M： Hold on! If you want me to get a lot of things，make a list, or I’ll forget something.

答案解析

Conversation 6

1. A细节题。女士说需要a large tin( —大耀）速溶咖啡和a quarter pound(四分之一 磅）茶叶，即0.25磅茶叶，应选A。其他三个选项都不是茶叶的数量单位，听音时需注意区分。

2. C细节题。女士说cocoa还有很多，可见她不需要买，因此选项C正确。

3. D推断题。对话末尾，男士说“你好像今天什么东西都用完了……我觉得需要一个 卡车才能把你需要的东西带回家”。可断定答案是D“抱怨”。切忌一听到男士主动 询问是否需要带东西，就急于选择A;男士虽然抱怨女士要他带的东西太多，但他还 是会去买，故C不正确；男士并没有认为女士贪婪（要买很多东西和贪婪是两码事）， B项与对话不符，故错误。
