答案解析 ——————————————————————————
1.听力原文：W: I bought this 2000-dollar computer at a 20% discount.
M: It's real bargain, and its performance is excellent.
正确答案：B
解题思路：关键是 at 20% discount, 意思是以8折购买了这台电脑。因此是1600 dollars。
2.听力原文：M: It's 30 cents for a cup of coffee, Madam.
W: I'll get three, please. Here is $2.
正确答案：A
解题思路：每杯咖啡30美分，一共要了3杯咖啡。问题问的是找头多少，即2 - 0.9 = 1.1。这道题目计算相对有些复杂，又含有单位的换算。
3.听力原文：W: This book is $4 and the blue one is a dollar more.
M: The red one is twice as much as the blue one.
正确答案：D
解题思路：蓝色的书是 4 + 1 = 5 美元，红色的书是蓝色的书的两倍，所以是10美元。
4.听力原文：M: I'll take three bottles. Are they worth fifty cents each?
W: These two bottles are, but the third one is 75 cents.
正确答案：A
解题思路：两只瓶子各50美分，另一只是75美分，一共是1.75美元。
5.听力原文：M: Hi, Mary, finally you came. Why did you come so late?
W: I don't know, I thought I knew the way well though. I drove 23 miles one way, then 8 more before I had to ask for help.
正确答案：B
解题思路：关键词是then，说明后来又开了8英里，加起来共31英里。
6.听力原文：W: Does your class start at 8 : 00 every morning?
M: No. On Wednesday it doesn't start until 8 : 30 and on Friday not until 9 : 00.
正确答案：A
解题思路：女士问，是不是每天都8点开始上课;男士说，不是，并补充说星期三8：30开始，星期五9：00开始。但问题问的是：星期四几点开始上课。那么应该是8点开始。
7.听力原文：M: I wonder if you could tell me when the last train from California is due to arrive?
W: At a quarter past seven p. m. You have to wait for 10 minutes.
正确答案：C
解题思路：女士说，火车七点一刻到，你还得再等10分钟。说明现在是7：05。
8.听力原文：W: Have you decided when you are going to take your vacation?
M: No, I haven't. I might take it in April, but then again I might wait until October. I'm not at all sure yet.
正确答案：A
解题思路：对话中提到两个月份，但更重要的还是男士说 "No, I haven't 和 "I'm not at all sure yet"。
9.听力原文：M: Do you know when this earthquake happened?
W: Yes. On the morning of the 30th of Dec. 1966.
正确答案：D
解题思路：此题容易，但需要分清是 thirteenth 还是 thirtieth。
10.听力原文：W: I hear your son has started a part-time job at the gas station?
M: Yes. He works from 4 to 9 on Fridays and 1 to 10 on Saturdays and Sundays.
正确答案： B
解题思路： 这是数字运算题中最难的题型了，要进行迅速的加减法和乘法运算。 (9-4) + (10-1) x 2 = 23。
