　　听力对话部分简评：

　　这次听力对话考查比较灵活，直接信息考查不多，需要简单推理的言外之意考查较多。

　　下面是对话部分原文和选项，对照一下，正确答案就很清楚了。此处简单分析一下解题的关键。

　　1. M: I think the hostess really went out of her way to make the party a success.

　　W: Yes, the food and drinks were great, but if only we had known a few of the other guests.

　　Q: What did the two speakers say about the party?

　　1. A) They went a long way to attend the party.

　　B) They didnt think much of the food and drinks.

　　C) They knew none of the other guests at the party.

　　D) They enjoyed the party better than the other guests.

　　第1题里的虚拟语气if only we had known a few of the other guests，表达了与过去事实相反的情况，要是当时认识几个其他客人就好了。问题的答案就是过去的事实，那就是他们不认识聚会上的其他客人。

　　2. M: Can you stop by the post office and get me some envelopes and 39 cents stamps?

　　W: Well, I am not going to stop by the post office, but I can buy you some at the bookstore after I see the dentist on Market street.

　　Q: Where will the woman go first?

　　2. A) To the bookstore.

　　B) To the dentists.

　　该题考查对话中动作信息的顺序问题，要求考生记住所有动作的内容，然后记住提到的顺序。同类考题是对话双方提及多个信息(如多个时间)，然后随机考查其中某个具体信息。
