Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
18.

長(zhǎng)對(duì)話 （19~21）
M: Mrs. Dawson, thanks very much for coming down to the station. I just like to go over some of the things that you told police officer Parmer at the bank.
W: All right.
M: Well, could you describe the man who robbed the bank for this report that we’re filling out here? Now, anything at all that you can remember would be extremely helpful to us.
W: Well, just, I can only remember basically what I said before.
M: That’s all right.
W: The man was tall, six foot, and he had dark hair, and he had moustache.
M: Very good. All right, did he have any other distinguishing marks?
W: Um, no, none that I can remember.
M: Do you remember how old he was by any chance?
W: Well, I guess around 30, maybe younger, give or take a few years.
M: Mm, all right. Do you remember anything about what he was wearing?
W: Yes, yes, he had on a dark sweater, a solid color.
M: OK. Um, anything else that strikes you at the moment?
W: I remember he was wearing a light shirt under the sweater. Yes, yes.
M: All right. Mrs. Dawson, I really appreciate what you’ve been through today. I’m just going to ask you to look at some photographs before you leave if you don’t mind. It won’t take very long. Can you do that for me?

W: Candidate Foreset.
M: Oh yes. What exactly is it that interests you about the job?

W: Yes. I’m 23. I’ve been working abroad.

M: I see. You have foreign languages?
W: French and Italian.
M: Well, I think the best thing for you to do is do reply a writing to the advertisement.
W: Can’t I arrange for an interview now?

Section B
Passage One
One of the greatest heartbreaks for fire fighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead. Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked the fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster. To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays fire fighters’ equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. “If you see us,” Velez tells them, “don’t hide! We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you.” Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish. Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks. But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris. In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.
26 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters?
27 What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez?
28 What do we learn about Pete Gentry?
29 What message is the speaker trying to convey?
Passage Two
Some people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early. I see people pursuing higher paying and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal. They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for income today. The problem is that tomorrow might not come. Even if it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working if you spend your entire life making money? More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with? At the other extreme are people who live only for today. Why bother saving when I might not be here tomorrow, they argue. The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all. And most people don't want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living. The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older. You maybe surprise to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme I think it's better to pick the spend-all approach. As long as you don't mind continuing to work, assuming your health allows, you should be OK. At least, you are making use of your money, and hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it. Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake. It may never come. Retirement can be a great time for some people. For others, it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.
30 Why do some people pursue higher paying but demanding careers?
31 What is the danger facing people who live only for today?
32 What does the speaker seem to advocate?
Passage Three
Imagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well, it happens everyday to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves. Even though I’d never steal.
Store employees looked at me like I’m some kind of hardened criminal. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story. “No more than two students at a time”. After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, “You kids are stealing too much stuff.” You kids? Too much stuff? We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves. The most annoying thing though, is the way employees watched my friends and me. It’s horrible.
Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy standing on a large box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, more than he was watching his own. I showed him that my hands were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that!
33. What does the speaker find to be unfair?
34. What measure did the Graben Gore Restaurant take to stop stealing?
35. What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker?
Section C
Writing keeps us in touch with other people. We write to communicate with relatives and friends. We write to preserve our family histories so our children and grandchildren can learn and appreciate their heritage. With computers and Internet connections in so many households, colleges, and businesses, people are e-mailing friends and relatives all the time -- or talking to them in writing in online chat rooms. It is cheaper than calling long distance, and a lot more convenient than waiting until Sunday for the telephone rates to drop. Students are e-mailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them. They are e-mailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework. They are also sharing information about concerts and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.
Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there will always be a place and need for the personal letter. A hand-written note to a friend or a family member is the best way to communicate important thoughts. No matter what the content of the message, its real point is, "I want you to know that I care about you." This writing practice brings rewards that can’t be seen in bank accounts, but only in the success of human relationships.

對(duì)話精析：
第一個(gè)短對(duì)話：
談?wù)撎鞖鈚he heat is unbearable，強(qiáng)調(diào)有了華盛頓的museums and restaurants，天氣再熱也無(wú)所謂I’ll be happy here no matter what the temperature.
學(xué)會(huì)看看生活中的積極因素，有了博物館和餐館，天氣再熱都熱愛(ài)華盛頓，這是何等的樂(lè)天精神啊!
第二個(gè)短對(duì)話：
談?wù)撔鹿ぷ?，I’m learning a lot of new things, but I wish the director would give me some feedback.我學(xué)了很多新東西呢，但是我希望上司能給我點(diǎn)反饋!!!feedback是反饋也是答案的題眼。這位女士想知道什么呢，想知道上司對(duì)她的看法嘛!
