W: Morning.
M: Good morning. What can I do for you, ma’am?
W: I’m here to pay my library fines.
M: You have fines? I’m really sorry to hear that.
W: Yeah, me too. I just hope that my overdue books aren’t going to cost me that much.
M: So do I. Well, let’s find out together. Can I have your membership card please? I need to log in on your account to find out the names of the overdue books.
W: Ok, here it is.
M: All right... Your name is Erika?
W: Correct. And from what I remember, there are two overdue books in my account.
M: That is correct. You have... Let me see... Ship of Theseus, five days overdue, and... The Twilight Saga, uh, I’m afraid that one is already two weeks overdue.
W: That’s terrible. I kept thinking about coming here. I just constantly got stuck with my work.
M: Well, actually you don’t have to visit the library to renew your books. Of course, most residents in this neighborhood still prefer to come to the circulation desk, but there are a couple of other options as well.
W: Actually, I think the traditional way is just fine. Thank you, though. How much do I owe in total?
M: Just one second. You have to pay one dollar a day for each book. So that’s five dollars for Ship of Theseus and fourteen dollars for The Twilight Saga. Would you like to pay cash or use your credit card?
W: I happen to have nineteen dollars in cash. Here you are.
M: Ok, thank you.
W: Uh, since I’m here, would you mind renewing the books that I checked out the other day? I think I’ve got three or four of them.
M: That won’t be a problem. Let’s see... yes, you have four books. Oh, no... It looks like one of them is already one day overdue. I can renew it for you now, but you still have to pay one dollar for that. I’m really sorry.
W: I can’t believe it. I’m so forgetful. Sir, would you mind telling me some other options to renew books?
M: That’s all right. You can call us on the phone anytime from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and ask a librarian to renew the books for you. And we also have a new app that allows you to renew your books online so that you don’t have to come all the way to the library.
W: Oh, I see. Thanks for the information, sir. I’m not that good at using computer, but renewing books online sounds like a brilliant idea. I’ll definitely give it a shot next time.

答案 A

解析 ①选项都是动词短语,预测问题与行为动作有关。②由对话可知,该女士本不愿尝试新的续借书方法,所以一开始没等管理员说出其他方法就打断了他。但后来续借时知道又有一本书过期,该女士才意识到为了避免这种情况,需要尝试新的方法。对话中女士提到自己不太会使用电脑,但是“网上续借书是很好的一个方法,我下次一定要试一下”,A项为正确答案。
