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!
6. What kinds of courses are the man looking for?
7. Which’s the merit of foundation courses according to the woman?
8. What degree can the man get if he completes the foundation courses?
9. What’s the course module "Managing People" about?
10. What will the man most probably do next?

选项 A、A university degree.
B、A foundation degree.
C、An honours degree.
D、University admission.

答案 B

解析 ①从选项关键词degree可知,问题应该与学位有关。②问题问男士可以从基础课程得到什么学位。对话中男士问他是否可以获得与大学一样的学位,女士说基础课程攻读的是基础学位(foundation degree),而不是大学的荣誉学位(honours degree),因此B项正确,A项与C项错误。女士提到,完成基础课程后,男士可以选择继续进修荣誉课程(honours courses),但这并不意味着可以进入大学学习,所以D项错误。
