录音原文:

W: Airports are sad places.
M: Sometimes, I guess. But we'll keep in touch and I'll fly over to see you all Christmas.

M: Are you going to return to your present job after the vacation?
W: No, I plan to graduate next semester. That means I will have to be a full-time student.
解析:
15. D 女士说机场是个让人伤心的地方,男士说“保持联系,圣诞节我会乘飞机去看你。”可知他们是要分别,而不是见面,故D正确而A错误。其实他们所说的“Airports are sad places.”“ keep in touch”和“I'll fly over to see you”都是典型的告别用语。对话中没有提到机场的服务,故B不正确,选项C是用Christmas一次来进行干扰。
16. C 女士否定了return to the present job,即stop working。另外,根据关键词full-time student“做一个全日制学生”,可知她将集中精力学习,不再工作,即concentrate on her studies。所以C是最全面的概括。短对话中,正确的选项常常是原话的同义表达(或概括)。选项A是利用简单原词进行干扰,而B项“辍学”,D项“找一份兼职工作”均与对话不服。
