　　录音原文:

　　15.

　　M: Hurry, theres a bus coming.

　　W: Why run? There will be another one in two or threeminutes.

　　16.

　　M: Wow, thats a big assignment weve got for the English class.

　　W: Well, its not as bad as it looks. It isnt due until Thursday morning.

　　解析：

　　15. A 关键在于听明白another one中的one代替的是前面的bus,两三分钟后还会来一辆公交车。Why do sth. 是不主张做某事的表达。B，C均与对话内容无关;D项错在this,应该是the next。

　　16. D 关键在于听懂比较结构not as bad as it looks不想看上去那么糟以及not due until直到......才到期。说明作业不难，而且时间充裕，因此选D。A正好把难度颠倒;B中的too difficult也不对;作业的上缴日期截止到星期四，但这并不等于C他们直到截止日才能完成，故C不正确。
