W: Hello, Patrick. What are you busy doing?
M: Nothing serious. What’s wrong, Lily?
W: I just want to talk about something with you.
M: I’m glad to. What is it?
W: So we have homework and tests. What about attendance? Should we require students to attend classes? Sometimes people argue at university level it shouldn’t be compulsory.
M: I think you should attend some classes at least. You’re going to university: you’re paying for your education so you should attend some classes, but it doesn’t mean if you’re not attending a class that you cannot get the information and study by yourself. That’s why I like the Internet so much, because I think people can get so much information from academic institutions via the Internet: they don’t have to attend a physical class.
W: That’s right and on the other hand you might attend physically but you’re not really paying attention.
M: Exactly. You might as well sleep in class sometimes. It doesn’t prove that you’re learning if you’re there. It depends on the person I think.
W: So maybe rather than strictly checking attendance, we should check what the students have learned?
M: Yes, and how do you do that?
W: That’s right. Now we come back to that.
M: Testing? I don’t know.(2)I think there are other ways of finding out if students have learned things. You don’t have to call things tests: you can set students tasks to find out if they can do the required task without calling it a test.
W: That’s right, and then it becomes maybe a bit more practical too.
M: Yeah, I think so.
W: Did you do a lot of projects when you were a student?
M: Not so many, and I think education has quite changed in the last twenty years or so and (3)I think people are doing more projects than they used to do when I was a student for the first time, but I really like projects because 1 think it’s putting your knowledge to work and finding out how you can apply your knowledge to make it practical and usable. I wish I could give my students more projects.
W: Yeah, that’s true. Maybe they’ll be better than tests.
M: I think so too, yeah. It’s a better way to find out if people know things if you give them a project that involves what they’ve studied.
W:(4)And in the real life they won’t be taking tests any more. They need to be able to apply the knowledge, right?
M: Yeah, exactly. Do you use projects a lot in your class?
W: Not as much. As you know, we have quite a strict schedule to follow but I think it’s definitely something to think about.
M: Yeah, right. It’s kind of tricky to give a project in language, like making a language project.
W: Yeah, I guess.

解析 本题考查行为特征。由句(2)可知,帕特里克认为检验学生的学习情况有除考试之外的其他方式,可以给学生们设定一些任务让他们去完成,这种任务并不一定被称之为考试。故B为答案。
