Conversation One
M: Oh,Janna, you’re early! I’m happy you’re here early today because I’d like to discuss your attendance for a moment.
W: Gee, Dr.Livingston, (19) I’m really sorry about missing class yesterday.
M: Actually,(19)it’s been several days.(20)Counting today, we’ve only had 6 classes, yet you’ve already missed 4.It’s more than a half. You won’t be able to pass if you’re constantly absent. And I really don’t want to fail anyone.
W: Sorry, I’ve been extremely busy. I can explain for it. Dr.Livingston. I have a part-time job, so...
M: Well, I hope you’re already for today’s exam.
W: Today? I thought it was Monday!
M: Read the syllabus, Janna; this is precisely what I’m talking about. You should either make an effort to attend, or you should consider withdrawing while it’s still possible.
W: What do you mean?
M: Today’s the final day you can withdraw and get a full refund.
W: Maybe I really should. What do you suggest?
M: I wish you could attend classes regularly; however, if you don’t believe you’re capable of this, then don’t waste your money.
W: Thanks, Dr.Livingston. I really appreciate your advice. If it’s okay,(21) I suppose I’ll go ahead and drop the class.
M: It’s entirely up to you, but that might be best if you don’t think things are going to change. Excuse me, the students are coming, and I’ve got to get ready for class. I wish you the very best of luck, Janna.
W: Thank you, Dr.Livingston. Goodbye.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is the woman’s problem?
B)。【解析】四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài),由此可以推斷,本題考查的內(nèi)容可能是某人最近一段時(shí)間發(fā)生的事情或者持續(xù)的狀態(tài)。女士解釋說,抱歉,昨天沒有來上課(missing class)。男士說,并不僅僅是昨天,一共上過6次課,
已經(jīng)缺了4次。由此可見女士的問題在于并沒有每天都來上課(hasn?t been attending class every day)。故正確答案為B)。
20. How many classes has the woman attended?
A)。【解析】四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為數(shù)字,由此可以推測,本題的考查內(nèi)容是關(guān)于數(shù)字的。 從男士的話中可知,一共上過6次課,女士一共缺了4次(missed 4)。相減得到女士上課的次數(shù)為2次。故正確答案為A)。
21. What does the woman decide to do?
C)。【解析】四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為不定式,由此可以推測,本題考查的內(nèi)容可能是關(guān)于某個(gè)決定。女士說如果可行,就決定退課(drop the class)。可見女士打算放棄這門課程,故正確答案為C)。
