问题 [br] What is the academic adviser’s response when she learns that the student has registered for four courses that require final papers?
Listen to a conversation between a student (S) and an academic advisor (A).
A: Nice to see you, Keith. How are your classes going this semester?
S: Yeah, so far so good! I like all my professors and I am really interested in the stuff I am learning.
A: I am glad to hear that.
S: Yeah. Well, I am not so sure about next semester, though.
A: Oh?
S: Yeah, I went back and I was looking through the course descriptions for the four courses that I signed up for...
A: Yes?
S: ...and I noticed that none of them have a final exam. They all have a final paper. And then I did the math and figured out I’d have to hand in more than a hundred pages during the last week of class. I almost fainted.
A: Oh my... I don’t know how I missed that.
S: Well, those courses all sound so interesting and that is all I was thinking about.
A: Yes, but I should have... anyway. So, right now you are registered for...
S: Introduction to world poetry...
A: Ok.
S: The European novel...
A: Ok.
S: Science in the ancient world...
A: Ok.
S: And ... the special seminar on Dr. Martin Luther King Junior.
A: Ok.
S: I need the world poetry and European novel courses for my major, and they are hard to get into, so I think I’d better keep those.
A: Yes, that makes sense. And, what about the other two?
S: I hate to do this, but I think I am going to have to drop both of them.
A: Oh!
S: Yeah. I am so nervous about the literature courses. They are going to be tough, so I should replace the other two.
A: Okay. Well, have you fulfilled your language requirement?
S: No. Foreign language doesn’t come all that naturally to me, so...
A: What did you take in high school?
S: German.
A: Okay, well, how about if we find a German Beginner’s class that still has some seats available?
S: You know, I took that my first two years of high school, so it’s been a few years.
A: Oh, I am sure it’ll come back to you.
S: How about Latin? Would that count toward my language requirement?
A: Sure.
S: Because one of my friends, he signed up for it, and so having someone to study with would be helpful, I think.
A: Great idea! We can even see if there are any seats available in the section your friend is taking. That shouldn’t be a problem!
S: And then I was thinking I could take pre-calculus. I have always done well in math.
A: Great! Now, to take pre-calculus you need to have taken three years of high school math.
S: Yep. And I got straight A’s!
A: And you need to have passed the University’s Mathematic Diagnostic Test.
S: Oh...
A: Well, it’s actually being offered this coming Saturday, if you’re comfortable taking it on such short notice. And you’d get your score back early next week, so you’d still have time to register.
S: Let’s see. Today is Tuesday, so I would have three days to review and brush up a bit. Piece of cake!
A: Ok. Sounds like a plan.

选项 A、She thinks the courses will be easier than the student thinks.
B、She thinks the student should have taken more care when selecting his courses.
C、She feels she should have noticed this situation earlier.
D、She feels the courses will help the student improve his writing skills.

答案 C

解析 细节题。当学生表述选择的四门课都需要完成期末论文而感到很头疼时,导师表达了自己的看法:I don’t know how I missed that.并紧接着说道:but I should have...即表示居然不知道学生做了这样的课程选择,自己本应该给出建议来阻止学生选这四门课的,因此C选项是正确答案。导师肯定这些课程的任务量大,未说明这些课程很容易完成或是对写作提高有帮助,因此A选项和D选项不正确。也并未责备学生选课时不够仔细,因此B选项不正确。
