W: You enjoy going through second-hand bookstores, don’t you? It’s interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children’s stories?
M: Some of these books aren’t so old, though. See? This mystery was published only six years ago. It cost seventy-five cents.
W: Hey! Look at this!
M: What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century poetry all of a sudden?
W: No. Look at the inscription. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It’s dated 1893. Maybe it’s worth something.
M: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents.
W: But if this is the signature of someone who is well known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare’s signature is worth about a million dollars.
M: Oh? I can hardly read what that one says. Who wrote it?
W: The name looks like "Harold Dobson". Maybe "Dobbins"? Wasn’t he a politician or something? I’m going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library.
M: Good luck. Your poetry book may make you rich, but I’ll bet my seventy-five cent mystery is a better buy.
W: Anyway, I will take it. Let’s see other books. Is there anything you think is very suitable for my brother to read?
M: Which kind of book does your brother like?
W: Oh, it’s really a question for me.[21]Maybe I should make a call to ask him about that.
M: You’d better check than guess.
19. Where does the conversation most probably take place?
20. What kind of book does the woman find on the shelf?
21.What will the woman probably do after the conversation?

选项 A、Check the price of the poetry.
B、Go back to fetch her wallet.
C、Confirm the inscription on the book.
D、Make a phone call to her brother.

答案 D

解析 推断题。女士想给她的哥哥买一本书,但是又不确定买什么书,又说也许该给他打个电话问问(make a call),由此可推断女士接下来要给她的哥哥打电话,故答案为[D]。
