2005年1月四级听力原文
1. W: You’ve sold your car. You don’t need one?
M: Not really. I’ve never liked driving anyway. Now we’ve moved to a place near
the subway entrance. We can get about quite conveniently.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
2. M: I’m going to drop my Information Science class. It means too early in the
morning.
W: Is that really the good reason to drop the class, Tony?
Q: What does the woman mean?
3. W: If you aren’t doing anything particular, shall we see the new play at the Grand
Theater tonight?
M: Sounds great. But I’ve got to go over my notes for tomorrow’s midterm.
Q: What does the woman imply?
4. M: What do you think of the prospects for online education? Is it going to replace
the traditional school?
W: I doubt it. Schools are here to stay, because there are much more than just book
learning. Even though more and more kids are going online, I believe fewer of them
will quit school altogether.
Q: What does the woman think of the conventional schools?