第三個(gè)短對(duì)話：
關(guān)于鍛煉身體的，還是關(guān)于制定鍛煉身體的計(jì)劃的!Can you help me work out a physical training program, John?你能幫我制定個(gè)鍛煉的項(xiàng)目嗎?Sure, but whatever you do be careful not to overdo it. 當(dāng)然啦，不過(guò)不管你做什么，得小心點(diǎn)別過(guò)頭啊!接下來(lái)的句子是舉例子Last time I had two weeks’ worth of weight-lifting in three days and I hurt myself.上次我三天就完成了兩個(gè)星期的舉重的訓(xùn)練，結(jié)果我就受傷了。
問(wèn)題是這個(gè)男人要建議這個(gè)女人什么?
四六級(jí)考試委員會(huì)一片苦心啊，這里分明在告誡同學(xué)們，平時(shí)鍛煉身體悠著點(diǎn)兒。
第四個(gè)短對(duì)話：
這個(gè)對(duì)話好!弘揚(yáng)愛(ài)護(hù)老人的美德的!
兒子說(shuō)，我媽媽年紀(jì)大啦，I have an elderly mother 然后表達(dá)他對(duì)媽媽乘飛機(jī)的擔(dān)心 I’m worried about her going on a plane. Is there any risk?有沒(méi)有危險(xiǎn)啊?
接下來(lái)，醫(yī)生的回答，再次體現(xiàn)四六級(jí)客觀而樂(lè)觀的精神，Not if her heart is all right. If she has a heart condition, I’d recommend against it.她心臟沒(méi)問(wèn)題就沒(méi)事啊，如果她心臟有問(wèn)題的話，那我就不建議她去(乘飛機(jī)啦)
第五個(gè)短對(duì)話：
交通違規(guī)怎么做?!四六級(jí)聽(tīng)力教你謙恭有禮做回答。首先，第一句的男士質(zhì)問(wèn)，Why didn’t you stop when we first signaled you at the crossroads?我們第一次示意讓你在交叉口停車，你干嘛不停呢?(潛臺(tái)詞是，瞧，還不是被我給逮回來(lái)訓(xùn)話了么?!在這種情況之下，這位女士態(tài)度是誠(chéng)懇的，Sorry, I was just a bit absent-minded. Anyway, do I have to pay a fine? 對(duì)不起啊，我有點(diǎn)心不在焉。但不管怎么說(shuō)，我需要罰款嗎?
人嘛，都是有時(shí)候情緒化的嘛，并且我認(rèn)罰，這句子學(xué)會(huì)了順便大家開(kāi)車的素質(zhì)都提高了哈!
第六個(gè)短對(duì)話：
家庭瑣事。
第一個(gè)人說(shuō)，I’m no expert我不是專家but that noise in your refrigerator doesn’t sound right. Maybe you should have it fixed.但是你冰箱里面的噪音聽(tīng)起來(lái)不大對(duì)啊，也許你應(yīng)該去修理了吧。 have it fixed這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)是考官們發(fā)誓要考生學(xué)會(huì)的have sth done的結(jié)構(gòu)。
第二個(gè)人開(kāi)腔了，You’re right.對(duì)話基調(diào)釘牢，我同意你，就是冰箱確實(shí)壞了。And I suppose I’ve put it off long enough.我恐怕我已經(jīng)拖得夠久了，put off,另一個(gè)考官立誓要教會(huì)全中國(guó)考生的內(nèi)容，拖延，put off,核心之核心。
問(wèn)題，這女的可能會(huì)怎么做呢?
她學(xué)會(huì)了核心單詞聽(tīng)懂了整個(gè)對(duì)話以后，一定會(huì)去修冰箱!!并且，這里強(qiáng)調(diào) 是找人修冰箱， have it fixed而不是她自己修! she will fix it herself.
第七個(gè)短對(duì)話：
買房問(wèn)題。全國(guó)熱議啊，考試考到的角度那是真叫一個(gè)藝術(shù)!
我市區(qū)的公寓賣得不錯(cuò)!I did extremely well on the sale of my downtown apartment.也就是說(shuō)賣了一個(gè)好價(jià)錢啦! Now, I have enough money to buy that piece of land I’ve had my eye on and build a house on it.現(xiàn)在，我可有錢買一塊我早就看中的地啦，我能建一所房子啦!
偷偷感嘆下，這說(shuō)明了城鄉(xiāng)的房?jī)r(jià)是多么滴有茶具啊!不過(guò)考官還是仁慈的，不考那么隱晦的，來(lái)個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的，聽(tīng)到這句話的人呢說(shuō)Congratulations!Does that mean you’ll be moving soon?
