Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

参考译文：

男：亨利是自己粉刷的整间房子吗？

女：他找人粉刷的房子，因为他不喜欢爬梯子。

问：我们能从对话中得知什么信息？

答案解析：

正确答案为B。have sth. done这里表示请/让别人做某事；对话中，男子问是亨利自己粉刷的房屋吗，女子回答说是他请人来粉刷的，因此可知B项正确，是别人粉刷的房屋。A，亨利不喜欢那个颜色，对话中未涉及到颜色，排除。C，房子里没有梯子，对话中提到亨利不喜欢爬梯子才没有自己粉刷，可见房子里是有梯子的，因此C项不符，排除。D，亨利自己粉刷的房屋，对话中表明是亨利找别人来粉刷的，因为他不喜欢爬梯子，因此D项不符，排除。

2.

W: Look at that big field of cotton. And there's a farm with some beautiful houses.

Q: Where did the conversation most probably take place?

男：只有在坐火车旅行的时候，你才能好好欣赏这个国家，对吧？

问：对话最可能发生在什么地方？

答案解析：

正确答案为D。对话中可知女子让男子看外面美丽的景色，而男子则说只有坐火车旅行才能好好欣赏这个国家，可推知，二人正在乘火车，因此D项正确。A，棉花田，C，农场，是二人在火车上看到的地方，二人并没有在那里，排除。B，火车站，对话中可知，二人已经在火车上了，因此B项排除。
