W: Hey, Jim, what a coincidence to see you here! Long time no see.
M: Yeah, me too. Hey, just as old friends I gotta tell you...you don’t look that well. Are you sick or something?
W: Well, not really. It’s the same old story of the life of an overworked undergraduate student. I am up to my neck on this project. I am working on a project that has to be done by the end of this month.
M: Can’t you speak to your professor about that? Maybe he would allow an extension and you will then have some breathing space.
W: Fat chance. My professor is one of those workaholic-types and he expects everyone that works with him has to be the same way. You know, sometimes he sleeps 4 hours a night but can still keep going during the day.
M: Wow, sounds like your professor is really nuts. You know I don’t mind working hard but not to the point of killing myself. Hope you can get your project done without any hitches.
W: What about you? I heard the faculty is building another building on campus. A big project it seems by the looks of things and nearly completed I think.
M: Well, not quite there yet. They still have not decided whether they should move there or not. The department dean wants me to mark papers and do some administration work for them. I have to make a decision by the end of this week.
W: That is a tough decision, isn’t it? I would jump on the offer if I had one. To work with some of these academic-types must be interesting.
M: Sure it is. I would not think twice if I didn’t have such a heavy load this semester. Besides, my girlfriend isn’t keen on me always spending time at school.
W: I can understand how your girlfriend feels. Maybe you can ask for a lighter load. Perhaps you could request to work only on certain days.
M: That’s true. Then I wouldn’t have to work under a workaholic professor anymore.
W: Hey, Jim. Do you think I have any chance of getting some work there?
M: Hmm, are you serious about working there? I thought you were joking.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is the main topic of the discussion?
20. What decision does the man need to make?
21. What would Jim’s girlfriend prefer him to do?
22. What can we learn about the woman’s Intention?
选项
A、The root of Jim’s health problems.
B、The woman’s problems with her workaholic professor.
C、Jim’s relationship with his professor.
D、Problems that Jim and the woman have with their workloads.
答案
D
解析
由选项概括性强可知,本题可能考查对话话题。根据对话中提及的overworked,up to…neck,such a heavy load等可知,对话双方谈论的是他们工作量的问题,故答案为[D]。