恭喜你啊，那這是不是說(shuō)明你很快要搬家了啊?!
問(wèn)題問(wèn)我們知道第一個(gè)陳述的那個(gè)男人什么情況?!簡(jiǎn)單，字面意思就夠你用來(lái)解答了，賣公寓了有了錢買地建房子了!
第八個(gè)短對(duì)話：
還是運(yùn)動(dòng)，不過(guò)這里面涉及了一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)西方的固定搭配，black and blue又黑又藍(lán)，這實(shí)際上說(shuō)的是咱中文里面的， 身上摔得又青又紫。
第一個(gè)人是在說(shuō)她昨天在冰上摔了一跤，手到現(xiàn)在還疼呢，My hand still hurts from the fall on the ice yesterday. I wonder if I broke something.我想知道我是不是摔壞哪兒了啊
(I wonder if這個(gè)句型好，走過(guò)路過(guò)不要錯(cuò)過(guò)，I wonder if I could get married with Sister Phoenix我真想知道我能不能娶鳳姐啊?!)
下面這位男士的回答是， I’m no doctor, but it’s not black and blue or anything. Maybe you just need to rest it for a few days. 我不是醫(yī)生，但是如果沒(méi)有什么又青又紫也沒(méi)其他問(wèn)題的話，也許你只是需要休息幾天罷了。
問(wèn)題，此女發(fā)生了什么問(wèn)題?
答案，手摔了，焦慮，問(wèn)了一男的，這男的很冷靜，告訴她沒(méi)啥事。
長(zhǎng)對(duì)話(19~25)
答案及解析：
19. What do we learn about the woman?
答案：D) She was a witness to the crime.
解析：文中男士需要女士描述一下?lián)尳巽y行的人(describe the man who robbed the bank)。選項(xiàng)中B提到了robbery，但是對(duì)話中沒(méi)有說(shuō)明女士是受害者(victim);D選項(xiàng)提到了她目擊了某個(gè)犯罪經(jīng)過(guò)，robbery顯然是crime的一種。
20. What did the suspect look like?
答案：A) A tall man with dark hair and a moustache.
解析：原文中提到The man was tall, six foot, and he had dark hair, and he had moustache.，對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)A。
21. What did the man finally asked the woman to do?
答案：A) Identify the suspect from pictures.
解析：對(duì)話結(jié)尾處，男士要求女士look at some photographs，很顯然，他的目的是讓女士通過(guò)照片來(lái)辨別嫌疑人。因此選擇A。
22. How did the woman get to know about the job vacancy?
答案：A) By reading a newspaper ad.
解析： job vacancy指空缺的職位。在對(duì)話一開(kāi)始，女士就說(shuō)到她的目的：I’m calling about the job that was in the paper last night.從這句話中可以看出她得知職位信息的來(lái)源是the paper last night，對(duì)應(yīng)A選項(xiàng)。
23. Why did the woman find the job appealing?
答案：B) She could work close to her family.
解析：本題關(guān)鍵詞是appealing，意為引起興趣的。女士提到她喜歡這份工作的原因是be near to the family.，close是near的同義替換詞，因此選擇B選項(xiàng)。
24. What had the woman been doing in Geneva?
答案：C) Working as a secretary.
解析：女士提到她在日內(nèi)瓦做了一些secretarial work，也就是選項(xiàng)C中的secretary。雖然她也提到之前在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，但是她取得的學(xué)位是a degree in English，而非選項(xiàng)D中的a degree in French.
25. What was the woman asked to do in the end?
答案：C) Send in a written application as soon as possible.
解析：對(duì)話中女士希望得到面試機(jī)會(huì)，但是男士要求先要遞交書面申請(qǐng)(reply a writing to the advertisement)，并不是所有人都能得到面試機(jī)會(huì)，因此選擇答案C。
題材考點(diǎn)分析：
長(zhǎng)對(duì)話第二篇圍繞女士求職面試展開(kāi)，男士問(wèn)了很多關(guān)于女士個(gè)人信息的問(wèn)題，女士做出回答。做題時(shí)需要考生把握住對(duì)話大意、抓住細(xì)節(jié)信息以及兩人的態(tài)度。
對(duì)話中的考點(diǎn)主要集中在細(xì)節(jié)、重點(diǎn)一些詞組含義，以及同意詞組替換。對(duì)話中關(guān)鍵信息包括：been working in Geneva, secretarial work, degree in English, be near to the family, applications in writing等。考題也正是針對(duì)這些關(guān)鍵信息出的，在聽(tīng)的時(shí)候考察考生對(duì)于細(xì)節(jié)的把握，尤其是敘述相同類型的事情時(shí)，更需要記下其中的區(qū)別，從而在做題時(shí)能夠準(zhǔn)確的選出選項(xiàng)。如對(duì)話中提到女士會(huì)French和English，區(qū)別是會(huì)說(shuō)French，拿到了degree in English.
