Conversation Two

W: Hello, Ultimate³ Computers. May I help you?

M: Yes, this is Jack Kordell from Hunter's Office Supplies. May I speak to Elaine Strong, please?

W: [23]I'm sorry, but she's not in right now.

M: Okay, do you know when she'll be back?

W: Uh, yes, she should be here later on this afternoon maybe about 4:30. May I take a message?

M: Yes. Ms. Strong sent me a brochure⁴ detailing your newest line of laptop⁵ computers with a description of other software products, [24]but there wasn't any information about after-sales service.

W: Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to fax that to you?

M: Yes, but our fax is being repaired at the moment, and it won't be working until around 2:30. Hum... could you try sending that information around 3:30? That should give me time to look over the material before I call Ms. Strong, say, around 5:00.

W: Sure. Could I have your name, telephone number, and fax number, please?

M: Yes. [25]Jack Kordell and the phone number is 560-1287. And the fax number is 560-1288.

W: Okay. Jack Kordell. Is your name spelled C-o-r-d-e-l?

M: No. [25]It's Kordell with a "K" and two "l". K-o-r-d-e-l-l.

W: All right, Mr. Kordell. And your phone number is 560-1287, and the fax number is 560-1288. Is that correct?

M: Yes, it is.

W: All right. I'll be sure to send you the fax this afternoon.

M: Okay, bye.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

23. Why can't Elaine Strong answer the phone?

正确答案：B

解析：对话中女士说她此刻不在办公室，故选B。本题具有鲜明but题的特征。预读选项知本题问“她”在干什么，如此便容易听到考点所在内容。

24. What does the man want the woman to send?

正确答案：C

解析：男士说，Strong女士给他寄了一些资料，但“没有任何有关售后服务的信息”，故C正确。解题关键是听辩对话中提到的项目，并注意区分，A、B、D为并列出现的项目，均不可作为答案。

25. What can we learn about the man?

正确答案：D

解析：对话中男士自报家门，说自己名叫Jack Kordell，电话560-1287，传真560-1288。故D正确。
