M: Hi, Emily! (12) I hear you’re leaving for Italy soon. Do you plan to have a going-away party before you disappear? It’ll be really nice for us to hang out together before you go.

W: I’m not sure. I’m leaving in just two more days, and I’m going to miss all my friends here and especially this place. Why don’t you come over? (13) I’m feeling rather sad actually. I’m currently sitting alone at a table outside the Black Cat Cafe, listening to the rain and watching people passing by.

M: I am sorry. I can’t just now. (14) I need to get this assignment finished by Monday, and I’m way behind. Anyhow, cheer up! You’re not leaving for good. And you’ll absolutely love Italy.

W: Yeah, you’re right. But I just feel like I’m not quite ready to go. (12) And studying in a foreign country seems a bit overwhelming.

M: Just think of your life in Milan. In the mornings, you can go down to a small local cafe, soaking up the sun’s rays and drinking coffee. I envy you. You can buy lots of gorgeous Italian clothes.

W: That does sound nice. And of course I can keep in touch with everyone through Facebook. Maybe you can all come visit me.

M: Of course we will. When is your flight?

W: On Saturday, after lunch, at 1:45.

M: Okay, (15) I’ll try and come to the airport on Saturday to see you off. I’ll give you a call that morning, no matter what.

14. Why can’t the man meet the woman now?

解析：D。根据录音可知，男士因不能陪女士而感到很抱歉，因为他要在周一前完成一项作业。D选项是对录音中get this assignment finished的同义转述，故为正确答案。录音中男士建议女士开一个欢送会，并不是男士要去参加派对，故排除A项。B、C项均未提及，故排除。
