W: Oh, Peter, there you are. You’ve been ages. What kept you so long?
M: I’m sorry I am so late, Sally. Have you been waiting long?
W: Oh, half an hour. But it doesn’t matter. I’ve had a coffee and I have been reading this guidebook for tourists. Sit down. You look very hot and tired. What would you like to drink?
M: I’d like a really chilled mineral water or something. Will you have another coffee?
W: Yes, I will. The waitress will be back in a moment. Why were you so late? Did something happen?
M: You know I went to the bank to cash some traveler’s checks. Well, the exchange rate was looking healthy, but when I went to the teller, they told me the computer system was temporarily down, so they couldn’t do any transactions. They said the problem would be fixed in a few minutes, so I waited. And then I started talking to another guy in the bank, and I forgot the time.
W: Oh, really? Someone you met in the bank? Does he work there?
M: No, he’s a tourist, from New York. His name is Henry, and he has been here for a week, but he’s moving on to Germany tomorrow. He’s an architect, and he’s spending four weeks traveling around Europe.
W: Just like us!
M: Yeah, he told me the names of some places where we should eat. Great food, not too expensive, he said. He also gave me this map of the bus system. He said he didn’t need it any more.
W: That’s useful. Pity he’s moving on tomorrow. Ah, here’s the waitress. Let’s order. Do you want something to eat, or shall we just have a drink?
M: Well, I’m hungry, and we’ve got a lot of sightseeing to do, so let’s just have a snack and a drink.
Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
9. What did the man go to do?
10. Where does Henry come from?
11. What are the two speakers doing?
12. What did the man and Henry talk about?

选项 A、He is from Germany.
B、He is from Europe.
C、He is from Britain.
D、He is from America.

答案 D

解析 选项中重复出现的he is from表明,本题考查he来自哪儿。对话中男士提到他在银行遇到一个叫Henry的人,he’s a tourist,from New York.。由此可知,Henry来自美国,故答案为D)。注意选项中的he指代的是Henry,而非正在谈话中的男士。
