W: Good morning, Mr. Vickstad. How can I help you?
M: Good morning, Ms. Hanson, [1]Well, I’m thinking about transferring to another university, but I’m not sure. I was hoping you could help me make a decision.
W: I’ll try. Where are you thinking of transferring to? And why do you want to leave Prince University?
M: Um... I’m thinking of going to Central University, because it’s in my hometown. I’ve been kind of homesick here this year, and I haven’t made many friends... I just feel so lonely. So, I thought that uh, maybe, [2]it’d be better to be closer to my parents and Mends and all.
W: I see. And would you keep the same major if you transferred? What is it? Business Administration?
M: Yeah, I would. The credits I’ve earned here will transfer to Central. I’ve already checked.
W: May I ask why you chose to come to Prince University in the first place?
M: Sure. Um, well, the main reason is you have a great business school. And the second reason is that I wanted to get away from home.
W: You’re right, Mr. Vickstad. We do have an excellent business school. But, so does Central. The thing is, you’ve got almost a year under your belt here now. [3]At Central, you’ll be starting from scratch.
M: Yeah, I know that. But I’m a little bit familiar with Central because I had older friends who went there, and I visited it before I came here.
W: You know, freshman year is usually the hardest. [4]I remember how homesick I was my first year. I’ll tell you, I was ready to pack it in after the first two weeks. But the longer I stayed, the more comfortable I felt. By senior year, I was glad I chose to stay.
M: Really? Did it get a lot better your sophomore year?
W: Yes, it did. You might well find the same is true for you. Also, even though your credits here will transfer, you will have to take extra courses, because Central has different requirements. You’ll probably have to go to school for an extra year.
M: Hmm... I hadn’t thought about that. I’ll have to check into it. Maybe I should give it one more year. I mean, it’s probably good for me to learn to live away from my family and friends, right? It’ll make me stronger in the future.
W: You can always move back there after you graduate. Of course, by that time you may not want to!
M: Thank you for all your help. [5]I guess I’ll find out the exact transfer requirements. You’ve given me a lot to think about.
W: Don’t mention it. If you feel like you want to talk more, don’t hesitate to come back and see me.
1. Why does the man go and talk to the woman?
2. What is the man’s problem of being in Prince University?
3. What will the man have to do if he transfers to Central University?
4. What does the woman say about her time in college?
5. What will the man most probably do next?

选项 A、She missed her home very much in the first year.
B、She wanted to pack bags after the first two weeks.
C、She felt most comfortable in her second year.
D、She chose to stay in school in her senior year.

答案 A

解析 对话中女士明确指出她记得大学第一年非常想家,A项missed her home是对homesick的同义替换,故正确。②女士说入学两周后曾想过要pack it in,这里是固定搭配,意为“放弃;离开”,并不是B项所指的要收拾行李打包(pack bags)。女士表示她在校的时间越长越舒服自在,尽管后来她说第二年比之前更好,但不是C项所说的most comfortable“最舒服”。女士说她到了大四,非常高兴选择了留下来,由此可知chose to stay是之前做的决定,并不是D项所说的大四时才决定。
