　　13. M: Now suppose I was to stay at home and do all the housework and look after the children while my wife went out to work. What would you think about that?
　　W: If I'm going to be logical, no.

　　14. W: These tomatoes are huge and fat. You must have watered and fertilized them a lot.
　　　　M: Yes, I did. They ought to be ripe enough to pick by the next Friday when we have our party.
　　　　Q: Where did this conversation most probably take place?
　　【解析】选[D]。男士说等下周五聚会的时候西红柿就该熟透了，再结合女士话中的These tomatoes 及watered and fertilized them推断，两人应是在花园里针对西红柿植株展开对话的，因此选[D]。

　　15. M: I'm really enjoying that literature with Professor Benson. Was the lecture this morning interesting?
　　　　W: To tell you the truth, I was so exhausted from staying up last night to finish the reading that I didn't get much out of it.
　　　　Q: What does the woman mean?
　　【解析】选[B]。so exhausted...that I didn't get much out of it说明女士太疲倦了，所以没怎么听Professor Benson讲的课。so...that...结构与too...to...结构意思相同，exhausted ≈ tired，get out of ≈ learn from，因此选项[B]正确。stay up意为"熬夜"。

　　　　Q: Where does this conversation most likely take place?
　　【解析】选[A]。结合男士话中的Hidden cameras (隐形摄像头)和merchandise(商品)推测，对话应该是发生在商店里，场景是男士怀疑女士偷了商店里的东西。
