Questions 6 to 8 are based on the conversation you've heard.

6.How many stories does Mary's house have？

【答案】B

【解析】信息明示题。我们注意到4个选项都是数词，因此在听音时应当特别注意对话中的数词。本题提问“玛丽家的房子有几层？”玛丽在对话中提到at first，...onestory house（开始时……一层楼的房子……），实际上根据这个信息就可以排除A选项；再根据男士提问“Do you mean you are now living in a two-story house？”（你的意思是说你现在住在两层楼房子里吗？），而玛丽的回答是yes，由此可知玛丽家的房子是两层的。

7.What kind of plant do Mary and her husband like to grow？

【答案】C

【解析】信息明示题。本题提问“玛丽和她的丈夫喜欢种植何种植物？”对话中出现了一个关于植物的单词flowers，对话最后玛丽又提到了喜欢爱院里种植玫瑰，因此选择C。

8.Where do they grow them？

【答案】A

【解析】信息明示题。本题问“他们在哪种花？”，根据对话中的最后一句“We like to have roses in the yard”，故选A。

Conversation 2

W：May I help you，sir？

M：Yes，could you show me some shirts？Size 15，please.

W：All right，sir.How about this one，it's a new style.

M：Oh，that must be the one I saw advertised in the paper.

W：Yes，that's right.

M：Would you tell me price？

W：10 dollars for one，and 17 dollars for 2.

M：All right，I'll take 2.

W：Anything else，sir？

M：I may need some ties to match the shirts，but my birthday is next week and I may get same from my children.

Questions 9 and 10 are based on the conversation you've heard.

9.How much did the man pay for the shirts he bought？

【答案】D

【解析】信息明示题。本题提问这位男士花了多少钱买衬衫，根据售货员说的话“10 dollars for one，and 17 dollars for 2”（10元一件，17元两件），后面男士说：“I'll take 2.”（我买两件），可见男士一共花了17元。从做题技巧来说，4个选项中A选项70和其他三个选项的数字相差太大，应当首先排除；再者D和A发音相似，因此我们分析这4个选项就基本可确定，正确答案是D。

10.Why didn't the man buy any ties？

【答案】C

【解析】信息明示题。根据对话最后男士的阐述，我们可知他不买领带的原因在于下周是他的生日，他的子女可能会送一些领带作为他的生日礼物，故选C。
