M: Math Department, Doctor Webster speaking.
W: Hello, Professor Webster, this is Janet Hill calling. I live two doors down from your teaching assistant, Don Williams.[12]Don asked me to call you because he has lost his voice and can’t talk to you himself.
M: Lost his voice? Oh, what a shame! Is there anything I can do for him?
W: Well, he has a class this afternoon from two thirty to four and he won’t be able to teach it. But he doesn’t want to cancel it either.
M: Does he want me to try to find somebody else to teach the class?
W: No, not exactly.[13]What he wants to do is to get someone to go in for him, just to pass back the midterm exams. He’s already marked them and they are on the desk in his office. The whole thing wouldn’t take more than ten minutes.
M: His class is at two thirty, you say? Well I’m free at that time and I was going to be on campus anyway; so I could do it for him. What room is his class in?
W: Cater Hall, room 214.[14]Will you need his office key to get the exams? He’s given it to me and I could bring it to you.
M: Actually, that won’t be necessary. We have a master key in the math department. So I can get into his office if necessary.
W: Thank you very much, Professor Webster. Don doesn’t have another class to teach until Thursday, and hopefully, he will be able to talk by then. He’ll call you as soon as he can. Oh, yes, I almost forgot.
M: Yes?
W:[15]Could you put the next assignment on the board, too? It’s all the problems on page 45, and they are due at the next class.
M: No trouble at all. Thanks for passing on the news about Don, and please tell him not to worry about anything.
12. What is Don’s problem?
13. What favor does Don want someone to do for him?
14. What does Janet offer to do?
15. What does Janet almost forget to tell Professor Webster?

选项 A、He can’t find his office key.
B、He has misplaced some exams.
C、He is unable to talk.
D、He doesn’t like his classroom.

答案 C

解析 本题中的he指的是Don,题干问他遇到了什么问题。,解题的线索在对话中女士(Janet Hill)所说的话中,她说她的住处与唐·威廉斯只隔两个门,唐请她给韦伯斯特博士打电话,因为他自己的嗓子哑了,不能亲自跟他说。选项C中的is unable to talk是对has lost his voice的同义转述,故为正确答案。
