孩子们可以和他儿子一起踢足球，对话中男子只是用自己的孩子来举例，并没有限定足球一项运动，只是建议参加团队体育项目，因此B项与对话内容不符，排除。C，孩子们应该至少一周运动一次，对话中男子无此意，排除。D，许多孩子在独处的时候都会感到无聊，对话中男子无此意，排除。
