录音原文：

11

M: Mary, would you join me for dinner tonight?

W: You treated me last weekend. Now it's my turn. Shall we try something Italian?

 

12

W: Good afternoon. I'm calling to inquire² about the four-bedroom house you advertised in the newspaper.

M:I'm sorry, but it's already sold.

解析：

11. B 男士要求女士跟他一起吃晚饭，女士说“上周末你请了我，这次轮到我请你了”，说明这次女士要请男士吃饭，故B正确而D错误。女士说“我们尝尝意大利食品好吗？”这只是一个提议，并不是A所说的那样anxious。C将请客的人物颠倒了。

12. D 女士询问广告中的house的情况，男士说“sorry”,就应该预感到不妙，而关键是要抓住but后面的信息：“它（这套房子）已经售出”即D项“买不到了”。要想答对此题，不仅要听懂男士的话，而且要读懂选项：A项中的for rent意为“供租用”，for sale 意为“待售”；B有比较含义，对话中没有比较；C“在重新装修”，与原文信息无关。
