问题  
M: Hi, I’d like to drop off my graduation form. I understand you need this in order to process my diploma.
W: OK, I’ll take that. Uh, before you leave, let me check our computer. It looks like you’re OK for graduation and... hmm... Actually, [1]I’m getting a warning flag on your academic record here.
M: Really?
W: Yeah, let’s see what’s what. Uh, OK, are you familiar with our graduation requirements?
M: I think so.
W: Then you know you need 48 credits in your major field to graduate, and at least 24 credits at the intermediate level or higher. Also, [2]after your second year, you have to meet with your department chair to outline a plan for the rest of your time here. In the past, we also issued letters before a student’s final year began to let them know what they needed to take in their final year to be OK. But we don’t do that anymore.
M: I definitely met with my chairperson two years ago. He told me that I needed eight more courses at the intermediate level or higher in the last two years to be OK. So I’m not sure what the problem is. I made sure I got those credits.
W: Unfortunately, the computer’s usually pretty reliable, so I’m not sure what’s going on here.
M: It could be that I’ve taken two basic courses but coupled both of them with field experiences.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, I could only take intro courses because there were no intermediate-level courses available for those particular topics. [3]My chairperson told me that if I did independent field research in addition to the assigned work in each course, they would count as intermediate-level courses. Some of my classmates did this for an easy way to meet the intermediate course requirement. But I did it to get the kind of depth in those topics I was going for. As it turned out, I really enjoyed the fieldwork. It was a nice supplement to just sitting and listening to lectures.
W: I’m sure that’s true, but [4]the computer’s still showing them as basic-level courses, despite the fieldwork.
M: I’m not sure what to do, then. I mean, should I cancel my graduation party?
W: No! No reason to get worried like that [5]Just contact your chairperson immediately, OK? Tell him to call me as soon as possible so that we can verify your fieldwork arrangement and certify those credits right away. It’s not like there’s an actual deadline today or anything, but if more than a few weeks go by, we might have a real problem that would be very difficult to fix in time for you to graduate.
M: I’ll get on that.
1.What does the woman find in the man’s academic record?
2.What does the man have to do after his second year?
3.What did the man learn from the chairperson?
4.What is the problem of the man’s academic record?
5.What will the man probably do next?

选项 A、He needed to obtain eight more credits to complete his study.
B、He should take two intro courses with field experiences.
C、He would have an easy way to meet the credit requirements.
D、He could meet the course requirements with extra fieldwork.

答案 D

解析 ①选项以He和情态动词开头,由此可推断问题与男士应该或需要做的事情有关。②问题是问男士从系主任那里了解到什么。对话中男士说,系主任告诉他如果他完成每门基础课程指定的作业外,再进行额外的实地研究,就可以当作修了中级课程。D“额外的实地研究能让他达到课程要求”是其概括,故正确。③系主任告诉男士,他需要再多修八门中级以上的课程(courses),而不是A项所说的八个学分(credits)。B项中的“修两门本身包含了实地实验的初级课程”可以算作中级课程,系主任并没有说男士非要这样选课,选项中的should不对。男士提到有些同学会以此作为达到中级课程要求的捷径,但他则将此作为深入了解课题的机会(to get the kind of depth in those topics),C项犯了张冠李戴的错误。
