1.【答案】C
【解析】根据对话者双方的身份,可以得知这是医生和患者之间的对话。此处是患者在向医生描述自己的病情:鼻子堵塞(stuffy nose),嗓子疼(sore throat)和一直咳嗽(coughing a lot)。C项Boy, when it rains, it pours. 是个习语,意为“不下雨则已,一下则大雨倾盆”,此处的Boy是一个感叹词,患者想表达的是“唉,真是不病则已,一病就很严重”。
2.【答案】A
【解析】医生在询问完患者的情况后,做出了判断:It sounds like a flu.“听上去像是流感”,且后半句:It’s been going around lately.“最近流感正在传播”,这里的it指代前面的flu,弄清楚it指代的内容就不难得出选项了,因此选A。
3.【答案】B
【解析】医生根据患者的情况检查确诊后,给患者开了药方(prescribe some medicines),并同时给出了一些建议。空格后患者问到是不是不该上班了,可以推断出此处医生建议“休息”。因此选B。
【参考译文】
医生:感觉怎么了?
病人:我鼻子堵塞,嗓子疼,而且一直咳嗽得厉害。唉,真是要么不生病,一病就不轻。
医生:胃疼吗?
病人:还真有些疼。这几天胃一直都不舒服。
医生:听上去像是流感,最近流感很盛行。
病人:那我该怎么做?
医生:我给你开些药,也建议你休息几天。
病人:那我是不是不上班了?
医生:你觉得身体可以的时候再去。但你在家至少休息一到两天。
Dialogue Two
4.【答案】C
【解析】根据对话者双方的身份,可以得知这是父亲和孩子之间的对话。本段对话的关键词allowance:“零用钱”的意思。根据空格后约书亚所提到的数字可以推断此处问的是数量的多少,因此选C。
5.【答案】B
【解析】在约书亚告知父亲应给13美元的零用钱时,父亲表示出不确定是否有那么多钱,于是约书亚要求去银行:go to the bank。根据空格后父亲所说的:Lots of money和the bank is closed,可以推知B项“你有很多钱”符合文意。
6.【答案】A
【解析】根据空格后约书亚所说的:put some in savings, give some to the poor people, and use the rest to buy books. “把一些钱存起来,一些资助穷人,剩下的买书”,可以看出这是父亲问儿子如何处理这些零用钱,因此选A。
【参考译文】
约书亚: 爸爸,该给零用钱了。可以给我吗?
父亲: 哦,我都忘了这事。
约书亚: 你总是忘。
父亲: 我总记不住。该给你多少钱?
约书亚: 就13美元。
父亲: 哦,我不确定现在是否有那么多钱。
约书亚:那就去银行,你那里存有很多钱。
父亲: 有很多钱?银行关门了吧。
约书亚: 那么你放在床底下储钱罐里的私房钱了?
约书亚: 哦,是的,我可以用那些钱。那这钱你打算怎么用?
约书亚:一些存起来,一些资助穷人,剩下的用来买书。
父亲:真不错,约书亚。
