　　Section A

　　11. M: Gordon needs to find another place to live. The apartment he rents now has been sold to a new owner.

　　W: He'd better start looking right away. When all the students come back in a few weeks, he won't find any near the campus.

　　Q: What does the woman suggest Gordon do?

　　A)。從選項(xiàng)可以猜測(cè)本題是對(duì)行為的考查，考查某人應(yīng)該做某事，因此聽(tīng)錄音時(shí)要側(cè)重建議性的句型信息。男士說(shuō)Gordon needs to find another place to live,可知此人想找房子，接著女士說(shuō)He'd better start looking right away。had better do sth.是建議句型的提示信息，后面的內(nèi)容即是答案所在。