其中有幾題考察同義詞組替換。比如23題中用close替換了near，24題中用secretary替換了secretarial work。選項(xiàng)中頻頻出現(xiàn)同義詞組替換，由此可見(jiàn)考生平時(shí)應(yīng)該注意積累同一個(gè)意思不同的表達(dá)法。
另外，從說(shuō)話的語(yǔ)氣和表達(dá)情緒的詞，也可以聽(tīng)出說(shuō)話人的態(tài)度。比如女士在問(wèn)到能否安排面試時(shí)，男士的回答 “Well, I’m afraid…” 由此看出男士否定了女士的想法。因此在做題中，很容易地排除了安排面試的選項(xiàng)。
總體來(lái)說(shuō)，這篇聽(tīng)力難度中等，關(guān)鍵是要抓住細(xì)節(jié)。
Section B
Passage One
聽(tīng)力文章分析：
本文難度不大，生詞和難詞不是很多，關(guān)鍵是整體上的及關(guān)鍵句的理解。先是消防隊(duì)員在營(yíng)救火災(zāi)中時(shí)常遇到小孩對(duì)消防隊(duì)員的設(shè)備不熟悉，以為是帶著面具的怪獸(monster)，從而躲起來(lái)，無(wú)法得到及時(shí)營(yíng)救而喪失的現(xiàn)象入手，引出Eric Velez為了防止此類現(xiàn)象再次發(fā)生，在社區(qū)里開(kāi)始對(duì)孩子消防知識(shí)的教育。再舉例進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明教育性質(zhì)的演講在拯救生命的巨大作用。最后再簡(jiǎn)略地說(shuō)下此類演講的其他作用。
做題要點(diǎn)：
(1) 抓關(guān)鍵句。一般篇章類聽(tīng)力，篇幅較長(zhǎng)，聽(tīng)的時(shí)候一定要學(xué)會(huì)準(zhǔn)確提取有用的信息，如原因目的、結(jié)果、數(shù)字、開(kāi)頭和結(jié)尾部分等。
“because they think they have seen a monster” “To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire.” “But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives.” “Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food,” “In addition to saving lives,”
這幾句就包括了所有題目的答案，只要抓住這幾句并理解了其意，題目就不難做出。
(2) 抓住細(xì)節(jié)，但無(wú)需執(zhí)著于細(xì)節(jié)。
本文的題目每題都設(shè)置了很多細(xì)節(jié)干擾項(xiàng)。如果太過(guò)執(zhí)著于細(xì)節(jié)，如frightened by smoke and noise ;Eric Velez learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents 就會(huì)使得做題時(shí)容易被細(xì)節(jié)分心，從而無(wú)法立即準(zhǔn)確地判斷和加以選擇。
重點(diǎn)詞匯：
fire fighters 消防隊(duì)員 monster怪獸、怪物 heartbreaks 傷心事 catch a glimpse of 瞥見(jiàn) masked戴面具的 oxygen mask 氧氣面罩 informative 教育性的，有益的
答案及解析：
26. D) They mistake the firefighters for monsters.
解析：細(xì)節(jié)題，從開(kāi)始when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster一句中便可得出因?yàn)椴皇煜は廊藛T戴面具的形象，孩子們以為來(lái)救援的消防人員是怪獸，所以躲起來(lái)。所以選D。其他選項(xiàng)文中都沒(méi)有涉及到。
27. B) He often teaches children what to do during a fire.
解析：本篇文章大篇幅講的是Eric Velez給社區(qū)里的孩子講解消防知識(shí)，讓他們熟悉消防人員及消防工具的過(guò)程。選項(xiàng)A，put out fire雖然是Eric Velez的工作，但是本文重點(diǎn)不是在其消防員救活這個(gè)工作上，C、D選項(xiàng)很容易就可以排除。所以選B。
28. A) He saved the life of his brother choking on food.
解析：細(xì)節(jié)題，從Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food一句便可得出答案，文章中關(guān)于Pete Gentry的主要信息就是他救了噎著食物的弟弟。所以選A。做題時(shí)一定要把人名及其所做的事準(zhǔn)確對(duì)應(yīng)起來(lái)。
