问题 What is the conversation mainly about?
W: Gosh! Fred, another cup of coffee? That’s your third since lunch.
M: Yeah. Well, I stayed up all night cramming for my history exam. I couldn’t keep my eyes open in my last class. I’m having this coffee so I can stay awake this afternoon.
W: Don’t you know that drinking too much coffee is harmful? It may cause heart disease.
M: Nah. Most of the research about the link between coffee and the heart disease is inconclusive.
W: But coffee has caffeine which is addictive.
M: You can’t become addicted to caffeine like other drugs.
W: Yes, you can. Don’t you know that people who are deprived of caffeine suffer withdraw symptoms, especially headaches?
M: One cure for headaches, oddly enough, is caffeine. Besides, coffee helps me work faster.
W: But faster is not necessarily better. You may finish your exam in a shorter period of time but you won’t have fewer errors.
M: You know, that soda you are drinking has caffeine in it too.
W: But 12 ounces of soda has only half the caffeine of a 5 ounces cup of coffee. And a cup of tea has less than that.
M: But I like the taste of coffee.
W: You could drink decaf. Decaffeinated coffee doesn’t have as much flavor or body as regular coffee. Besides, I also want something that will keep me alert in class.

选项 A、The effects of caffeine.
B、Some causes of headaches.
C、How to do well in exams.
D、Problems with the student cafeteria.

答案 A

解析 主旨大意题。我们在听整个对话的过程中,首先可以确定对话的主题和coffee有关,而后又听到了很多这样的词,如:harmful,addicted,caffeine,work faster等等,这样我们就可以有一个大概的猜想:对话讨论的焦点应该是A项。而后稍加分析,可以得出其他选项在对话中出现的比重很小,所以不可能成为议题。因此,A项便毫无疑问地成为最佳答案。
