2. Never have(has) + 主语 + 过去分词 + ... 表示形容词的最高级含义。因此这句话的意思是说“此刻Michael最乐意与我们合作了。” or “Michael从来没象现在这样愿意与我们合作。” 即B。
否定词（半否定词），如 never, not, little, hardly, few, seldom, scarcely, barely等，及否定词短语如no sooner, under no circumstances, on no account 等常放句首，进行强调，语序则要倒装。

SECTION B CONVERSATION
10. M:“由于在路上我的车坏了，所以没能参加音乐会，非常对不起。”
F: “你免不了如此。”
can / could (not) + have done: 表示过去的可能(不可能)。
break down: 出毛病，坏掉。
本对话考F对M说的话的反应，听懂并掌握“cannot + help（避免不了，没办法，忍不住）”这一结构的意思，就不难看出她既没苛责，也没抱怨，只是表示很理解他当时的处境。因此C: 她安慰了他 最接近原文。
11. F: “你对Billy印象如何？”
M: “（我觉得）他既诚实又可靠，尤其是他特别勤奋。”
问题问M对Billy的印象，听懂M的回答就不难作出正确选择C了。
above all = most important of all, especially: 尤其重要的是，特别是
12. M：“你知道John在谈什么吗？”
F：“几乎不知道。他总喜欢说话兜圈子。”
为什么很难理解John呢？F的回答是解题的关键。答-案为D。
beat around the bush = beat about the bush: 不直截了当，说话兜圈子
13. F: “市里打算拆毁那些一层搂的房子，然后建造一个新的购物中心。”
M: “又是购物中心？没什么新鲜的。”
根据问题“M是什么意思”可知，关键的信息存在于M的回答中，而M的回答不能为书面选择提供直接的信息，因此不仅要理解字面的意义，而且要根据对话中的信息与语言环境，推断出M所表示的语气，才能得出正确答-案B。
14. M: “你晚饭想吃些什么？”
F: “我不喜欢海鲜，蛇也令我觉得恶心。只要一些炸鸡肉就行了。”
care for: 喜欢，照料
seafood: 海味，海产食品
... will do: ...就行，就过得去，就可以了
这是道细节测试题，F明确提出她不喜欢海鲜，蛇也令她恶心，根据常识，A: fish 属于海鲜，D: pork在文中没有提及，因此答-案只可能是C。
15. F: “请问，我想买些字典，在哪可以找到？”
M: “正常价格的在这边，在那边桌子上还有些特价的字典。”
这是道间接型的地点辩别题。常识告诉我们百货商店中是不卖书或字典的，根据F的问话, 选项A, B, C都有可能，而考虑到M的回答中的关键词price, on special，就不难把范围缩小，从而得出对话的发生地最有可能是B: 书店。
16. M: “我还需两个星期才能把我的研究项目中所需的所有数据收集齐。”
F: “好在直到学期末，才到最后期限。”
问题问应该何时完成研究项目。只要听懂F的回答并理解not...until (直到...才)的结构，就可直接回答了。答-案为C。

20. 测试时间长度的细节题。原文中的“the week old rebellion (一周之久的叛乱)”说明正确答-案应为B: 七天。
21. “do all except (but) ...” 是比较常见的出题形式。本题测试考生对新闻主要内容的理解。答-案为D。
22. 关于内容细节的测试题。C为正确答-案。
23. 测试有关时间的细节题。原文中 "three weeks before the deadline（离最后限期还有三周）"是理解本题的关键。答-案为A。
24. 测试时间的细节题。文中明确提到了"Sunday’s kidnapping"，因此答-案为A。
25. 测试谁是绑架者的细节题。虽然文中没明确提出是谁，但 "suspected Moslem extremists"可以提供些线索，有助于我们选出正确答-案C。

For one thing, more than half of the poor people are not qualified to work. / By law, children less than 16 years old can not work in many industries; / many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, / which is considered the normal retirement age./
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons. / Other poor people look for a job but can’t find one. / Many poor adults never went to high school. / Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
