录音原文：

1.

M: Did you check the power plug¹ and press the play button?

W: Yes. The power indicator² was on and it was running. But somehow the sound didn't come through.

2.

M: Joanna, I'm awfully³ sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Shall we have a beer and forget the whole thing?

W: OK, we can drop it this time, but don't do it again!

解析：

1. A 关键是要抓住核心词“电源插头”power plug，播放键（the play button）和声音（sound）,与这三者最有关系的自然是录音机，即A。照相机和打字机都与对话中的“播放键”和“声音”无直接关联，故可排除B和C项。至于汽车，却又无对话中所提及的“电源插头”，故D也不正确。

2. D 很明显男士在道歉：“对不起，我并无意伤害你。”mean to do sth.意思是“意欲或打算做某事”，hurt指“伤害感情”。故可知答案为D。女士说，“好吧，这次就算了，下不为例”，说明她接受了道歉，故排除A，选项B错在动词appreciated；男士提议喝点啤酒，把这件事忘掉，是求和的意思，C为原文断章取义的干扰项。
