　　17.W : Can you believe the way Larry was talking to his roommate? No wonder they dont get along.

　　M : Well, maybe Larry was just reacting to something his roommate said. There are two sides to every story you know.

　　譯文與解析：

　　17.A) They are both to blame.

　　女：你知道勞瑞用什么口氣跟他的室友說話嗎?如果知道的話就能理解為什么他們相處不融洽了。

　　男：好吧，也許他只是在跟反擊他室友所說的話。你要知道，一個巴掌拍不響。

　　問：關于勞瑞和他的室友，對話中的男人是什么意思?

　　答：一個巴掌拍不響，自然是說相處不融洽是由于雙方都有過錯。所以正確答案應該為A：兩個人都有過錯。

　　18.A.)They are in desperate need of financial assistance.

　　男：我們沒有足夠的資金來對付收購者，除非有奇跡發生，否則我們就等著盡頭來臨吧。

　　女：我覺得向銀行貸款可以解決我們的燃眉之急，畢竟我們所需要的資金并不多。

　　問：從這段對話中，我們能夠了解到什么?

　　答：從對話中的 the end of us 可以理解為他們面臨嚴重的困境，而下一段女人說可以向銀行借錢解決問題，可以推測出是他們的資金鏈出了問題，也就是說，面臨嚴重的財政危機，需要緊急救助。
