M: Oh, hello, Li Li. Come on in, and how’ve you been keeping recently?
W: Quite all right. Thanks, Dr. Francis. How’s your project going?
M: Very smoothly, I should say. I’m playing a consultancy role, really. I’ve only been here in China for a month, but I’m already on very good terns with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I’m happy that you could come. Do sit down, please.
W: Dr. Francis, do you know I’ve got a chance to go to Cambridge in August? 1 wonder if you could tell me something about Britain.
M: Certainly. Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Er...in fact, I’ve never been to Cambridge. But well...yes, I’m sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Li Li?
W: Things like weather. What’s the usual temperature there?
M: Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22 or 23 degrees centigrade, on average, I think. But Cambridge would be warmer, around 2.5, I would guess, because it’s down south.
W: Oh, that’s nice. Do you know it is 34 here? Last year it reached 39. By the way, where do you think I should stay?
M: Oh, that’s important. You can, er...I suppose, stay in the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient.
W: Yes, it would.
M: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense, separated from ordinary society. You’re a language teacher, and I think learning from society is a valuable experience.
W: Yes, yes, exactly. So what’s the alternative?
M: Maybe finding an English host family. I know of a student Ali from the Middle East. He told me that he had learnt a lot by staying with a British family.
W: Thank you. I think it’s quite a good suggestion. By the way, Dr. Francis, do you think I could...

选项 A、Certain things cannot be learned from books.
B、Foreign students had better live on campus.
C、Choice of where to live varies from person to person.
D、British families usually welcome foreign students.

答案 A

解析 [听力原文]
What is the point Dr. Francis is making when he mentions Ali?
综合推断题。弗朗西斯博士以Ali为例来说明上文提到的观点I think learning from society is a valuable experience.由此推断,他认为从社会中可以学到从书本上学不到的东西,所以A正确。   in a sense意为“在某种意义上”,如:What you say is true in a sense.你说的话在某种意义上属实。注意不要和in one’s senses(头脑健全,神志清醒)相混淆。
   alternative指“(两种或以上的东西中)可用来代替另一个的;另外的”,如:One of the alternatives open to you is to resign.你的选择之一是辞职。
