问题  
W: Can I help you? Are you looking for something in particular?
M: Yes, well, first I’m looking for the foreign language section.
W: Oh, it’s right down here. Here we are. "Foreign Languages". What course are you taking?
M: Spanish Four Thirty-one.
W: You need the Intermediate Spanish textbook?
M: No, I still have that from Four Thirty. [1]What I’m looking for is the novel we’re supposed to read: Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude.
W: "Garcia Marquez", "Garcia Marquez". Hmm. No... Oh, here it is, under "Marquez". Here you are.
M: [2]Eighteen dollars? The price is right, but, erm, it’s just the text. There don’t seem to be any footnotes or any glossary.
W: Ah.
M: This is the only edition you have?
W: Yes, it is. Sorry.
M: Hmm. How many copies do you have left? Just those on the shelf?
W: Yes, uh, four—no, five copies.
M: Jeez, those’ll be gone by Friday for sure. Our class is really full. What’s your return policy? Would it be OK if I bought this now, and then returned it if I can find an annotated edition on the internet?
W: Yes, certainly. [3]But you’ll need to keep your receipt, of course, and be sure that the book is not marked up or damaged in any way.
M: Sure, that’s fair enough.
W: Did you want me to check whether we can find you another edition?
M: [4]I don’t think I have time. It usually takes so long to get a book through a bookstore.
W: Unfortunately, that’s often true.
M: Thanks anyway, [1]I’ll take this then, and say—you have sweatshirts, don’t you?
W: Sweatshirts? Yes, in the "School Spirit" section. Over this way. And down here. Um. Here you are.
M: Ah. Yes. Hmm... [5]That’s not much of a school crest.
W: Oh. [5]There’s a bigger one on the back, see?
M: Oh, yeah, of course. I see. Uh, this is a medium. I need a large, and uh... I think... in green.
W: Medium, medium... here, is this a large? Yes, large. Here you go.
M: Yeah, that’s good. Say, do you know what our motto means, anyway?
W: "From Determination comes Truth". It’s been SU’s motto since it was founded in 1894.
M: Huh. That’s really interesting. I’ll wear it with pride—and hope for some of that determination!
How much is this?
W: $39.95 plus tax.
M: Fine. Uh, what else do I need now? Mmm... I guess that’s it, then the sweatshirt and the book. W: And there’s no tax on the book.
M: Where’s your register?
W: Just take them up to the cashier at the front, please. Over there.
M: Oh, OK. Thanks a lot for your help.
W: Thank you. Have a nice day.
1.What does the man want to do here?
2.What problem does the man think the book has?
3.What does the man have to do to return the book?   
4.Why does the man refuse the woman to find him another edition?
5.What is the design of the sweatshirt?

选项 A、Find a foreign language book.
B、Buy the Spanish textbook.
C、Get a novel and a sweatshirt.
D、Return a book he doesn’t want.

答案 C

解析 ①对话中男士讲到自己想要找一本《百年孤独》的小说,这是课程西班牙语431要求读的书。后来录音还提到男士要买一件运动衫,因此本题选C。②A“找一本外语书”过于宽泛。B“买西班牙语教材”和D“退一本他不想要的书”都与对话内容不符。
