What are the speakers mainly discussing? [br] Listen again to part of the conversation. Then answer the following question. Why does the professor say this?
Listen to a conversation between a student and her art history professor. (S = Student, P = Professor)
S: Thanks for meeting with me. I’m sorry I couldn’t attend yesterday’s lecture, but I’m on our university’s debate team and we’re on our way back from Texas.
P: Now that’s a trip.
S: Yeah. Well, our team was one of 78 from all around the country participating in the national debate tournament that was held in Texas this year.
P: Well, when something like that comes along, the choice is clean, isn’t it? So what was the focus for this year’s event?
S: Well, the key topic was whether or not the US government should decrease its subsidies for agriculture.
P: Huh, thought-provoking. So how do we end up?
S: Not too bad. We came in fifth of them all, lots of good arguments and some persuasive statements from competitors, though. They’re with really tough process. So anyway, what were in yesterday? I heard something about an assignment.
P: Yes. Well, to begin with, the focus of the lecture was on the artist Alexander Calder.
S: I think I’ve seen a painting of his on the first floor of this building’s lobby, right?
P: Good eye. That’s right. But he’s not just simply a painter. This handout will direct you to the pages in the textbook that provided an in-depth analysis of his work. It’s true, yes, he did start off by making paintings. However, he also had a strong interest in sculpture and it’s precisely in this area that he ended up shaking up the art world because he took sculpture in a completely different direction.
S: Well, that sounds intriguing. In what way exactly?
P: As you see, sculptures had always been stationary pieces. They are never moved. But Alexander Calder added movement to the equation. He created a unique form of art: the mobile.
S: Oh, you mean the things that hang over baby cribs, shape the move and tour around. Huh, talk about art that is widespread appeal.
P: Well, those are just mobiles of the most simplistic form. You know, initially Calder achieved movement of the separate metal pieces of the sculpture through the use of a motor.
S: But that’s kind of technical; isn’t it for a work of art?
P: Perhaps it was his early training in mechanics and engineering that opened his mind to that possibility. But then later he focused on using the gentle motion of the wind. You see he wanted these artistic pieces to surprise the viewer, to constantly reshape themselves, present themselves in this way. Hopefully the class assignment will show you the intricacy in detail that are involved in his pieces. So on your own time you’re required to go view his exhibits at the Guggenheim Museum, and do a retrospective on his works and it’s a perfect opportunity to get a more complete sense of the impressive range of his works over the life of his artistic career.
选项
A、To indicate that he does not approve of the student’s choice
B、To encourage the student to take trips all around the country
C、To let the student know that he excuses her absence
D、To find out what is important to the student
答案
C
解析
在讲座中,学生说自己要去得克萨斯州参加辩论赛。所以无法上课,然后教授就说了录音中的这句话。可见,教授的意思是,在参加辩论赛和上课之间做选择的话,明显应该选择前者。也就是说,教授接受了这个缺课的理由,故选C项“让学生知道他原谅了她的缺席”。A项“表明他不赞成学生的选择”与教授的说法相反。B项“鼓励学生到全国各地旅行”和D项“找出对学生来说最重要的是什么”都是利用个别词语拼凑的选项,教授并没有这些意思。
