W: Mr. Phelps. I’m Margaret Smith. Please sit down.
M: Thank you. Good afternoon Mrs. Smith.
W: Well now Mr. Phelps—for a start—and just to set the ball rolling—(1)can I check that you’re applying for the post of Management trainee? And that you’re graduating in integrated Business Studies? Tell me, why integrated? Is there something special about this degree?
M: Yes, in a way there is. (2)The subjects in the program, Finance, Marketing, and Banking, and so on, are taught as aspects of a single study that of Business, rather than as separate disciplines which the student has to relate to each other as best he can. I chose it for that reason.
W: And what advantage do you think it has over a more conventional course of study?
M: (3)I think it’s more coherent and more motivating. Everything we have done, including the study of Economics which can easily seem rather dry and remote, is related to one or more of the sorts of careers that we plan to take up.
W: And what makes you apply for this training position Mr. Phelps?
M: I want to work for one of the premier banks of the world. And I want the training opportunities offered by Citibank.
W: (4)You see long term opportunities as more important than the immediate salary, do you?
M: Yes, I do. And my family agrees with me—and that’s generous of them. I’m looking two or three years ahead.
W: Tell us a bit more about these extra-curricular activities of yours. What exactly did you do when you organized this—what is it now? Orientation camp?
M: Well It wasn’t a camp under canvas with singsongs round a campfire of course! (5)We had a number of students who were going to join us in September living on campus during August, and we tried to give them experience of some features of university life that might be unfamiliar and rather alarming. Not academic classes and lectures, but living together, and making friends and taking part in some outside activities, but not too many. And we tried to show them what we had learned about how to organize work, so as to do justice to a range of different subjects. And to let them know the points at which they needed to make choices. And to know that we students in the year senior to them, were friendly and really wanted them to do well.
1. What position does Mr. Phelps apply for?
2. What is special about Mr. Phelps’s degree?
3. What advantage does integrated study have over a conventional one?
4. What does Mr. Phelps consider less important when applying for the vacancy?
5. What is the Orientation Camp mainly about?

选项 A、It can be passed more easily.
B、It is more coherent and motivating.
C、It is more academic-oriented.
D、It better helps students relate to each other.

答案 B

解析 女士在讲座中问Mr.Phelps,他学的融合课程(integrated studies)与传统的课程相比,有什么优势。男士回答说是相关性更强,更能激发人(more coherent and more motivating),B项复现对话原词,为正确答案。D项虽然也复现了对话中relate to each other,但原文是说学生要把不同的学科联合起来,而不是学生本身联合起来。
