　　30．embarrassed。详解:此处位于副词t00之后，应该填入形容词。由于朋友只是借上一两美元，如果要求还钱，让人感觉有点小题大做。因此，卡萝尔感觉不好意思让朋友还钱。结合录音填入embarrassed，意为“困窘的，尴尬的”。

　　31．spare。详解:空格前是情态动词的否定形式couldn"t，因此，此处应该填入动词原形，与couldn’t起作从句的谓语。由于朋友总是借钱不还，而卡萝尔又不好意思向朋友要求还钱，时间长了，卡萝尔决定不再借钱给朋友，再结合本句句首的the last time可以判断，从这一次起，卡萝尔拒绝借钱给朋友。因此，她告诉朋友她没钱可借。结合录音填入spare，意为“提供(时间、钱等)；匀出，分出”。

　　32．response。详解:此处应该填入名词单数形式，与不定冠词a搭配，作句子的宾语。卡萝尔拒绝再借钱给朋友的方式是说她没钱可借，而另外一位女士的建议更为大胆，本句后面就给出了那位女士在朋友借钱时的反应。结合录音填人response，意为“反应，回答”。

　　33．turn the tables。详解:此处应该填入动词或动词短语，充当句子的谓语。这位女士的回答更为大胆，当有人借钱不还时，她不是被动忍受，而是扭转局面，主动出击，向朋友提出要求。结合录音填入turn the tables，意为“扭转局面，转败为胜”。

　　34．reization。详解:空格位于不定冠词a和形容词sudden之后，因此应该填入单数名词，作介词by的宾语。当把钱拿到手后，这位女士才表现出突然想起来的样子，说这和你上次借我的一样多呢!结合录音填人realization，意为“意识，领悟”。

　　35．convenient。详解:此处应该填入形容词或副词，与how一起构成感叹句。女士假装刚刚反应过来，并告诉对方，她这次借的和对方欠她的一样多，这样省得对方再还钱了，还真是省事呢!结合录音填入

convenient，意为“方便的，便利的”。