29. D) Informative speeches can save lives.
解析：主旨題，本文舉了一個(gè)大例子，一下小例子來(lái)證明教育性的演說(shuō)有救人性命的好處。雖然在文章最后也列舉了下其他好處，但是主旨還是拯救生命。所以選D。其他幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)都主要講細(xì)節(jié)處，很容易就可以排除。
Passage Two
聽(tīng)力文章分析：
本篇聽(tīng)力講述的是截然不同的兩種生活態(tài)度，一種是“make and save a lot of money in order to retire early”，另一種則是“live only for today”，作者在陳述兩種不同態(tài)度之后，針對(duì)兩種態(tài)度給出了自己的看法“it's better to pick the spend-all approach”。本篇聽(tīng)力不是太難，沒(méi)有較難的詞匯，雖然有幾個(gè)需要注意的句式，如：“At the other extreme are people who live only for today. Why bother saving… ”等，但是通過(guò)上下文也是不難理解的，而且結(jié)構(gòu)也比較清楚，基本上可以分為三部分：兩種不同的態(tài)度和作者的觀點(diǎn)，所考察的三道題也上針對(duì)了這三個(gè)主要的點(diǎn)。由此可見(jiàn)，聽(tīng)聽(tīng)力的時(shí)候依然首先要從全文來(lái)把握，把握文章的要點(diǎn)，在把握要點(diǎn)的基礎(chǔ)上，有重點(diǎn)的去聽(tīng)一些細(xì)節(jié)，如與要點(diǎn)相關(guān)的原因和后果，以及作者本人對(duì)這些事情的看法，遇到與此相關(guān)的信號(hào)詞或者關(guān)鍵詞時(shí)就一定要注意重點(diǎn)記憶。
答案及解析：
30. C) To make money for early retirement.
解析：本題考察原因，問(wèn)為什么人們喜歡比較苛求但收入較高的工作，其實(shí)聽(tīng)力一開(kāi)始就用in order to 給出了原因，即：retire early，所以選C項(xiàng)。
31. A) They may have to continue to work in old age.
解析：本題考察后果，問(wèn)只為當(dāng)下而活的人面臨著什么危險(xiǎn)，從“The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older.”中可以看出A是正確選項(xiàng)，及在年老時(shí)有可能不得不繼續(xù)工作。
32. B) Enjoying yourself while you can.
解析：本課考察文章作者的態(tài)度，從 “Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake.”中可以看出，作者認(rèn)為想等到退休后再做自己想做的事情以及和自己喜歡的人在一起可能是一種錯(cuò)誤，所以選B，即趁著自己還可以的時(shí)候要懂得享受生活。
Passage Three
聽(tīng)力文章分析：
此篇短文聽(tīng)力難度適中。敘述者，即文中的speaker，通過(guò)記敘自己的境遇表達(dá)個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)。三個(gè)自然段分別對(duì)應(yīng)文章后的三道題，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰明了，題目答案導(dǎo)向明確。
第一段通過(guò)開(kāi)篇點(diǎn)題引出本文話題，“以偏概全”著實(shí)有失公平;
第二段記敘一個(gè)發(fā)生在Graben Gore 飯店的故事，關(guān)鍵句：A new sign in the window told the story. “No more than two students at a time”;
第三段同樣是記敘一個(gè)發(fā)生在藥店的故事，故事情節(jié)較為簡(jiǎn)單。
此三題聽(tīng)時(shí)關(guān)鍵在于抓關(guān)鍵句子，個(gè)別人名等不需做過(guò)多關(guān)注。
答案及解析：
33.C) Innocent people being suspected groundlessly。
文章第一段中，由”How fair will that be”的前一句和后一句均可推出此答案。前一句即“一個(gè)鄰居犯了法，所有的鄰居們都成了懷疑對(duì)象”。后一句即“因?yàn)橛行W(xué)生小偷小摸，所有的學(xué)生就都被當(dāng)成小偷來(lái)看待……”，二者表明一個(gè)意思，即“無(wú)辜者被毫無(wú)理由的懷疑屬實(shí)不公平”。
34.D) Allowing only two students to enter at a time。
第一個(gè)小故事中的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵句后面緊跟答案。該關(guān)鍵句為，”A new sign in the window told the story.”
而這個(gè)sign的內(nèi)容就是緊隨其后的“No more than two students at a time”.
35.B) He was closely watched.
此題需要自己稍作總結(jié)，最后一個(gè)小故事說(shuō)到文中的“我”去藥店，卻一直被盯著;此事讓“我”很是不滿。
Section C
36. preserve
37. appreciate
