选项 A、He’ll be speaking at the end of the meeting.
B、He was supposed to speak last night instead.
C、He suddenly decided not to speak.
D、He already spoke very briefly tonight.

答案C

解析 [听力原文]
W: Wasn’t Carl supposed, to give a speech tonight?
M: Yes, but he backed out at the last minute.
Q: What do we learn about Carl?
信息明示题。女士认为卡尔今晚要发表讲话,男士说卡尔最后决定不讲了,所以C正确。对话中的关键短语是back out(停止不干)。   be supposed to do sth.意为“应该、被期望或被要求做某事”,如:You’re supposed to pay the bill by Friday。你最晚得在周五结清这笔账。
   back out意为“中途退出,在完成之前从(某项计划或事业)中退出”,如:You promised to help--you mustn’t back out now.你答应过要帮忙的,你现在不应该食言。
