W: Hi, Professor Jones. Thanks for agreeing to see me on such short notice.
M: Actually, I was thinking about talking to you about your performance in this class so far.
W: Do you mean the two quizzes we had these past two weeks?
M: Yes. I had a quick look at your last two quiz marks. You failed the first and just passed the second one. What is it that is causing you the most trouble?
W: I know I’m not that good with numbers, but it has never occurred to me that statistics can be this difficult.
M: Well, if that’s the case, I would suggest that you drop this class. Because these first two quizzes are the easiest ones throughout this semester. If you have trouble surviving them, the rest of the classes will be really tough for you.
W: Oh, I thought we could only drop classes during the first week.
M: The deadline for dropping classes is always at the end of the second week of a semester.
W: Well, to be honest, I’m only taking statistics because it is a prerequisite for a psychology class I want to take. Would you mind giving me some advice on how I can make some progress?
M: Um... Have you been to all of my classes?
W: Yes, every one of them. But to be honest, you speak a little bit too quickly for me. I find it difficult to get detailed notes.
M: Well, perhaps you should think about bringing in a voice recorder. That way if you miss something you can listen to it again when you’re studying at home.
W: I guess I could try that. I’m not sure if I can afford a voice recorder right now. My student loan hasn’t come in yet.
M: Another option is to get a tutor. If you’re interested, I can recommend someone. She’s a tutorial assistant for one of my other classes, but she does private tutoring on the side. She doesn’t charge much because she’s really looking for the teaching experience. She wants to be a professor.
W: That actually sounds great! With a private tutor, I would have enough time to take notes and think.
M: Of course, dropping the class is also an option. Sometimes professors make exceptions too. You could always contact the psychology professor and ask if it’s possible to get in without my course. I’d be willing to sign something to prove that you’ve at least made a valid attempt.
W: Thank you, professor. I guess working harder on statistics is a better choice than dropping the class. I’m not the type of person who gives up easily. By the way, could you please tell me how I can get in touch with the tutor you mentioned?
M: Well, I can give you her phone number. Just tell her I recommended you to her.
This is the end of Conversation One.
Questions 1-5 are based on Conversation One.
1. What do we know about the woman’s performance in statistics class?
2. What is the deadline for dropping classes?
3. Why does the woman take the statistics class?
4. Why does the tutorial assistant do private tutoring part-time?
5. What will the woman most probably do with her problem?
选项
A、Drop the class.
B、Get the private tutor.
C、Buy a voice recorder.
D、Take notes and think.
答案
B
解析
①选项都是动词原形,由此推测问题可能与行为动作相关。②A“退课”、B“找家教”、C“买录音机”和D“记笔记并思考”都在对话中出现过,本题需要听懂问题才能作答。问题问女士最可能会怎么解决问题,对话中教授提供了“退课”“用录音机”“找家教”几种方案,前两种均被女士否定,只有最后一种方案女士表示That actually sounds great,属于非常赞同的语气,而后女士又向教授询问了家教的联系方式,因此她最可能选择B“找家教”这种方法。
