　　13.

　　M: Did you check the power plug and press the play button?

　　W: Yes. The power indicator was on and it was running. But somehow the sound didnt come through.

　　14.

　　M: Joanna, Im awfully sorry. I didnt mean to hurt you. Shall we have a beer and forget the whole thing?

　　W: OK, we can drop it this time, but dont do it again!

　　解析：

　　13. A 关键是要抓住核心词电源插头power plug，播放键和声音,与这三者最有关系的自然是录音机，即A。照相机和打字机都与对话中的播放键和声音无直接关联，故可排除B和C项。至于汽车，却又无对话中所提及的电源插头，故D也不正确。

　　14. D 很明显男士在道歉：对不起，我并无意伤害你。mean to do sth.意思是意欲或打算做某事，hurt指伤害感情。故可知答案为D。女士说，好吧，这次就算了，下不为例，说明她接受了道歉，故排除A，选项B错在动词appreciated;男士提议喝点啤酒，把这件事忘掉，是求和的意思，C为原文断章取义的干扰项。
