Q: What do we learn about Shawn?考試用書(shū)

答案：A. He is careless about his appearance.

M: I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.

Q: What does the man imply?

答案：A. Jane maybe caught in a traffic jam.

解析：本題是推理題，在做題時(shí)要注意仔細(xì)推敲。女生說(shuō)：“Jane已經(jīng)不是第一次遲到讓我們等了，我希望她能事先打電話(huà)告訴我們一下”，可見(jiàn)女生對(duì)Jane遲到的作法是不滿(mǎn)的。

男生又說(shuō)：“I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.”（我同意。但是她到這里的確要遭受很擁堵的交通。）由此得出，男生對(duì)此事的態(tài)度是理解或?qū)捜莸摹�Jane可能被堵在半路了。
