M: The food in this restaurant is horrible³. If only we'd gone to the school dining⁴ hall.

W: But the food isn't everything. Isn't it nice just to get away from all the noise?

Q: What can we learn from the conversation⁵?

正确答案：A

解析：but转折题。本题关键在于听懂But后面的语义：“饭菜好坏不是（我们在乎的）一切”，特别是反问句“哪怕只是远离噪音不也很好吗？”说明女士承认餐饮里的饭菜不好，但是地方很安静，故A正确而C错误。

14.

W: Can I help you, sir?

M: Yes, can you show me the way to Gate 9 for Flight⁶ 901 to Hong Kong? I am quite confused⁷ here.

Q: Where does the conversation most probably⁸ take place?

正确答案：D

解析：本题关键在于听到“gate（检票口）”和“flight（航班）”这两个地点标志词。男士想知道901航班的9号检票口怎么走，可见是在机场，故选D。
