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、Keep the receipt.
B、Keep it sealed.
C、Never touch it.
D、Return it in three days.

答案 A

解析 ①选项都是动词短语,注意相关动作细节。②男士得知书店这本书只剩下五本时,担心很快会被卖光,于是想先把这本书买回去,再试着在网上找一下别的版本。男士问如果能找到别的版本是否可以把书退回书店,女士表示可以退书,但是男士需要保留小票,并确保该书没有做标记或损坏,因此本题选A。C“不去触摸这本书”太过极端,不正确。B“保持密封状态”和D“三天之内退书”都未在对话中提及。
