Question 1Listening and responding

You hear: 女：李先生，您好！欢迎您来我们公司。 男：谢谢，很高兴见到您。 What is the woman doing?

  1. 向陌生人问路
  2. 欢迎客人来访公司 Correct answer.
  3. 向同事告别并道歉
  4. 请客人吃饭

Explanation

A greeting plus 欢迎您来我们公司 ("welcome to our company") is the standard formula for receiving a visitor. The speaker uses 您 and the visitor's surname 李先生, which signals a formal, hospitable welcome. Listening for the keyword 欢迎 rather than the polite 您好 identifies the function of the utterance.

Question 2Listening and responding

You hear: 男：明天的会议几点开始？ 女：原定九点，现在改到十点半了。 When will the meeting start?

  1. 九点半
  2. 十点半 Correct answer.
  3. 早上九点整
  4. 上午十点

Explanation

The woman says 原定九点，现在改到十点半了: the meeting was originally at nine but has been moved to ten-thirty. The verb 改到 marks the new time, so the earlier time is only background information. Catching the contrast between 原定 and 现在 is the key to this item.

Question 3Listening and responding

You hear: 女：你这份报告写得不错，不过第三部分的数据能再核对一下吗？ 男：好的，我今天下午就改。 What does the woman want the man to do?

  1. 今天下午就把报告交上去
  2. 把整份报告重写一遍
  3. 再增加几个章节
  4. 核对第三部分的数据 Correct answer.

Explanation

The woman first praises the report, then uses 不过 followed by 能再核对一下吗, which is a polite request to check something again. 不过 signals a qualification to the praise, and 核对 means to verify against a source rather than to rewrite. The scope is limited by 第三部分, so only that section's figures need checking.

Question 4Listening and responding

You hear: 男：王老师，这道题我还是不太明白，能不能麻烦您再讲一遍？ 女：没问题，下课后来办公室找我吧。 What does the man's use of 能不能麻烦您 show?

  1. 他在抱怨作业太多
  2. 他在礼貌地请老师帮忙 Correct answer.
  3. 他在请求老师允许他提前离开教室
  4. 他在拒绝老师的讲解

Explanation

能不能麻烦您 is a conventional, indirect way of asking a favour: 麻烦您 softens the imposition and 能不能 makes the request tentative rather than demanding. Paired with 王老师 and 下课后来办公室找我, the exchange shows a student politely asking for extra explanation. The register is deferential, typical of student-to-teacher speech.

Question 5Listening and responding

You hear: 女：这个书包多少钱？ 男：原价两百八，现在打七折。 How much does the bag cost now?

  1. 84元
  2. 196元 Correct answer.
  3. 280元
  4. 200元

Explanation

原价两百八 means the original price is 280 yuan, and 打七折 means the buyer pays seventy percent of that price. Multiplying 280 by 0.7 gives 196, so the current price is 196 yuan. Chinese discounts state the fraction paid, so 七折 is not "seventy percent off."

Question 6Listening and responding

You hear: 男：请问，最近的银行怎么走？ 女：一直往前走，到第二个路口往右拐，银行就在邮局旁边。 Where is the bank?

  1. 在第一个路口右拐
  2. 在路口左边
  3. 在邮局旁边 Correct answer.
  4. 在邮局对面

Explanation

The woman gives a route and ends with 银行就在邮局旁边, so the bank is beside the post office. 旁边 means next to, a different spatial relation from 对面 (opposite). She also specifies 第二个路口, meaning the turn comes at the second intersection rather than the first.

Question 7Listening and responding

You hear: 女：小张说他明天一定把材料交上来。 男：他上次也是这么说的。 What does the man imply?

  1. 他相信小张明天会交
  2. 他已经收到小张的材料
  3. 他不记得小张说过什么
  4. 他担心小张又会拖延 Correct answer.

