1.

女：我那天遇到萨莉了。我几乎没认出来她。你还记得她高中时的样子吗？

男：嗯，我记得。她那时身材有些走样。她现在瘦了很多吗？

问：男人记得萨莉的什么事情？

答：out of shape身材走样，lose weight减肥，体重减轻，从男人话中能看出，萨利当年有些胖，因此正确答案为C，她当时有些胖。A，她过去身体不好，B，她非常受男生的欢迎，D，她高中时学习不好，均未在对话中涉及。

2.

女：先生，不好意思，我们这里并没有您的预约记录。

男：可是我秘书说她在这里订了个房间。今天早上，我上飞机前在机场给她打电话时确认的。

问：对话最可能发生在什么地方？

答：对话中提到预约房间，男人又说他早上上飞机前跟秘书打过电话，可以推断出男人应该是出差，让秘书给他订的酒店房间，因此正确答案为D，酒店接待处。A，机场，男人早上时在机场，然后上了飞机，所以A项可以排除。B，在餐厅，对话中提到订了个房间，而不是在餐厅订位。C，在售票处，如果是在售票处，就不涉及预约的问题了，因此排除。
