录音原文：

1.

M: Jack seems to think that this year's basketball season will be disappointing.

W: This is his opinion. Most others think differently.

2.

M: Is this the check-in counter for flight 914 to Los Angeles?

W: Yes, but I'm sorry the flight is delayed because of a minor³ mechanical problem. Please wait for further notice.

解析：

1. A 关键是要听到女士的第2句话“大多数人跟他的想法不一样”，由此可推出A“她跟杰克的想法不同”，排除D“她跟杰克的想法一样”，另一解题小窍门：四个选项中若有两个选项属于矛盾关系，即语义上相矛盾，二者不能同时为真命题，那么正确答案常常来自由矛盾关系的一组选项之中。

2. D 关键在于抓听but后面的信息“航班推迟了......请等待下一步的通知。”由此可推断航班起飞时间未知，即D“不知航班的离港时间”。A与事实相反；由于航班延误，因此男士并没有错过登机，B不正确；男士的航班号是914，并不是说航班的离港时间是9:14,故C不正确。
