12. M: Excuse me, I heard that there were a couple of jobs available in the library. So I'd like to apply for one of them. Can I fill out the application form at home and bring it back next week?
W: Sure, but you should know that we're about to start looking at the applications, and we hope to make some job offers in a few days.
Q: What does the woman imply?
【解析】选[B]。男士问女士他能不能把工作申请表带回家去填，下周再交回来。女士说他们打算开始浏览工作申请并希望再近几天内发出几份录用通知。女士说的but you should know that...表示提醒，可见她是想暗示男士尽早把申请表交上来，以免失去机会。
13. M: That's a great dress, Cindy. I don't think I've ever seen you wear it before.
W: Oh, I have. It's just that it's sent back to my closet. My sister gave it to me like ages ago and I totally forgot about it.
Q: What does the woman imply?
【解析】选[A]。ages ago意为"很久以前"，结合it's sent back to my closet和I totally forgot about it可推知女士已经好久没穿这件衣服了，因此选[A]。
14. W: Well, did you manage to get information from Professor Baker? When are our results coming in?
M: Well she was a bit tight-lipped about it.
Q: What can be inferred about Professor Baker?
【解析】选[B]。tight-lipped意为"嘴巴紧的"，指对某事保密、不愿透露消息。由she was a bit tight-lipped about it可知，Professor Baker不愿意就考试成绩的事多说(not willing to say much)。
15. W: Who do you believe? James says Leon has been backstabbing him, but Leon claims he's innocent. It'll be hard for them to reconcile if this mess continues.
M: Well, It could be best to talk to both of them and see what lies underneath. There are two sides to every story you know.
Q: What does the man infer?
【解析】选[C]。It could be best to...表示建议。talk to both of them and see what lies underneath表明男士认为需要进一步了解情况(deeper investigation)才能弄清整件事情的是非曲直(right and wrongs of this issue)。
16. W: Did you watch the game last night?
M: I wouldn't have missed it for anything!
Q: What can we infer from the man's reply?
【解析】选[C]。I wouldn't have missed it for anything意思是"我不会因为任何事情而错过它"，由此推测，男士应该很喜欢并观看了昨晚的比赛。[C]项正确。
17. W: Mike is very good at electrical appliances. You should get him to take a look and see if he can do something about it.
M: Yeah, I will. But let me check and see if it's still under warranty.
Q: What will the man probably do?
【解析】选[A]。女士建议男士找Mike帮忙修理电器，男士说他要先看看是不是还在保修期内(if it's still under warranty)。保修期内的商品是可以免费维修的(be fixed for free)，因此选项[A]正确。
18. W: Wednesdays are going to be busy days for me next semester. Three class in the morning and then two more in the afternoon. I won't even have time for lunch.
M: You really should try to fit it in, you know. Those afternoon classes would be tough to sit through with empty stomach.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman should do?
【解析】选[B]。解答此题的关键是明确男士话中fit it in 的含义：it指代lunch，fit it in指make time for lunch，即他建议女士再忙也要抽时间吃午饭。另外由be tough to sit through with empty stomach也可以推知答案。
