Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following conversation.

M： It’s Chinese New Year’s Eve tonight. Let’s go and watch a movie, shall we?

W： (1) It will be very late by the time we finish our dinner.

M： Let’s see a midnight show then.

W ： Good idea!

M： What kind of movie are you fond of?

W： Well, I feel like watching something romantic this evening. Do you still remember the movie we watched this Christmas Eve? Until now I am not fully¹ aware why we chose that one. Today, I’m in the mood for something more gentle for a happy new year. What about you?

M： (2) I agree that last few movies have been a bit too violent—especially the movie for our Christmas, but romantic movies might be the last thing I want to watch. A bit of action will be very exciting. How about watching Titanic²? It’s a love story, but there is plenty of action as well.

W： It’s indeed a romance³. However, I’ve seen it many times. So I don’t think I’d enjoy watching it once more. What else is there to watch?

M： There’s The Lord⁴ of the Rings. It owns a lot of awards and I，ve been wanting to see it for ages.

W： Yes, many people gave it the thumbs up after they walked out of the cinema. However, (3) It’s somewhat⁵ violent as well，isn’t it? So, why not watch it next weekend instead of tonight?

M： Oh, it seems that we can only have the romantic comedy left. I enjoy comedies and you want something romantic. What about this kind?

W： Perfect! That is ideal⁶ for the Spring Festival.

答案解析

Conversation 5

1. C细节题。男士提出去看电影，女士说我们吃完饭后时间就比较晚了，于是男士提 议看午夜场。女士表示赞同。即在午夜之前，他们需要吃晚餐，没时间看电影，故 选C。

2.  A推断题。女士说今晚想要看带有浪漫色彩的电影，因为最近看的几部电影都跟 暴力有关。由此可知，她常去看电影，因此A项正确。C项与事实不符，她看了几遍 的是Titanic。喜欢喜剧的是男士，D项也错误。女士希望在除夕夜看比较温和的电 影，并非排斥暴力因素，否则也不会连看几部带这种色彩的电影了，故B项错误。

3. B细节题。D项毫无逻辑，只不过从原文中硬摘了一句walk out of the cinema,显 然不对。《指环王》是说话人具体提到的最后一部电影，人们对影片本身的评价都很 高（a lot of awards, thumbs up),故A项也错误。C项是结果而不是原因，原文中也没有with her friends的依据。however —词引出女士对《指环王》的评价 也带暴力色彩，这就不符合她今晚对影片内容的要求。故答案为B。
