Model Test 7Section Al. M: Now, I'm going to start off by asking you a difficult question. Why would you like to get this post?W: Well, first of all I know that your firm has a very good reputation. Then I've heard you offer good opportunities for promotion for the right person.Q: What do we learn from this conversation?(C) 这个对话中的关键信息很多，因此只要抓住其中一个就可以了，比如Why would you like to get this post？从这个问句中就可以得出答案C。

2. W: It's certainly very busy here today, isn't it?M: Yes, and there aren't enough salesgirls. We have been standing here for at least five minutesQ: Where does this conversation most likely take place?(C) 在这个对话中，关键词是salesgirls(售货员)，因此可以判断地点应该是商场。

3. W: I like these glasses very much, but they look like they would be quite expensive.M: Yes. They're $15 a piece or $150 a dozen. Actually that's not very expensive.Q: How much do two glasses cost?(B) 做这道题要进行简单的运算。

从对话中得知，一个杯子15美元，而一打(12个)为150美元。

但是如果只买两个的话，应该还是按每个15美元算。

因此两个的价格应该为30美元。

4. M: What's the matter with Tom? He has seemed so sad these days.W: He's got so many bills to pay that his wife said they would never make ends meet.Q: What do we learn from this conversation?(D) 本对话中Tom感到不高兴是与他的账单有关。

女士的话是由so...that引导的一个带有结果状语从句的复合句，意思是好像Tom挣的钱永远也不够付清他的账单。

make ends meet是收支平衡的意思。

因此最符合题意的应该是D。
