正解:(A) They both did badly
詳解
這題沒有人明講分數,全靠語氣去推。女生的部分很清楚:她一開口就 I don't want to talk about it(不想談),還煩惱新手機飛了、連舊手機都可能保不住,這些都在說她考差了。男生的部分才是這題的關卡:他被女生問「你考得不錯吧」,只擠出一句 Well, I…(這個嘛,我……)就被打斷,最後嘆一句 life is hard(人生好難)。這串欲言又止加上嘆氣,透露的是他也沒考好。所以答案是 (A) They both did badly(兩個都考差了)。
聽這種「沒人講白、靠語氣推」的題,關鍵是別等一個明確的句子,要把幾個小信號串起來。女生的迴避、男生的支吾、最後兩句 life is hard/tests are harder 的互相取暖,合起來就是一幅「兩個人都被考試打敗」的畫面。真正會騙人的是女生那句 You did well, didn't you?(你考得不錯吧),它只是女生的「假設」,男生從頭到尾沒承認,反而用嘆氣默默否認了。
誘答分析
•
(C) The boy did well, but the girl did badly.:這是最強的誘答,因為女生親口說了 You did well, didn't you?(你考得不錯吧)。聽到這句就以為男生考好了,但那只是女生的假設,男生一句 Well, I… 支吾其詞、最後 life is hard 的嘆氣,其實都在說他也沒考好。把「女生的猜測」當成事實,就會選錯。
•
(B) The boy did badly, but the girl did well.:這格把兩個人的狀況對調了。女生明明各種煩惱成績、怕手機被沒收,是她考差;說她考好,跟對話裡她的反應直接打架。
聽力提示
沒人講白分數時,把小信號串起來聽:迴避(don't want to talk about it)、支吾(Well, I…)、嘆氣(life is hard)都是「沒考好」的暗號。對方的假設句(You did well, didn't you?)只是猜測,要聽被問的人怎麼回應,別把猜測當事實。
關鍵字彙

女生:Did you do well on the test yesterday?
男生:I don't want to talk about it. You did well, didn't you?
女生:Well, I...
男生:Oh, wait. No. Don't tell me. I don't want to feel worse about myself.
女生:Well, my dad said he would buy me a new cell phone if I got a good grade on the test. Ugh, now I can kiss that cell phone goodbye. Maybe I won't even be able to keep my old cell phone when he knows about my grade.
男生:Ugh, life is hard.
女生:Tests are harder.
