一道听力题，有困惑

enjoyinfo

M:Registration ought to be easier than ever this year.
W:Unless the computer breaks down.
Q:What does the woman imply about this year's registration?

A:It's sure to be easy.
B:It might be difficult.

听力突破上的答案是B，我怎么感觉是A呢

哪年的题目啊？

a.

AlphaBeta

B. 应为男的说了除非电脑瘫痪. 这就意味着如果电脑瘫痪的话, 今年的注册可能会很难, 而这正是B所说的. A是说一定会很容易,那万一电脑瘫痪了呢? 就不容易了.

我最终认为是A，unless用“如果不”的意思更好理解


还有一题，
W:Shouldn't we invite more people to the dance?
M:The more,the merrier.
Q:What does the man mean?

A:Big dances are the most fun.
B:They need to print more invitations.
我觉得是B，有人说是A，谁可以解释一下吗？

I think B is right. A has irrelevant information like: 'big dance' and 'most fun'. Those infor can't be inferred from conversation.

m:registration ought to be easier than ever this year.
w:unless the computer breaks down.
q:what does the woman imply about this year's registration?

a:it's sure to be easy.
b:it might be difficult.

我认为应该是B.
男: 今年的注册应该比往年容易.
女: 除非电脑瘫痪了.

电脑可能瘫痪吗? 不可能, 所以今年的注册不会比往年容易.

以下是引用kathy72在2003-10-15 14:02:00的发言：

我认为应该是B.

同意kathy的意见。


另外，
W:Shouldn't we invite more people to the dance?
M:The more,the merrier.


人多才会是big concert,所以选A Big dances are the most fun

W:Shouldn't we invite more people to the dance?
M:The more,the merrier.
Q:What does the man mean?

A:Big dances are the most fun.
B:They need to print more invitations.

这道题我也觉得比较困惑. 凭感觉, 按ETS听力题的套路, 似乎A对. 但是从逻辑的角度分析, most fun 是推导不出来的. 虽然人多开心, 但不能肯定是最开心的. 我的疑问是听力题是否需要逻辑意思也很严密呢?

另外, 没有理由可以判断B错. 前面 "invite" 一词是否暗示他们正在筹备dance的邀请事宜, 那当然印多点请贴没错了.

总而言之, 我还是倾向取B
