英语四级听力-短对话 243

 15.

A. To a lamp store.

B. To a hardware store.

C. To the electric shop.

D. To a bookstore.

16.

A. Take the GRE test again in 8 weeks.

B. Call to check his scores.

C. Be patient and wait.

D. Inquire when the test scores are released.

15.

W: What have you got there?

M: It's my sun lamp. I'm taking it down to the electric shop to be fixed¹. There's something wrong with the wiring. It blows fuses whenever I plug it in.

Q: Where is the man going?

正确答案：C

解析：女士问：“你手里拿的是什么？”男士回答：“这是我的太阳灯，我要拿它去电器店修理。……”因此男士是要去electric shop，C正确。由选项“to+地点名词”的结果看，本题问说话人去什么地方。男士说的“It's my sun lamp.”使得A具有一定的迷惑性。

16.

M: I haven't got my scores on the GRE test yet. Do you think I should call to make inquiries²?

W: There is no hurry. The test scores are released at least 8 weeks after the test.

Q: What does the woman advise the man to do?

正确答案：C

解析：关键是要听到女士说“别着急（There is no hurry）”，继而解释成绩至少要在考试后8周才能公布，意思就是要男士耐心等待，故C正确。A、D均是对女士第2句话的曲解，故均不正确；B是男士打算做的事。
