　　W： (3) Did you have a good time last weekend?

　　M： Yes，I did. (1) I visited some friends in Pennsylvania. They live in a small town called Canonsburg.

　　W： That must have been interesting. I’ve never been in a small town—just big cities.

　　M： Neither have I.

　　W ： What did you do?

　　M： There isn't as much to do there as is here. No plays or concerts, that is，people make their own entertainment, though.

　　W ; What do you mean?

　　M： Well, Saturday we went to a potluck supper.

　　W ： A potluck supper? What’s that?

　　M： The whole neighborhood has a party. Everybody brings something. It’s all put on the table and you can eat whatever you like. That is a potluck supper.

　　W： It’s something like a picnic, isn’t it?

　　M： Well, yes. The weather was warm, so we had this one outdoors. But in winter they have them indoors too.

　　W： What else did you do?

　　M： (2) Sunday we went for a drive. We had lunch at a drive-in.

　　W： Is the countryside interesting?

　　M： Beautiful farmland. You'd like it.

　　W： I’m sure I would.

　　M： Sunday evening some people came for dinner. It was very informal—we just sat around and talked. Just a nice Sunday night supper.

　　W： That’s the kind of evening I like. I don't care for a formal dinner so much.

　　M： Neither do I.

　　答案解析

　　Conversation 7

　　1. A事实细节题。本题的难度不大，一开始男士就介绍说：“我去拜访了宾西法尼亚 的几位朋友，他们住在一个叫Canonsburg的小城镇里。”因此正确选项很容易就能找 到是A项，B、C和D三项均属原词干扰。虽然文中出现picnic, concert和formal dinner,但这三个选项都没有正确表达甚至误传原文的意思。另外，B、C和D项也不 能全面回答该提问。

　　2. C细节判断题。对话中出现了很多关于活动安排的词，但是选择时我们要注意他 们对应的时间是否和题干一致。选项A迷惑性较大，因为关于potluck占了对话一 定的比重，但它确切举行的时间是Saturday;而且potluck supper是晚餐，不可能发生 在早晨;对话中也没有提及是否是在室内，错误较多。对话中男士有这样一句话应该 成为我们判断的依据，他说：“周日我们驾车兜风。在一家免下车的饭馆吃中午饭。” 根据正常的说话习惯，我们可判定驾车应该发生在午饭之前，即早晨，因此选C项。

　　3. A主旨大意题。尽管这段对话不是在讨论对某个问题或现象的理解或解释，但是 依旧还存在一个核心的话题，即上个周末生活的安排和度过的情况。这类题目的解 答方法之一是注意对话的开头。本段对话一开始的提问就提示其主题，正确选项应 该是A。其他选项只涉及对话的某部分或者是根据对话的一些推断，比较片面，不能 成为正确选项。
