12.
M: I’m thinking about where to go for a bite tonight. Any suggestions, Barbara?
W: Well, how about the French restaurant near the KFC? Frankly, I’ve had enough of our canteen food.
Q: What do we learn about the woman?
本题考察的典型建议类句型的用法，我们在动作题类型中讲过。 建议类句型的答案有两种：
1. 一般等于建议类句型的同意转述;
2. 如问目前的状态，答案等于与建议的相反的事实。
本题女士说何不去法餐厅呢，其实本意就是女士想去，答案应该很明显。
13,
W: Hey, if you can’t enjoy the music at a sensible volume, why not use earphones? I’m preparing for the speech contest.
M: Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize I’ve being bothering you all this time.
Q: What is the man probably doing?
13题依然考察的是建议类，与12题区别是问题形式不同而已。大家听到why not，一定想到我们在课程中讲过此句话等于you should do sth。 既然女士说你为什么不用耳机呢， 现实情况就是男士没用。由此可以看出建议类句型的两种答案形式均考到。
14.
M: Finally, I’ve got the chance to put on my new suit tonight. I hope to make a good impression on your family.
W: Come on! It’s only a family reunion. So jeans and T-shirts are just fine.
Q: What does the woman mean?
听到14题，大家应该记得，在我们总结听力做题方法的时候讲过原因题的做法。其最为经典的关键词就是because和so。答案一般等于because和so后方的句子的同意和反义转述。
此题说这仅仅是个家庭聚会，所以牛仔裤和体恤就可以了。牛仔裤和体恤就相当于不那么正式，也就是随便的意思。答案也就不难选出。
15.
M: Would you like to see those pants in brown and navy blue? These two colors are coming in this season.
W: Oh, actually grey is my favourite color, but I prefer something made from cotton, 100% cotton I mean.
Q: What is the woman looking for?
15题是典型的转折题考点，同样我们在四级听力考题类型分析中重点讲过but题型。一般答案出现在but的后方。本题最为简单。
16.
W: From here, the mountains look as if you could just reach out and touch them.
M: That’s why I chose this lodge. It has one of the best views in Switzerland.
16题中的that’s why 我们在短文听力中专门讲过，此句型出现一般有两个考点：
1. that’s why的前方
2. that’s why的后方
本题的答案看似不那么明显，但是that’s why的前方告诉大家此位置不错，后面男士就说这就是为什么选择的原因。 综合得出的结论就是男士之所以选择此处，完全是因为位置好。
Q: What is the man’s chief consideration in choosing the lodge?
17.
M: What do I have to do to apply for a passport?
W: You need proof of citizenship, either an old passport or a birth certificate and three photographs. Then you must complete this form and pay a fee.
本题出现了很多情态动词，我们在短对话中讲过，情态动词是解题的关键。 答案一般等于情态动词后方的句子。 我们关注下此题情态动词后的词语特征不难理解，护照，身份证，照片，填表等等都是需要做的事情。我们很容易想到男士貌似是需要办理护照。由此，答案应该很容易得出。
Q: What is the man most probably going to do?
18.
M: Miss, can I interest you in a pork special with serving tonight? It’s only 799, half the usual price and it’s very tasty.
W: Oh really? I will try it.
Q: What does the man say about the dish?
18题是典型的同意替换。Half price就相当于便宜。女士之所以选择完全是因为此。
通过今天的考题分析，大家应该明白一个道理，四级听力题型不论怎样变化，基本做题方法不会有大的改变。一定要重视基础。
