Conversation One
W: Excuse me, Dr. Tyler, your secretary said I should come right in.
M: Please do, Jenny. How can I help you?
W: I need to get your signature on my schedule card here, on the line above advisor's approval.
M: Sure, but let's look it over together first. How many courses do you have here?
W: Six.
M: Six? That's quite a heavy load. Any particular reason?
W: I had to drop my chemistry course last semester when I went into the hospital, so I need to take it again.
M: So you've already learnt a lot of the material.
W: Right. And calculus is a part of the second year requirement.
M: Let's see, Chemistry, Calculus. Oh, I see you'll be in my seminar on the modern American novel.
W: Yes, I'm looking forward to it and the romantic poetry seminar, too.
M: Two seminars? That is rather a lot. Can you handle the work?
W: I think so. The introductory economics is fairly easy and so is the music course.
M: Well, then I'll be happy to sign the card. However, I insist that you come and see me after the first week of classes so we can make sure this isn't too much for you.
W: That's a promise.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. Which grade is the student in?
正確答案:B
解析:對(duì)話中,學(xué)生說到:微積分是二年級(jí)的一門必修課。表明該學(xué)生讀二年級(jí),故B正確。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別表示大學(xué)本科一、二、三、四年級(jí)學(xué)生。本題聽音的重點(diǎn),一是看選項(xiàng)中的原詞是否在對(duì)話中有所提及,二是看對(duì)話中是否有與選項(xiàng)含義相同的其他表達(dá)方式。
20. Why has Jenny come to see Dr. Tyler?
正確答案:A
解析:見面時(shí)的寒暄一過,學(xué)生就說出了自己的目的:“我需要您在我這兒的課程卡上簽名。”A與此一致,故為答案。選項(xiàng)均以She wanted開頭,表明本題問“她”做某事的目的,可能問對(duì)話的主旨。
21. What does Dr. Tyler seem to be most concerned about?
正確答案:D
解析:當(dāng)學(xué)生說她這個(gè)學(xué)期修了6門功課時(shí),老師說:“六門課?學(xué)習(xí)負(fù)擔(dān)相當(dāng)重啊。”對(duì)話結(jié)束時(shí),老師又一次叮囑:“上完第一個(gè)星期的課以后,你一定要再來我這里一趟,我們?cè)倏纯催@么多課程會(huì)不會(huì)讓你吃不消。”可見老師擔(dān)心學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)負(fù)擔(dān)過重,故D正確。
22. Which course hasn't Jenny taken?
正確答案:B
解析:對(duì)話中提到,學(xué)生所選的6門功課分別是chemistry,calculus,modern American novel,romantic poetry,introductory economics和music。未提及的是選項(xiàng)B,故選B。四項(xiàng)均是功課名稱,聽錄音時(shí)須對(duì)提到的相關(guān)內(nèi)容做好標(biāo)記。