Explanation

The man repeats 他上次也是这么说的 ("he said the same thing last time"), a mild irony implying the earlier promise was not kept. Chinese speakers often signal doubt through repetition and understatement rather than direct denial. Since the previous promise failed, the implication is that another delay is likely.

Question 8Listening and responding

You hear: 女：周六我们班去爬山，你有空一起去吗？ 男：周六啊……我本来很想去，可惜那天要陪我妈去医院。 What does the man mean?

  1. 他很想去，所以已经答应了
  2. 他妈妈不让他去爬山
  3. 他周六其实没有别的安排
  4. 他要陪母亲去医院 Correct answer.

Explanation

我本来很想去 followed by 可惜 introduces a contrast: the man would like to go but cannot. The reason given is 要陪我妈去医院, so he is declining the invitation politely. 可惜 marks regret, and no acceptance is ever made, which rules out agreement.

Question 9Listening and responding

You hear: 女：这次考试你觉得怎么样？ 男：别提了，我复习的东西一个都没考。 What does 别提了 suggest about the man?

  1. 他考得很好，还想再多说几句
  2. 他完全忘记了复习的内容
  3. 他考得不好，不想谈这件事 Correct answer.
  4. 他还没有参加这次考试

Explanation

别提了 literally means "don't even mention it" and in this context expresses frustration. It is reinforced by 一个都没考, meaning not one of the topics he reviewed appeared on the test. Together they show the exam went badly and he does not want to discuss it, so the phrase conveys emotion rather than literal forgetting.

Question 10Listening and responding

You hear: 女：喂，你现在在哪儿？会议马上就要开始了。 男：路上堵车，我大概十分钟后到，麻烦你先帮我把材料发给大家。 What does the man ask the woman to do?

  1. 等他到了再开始
  2. 帮他向公司请假
  3. 先把材料发给大家 Correct answer.
  4. 到楼下去接他

Explanation

麻烦你先帮我把材料发给大家 is a request introduced by 麻烦你, asking the woman to hand out the materials. The adverb 先 signals that this should be done before he arrives, not afterwards. Nothing in his reply mentions leave, delays to the meeting, or being met downstairs.

Question 11Listening and responding

You hear: 女：您好，请问几位？ 男：两位，请给我们找一个靠窗的位子。 What is the woman most likely doing?

  1. She is taking food orders.
  2. She is cleaning the windows.
  3. She is seating guests. Correct answer.
  4. She is cooking in the kitchen.

Explanation

The woman asks 请问几位, which means she is asking how many people are in the party. This is the standard way a host or hostess greets and seats customers in a restaurant, so she is seating guests rather than taking orders or cooking.

Question 12Listening and responding

You hear: 男：请问这本书可以借多久？ 女：一个月，可以续借一次。 How long can the man keep the book before renewing it?

  1. Two weeks.
  2. Two months.
  3. One month. Correct answer.
  4. One year.

Explanation

The woman says 一个月，可以续借一次, meaning the initial loan period is one month and one renewal is allowed. The renewal extends the period later but does not change the first loan period, so the correct answer is one month.

Question 13Listening and responding

You hear: 女：今天真冷，你多穿点。 男：知道了，我这就去拿外套。 What is the woman reminding the man to do?

  1. Drink hot water.
  2. Wear warmer clothes. Correct answer.
  3. Close the window.
  4. Take an umbrella.

Explanation

The woman says 今天真冷，你多穿点, which literally means it is cold today and the man should wear more. Her reminder is about keeping warm, so wearing warmer clothes is the correct choice.

Question 14Listening and responding

You hear: 女：喂，你好，我找王经理。 男：他出去开会了，您有什么事我可以转告。 女：麻烦您告诉他，合同我已经发到他邮箱了。 What does the woman want the man to do?

  1. Attend the meeting together with her.
  2. Send the contract to the manager by email.
  3. Give the manager a message. Correct answer.
  4. Ask the manager to call her back later.

