2016年12月英语四级听力短对话专项模拟题七

　　【短对话试题】

　　13. Q: What's the probable relationship between the speakers?

　　A. Colleagues. B. Husband and wife.

　　C. Employer and employee. D. Mother and son.

　　14.Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

　　A. She contacts her parents occasionally. B. She phones her parents regularly at weekends.

　　C. She visits her parents at weekends when the fares are down. D. She often calls her parents regardless of the rates.

　　【听力答案及讲解】

　　13. D 女士问“你再电脑上干什么呢?你忘记你的承诺了吗?”男士回答说“我不是在玩游戏，我是在猜字谜，它可以扩大我的单词量的。”可推知男士原先答应再也不在电脑上玩游戏，而这只可能是儿子对妈妈的承诺。故答案为D。本体属于人物关系题，只要抓住关键词，把握他们的用词和语气就能准确判断出他们的关系。

　　14. B 男士问女士这么多年来是否仍然与父母保持有规律的联系，女士说“我总是趁周末话费减半的时候给父母打电话”。B中的phone对应英文中的call,故正确。A错在occasionally“偶尔”;C错在visit“看望”;D错在regardless of the rates“不论话费多少”。

　　【听力原文】

　　13.W: John, what are you doing on your computer? Don't you remember your promise?

　　M: This is not a game. It's only a crossword puzzle. They help increase my vocabulary.

　　14.M: Do you still keep in touch with your parents regularly after all these years?

　　W: Yes, of course. I call them at weekends when the rates are down 50%.
