英语专四 会话训练 Conversation 5-2

 会话

Questions 4 to 6 are based¹ on the following conversation.

W： (4) So where do you think we should go for dinner this anniversary²? We were really enjoying ourselves last year. Why don’t we go to the same restaurant?

M： Well, I think we should go somewhere different this year.

W： Yes, but last year’s restaurant is really good. A new place might not be as successful.

M： I agree that it was a good restaurant. You know, it’s always nice to go somewhere new.

W： (5) I also think that we should choose a Chinese restaurant again—they are usually much bigger than Western restaurants and there are only a few people in the company who are not Chinese.

M： What you say about the size of the restaurant and the fact that most of our staff³ are Chinese is absolutely⁴ true. However，it will get a bit boring going back to the same restaurant each year.

W ： I’m not saying we should go back there every year. We’ve only been there once before, so I don’t think you’ll be bored with it.

M： Mm, I know. Maybe we could try a new restaurant this year and go back there again next year.

W： Well, maybe you have a point. But next year...

M： (6) I know next year it’s up to you. You know what? I find a new French restaurant.

答案解析

Conversation 5

4.  A主旨题。虽然他们一直在争论到哪里去吃饭，但C项并非答案，争论的目的不是 为了探究最好的用餐风格。A项看似一笔带过，其实是原因所在。B属于只言片语 的干扰。D与对话无关，且二人观点不一致，可以排除。

5. D细节题。女士和男士争论时给出了两个理由：一是那家中餐厅比西餐厅大；二是 公司里中国员工居多。A、B两项对话中没有谈到，可以排除；C项看似正确，其实不 然，女士只是说公司里非中国人很少，而不是指饭店里人很少。因此只有选项D 正确。

6. B推断题。男士坚持今年去新开的法式餐厅聚餐，并以“明年你来决定”作为交换 条件。女士一直想去原来那家中国饭店，今年没有去成，明年很有可能会去。因此 答案为B。