Explanation

The woman says 麻烦您告诉他，合同我已经发到他邮箱了, which asks the man to tell the manager that the contract has been sent. The action she requests is passing on information, not sending the contract herself or attending a meeting.

Question 15Listening and responding

You hear: 男：医生，我这两天嗓子疼，还咳嗽。 女：有点发炎，多喝水，别吃辣的，药一天吃三次。 What does the doctor advise the man to do?

  1. Stay in bed and rest for a week.
  2. Take the medicine only once a day.
  3. Return for a check-up tomorrow morning.
  4. Drink water and avoid spicy food. Correct answer.

Explanation

The doctor says 多喝水，别吃辣的, which means drink more water and do not eat spicy food. These are the only instructions among the choices that match the doctor's advice; the medicine is to be taken three times a day.

Question 16Listening and responding

You hear: 女：开往上海方向的G102次列车因天气原因晚点二十分钟，请旅客们到三号候车室等候。 What are passengers asked to do?

  1. Ask for a refund at the ticket office.
  2. Wait in waiting room No. 3. Correct answer.
  3. Board the train at gate 3 in twenty minutes.
  4. Change to another train.

Explanation

The announcement says the train is delayed twenty minutes because of weather and asks passengers to wait in 三号候车室, waiting room No. 3. The delay time is not a boarding time, and no refund or train change is mentioned.

Question 17Listening and responding

You hear: 男：这件衬衫我上周买的，回家发现袖子有点短，能换一件吗？ 女：可以，不过要带上小票。 What does the woman require the man to do?

  1. Pay an extra fee.
  2. Choose a different color.
  3. Wait until next week.
  4. Bring the receipt. Correct answer.

Explanation

The woman agrees to the exchange but says 要带上小票, which means the man must bring the receipt. She does not ask for extra money, a delay, or a different color.

Question 18Listening and responding

You hear: 女：这套房子采光不错，就是离地铁站有点远。 男：走路大概十五分钟，附近也有公交车。 What is the woman's main concern about the apartment?

  1. The rent is higher than expected.
  2. There is no bus stop nearby.
  3. It is far from the subway. Correct answer.
  4. The rooms are smaller than expected.

Explanation

The woman praises the sunlight but says 就是离地铁站有点远, which identifies distance from the subway as her concern. The man responds with walking time and mentions buses, so the issue is the subway distance, not the rent or room size.

Question 19Listening and responding

You hear: 女：你不是说要减肥吗？怎么又吃蛋糕？ 男：就这一次，下不为例。 What does the man mean by 下不为例?

  1. He will eat less cake next time.
  2. He wants the woman to try the cake.
  3. He has given up losing weight.
  4. He will not do it again. Correct answer.

Explanation

下不为例 is an idiom meaning this time is an exception and it will not happen again. The man admits eating cake once but promises not to repeat the behavior, so he is not saying he will merely eat less or give up dieting.

Question 20Listening and responding

You hear: 女：听说你拿到了那家公司的offer，真厉害！ 男：哪里哪里，还得看最后能不能通过体检。 How does the man respond to the woman's praise?

  1. He asks the woman to help with the check-up.
  2. He proudly accepts the compliment.
  3. He thinks the company is not good enough.
  4. He is modest and uncertain about the result. Correct answer.

Explanation

哪里哪里 is a polite, modest way to deflect praise. The man then says 还得看最后能不能通过体检, showing that the offer is not final until the medical check is passed, so he is modest and uncertain rather than proud.

Question 21Listening and responding

You hear: 女：你刚才说“老地方”，是哪个老地方啊？ 男：就是我们上次一起吃饭的那家面馆。 What does the woman want to know?

  1. Whether the man likes noodles
  2. Who will go with them
  3. Which restaurant the man means Correct answer.
  4. What time they will meet

Explanation

女方用“是哪个老地方啊”追问具体所指，是在请求澄清；男方回答“上次一起吃饭的那家面馆”，用具体地点作出说明。因此她想知道的是哪家餐厅，而不是时间、口味或同行的人。

Question 22Listening and responding

You hear: 男：请问图书馆周末几点关门？ 女：周末五点，平时九点。 When does the library close on weekends?

