Conversation Two
W: I want to register for this mathematics course.
M: I'm sorry registration has closed.
W: [22]Closed? But the clerk told me I could come back and register any time during the first week of classes.
M: Well, that's not possible. The computer's official student account has already been sent to the state. And that's what our budget is based on. Who told you that anyway?
W: Some woman here when I tried to register three weeks ago. She said I just had to pay a late fee.
M: She must have been a temporary worker. They don't have much training. Why didn't you register then?
W: [23]She said I couldn't until I had my birth certificate. Here it is.
M: Your birth certificate?
W: Well, I'm a new part-time student. So she asks for identification. I don't drive so I don't have a driver's license.
M: Huh. That's no reason to demand a birth certificate. [24]We only need to establish residency: a phone bill with your name and address on it would've been fine.
W: Really? Only proof of my address?
M: Yes. I'm afraid she gave you the wrong information. Still you'll have to wait and take your math's class next semester.
W: But that's unfair.
M: Well, I sympathize with your problem, but frankly, I don't think there is anything anyone can do for you. You were trapped in the system. [25]If you want to, you can talk to the director. She will help you if she can.
W: Great.
M: [25]But don't get your hopes up.
答案解析:
22. What problem does the woman have?
[B]解析:女士說:“結(jié)束了?但是那個(gè)工作人員告訴我可以在開學(xué)第一周的任何時(shí)候來注冊的。”可知?jiǎng)e人告訴了她錯(cuò)誤的信息。所以答案為B。所有選項(xiàng)主語都是She,內(nèi)容都是說她的問題,故重點(diǎn)留意女士發(fā)生了什么事。
23. Why does the woman have to come to the office for a second time?
[D]解析:女士說:“她告訴我必須有出生證才能夠注冊。這就是我的出生證。”所以D正確。選項(xiàng)B、C、D都有first,而所有選項(xiàng)的主語雖不同,內(nèi)容卻均表示她沒有做成某事的原因,故題目應(yīng)該是詢問原因。“原因”為老生常談的考點(diǎn)。聽到男士問“你那個(gè)時(shí)候?yàn)槭裁床蛔阅兀俊本鸵貏e注意女士的回答。
24. According to the man, what evidence does the woman need to provide?
[C]解析:男士說:“我們只需要登記住址:有姓名和住址的電話賬單就可以了。”故答案為C。所有選項(xiàng)都很簡短,表面上提供不了多少信息。不過所有選項(xiàng)卻都和女士的履歷相關(guān)。聽到什么選什么。原文中的同義解析很關(guān)鍵。
25. What does the man imply when he tells the woman not to get her hopes up?
[A]解析:男士說“如果你愿意,你可以找校長談一下。如果她能的話她會(huì)幫忙的。”后來又說“不過不要抱太大的希望。”所以A正確。所有選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容都表示the director不做某事,都是負(fù)面的信息。假設(shè)條件句往往反著選。“She will help you if she can”,說明她很可能沒有辦法幫忙。
