Passage Three
Joe is a student at a college in an urban area. During his first two semesters, he did very well and [32]at the beginning of the third semester he was admitted to a special medical program. If he completed the program successfully, he would be granted admission to a good medical school. He would be able to study to become a doctor. Joe's mother and father both have full-time jobs and Joe works part-time in a restaurant to help the family finances.
Several weeks ago, Joe's mother began feeling sharp chest pains. When she went to a doctor, [33]he told her that she would need a heart surgery and would have to give up her job. This would enlarge medical expenses and lose almost half the family's income. Joe's father wants him to drop out of school and go to work full-time to help the family. Joe loves his family very much. But, if he drops out now, he would lose the entire semester's credit and may even lose his place in the premedical program.
[35]He doesn't know what to do. He speaks to his girlfriend Maria who urges him to remain in school since to withdraw now would place his entire future in danger. [34/35]He also speaks to his cousin Carol, who tells him that his first duty is to help his family get through the difficult times.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. When was Joe admitted to the special medical program?
正確答案：C
解析：短文開頭處提到，“在前兩個(gè)學(xué)期他功課學(xué)得很好，于是在第三個(gè)學(xué)期開始的時(shí)候，他被招入了一個(gè)專門醫(yī)學(xué)課程班。”因此，C正確。
33. Why would Joe's mother give up her job?
正確答案：A
解析：醫(yī)生建議她做心臟手術(shù)，并說她得放棄工作。故A正確。
34. Who advised Joe to give up his studies?
正確答案：C
解析：短文最后說，Joe的表妹Carol說，Joe的首要職責(zé)是幫助家人渡過難關(guān)，亦即暫時(shí)休學(xué)。故C正確。Joe的父親希望他退學(xué)，而他的女朋友希望他完成學(xué)業(yè)。B、D的態(tài)度未提及。
35. What is Joe going to do?
正確答案：D
解析：短文結(jié)尾部分說，Joe“不知道該怎么做才好”，于是他征求女朋友和表妹的意見，而兩個(gè)人的意見也不一致。可見，他還沒有下定決心，故選D。
