问题 What will the woman spend the evening doing? [br] What does the woman think tutoring will prepare her for?
Listen to a conversation on a college campus. (M = Man, W = Woman)
M: Amy, a bunch of us are probably going to ditch the dining hall and go for pizza tonight. If you’re free, you can meet us at the east gate at seven.
W: You know, I’d love to, but I have tutoring tonight
M: Tutoring? I can’t imagine you needing help with a class.
W: The tutoring I’m talking about is tutoring for someone else-though, now that you mention it, physics has been giving me more problems than usual this semester.
M: I find that hard to believe. Uh, so are you tutoring one of the lowerclassmen, or something?
W: Actually, no, I go downtown to tutor a few students at the high school.
M: High school kids? Wow. In math or something?
W: Right. You’ve probably read about this in the paper, but the city’s trying to raise the standards for its math classes. The problem is, a lot of the kids are behind when they get to junior high school.
M: So you help them get caught up.
W: Basically. I have three students for forty-five minutes each on Wednesday night. So I’m there from 6: 00 p.m. to 8: 30 p.m. or so.
M: Isn’t that late for kids to be still at school?
W: Well, they’d be doing homework at that hour if they were home, anyway. The thing is, most of the tutors are students here at the university, so our classes aren’t over until late afternoon. And the city education department likes us. We’re good at what we do, but we volunteer, so the program doesn’t cost a lot beyond, you know, the heat and electricity to keep the high school open at night.
M: Can you afford to take that much time away from your own studying?
W: Some weeks it’s kind of hard, but, I mean, when I go to grad school, I’m going to have to start teaching physics to students as a professor’s assistant, anyway. I may as well get used to teaching with easier material and just one student at a time.
M: And it must be nice to help people.
W: Definitely. That goes without saying. Forty-five minutes a week isn’t much time, but all three of my students have improved in the months we’ve worked together. It’s really inspiring.
M: Cool.
W: So, anyway, sorry about dinner. It sounds like fun, and if it were any other night…
M: Hey, I understand. Have fun, and I guess I’ll see you in class tomorrow morning.

选项 A、Her upcoming math tests
B、Her duties as a graduate student
C、A job as a high school teacher
D、A job at the city education department

答案 B

解析 题目问女士认为上辅导课可以为什么做准备。在对话的后半部分,女士说,等她读研的时候,她也得开始作为教授助理去教学生们物理。从这句话可以推断,女士目前的辅导经历将帮助她准备好面对读研时需要教学生们物理的情况。故选B项“她作为研究生的职责”。A项“她即将到来的数学考试”、C项“当高中老师”和D项“在市教育局工作”均没有依据。
