24、应该是考查男士过去的活动。A、B、C均与苹果树和院子有关,只有C是关于fence(栅栏),与其他三项内容差别较大,且与其他各题选项内容均不相关,故C为答案的可能性较小。【听音验证】【听音验证】W:Hello,Patrick,is that you?M:Yeah,Jane,what can I do for you?W:I was calling about the apple tree that you were trimming yesterday.M:That was hard work!【答案解析】19.What did the man do yesterday?【解析】选B。由女士话中

31、ed to go to court.C He was not intimidated.D He was a bit concerned.【听前预测】【听前预测】由选项中的concession(让步),go to court,intimidate(威胁),concerned(担心)等词可推测问题应该与男士对某事的反应有关。A是说他准备让步,B是说他不准备上法庭,二者都表示男士要“妥协退让”的含义,故很可能都不是答案。【听音验证】【听音验证】M:Get the branches off my property or Ill have to sue you.M:Yeah?For what?!W:Yo
