考查細節(jié)理解。the new game新游戲；the phone call電話；their monthly family lunches他們每月的家庭午餐；a good weekend快樂的周末。根據(jù)第一條留言“You know how much he loves our monthly family lunches. This is the fifth one you've missed你知道他有多喜歡我們每個月的家庭午餐。這是你錯過的第五個”，可知艾倫的父母不想讓他錯過他們每個月的家庭午餐，故選C。

【2】題意：帶下劃線的單詞“confirm”在意義上最接近“_________”。
考查詞義猜測。give up放棄；make sure確信；check in登記；deal with處理。根據(jù)下文“Mr. Prince wants you to know that this meeting is very important普林斯先生想讓你知道這次會議非常重要”，可知普林斯先生的助理斯蒂菲·羅森打電話是想確認一下，故選B。

【3】題意：普林斯說，Yamada先生已經(jīng)準備好為這款新游戲的全球版權(quán)付費。
考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)“He says that Mr. Yamada is ready to pay for the world rights on your new game他說Yamada先生已經(jīng)準備好為你的新游戲支付世界版權(quán)”，句中的主語He是指Mr. Prince，可知選D。

【6】題意：從文章中我們可以知道，艾倫在設(shè)計電腦游戲方面做得很好，而且總是很忙。
考查細節(jié)判斷。A. 艾倫的媽媽很有耐心，從來不生他和他爸爸的氣；根據(jù)“I'd just like to say that I'm very angry with you”可知說法錯誤。B. 普林斯先生的助手很粗心，總是打錯電話；根據(jù)“I'm calling to confirm tomorrow's lunch with Mr. Yamada of Rising Sun Computer Games”可知說法錯誤。C. 米勒是英國互動電腦游戲的制作人；根據(jù)“My name is Karen Miller.
