L: Good morning, City Central Library. May I help you?
M: Yes, I want to order some books please. You can send them to me through the post or courier, can’t you?
L: Yes, certainly. Let me get the form and take down some details. First, your name please, sir.
M: Willy Humpshire. That’s capital H-U-M-P-S-H-I-R-E.
L: Willy Humpshire. And your membership number?
M: That’s L 9231385.
L: L923...
M: 1385.
L: Thank you. Now your address please. That’s the address you want us to send the items to.
M: It’s 15 Lonkon Street, Annandale.
L: And could I have your phone number and your fax number please?
M: They are the same, 663-6947.
L: 663-6947.
M: That’s correct.
L: Thank you. And may I ask why you’ll need the books? I’m sorry about this, but we have to have this information whenever we send books out from a telephone request.
M: No problem. I’m preparing an article for the environment watch section of the local newspaper. We are quite concerned about the problems we are facing now, especially since we’ve been getting so many tourists in the district.
L: Oh I see. I’m so glad someone is doing something about publicizing the problem.
M: Now how long can I keep the books for?
L: Well, as you know, our normal loan period is three weeks with a two-week extension over the phone. However, in cases where we send books out by post we allow a longer initial loan period to allow for the delivery time. So you may have the books for six weeks from the date of postage. But I’m afraid the two weeks’ extension won’t apply then. However you would be able to renew by bringing them in for stamping, provided no one else has a reservation on them.
M: I should think the normal period will be enough. Anyway I have to hand in the article within a month. Now how do you prefer the postage and photocopy fees to be paid?

答案 A

解析 虽然借阅时间不是难点,但对话中图书管理员介绍了很多种借阅时间供借阅者考虑,无疑增加了答题难度。Well,as you know,our normal loan period is three weeks with a two-week extension over the phone.However, in cases where we send books out by post we allow a longer initial loan period to allow for the delivery time.So you may have the books for six weeks from the date of postage.But I’m afraid the two weeks extension won’t apply then.However you would be able to renew by bringing them in for stamping,provided no one else has a reservation on them.这段话表明通常借阅的时间是三周,如果有需要,可以通过电话续借两周。但邮寄图书需要考虑邮寄时间,所以借阅的时间从寄出之日起算为六周,但此时不可申请续借两周。不过如果没有别人要求借阅的话,借阅者可以带着书来办理续借。男士的回答:I should think the normal period will be enough.表明他只要常规借阅期就可以了。但他是指三周还是加上续借两周的总共五周呢?下一句Anyway I have to hand in the article within a month.说明他投稿的文章必须在一个月内完成,不可能借阅五周。因此选项A正确。
