對(duì)話一
M: OK. Now we'd better make sure you enjoy your studies.
男:好,現(xiàn)在我們最好確保你喜歡所選的各門學(xué)科。
We offer a wide range of options on the foundation course, but you can only take five courses. What have you selected?
在基礎(chǔ)課程上,我們提供了很多選擇,但你只能選五門課程。你選了哪些課?
W: Physical sciences, basic electronics, art and design CAD...
女:物理學(xué)、基礎(chǔ)電學(xué)、藝術(shù)、還有CAD(計(jì)算機(jī)輔助設(shè)計(jì))……
M: Oh, right. CAD and...English. That's quite strange.
男:哦,好的。你選了CAD和英語(yǔ)。這很奇怪啊。
Don't you want to do maths, or computer programming, for example?
難道你不想學(xué)數(shù)學(xué),或計(jì)算機(jī)編程類似的課么?
Why did you choose art and design?
你為什么選擇藝術(shù)和設(shè)計(jì)?
W: Well, I'm interested in electronics and in writing computer games.
女:嗯,我對(duì)電子學(xué)和編寫(xiě)電腦游戲很感興趣。
I'd like to produce educational software and educational games.
我想設(shè)計(jì)教育性的軟件和游戲。
I've taught myself a lot of programming.
我自學(xué)了很多的編程的內(nèi)容。
So I don't think I'd benefit much from a foundation level course.
所以我覺(jué)得入門課程學(xué)不到太多東西。
M: Oh, no. I see that. Go on, please.
男:哦,這樣。我明白了。你接著說(shuō)。
W: So, I want the basics- the physical science and electronics.
女:所以呢,我想學(xué)些基礎(chǔ)的學(xué)科,比如物理學(xué)和電學(xué)。
I was hopeless at physics in school and we didn't have electronics.
在學(xué)校的時(shí)候我物理特別差,也沒(méi)有電學(xué)這門課。
But I was good at maths. I don't think I need that.
不過(guò)我擅長(zhǎng)數(shù)學(xué)。但我覺(jué)得我沒(méi)必要學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)。
M: Then what about the art and design?
男:那為什么選藝術(shù)與設(shè)計(jì)呢?
W: That will be good for my graphics.
女:這會(huì)幫助我在計(jì)算機(jī)上制圖。
I need that to produce games, and CAD too- I've never done CAD before.
我需要這些來(lái)制作游戲。選CAD也是如此,我還從來(lái)沒(méi)用過(guò)CAD呢。
M: Right. They've got some powerful packages in the computer graphics and CAD offices. You'll enjoy that.
男:好的。計(jì)算機(jī)制圖和CAD辦公室有一些很強(qiáng)大的CAD軟件包。你會(huì)喜歡的。
Then English. I know your English is very good, but why did you take it?
然后是英語(yǔ)。我知道你的英語(yǔ)很棒,但是你為什么還選呢?
W: In fact, I don't have any problem in speaking, but my writing is terrible.
女:事實(shí)上,我的口語(yǔ)是沒(méi)有什么問(wèn)題了,但我的寫(xiě)作糟透了。
M: Then I suggest you join the study skills class.
男:那我建議你選學(xué)習(xí)技巧課。
They'll have lectures on report writing and that may help you with how to structure your essays and so on.
他們會(huì)有課程教報(bào)告寫(xiě)作,可能會(huì)教你如何構(gòu)建論文框架等等。
W: Right. That sounds good.
女:好的,聽(tīng)起來(lái)挺不錯(cuò)的。
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
根據(jù)剛才聽(tīng)到的對(duì)話,回答9至11題。
Question 9.What are the two speakers talking about?
問(wèn)題9.兩位說(shuō)話者在討論什么?
Question 10.What is the woman's favorite course?
問(wèn)題10.這位女士最喜歡的課程是什么?
Question 11.Why did the woman take an English course?
問(wèn)題11.為什么這位女士要選英語(yǔ)課?
