What are the speakers mainly discussing?
Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee from the department of housing. (S = Student, E= Employee)
S: Hi, I am a first-year student and I’ve been living in student housing for the past six months. A classmate just told me that I might have missed the application deadline for the next academic year. I didn’t know I have to apply again so early. I thought I’d better stop by. Has that deadline passed?
E: Well, housing is a three-stage process with a few different dead-lines. One of them is approaching soon, but none of them has passed yet, so you are fine.
S: Great. Oh, that’s a relief. Could you tell me then about what I’ll need to take care of?
E: Sure. For stage one, you only have until the end of this week to do two things. First, you need to go to the university homepage and complete the housing re-application online; and secondly, if that gets approved, you have to pay the $1,000 non-refundable housing deposit.
S: Oh oh, I mean the $1,000 is not a problem. It’s the non-refundable part that…
E: What do you mean?
S: Well, it’s just that I don’t know yet precisely where I will be next year. I applied for the University Study-Abroad Option, but they won’t make their decision for a few more months. So I do really need to plan for both possibilities, but if the $1,000 is non-refundable…
E: Well, you still have to meet our re-application and deposit deadline to remain eligible for any future guaranteed housing, otherwise you will always be put on the waiting list. However, the study-abroad program is an exception to our non-refundable policy. So if you get accepted into that program, you can submit a study-abroad notification form to our office.
S: But what will that do?
E: That way we can change your status, but you’ll still be eligible for future housing and the $1,000 will be credited into your account.
S: Oh, OK.
E: Now as part of stage two of the housing process, coming up in about a month, there’ll be an official open-house session. It provides students with an opportunity to visit the different student housing buildings and also to learn more about the surrounding communities. You know since we are a city college, some of those areas have different attractions, which give each of them a different personality. Take Chamber Hall for instance. It’s right next to a Weekend Farmers’ Market, and there is Clock Hall, which is on the same block of art museum. Lots of options to explore.
S: Great. I will plan to attend. And what about roommates? There are two friends I like to live with. Can I arrange that?
E: Yes. The day, the day after the open-house, submit a roommate preference card. Make sure only one person summits all the information on one card. Now we do the best we can to accommodate groups. However, please be aware that as space becomes limited, individuals in the group may be placed in different locations.
S: Got it. And what’s stage three?
E: That’s the final stage where you select the specific room that you would like.
选项
A、Whether the student can obtain additional time for filing a housing application
B、Whether the student will be able to get a refund for her housing deposit
C、How to arrange university housing for the next year
D、How to apply for the study-abroad program
答案
C
解析
题目询问对话的主题。对话一开始,该学生就明确表示自己是因为担心错过了下一学年住房申请的时间才来找房管职员询问的。接着,房管职员向学生逐一说明了申请住宿的三个阶段。由此可见,对话主要探讨的是C项“如何安排明年的大学住宿”。在对话中,学生询问了住房申请的最后期限,但是没有探讨obtain additional time“获得额外时间”的情况,故排除A项“学生是否能获得额外时间来提交住房申请”。关于refund“退款”的情况,只是该学生在谈话中提到的一个方面,无法概括整个对话的主题,故也排除B项“该学生的房屋押金能否退还”。D项“如何申请留学项目”没有依据。
