　　W: Or better yet, you should try looking in Books in Print.

　　M: I’ve never heard of that. What is it?

　　W: It’s an index that lists all of the books currently available from publishers. If you have a specific book in mind, you can look under the author’s last name.

　　M: But I don’t.

　　W: Then look directly under your subject, presidential elections.

　　M: What happens if I find a book I want?

　　W: Well, if it’s not in stock, we can order it for you.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. What is the man looking for?

　　【解析】选[B]。男士说“I’m looking for a book on the presidential election system...”，后来说到“I’ve already looked through all the political science books”，由此可以推断，a book on the presidential election system属于the political science books。因此，他要寻找的是[B] A political science book。

　　20. Where does the woman first direct the man to?

　　【解析】选[C]。当男士说需要一本关于总统选举体制的书时，女士以为他说的是textbook，于是马上说“all of our textbooks are ...in the back of the store”。因此，选项[C]符合题干要求。

　　21. What kinds of books are listed in Books in Print?

　　【解析】选[C]。女士说“you should try looking in Books in Print”，在男士不知道什么是Books in Print的情况下，女士解释说，Books in Print是“an index that lists all of the books currently available from publishers”，选项[C]符合题干要求。注意，in print是指“(books)currently available from publishers，正在出售的”；out of print是它的反义词组，表示“已售完”，也很常用。
