Part One
Warm Up
Dialogue 1
A和B在商量去何处撮饭，A建议去“汉堡王”吃快餐，但B说去一个豪华餐厅。
A: ⑴What do you say we stop in at that ⑵Burger King over there and *grab a bite?
B: ⑶Forget it! If you think I’d ever set foot that inferior restaurant again, you ⑷gotta be nuts. Last time I ate that food, almost vomited. The service ⑸in there is terrible. It was the first time I ever ⑹stiffed a waiter
A: Yeah, *not seeing a single person anywhere informed me. Hey! How about that one over there?
B: Oh, ⑺give me a break! That place is too ⑻lavish for us.
A: ⑼Easy. ⑽It’s on me.
B: *In that case, I’m right behind you.
Dialogue 2
A决定搬出宿舍，另租公寓，因为他不能忍受校园餐厅的饭菜。
A: I don’t think I can take another semester of this dorm food.
B: ⑴I know what you mean, it leaves a lot to be desired.
A: Sure, like taste, variety, ⑵nutritional value, what I should do is move into an apartment off ⑶campus where I can cook for myself.
B: Have you found anything yet?
A: You know how hard it is to find a decent place at this time of year?
B: *You should be able to find something comfortable in town, though that would be kind of far from school.
A: I got a car, so the distance wouldn’t really be a problem.
B: But the ⑷parking might be.
A: ⑸You bet!
Dialogue 3
Kathleen正在等约会的网友， Joe 来了，但她不知道Joe正是这个网友，她很不愿意和Joe纠缠。
Joe: Kathleen Kelly. Hello. This is ⑴coincidence. ⑵Would you mind if I sat down?
Kathleen: Yes, yes, I would, actually, I’m expecting someone, thanks.
Joe: ⑶Pride and prejudice.
Kathleen: Do you mind?
Joe: I bet you read that book every year. I bet you just love that Mr. Darcy and your ⑷sentimental heart just beats wildly at the thought that he and, um, well, you know, whatever her name is, ⑸are truly honestly going to end up together.
Waiter: *Can I get you something?
Kathleen: *Oh, no, he’s not staying.
Joe: Mochaccino decaf non-fat.
Kathleen: No, no, you’re not staying.
Joe: *I’ll just stay here until your friend gets here. Gee, is he late?
