　Part III Listening Comprehension
　　Section A
　　11.
　　M: I’d like to go camping with you this weekend, but I don’t have a sleeping bag.
　　W: No problem. You can count on me to get one for you. My family has tons of camping gear.
　　Q: What does the woman mean?
　　答案：She can lend the man a sleeping bag.
　　【解析】这是一道较为简单的推理题，前提是考生需知道camping gear表示“野餐用具，露营装备”，由此可知，camping gear包括sleeping bag，即女士能借给男士一个睡袋，此题的设置稍微绕了个小弯，为考生解题设置了一定难度。go camping：去野餐，去露营；sleeping bag：睡袋。
　　12.
　　M: I know I promise to drive you to the airport next Thursday, but I’m afraid something has come up. They’ve called a special meeting at work.
　　W: No big deal. Karen said she was available as a back-up.
　　Q: What does the woman mean?
　　答案: Karen can take her to the airport.
　　【解析】此题为细节题。从对话中可知，男士下周四临时有事不能送女士去机场了，女士回答说Karen有空。back-up：n. 备用，备份，考生如果知道这个单词的意思，对整个对话的理解会有帮助。
　　13.
　　W: Have you saved enough money for a trip to Hawaii?
　　M: Not even close. My uncle must put the brakes on my travelling plans.
　　Q: What does the man mean?
　　答案：He can’t afford to go traveling yet.
　　【解析】此题为推理题。从男士的回答“我叔叔对我的旅行计划加以限制了。”中可推断出，这位男士还没有足够的钱去旅行。put the brakes on sth.表示“对……加以限制”，即使考生不知道这个短语的引申含义，但听到brake“刹车”应该也能大概判断出来答案。
　　14.
　　M: I’m starving. Do we still have any pie left from the dinner yesterday?
　　W: Oh, Julia invited her friends over in the afternoon and they ate it all.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
　　答案：The man has to find something else to eat.
　　【解析】此题为简单的推理题。从对话中可知，女士回答说Julie下午邀请了她的朋友，他们把剩的饼都吃光了，由此可推断出这位男士不得不找别的东西吃。starving：adj. 饥饿的。
　　15.
　　W: Three letters of recommendation are required to apply to graduate schools. I was wondering if the one professor Smith wrote for me last year could still be used.
　　M: It’s a bit dated. You’d better submit a recent one.
　　Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
　　答案：Present a new letter of reference.
　　【解析】此题为细节题。只要考生抓住这位男士回答中的关键词dated和recent，就不难找出正确答案，而且，整个答句也很短，均是简单句，易于考生理解。letter of recommendation和letter of reference意思相似，均可表示“推荐信”。
　　16.
　　W: I’ve noticed that you spend a lot of time tending your garden. Would you like to join our gardening club? We meet every other Wednesday.
　　M: Oh, thanks for the invitation, but this is how I relax. I’d rather not make it something formal and structured.
　　Q: What can we infer about the man?
　　答案：He declines to join the gardening club.
　　【解析】此题为暗示推理题，有一定难度。抓住问题中的关键词“infer”，这位男士暗示了什么？从男士的回答“谢谢邀请，但这是我放松的方式，我宁愿我的花园不那么条条框框”中可推断出，这位男士间接拒绝了参加园艺俱乐部的邀请。
