Can you think of any fun things for us to do? M: You guys should go see the new Harry Potter movie! W: That’s a great idea! J. K. Rowling is such an inspiration. I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. Did you know her first book was rejected by 12 different publishers? Everyone told her to get a different job, and that she wouldn’t be able to make any money by writing children’s books. M: Yeah, it’s hard to believe that once she was really poor but now she’s so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a café in London … no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester … right? W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between London and Manchester. But she did write in cafés a lot. She could only write when her baby daughter was sleeping, so 1 she took her on long walks around the neighborhood to get her to fall asleep. She would usually end up in a café and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again. M: Did J. K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview? I can’t wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books! W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals! M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. I’d love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes! Q1: What does the man suggest that the woman do this weekend? Q2: Where did J. K. Rowling come up with the idea for Harry Potter? Q3: What are J. K. Rowling’s future plan? Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about? 答案解析 1. D 解析: W: ... Can you think of any fun things for us to do? 问句征询建议，是信号句。因此，M对此问题的回答将会成为考查点。M: You guys should go see the new Harry Potter movie！故D Take her cousin to see a new Harry Potter movie. 为正确选项。 2. B 解析：... She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a cafe in London ... no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester ... right? 此句M提到一个地点at a café，但随即自我否定又提出另一个地点a bookstore，并征询W意见，可预判下句W将对地点做出说明。M多次提到地点，提示出“地点”是关注的焦点即考点，而W对地点的进一步说明将会是答案。W: ... It was actually on a train between London and Manchester. ... 此答语中的副词actually用于强调事实，强调本题所涉实际地点应为 B on a train. 3. C 解析：M: Did J. K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview? ... 询问J. K. Rowling的写作计划，问句为信号句，下句W对此问题的回答即为本题答案。W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals! 可知J. K. Rowling对她的写作计划保密，只有C She hasn’t said anything about her future 2 plans. 与此内容一致。 4. D 解析：W: ... I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. ... 可知W和M的对话是围绕着BBC news对J. K. Rowling做的一次采访展开的。本题答案应为D An interview with J. K. Rowling. 3 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/6e8a4087571252d380eb6294dd88d0d232d43c00.html
