　　男：祝賀你，我聽說你們的棒球隊將要參加亞特蘭大中部地區(qū)冠軍爭奪賽了。

　　女：是呀，我們現在正緊鑼密鼓地練習呢!

　　問：這個女人所在的球隊正在做什么?

　　答：對話開頭男生提到女生所在的棒球隊要參加Mid-AtlanticChampionship.女生說：“we're all working real hard right now!”(我們現在正緊鑼密鼓地練習呢!)由此可知，女生所在的棒球隊正在進行賽前訓練。

　　此題還有一個迷惑選項B, Making preparations for a trans-Atlantic trip,必須注意的是：這里并不是準備旅行，而是準備參賽。

　　14.

　　D) He has been having a hard time.

　　女：約翰正在醫(yī)院里照顧他媽媽，她在兩個周前的一次交通事故中受了傷，現在情況依然不容樂觀。

　　男：哦，那太可怕了，你知道，他父親去年去世了。

　　問：關于約翰，我們能了解到什么?

　　答案：解析：根據聽力原文可知，“John's mother is in the hospital and his father died last year.”(約翰的母親出車禍住院了，父親兩年前也過世了)由此可見，John的近況還是蠻悲慘的;答案也就顯而易見了。
