B)Jane should have started a little earlier.

C)He knows what sort of person Jane is.

D)He is irritated at having to wait for Jane.

答案

11.A) He is careless about his appearance.

男：肖恩这家伙已经找了好几个月的工作了，不过我他那个样子找不到工作也属正常。

女：哦，那小子。他应该至少每隔一天刮一下胡子，然后穿的像样一点。

问：从这段对话中我们了解到肖恩的什么信息？

答：男生首先对肖恩能否找到工作表示怀疑，因为他邋遢。女生接着提到肖恩不修边幅，又说他应该每隔一天刮一次胡子，把自己弄得整洁干净一点。由此可知，肖恩是一个对仪容仪表不太注重，比较粗线条的人shave，刮胡子；be careless about不在乎，不介意。

12.A) Jane maybe caught in a traffic jam.

女：我希望简能够在知道自己要迟到的时候打个电话过来，这已经不是第一次我们傻等她了。

男：我知道，但是她到这儿来的路上确实很堵。

问：这个男人的话是什么意思？

答：本题是推理题，在做题时要注意仔细推敲。女人说：“Jane已经不是第一次迟到让我们等了，我希望她能事先打电话告诉我们一下”，可见女生对Jane迟到的作法是不满的。这时候男人说：“I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.”（我同意。但是她到这里的确要遭受很拥堵的交通。）由此得出，男生对此事的态度是理解或宽容的。Jane可能被堵在半路了。