  1. At five in the evening. Correct answer.
  2. At nine in the evening.
  3. At five in the morning.
  4. At nine in the morning.

Explanation

女方把“周末”和“平时”的关门时间分开说明：周末五点，平时九点。问题问的是周末，因此应选五点，而不是工作日的九点。听清时间限定词是关键。

Question 23Listening and responding

You hear: 女：晚上想吃什么？米饭还是面条？ 男：都行，你看着办吧。 What does the man mean?

  1. He does not want to eat.
  2. He has no preference. Correct answer.
  3. He would like noodles.
  4. He would like rice.

Explanation

“都行”表示米饭和面条都可以，“你看着办吧”把决定权交给对方，说明男方没有明显偏好。他并没有选择其中一种，也没有表示不想吃饭。

Question 24Listening and responding

You hear: 女：喂，你说什么？信号不太好，能大声一点吗？ 男：好，我现在到窗户旁边去。 What is the woman's problem?

  1. The call quality is poor. Correct answer.
  2. She is in a noisy room.
  3. The man is too far away.
  4. The man's phone is broken.

Explanation

女方说“信号不太好”并请求“大声一点”，说明通话质量差；男方走到窗边也是为了改善信号。手机损坏、距离太远或在嘈杂房间都没有被提到。

Question 25Listening and responding

You hear: 女：小刘，能帮我把这箱书搬到楼上吗？ 男：我现在手上正忙着，等十分钟可以吗？ What does the man mean?

  1. He wants the woman to carry the books.
  2. He refuses to help at all.
  3. He can help after a short wait. Correct answer.
  4. He has already moved the books.

Explanation

男方先用“正忙着”说明暂时不能立刻帮忙，再用“等十分钟可以吗”提出稍后帮忙，因此他不是拒绝，而是需要短暂等待。搬书的任务仍由他来完成。

Question 26Listening and responding

  1. Watch a game in the gym.

  3. Check the weather report.
  4. Cancel the sports meeting.

Explanation

女方用“要是……就……”说明下雨时的安排，男方用“那我……”承接，决定下午先把器材搬过去。这个行动计划针对的是搬器材，不是看比赛、查天气或取消活动。

Question 27Listening and responding

You hear: 女：小心，地上刚拖过，很滑。 男：谢谢提醒，我走慢一点。 What is the woman doing?

  1. Asking the man to clean the floor.
  2. Inviting the man to walk faster.
  3. Warning the man about the floor. Correct answer.
  4. Complaining about the cleaning.

Explanation

“小心”和“很滑”是典型的提醒用语，女方在告知地面湿滑的风险；男方回答“谢谢提醒”也确认了这是在关心他的安全。她不是在抱怨清洁，也不是要求对方拖地。

Question 28Listening and responding

You hear: 男：这件事你就别操心了，我来处理。 女：我怎么能不操心呢？毕竟关系到全组。 What does the woman mean?

  1. She trusts the man completely.
  2. She feels she must stay involved. Correct answer.
  3. She thinks the matter is unimportant.
  4. She wants to leave the group.

Explanation

男方劝她“别操心”，女方用反问“我怎么能不操心呢”表示否定，即她无法不关心；“毕竟关系到全组”进一步说明她认为自己必须参与。反问句在这里表达的是坚持，而不是信任或轻视。

Question 29Listening and responding

  1. He does not own a car.
  2. He is always on time.
  3. He drives too carefully.
  4. He often makes excuses. Correct answer.

Explanation

女方说“每次都有理由”，是在指出男方的解释反复出现，带有不满和批评；“你不是说再也不迟到吗”也说明男方曾作过承诺。她暗示的是他常找借口，而不是开车小心或准时。

  1. She has not been waiting long. Correct answer.
  2. She is angry about the delay.
  3. She has already left the restaurant.
  4. She wants the man to wait.

