　　17.

　　W: Hello, is that Steve? Im stuck in a traffic jam. Im afraid I cant make it before 7 oclock.

　　M: Never mind. Ill be here waiting for you.

　　18.

　　M: You really seem to enjoy your literature class.

　　W: You are right. It has opened a new world for me. Im expected to the thoughts of some of the worlds best writer. Ive never read so much in my life.

　　解析：

　　17. B 关键是要听到 7 oclock和waiting for you。女士说交通堵塞，恐怕7点之前赶不到男士那里了;男士说没关系，我会在这里等你。很显然，他们约好7点见面。B正确。男士说他会等待女士到来，故A,D都不正确。对话中的jam表示交通堵塞而不是果酱，make it在对话中意为及时抵达而不是制作，故C错误。

　　18. A 话题是literature class，关键句是never read so much从来没读过这么多书，说明A正确。B错在written;C错在met,对话中的be exposed to the thoughts表示接触思想，而不是独到这些人;D是利用个别原词进行干扰。
