W: (19) What do you think of these summer-vacation internship programs?
M: We usually consider it a good thing for schools to organize part-time work for students during summer vacation. On the one hand, students are equipped with valuable work experience. On the other hand, through these programs, employers can save costs, and schools can gain a reputation for being able to guarantee internship opportunities for student.
W: What is the role schools play in these programs?
M: (20)They help students bargain with the company and win them benefits, like free meals and dorms. Some even hire buses to send students directly to the company so that they have a strong sense of security. But sometimes even schools are not able to control how much their students are paid and worked, and how secure they feel at the company facilities. For example, to meet order deadlines, many companies require staff to work overtime.
W: We know that schools have to sign agreements with companies. But do students need to sign anything with their school or the company?
M: Usually students are required to sign an agreement with the school, promising they will be on good behavior during the internship.
W: So if things like working overtime happen, can students report to the school and ask for any change?
M: Well, (21)student internship programs usually last less than two months, as a result, employers don’t want to invest money in training students or providing insurance. Many schools accept such strict terms because they don’t want to lose the opportunity to place hundreds of students in internships. (22) It’s not surprising that the contract between the school and the employer is usually ambiguous.
19. What are the two speakers talking about?
20. What role are the schools playing in these programs?
21. What are companies concerned about?
22. What does the man imply about students’ rights?

选项 A、Students find it hard to protect their rights.
B、Students can complain to local education authorities.
C、Companies act according to the agreement they signed.
D、Schools accept unfair contract regardless of students’ rights. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

答案 A

解析 推理判断题。本题关键要听懂对话的最后几句:雇主们不愿为实习生们提供培训或保险,而校方为了保住实习机会,也只能接受这样的条件;学校和公司之间签的合同通常都是模棱两可的,这也不是什么令人惊讶的事情了。由此推断,学生难以维护自己的权利。
