W: Hi, are you interested in doing a foundation course?
M: Well, I’m not sure actually.
W: That’s not unusual. Are you thinking about further study, or planning to go straight into a job?
M: I was always thinking I’d go to university, but the fees are so high now, [6]I was looking for other options, something where I can be sure I’d get a job afterwards.
W: Yes, the money is a real problem now, isn’t it?
M: Yeah, that and the fact that I’m really not sure whether university courses really prepare you for any particular job. They’re too academic, not really very practical.
W: Well, it sounds as if one of our foundation courses might be the right thing for you. The fees are lower than university fees, and because the courses aren’t full time, you can work for two or three days a week, so you can earn and study at the same time. The other good thing is that you get real experience in the workplace where you can develop your employability skills. [7]The teaching is also a lot more personal, with smaller class sizes, which means you get more attention.
M: So, do you get the same qualifications that you would at university?
W: [8]You’d be working towards a foundation degree, not an honours degree like you would at a university, but you can progress onto an honours course if you successfully complete the foundation course.
M: I was thinking of going into business or management. Do you do courses in that?
W: Well, not as such, but we do offer a course in managing public services which might be of interest to you, especially as the public sector is one of the country’s biggest employers and it’s always looking for talented individuals. A lot of the skills you need for those departments are the same as those you’d need in business, so you can decide at a late date whether you want to work in a public or a private company.
M: Yeah? What does the course involve?
W: Well, there are a number of different modules you can take. The ones which might be of interest to you are, er..., this one—"Organisational Behaviour".
M: What’s that about?
W: You’ll learn things like the theoretical and practical nature of organisations, such as how they are set up and structured. There’s another module called [9]"Managing People" which teaches some principles and management techniques for leading groups of people.
M: This one looks interesting: "Applied Psychology for the Public Services."
W: Yes, it is. It looks at how you can apply psychological factors like stress and memory to work in the public sector.
M: [10]It looks like a really practical course. Can I take one of these information packs?
W: Sure, go ahead. Come back for more details any time!

选项 A、They cost more than the university courses.
B、The courses include both study and work.
C、You can get real working experience from it.
D、The teaching gives more personal attention.

答案 D

解析 ①从选项表述的意思可以猜测,问题可能与某种课程的特点有关。②问题问哪个是基础课程的优点。女士说基础课程的教学更关注个人(more personal),你将得到更多的关注,D项正确。③女士提到基础课程的学费比大学课程低(The fees are lower than university fees),A项的cost more刚好相反,错误。由于基础课程不是全日制的,所以学生有两三天时间可以去工作。学习工作两不误(earn and study at the same time),但并不是说课程包括了学习与工作两部分,故B项错误。女士提到学生可以在工作场所得到真实的经验,而没有说是从课程中得到真实经验。C项错误。
