h mine. What about you?
M: Well, we value family life very much in my country. I’m very fond of my family, but I don’t always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.
W: But they allow you to come to study in England on your own.
M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an adult; my parents treat me as a child.
W: As I said, I’m lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they just refuse to understand our generation.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. According to the woman, why does she respect her parents?
【解析】选[B]。对话开始女士说她父母绝不逼迫她做自己不喜欢的事情，所以她很尊重父母，故答案为[B]。
【点睛】but转折处常为考点，其后的句子为真正要表达的意思；定语从句I didn’t want to do修饰anything，[B]是对此的同义转述。
20. What happened when the woman began to study nursing?
【解析】选[A]。对话中女士提到，As soon as I…started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially（自从我…开始学习护士后便在经济上独立了），[A]中的didn’t need…money any more是对其中became independent financially的同义转述，故为答案。
【点睛】问题中的began to study nursing是对对话中started...studies as a nurse的同义转述。
21.What can we learn from the conversation?
【解析】选[A]。对话中男士提到，we value family life very much in my country（在我们国家，人们非常看重家庭生活），由此可推断出他们来自不同的国家，故答案为[A]。
22. What attitude did the man’s parents have towards his study abroad?
【解析】选[C]。选项均以They开头，由其中的allowed，reluctant和their son，go abroad，study等可知，本题可能考查男士父母对他出国的态度。对话中女士说“they allow you to come to study in England on your own”，男士回答“but only after a lot of persuasion”，可推断出，男士父母起初并不情愿，直到男士说服他们，故答案为[C]。
【点睛】[C]中的reluctant until…persuaded them是对对话中的but only…persuasion的同义转述。

W: Mr. Rick Segal is an expert in network management and software development. I know you’re planning to take a world tour. Can you tell me when you got the idea for this upcoming tour?
