Question 4 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

Conversation Four

W： Would you like to come to Susan’s birthday party tomorrow evening?

M： I’m going to give a lecture tomorrow. I wish I could be in two places at the same time。

(4 ). What does the man mean?

解析:女士交代背景，问男士能否参加生日聚会，男士则说明天去做讲座，听到这里，可能A/B/C 三个选项都有可能，重点在后面那句话，我希望我能同时出现在两个地方，话中意思是说两者时间冲突 “at the same time”,由此可推理出男士无法参加生日聚会，故答案选A。
