Mary: 35 Jane: Please!
答案：(A) No way.
Mary 拒絕了 Jane 的請求，No way.（沒門）符合被拒絕後 Jane 接著懇求「拜托！」的語氣；Sure.（當然可以，如果答應了就不需要再懇求）、Big deal!（答非所問）、Let's check it out.（不合語境）都不合。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
Jane 問「我可以搬去跟你住幾天嗎」，答應或拒絕在文法上都成立，光看這一句選不出來。這一格是全篇最乾淨的一格：不看空格，只看下一句。
空格是 Mary 的回答，而下一句 Jane 只說了一個字：Please!（拜託啦！）人只有在被拒絕之後才需要再懇求一次；如果 Mary 答應了，Jane 沒有任何理由再求她。所以空格必須是拒絕，四個選項裡只有 No way.（想都別想。）是明確的拒絕。順便把這段對話的收尾讀出來：Mary 花了三個星期才把一個房客送走，轉頭就有人要搬進來，她拒絕得毫不猶豫——這是這篇對話設計的笑點，看出來才算真的讀懂，而讀懂笑點的人也就順手把這一格填對了。
Sure.（當然可以）：答應了的話，Jane 下一句不會是 Please!。Big deal!（那有什麼了不起）：一句帶著不屑的回應，用來貶低對方剛講的事，而 Jane 只是提出一個請求，沒有什麼好貶低的。Let’s check it out.（我們去看看吧）：提議一起去查看某樣東西，與「能不能借住」無關。
No way.（想都別想）、turn sb down（拒絕某人）、Big deal!（那有什麼了不起）、Can I …?（我可以……嗎）、for a few days（幾天）、check sth out（查看、了解一下）。
Jane: Hi, Mary. It's been a while. How are you? Mary: OK, I guess. 31
Jane: Couldn't be better. By the way, is your house guest still staying with you?
Mary: No. After three weeks, she finally left. 32
Jane: So, how did you get rid of her? Mary: 33 I told her my parents were coming for a visit and I needed the room. I felt bad about it, though. 34
Jane: Oh, I'd have told her to leave after one week. That reminds me. My father-in-law is coming to visit us next week. Can I move in with you for a few days? Mary: 35
Jane: Please!
