解析
问题为What do we learn about the woman's store? 关于女士的商店,我们了解到了什么?由对话前段女士的回答We're the only record store in London dedicated exclusively to Jazz可知,这家商店是伦敦唯一一家只提供爵士商品的。B项“赞助主要爵士音乐会”、 D项“展示新音乐人才”都与原文意思不符,需注意分辨。C项“在伦敦有几家分支”在文中并未提到。因此选A。Q.2- A. It originated with cowboys.
- B. Its market has now shrunk.
- C. Its listeners are mostly young people.
- D. It remains as widespread as hip hop music.
解析
问题为What does the man say about Jazz music? 关于爵士乐,男士说了什么?对话中男士在谈到爵士乐时,说到there's not much of a Jazz scene anymore; Not like they used to be,就可知,他意指现在很少听到爵士乐了。女士而后也附和表示同意,且说到It's just a much smaller market today,即指目前爵士乐市场要小得多。由此可以推断,男士的看法就是爵士乐市场大不如从前。 B项符合,shrink(过去式shrunk)表“缩小,收缩”。其它三项与原文不符。因此选B。Q.3- A. Its definition is varied and complicated.
- B. It is still going through experimentation.
- C. It is frequently accompanied by singing.
- D. Its style has remained largely unchanged.
解析
问题为What does the woman say about Jazz? 女士对爵士乐有何评价?对话后段,女士明确谈到there's no agreed upon definition of Jazz; there are many different styles of Jazz, some have singing, but most don't;Some contain live experimentation, but not always; there's no simple definition for it。可知,在她看来,爵士乐的定义还未达成共识,目前没有普通单一的定义。它有多种不同风格,并非总是包含演唱成分,也并非总是包含现场表演。由此推断B、C、D项都不符,仅A项符合,即它的定义是多样且复杂的。因此选A。Q.4- A. Learn to play them.
- B. Take music lessons.
- C. Listen to them yourself.
- D. Consult jazz musicians.
解析
问题为What should you do to appreciate different styles of Jazz according to the woman?根据女士的话,你要怎么做才能欣赏不同风格的爵士乐?倒数第二句,女士说到the only way to know what Jazz is, is to listen to it yourself,可知据她看来,要了解爵士乐,唯一的方法就是去听。C项意思符合,而其他三项都与原文不符。因此选C。 -

问题为Why was the woman's proposal rejected? 女士的提议为什么被拒绝了?由原文they said my credit history was not good enough可知,被拒的一个原因是银行工作人员认为女士的信用记录不是很好。B项符合。而其它三项“之前的债务没有清算”、“要求过多”、“没有及时偿还贷款”在对话中并未提到。因此选B。Q.7- A. Pay a debt long overdue.
- B. Buy a piece of property.
- C. Start her own business.
- D. Check her credit history.
解析
问题为What is the woman planning to do? 女士打算做什么?从男士的话Your business idea is amazing. Did you show them your business plan? 就可以推断,女士向银行展示了自己的商业计划,打算开始创业。“还清逾期已久的债务”、“购买资产”、“核对信用记录”都不是女士打算做的。因此选C。Q.8- A. Seek advice from an expert about fundraising.
- B. Ask for smaller loans from different lenders.

- D. Revise her business proposal carefully.
解析
问题为What does the man suggest the woman do? 男士建议女士做什么?男士给女士的建议是Maybe you could gather capital from other sources, smaller loans from more lenders,即指向更多的放款人申请小额贷款,B项与其相符。“寻求专家的筹款建议”、“一步步建立自己的资产”、“修改提议”都不是男士的建议。因此选B。Questions 9-11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
