问题 What is the conversation mainly about?
  
W: Gosh! Fred, another cup of coffee? That’s your third since lunch.
M: Yeah. Well, (8)I stayed up all night cramming for my history exam. I couldn’t keep my eyes open in my last class. I’m having this coffee so I can stay awake this afternoon.
W: (7)Don’t you know that drinking too much coffee is harmful? It may cause heart disease.
M: Nah. (9)Most of the research about the link between coffee and heart disease is inconclusive.
W: (10)But coffee has caffeine which is addictive.
M: You can’t become addicted to caffeine like other drugs.
W: Yes, you can. Don’t you know that people who are deprived of caffeine suffer withdraw symptoms, especially headaches?
M: One cure for headaches, oddly enough, is caffeine. Besides, coffee helps me work faster.
W: But faster is not necessarily better. You may finish your exam in a shorter period of time but you won’t have fewer errors.
M: You know, that soda you are drinking has caffeine in it too.
W: But 12 ounces of soda have only half the caffeine of a 5 ounce cup of coffee. And a cup of tea has less than that.
M: But I like the taste of coffee.
W: (10)You could drink decaf. Decaffeinated coffee doesn’t have as much flavor or body as regular coffee. Besides, I also want something that will keep me alert in class.

选项 A、He has a headache.
B、He has been fed up with tea.
C、He is tired.
D、He is sleepy.

答案D

解析 细节题。对话由女士的惊叹开始,男士接下来便对自己的行为做出了解释。他说:“为了历史考试整晚都在学习,所以上一堂课的时候几乎都睁不开眼了。”选项C具有很强的迷惑性,但男士是“困”(睁不开眼)而不是“累”,因此可排除。选项D的判断是准确的,符合原意。
