W: So, you’re an architect?
M: Yes.
W: Do you work for a public or private organization, or are you self-employed?
M: I’m working for a private design and construction company.
W: How did you start your career?
M: [11] started with the government.
W: Oh, did you? What made you decide to work for the government?
M: Well, it was a matter of chance really. I saw an advertisement for a vacant position in a newspaper, and I thought "Why don’t you try it?" In fact, I have no preferences to where I work, public or private.
W: And do you still have this idea, or...
M: More or less, yes, although I’m now working for a private firm, I worked for the government for about three years.
W: And what made you leave the public sector?
M: [2]Money mainly. You see, I got married, and my wife doesn’t work, and we wanted to start a family right away. So we thought it might be better off if I moved to the private sector. This is why it’s hard for me to be self-employed because self-employed work has the disadvantage that there may be time, or a period of time when you’re unemployed.
W: I see, so did you join this company straight away or...
M: No, I worked in a couple of private firms before I came to this one.
W: Hmm, hmm. Now what qualifications does one have to have to become an architect?
M: Well, you’ve got to have a degree in architecture. That means [3]before you apply to study architecture in any university, you have to pass exams, usually three A-levels with good results.
W: Does one need a scientific background?
M: Well, yes, mainly scientific, but it helps if you have some general arts background too. You know, architecture is not a pure science.
W: Now, if one wants to take up architecture, one has got to be able to draw? Is that really true?
M: Well, it is true that [4]the work of an architect involves a lot of drawing, and to be an architect you must be able to draw. But this doesn’t mean that if you can’t at present draw, you won’t have the opportunity to be an architect, because you can be taught to draw. In fact drawing in architecture is different from drawing in art.
W: Now what qualities do you think make a good architect, apart from being accurate in his drawings?
M: Well, I’m not sure if I can generalise about that. [5]You see architecture is a mixture of theory and practice. So I suppose a good architect should be good at both.
1. What was the man’s first job with?
2. What’s the main reason that the man quit his first job?
3. What is the requirement for one to apply to study architecture in a university?
4. What do we learn about drawing in architecture from the conversation?
5. What does the man say about the job of an architect?
选项
A、Because his wife likes him to work for a firm.
B、Because he prefers working for the government.
C、Because he planned to do self-employed work.
D、Because he faced financial pressure.
答案
D
解析
①选项以because开头,由此推测问题与原因相关。
②女士问男士是什么促使他离开公共部门,男士用 Money mainly作了回答,并解释说当时结婚,妻子没工作,他们想要马上生孩子。由此可知D项faced financial pressure“面临财务压力”是对原文的总结。A“妻子想要他为公司工作”、B“他更喜欢为政府工作”和C “他计划创业”都与对话不符。
