答案解析

Conversation 8

1.  B细节题。当被问到是不是来公干时，男士说“我是来度假的”。因此B正确。

2. D细节归纳题。对话中出现最多的词都是有关于食物的，例如：food, Western food, dim sum,restaurant,Asian cuisine等等，所以我们可以知道食物是他们讨论的主题， 为什么要讨论这点，原因自然是食物给James留下了深刻的印象，所以选D项。

3. B态度判断题。从对话中我们可以知道James非常喜欢亚洲的食物，那么他就不 可能反对在旅游时尝试新的东西。对话中他用shame“遗憾的”来表示对不尝试当地 食物的态度，但是我们要注意D选项中shameful表示是“不体面的”，千万不能被近 音词所蒙蔽。所以正确答案应该是B项而不是D项。