Explanation

女方说“没事，我也刚坐下”，意思是自己到达不久、没有等太久，以此安慰男方；“没事”也说明她并不生气，而不是已经离开或要求对方等待。

  2. 3:00
  3. 4:00

  2. Turn left
  3. Go straight
  4. Stop for a rest

  1. No large size in blue Correct answer.
  2. The store has no white shirts
  3. The shirt is too expensive
  4. She does not like the color blue

Explanation

The woman asks for a large blue shirt. The man says large sizes only come in white and black, and blue only goes up to medium. Therefore the specific item she wants is unavailable in her size.

  2. The meeting is canceled
  3. The meeting time has changed Correct answer.

  1. She does not want to travel
  2. She agrees with the man about flying
  3. She thinks the train is faster

  3. He wants to take the woman to the zoo

  1. Finish shopping before closing Correct answer.
  2. Pay at the counter immediately
  3. Leave the store right away
  4. Come back tomorrow morning

  1. Ask the man to apologize
  2. Not take it personally Correct answer.
  3. Ignore the man completely
  4. Argue with the man immediately

  1. Ask for more time
  2. Go home and rest
  3. Finish the report tonight Correct answer.
  4. Submit the report as it is

Explanation

The man says the conclusion is still missing, but if he works overtime tonight he can finish it. The report is due tomorrow morning, so his plan is to complete it tonight.

Question 41Listening and responding

  1. Black
  2. White
  3. Blue Correct answer.
  4. Red

Explanation

The woman asks whether her umbrella was left in the man's car. He checks and finds a black umbrella on the back seat, but the woman says her umbrella is blue, so the found one is not hers. The stated color of her umbrella is therefore blue.

  3. At the building front desk
  4. Inside the downstairs mailbox

Explanation

  3. From noon to 5 p.m.
  4. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

  3. Lin Correct answer.
  4. Wang

Explanation

The man asks whether the woman is Mr. Li Ming, but she corrects him by saying her surname is Lin, written with two wood radicals. She also explains that Li Ming is her colleague, so her own surname is not Li.

  2. In two days
  3. Tonight Correct answer.

  2. Buy some medicine
  3. Take his temperature Correct answer.
  4. Drink more water

Explanation

The doctor responds to the man's sore throat and cough by asking him first to take his temperature. She mentions a blood test only as a possible next step if he has a fever, so the first action is taking his temperature.

  1. Room 304

  3. Room 401
  4. Room 303

Explanation

The man says the computer class used to be on the third floor but has been moved this week to Room 403 on the fourth floor. The question asks about this week, so Room 403 is the correct location.

  2. He wants to order more dishes
  3. He admits he made a poor choice Correct answer.
  4. He thinks the service is fast

Explanation

The man responds to the woman's complaint by saying“是我考虑不周,” which admits that he did not consider things carefully. He also suggests checking reviews before choosing a restaurant next time, so he is acknowledging that his choice was poor.

Question 49Listening and responding

You hear: 广播：前往上海的第G102次列车因天气原因晚点约二十分钟，请乘客在候车室耐心等候，具体检票时间请留意广播通知。 What should passengers do?

  2. Wait in the waiting room for updates Correct answer.
  3. Board the train immediately at the gate
  4. Change to another train at once

Explanation

The announcement says the train to Shanghai is delayed about twenty minutes because of weather. It asks passengers to wait patiently in the waiting room and to listen for further announcements about boarding, so waiting for updates is the required action.

Question 50Listening and responding

You hear: 女：请问学生票多少钱？ 男：成人票八十，学生凭学生证半价。 How much is a student ticket?

  1. 40 yuan Correct answer.
  2. 20 yuan
  3. 60 yuan
  4. 80 yuan

Explanation

The man says an adult ticket costs eighty yuan and that students pay half price with a student ID. Half of eighty is forty, so the student ticket costs forty yuan.
