问题     In this question, you will listen to a conversation. Then you will be asked to talk about the information in the conversation and give your opinion about the ideas presented. After the question, you will have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak. Listen to a student and a professor discussing a failing grade.

    Question
    The professor and the student talk about two possible solutions to the student’s problem. Describe the problem and then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.
S Hi, sir. Do you have a minute?
P Of course. You’re here to discuss your marks, I presume.
S Is it that obvious? Yes, well ... I’m probably your only failing student.
P No, you’re not alone in that category, but I am a bit concerned because you have a reputation in the department as a good student.
S Yeah, I know. To tell you the truth, I just don’t have the time to do well in all of my classes, so I chose to get good marks in the others and let this one slide. I need to at least pass though. Do I have any options?
P Well, the obvious way is to simply study harder and come to class on time.
S Yeah, I’m really sorry about the whole lateness thing. I come here straight from work, and if I happen to miss the 12:30 bus, I’m guaranteed to be late. Actually, it’s my work schedule that’s preventing me from putting in the hours to do well in your class. It’s really a shame because I like the subject matter, but I wouldn’t have much time to sleep otherwise.
P That’s unfortunate all right. Well, I am giving a tutorial on Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. If you can find the time to come, you’ll have a good chance of passing the next test. If that happens, you would probably pass the course ...
S This Wednesday? Um ... I have work until 5:00 p.m., so normally wouldn’t be able to get here until 6:00 p.m. But then I’d miss the whole tutorial, huh? I’d have to rearrange my shift, but I really need the money ...
P The tutorial will go until 6: 30, but there would be no point in coming at six because you wouldn’t have the context. The choice is up to you.
选项
答案     The student is worried about her mark in the professor’s course. She is failing because she works and doesn’t have enough time to study. If she studies harder as her professor suggests, she can’t get enough sleep. And if she attends a tutorial session later in the week instead of working, she won’t get the money she needs.
    I think the student should change her work shift and attend the tutorial. It is an opportunity for her to pass the course without depriving herself of sleep. If she doesn’t sleep enough, she will not be able to function properly and her marks in other courses may suffer. And I’m sure that she would be able to manage financially with one or two fewer hours of work.
解析 这道题是要求考生在收听对话后，叙述问题，并说明两种解决办法，然后在两种解决办法中选择其一，并回答选择的理由。准备时间是20秒钟，回答时间是60秒钟。在这么短的时间内要求考生必须把握对话的核心内容，正确地把握解决方案，并且从二者当中选其一进行回答，陈述理由。
    参考答案具备了回答这类问题所应具备的所有要素。回答的前半部分归纳了学生存在的问题，以及教授提出的解决问题的两种方法。对因工作而没有时间学习、成绩下滑的学生来说，教授建议学生努力学习，保证上课时间，而且可以参加个别辅导。对此，学生的回答是这样做不能保证睡眠时间，工作时间改变会影响工作收入等等。在回答的后半部分，考生提出了选择改变工作时间、参加个别辅导的解决办法，并提出两点理由：参加个别辅导不用经历睡眠不足的痛苦就能修完成绩下滑的科目，并且还能保持其他科目原有的成绩，偶尔改变工作时间对工作收入不会产生太大影响。
    回答问题尤其需要注意的是要在规定的作答时间内回答问题，正确把握问题的所有要求，合理分配时间。把精力过于集中于问题的一个方面，会忽略其他方面，因此要把握对话的核心含义，最好按下列结构做笔记。
    ——问题内容
    ——解决办法(1)
    ——解决办法(2)→考生的选择-选择的理由(1)
    -选择的理由(2)
    在准备时间内要迅速把握整个内容的框架，平时要多进行这方面的练习。
    针对上面的问题，除了选择参加个别辅导外，还可以选择在平时努力学习，上课时间不迟到的解决方法。按时上课、认真听课，这种方法可以提高修完学分的概率，而且还不影响学习时间和睡眠时间，找其他工作的可能性也比较大。
