点睛解析:在对话中,男士提到,纽约的市民很友好,即使在忙别的事情,他们也会很愿意帮助你的,所以选a。b“如果他们不知道的话,就会给你指一个错误的方向”,对话中男士说的是,如果他们不知道,他们会直接告诉你的,所以排除b;c“如果他们很忙,他们就不愿意为你指路”与文意不符;d“他们会把你送到目的地”,内容混淆,这里指的是日本的居民,而不是纽约的居民。

12whyisthensodepressed
答案:b
点睛解析:对话中,女士发现男士不太高兴,问男士出了什么事,男士说他有点沮丧,女士问为什么,男士说,他今天去银行,因为他日语不好,银行职员又不会说英语,所以无法和银行职员沟通。由此可知,选b。
13whatdidthengotodointhebank
答案:c
点睛解析:在对话中,女士问男士去银行做什么,男士说,他订了一张飞澳大利亚的机票,要把钱汇给旅行社,那家旅行社只接受一种付款方式。所以c“他想给旅行社转账”符合文意。选项a中的ret意为“汇款”。retabroad“向国外汇款”。
