四级听力短对话原文——2008年12月
三、2008年12月大学英语四级考试真题听力短对话
11.M: I just received an Email from one of my former classmates. I was surprised, I hadn’t
heard from him for ages.
W: Well, I’ve been out of touch with most of my old friends, only one or two still drop
me aline occasionally.
Q: What does the woman mean?
for ages. 好几年
out of touch 没有联系
drop sb a line 写信给某人
Occasionally 偶尔
12. M: If you can make up your mind about the color, I can start on the outside of your
house early next week.
W: Well, right now I think I want white for the window frames and yellow for the walls,
but I'll let you know tomorrow.
Q: Who is the woman talking to?
Make up one's mind 下定决心,做出决定
Window frame 窗框
大意:M:如果您现在把油漆颜色定下来了,那我下周就开始给您粉刷外墙。
W:额,我初步想法是想把窗框刷成白色,墙刷成黄色。这样,我明天再给你
确切答复吧。
13. W: Excuse me, do you have any apartments available for under 500 dollars a month? I need
to move in next week when my new job starts.
M: The only vacant one I have is 600 dollars, have you inquired at the apartment complex
down the street?
Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
Apartment 套间
Available 可用的,在这里是“可供出租”的意思
Apartment complex 公寓,大楼 这是个固定搭配。Complex的常见意思是“复杂的”
但是还有一种生僻的意思是“建筑群”
14. W: You bought a pair of jeans yesterday, didn’t you? What are they like?
M: Oh, they are pretty much like my other ones, except with a larger waist. I guess I
haven’t spent much time exercising lately.
Q: What can we infer from the conversation about the man?
Larger waist 腰围更大
第二句话的意识是:新买的牛仔裤比以前买的腰围大,因为我最近没怎么锻炼身体,
所以长胖了
15. W: I really like those abstract paintings we saw yesterday. What do you think?
M: I guess it's something I haven't acquired a taste for yet.
Q: What does the man imply?
Abstract 抽象的
Acquired a taste对……有兴趣,开始喜欢
大意是:这女的说她喜欢抽象画,问这男的喜欢不?这男的委婉的说:我目前还不是对它太
感兴趣(其实这男人的意思就是不怎么喜欢)
16. W: You haven't seen a blue notebook, have you? I hope I didn’t leave it in the reading
room.
M: Did you check that pile of journals you’ve borrowed from the library the other day?
Q: What is the man trying to say to the woman?
Check 检查,查看
Journals 期刊,杂志
The other day 前几天
17. M: How about joining me for a cup of coffee?
W: I’d love to, but I’m exhausted. I was up till 3 this morning, writing a paper for my
literature class.
Q: Why does the woman decline the man’s invitation?
I was up till 3 this morning. 我早上三点才睡的。
literature class.文学课
这种题型的历年四六级经常考:男的邀请女的,女的先说:I'd love to (我很想去)but
不去...这是种规律,一般女的都不会去。据新东方一
个老师的统计,四六级考试这么多年,男人邀请女人,
女人从来都没去过。
18. W: You had a job interview yesterday, didn’t you? How did it go?
M: Not too bad, I guess. There were about 20 candidates competing for the sales
manager’s job. And finally it was down to three of us, but the other two seemed
better qualified.
Q: What does the man imply?
Candidate 候选人,这里的意思是应聘者
Qualified 有资格的,能胜任的
最后一句话的意思是:最后只剩下我和其他两个人,我觉得他们两个被录用的希望更大。
