W: Hi, Kevin. How is it going?
M: Ah, not so great.
W: What's wrong?
M: I've got a big problem with the Shakespeare course which is required for my major.
W: Is that all filled up?
M: No, there's plenty of room, but I have to take the starter course before I can take Professor Miller's Shakespeare course. It is only offered in the evening.
W: You don't like evening classes?
M: That's not the point. I work in the cafe every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition.
W: You can ask someone that could switch hours with you. Maybe just switch a couple of evenings since the course probably only meets two times a week.
M: I wish I could. My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings. And he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.
W: Wait a minute. I have an idea. Have you checked the course over at the community college? They might offer an introductory course during the day.
M: That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I'll go over and check it out.
W: Their courses are actually cheaper.
M: Thanks for your advice. I'll let you know what happens.
W: Sure. Good luck!
答案解析:
(1) 正確答案為C。根據but I have to take the starter course before I can take Professor Miller's Shakespeare course. 但是在上米勒教授的莎士比亞課程之前,我必須要參加初級課程。可知,阻礙男子修莎士比亞課程的原因是該課程要求先參加初級課程,因此C項正確。
(2) 正確答案為A。根據I work in the cafe every evening.我晚上要在咖啡廳打工??芍凶拥膯栴}是他晚上要打工,不能在晚上上課,因此A項正確。易錯選成B項,男子的老板不會同意他請假。對話中男子只是表示老板會hit the ceiling大發雷霆,而且男子并沒有請假的意思,只是想調班,所以B項排除。
(3) 正確答案為B。根據女子的建議Have you checked the course over at the community college? They might offer an introductory course during the day.你問過社區大學的課程了嗎?他們白天可能會提供初級課程。以及男子后來說That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I'll go over and check it out.是個好主意。我今天下午有空,我會去問問看??芍?,男子將去別的學校詢問初級課程,因此B項正確。
