A.Borrowing a book from the library. B.Opening an account at the bank. C.Applying for the writing classes.
D.Applying for membership of the library. √
解析：解析：①选项都是动名词短语，可推测问题很可能跟对话的主题有关。②对话开头男士就讲到想了解关于申请图书馆会员的事项，接着对话中提到申请成为图书馆会员的一些条件和需准备的资料，以及会员借书的相关问题，最后还提到图书馆开设的写作课程。这都与申请图书馆会员这一主题相关，因此本题选D。
A.It's free.
B.It's ￡25 per year. C.It's ￡105 per year. D.It's ￡125 per year. √
解析：解析：①对话中女士介绍到，图书馆对本校学生免费，校外人员费用为每年125英镑；如果是外校学生，费用则为每年25英镑。男士提到去年还是Westerley大学的学生，不过现在已经开始工作了，所以男士如今被归为校外人员，需支付每年125英镑，因此本题选D。②A“免费”和B“每年25英镑”分别针对本校和外校学生群体的，所以都不正确。C“每年105英镑”未在对话中提及。 A.Only students at North College can join it. B.The man can fill out the application form online. C.The man can only borrow 8 items at a time. √ D.The man needs a credit card to apply for joining it.
解析：解析：①录音中男士问女士能借几本书，女士回答说学生可以借12件物品，而社会人员则只能借8件，所以本题选C。②男士在录音中问到，听说不是North C0llege的学生也可以加入图书馆，女士给予肯定的回答，那么A项有误。谈到加入图书馆的要求时，女士告诉男士需要来到图书馆并且填写表格，所以B项的online也是错误的。当男士问到是否需要信用卡时，女士回答说不用，所以D也不正确。 A.He can't borrow from it again. B.He will be imposed a fine. √ C.He can get an advance notice. D.He will be given a booklet.
解析：解析：①当男士问到如果没能按时还书会怎么样时，女士回答“跟其他的图书馆一样，会有罚款机制”，后面具体讲到罚款的标准，因此B“他会被处以罚款”为正确选项。②A“不能再从这里借书”、C“会提前获得通知”都不符合对话内容。D项只是利用原文中的give you a booklet做干扰。 A.Thursday evenings. B.Friday evenings. √ C.Wednesday evenings. D.Tuesday evenings.
解析：解析：①选项都表示时间，而且为复数，可推测题目与某事通常发生的时间有关。②在讲到创意写作课的时间时，女士告知是每周四晚上课，但后来马上改口为每周五晚，因此本题选B。 （分数：10.00）
A.To ask about the job advertised in the newspaper. B.To enquire about the new bookcases advertised.
C.To ask for information on the second-hand bookcases. √ D.To place an advertisement in the local newspaper.
解析：解析：①选项都是不定式短语，可以推测出题目很可能问目的或原因。②对话开头男士就讲明打电话过来是想咨询昨天报纸上登的关于出售书柜的广告．从下文可以看出这两个书柜是二手的，因此本题选C“询问有关二手书柜的信息”。 A.75cm wide and 180cm high. √ B.180cm wide and 75cm high. C.75cm wide and 118cm high. D.118cm wide and 75cm high.
解析：解析：①选项都是关于尺寸的数字，由此可推测问题与某物的尺寸有关。②对话中男士表示比较在意书柜的宽度，于是女士告知了书柜的宽度和高度分别是75厘米和180厘米，因此本题选A。 A.Metal. B.Wood. √ C.Glass. D.Steel.
解析：解析：①选项都是表示材料的名词，可推测问题可能与某物的材料有关。②男士讲到自己不想要金属之类的尖锐材料制成的书柜，想找的是木制的书柜，女士表示她的两个书柜都是木制的，因此本题选B。 A.It was painted white. B.It was used by her son. C.She bought it 5 years ago. √ D.She charges ￡60 for it.
解析：解析：①选项都是关于it的描述和介绍，听音时注意it指代什么物品及其相关信息。②根据女士的介绍，第一个书柜是五年前花了60英镑买的，之前放在她儿子房间，现在是米色，她开价为15英镑，因此本题选C。因此A“油漆是白色的”、B“她儿子之前在用这个书柜”和D“女士开价60英镑”都不正确。
A.It is too expensive. √ B.It is not of good quality. C.He doesn't like the color. D.It is out of date.
解析：解析：①男士得知第二个书柜的价格是95英镑时，表示价格太高，自己不想花高于30或40英镑的价钱去购买书柜，所以比较倾向于买第一个书柜，因此本题选A。②根据女士的介绍，第二个书柜是原木色的，没有上漆，而且质量很好，所以选项B、C不正确，D未在对话中提及。
