问题 "Library" [br] What does the librarian imply when she tells the man to return at nine o’clock?
Narrator: Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a librarian.
Librarian: Hi, how can I help you?
Student: Hi, I’m looking for some material on reserve for Business 210.  Q35
Librarian: Okay. Well, who’s the professor? You see, we keep the files under the professor’s name
    because there are a couple of sections and the requirements are a little different...
Student: Oh, okay. It’s, uh, Dr. Parsons.
Librarian: Umhum. Parsons? I don’t see any books...
Student: I think it’s a DVD.
Librarian: Oh, yes. Here it is... Oh, wait, actually, there are two of them. But that’s all right. Now
    all I need is your student ID.
Student: No problem.
Librarian: There you go. Now, these will be due back at the desk in two hours.
Student: Two hours? But that won’t even give me time to go home and...
Librarian: Oh, you can’t leave the library with reserve materials. You have to use them here. But
    we have some DVD players in the booths behind the reference section. I think there are
    several free now.
Student: But I have to take notes and, uh, uh, I don’t think I can get everything done in two hours.
Librarian: Well, you can’t take materials out again until someone else has used them because the
    professor only left one copy of each. Sorry. Look, maybe two hours will be enough.
Student: I don’t think so. These are case studies, and we’re supposed to be able to discuss  Q36
    them.
Librarian: Oh, I see. Well, when do you have class?
Student: Tomorrow morning. I know I should have come in earlier, but this isn’t my only class. I
    had an exam earlier today, and I was just waiting to get that out of the way.
Librarian: I see. Well, look, why don’t you...
Student: Isn’t there any way to get an exception to the policy?
Librarian: I’m afraid not.
Student: Oh. Okay then, let me just check out one of the DVDs. That way, if I finish it, I can check
    out the other one for two hours, right? Librarian:Sure. That’s perfectly fine. And, here’s a thought. I don’t know if it wilt work for you since  Q37
    you have a morning class, but if you checkout reserve material less than two hours
    before the library closes, then you can have it overnight...   Q38
Student: Overnight?
Librarian: Yes, but you have to have it back when the library opens the next day and...
Student: But I could do that. Oh, I’m sorry, you were going to say...
Librarian: Well, if you don’t return the material to the reserve desk when the library opens, then
    there’s a ten-dollar fine for the first hour and a five-dollar fine for every hour after that...
    that it’s late, I mean. The usual fee is one dollar for every hour but when it’s an
    overnight...
Student: Ouch.
Librarian: It’s a stiff fine because we need students to take the privilege seriously. Otherwise,
    other students who need to use the reserve materials wouldn’t have access to them.
Student: Oh, I understand.
Librarian: And another thing. Sometimes more than one person is trying to use the overnight
    privilege so... so sometimes when you wait until the end of the day...
Student: Oh. And there isn’t any way to put your name on a list or anything?
Librarian: No, not really. It’s first come, first served.
Student: Okay. Okay. Then, I think I’ll go ahead and take the one DVD out now because I can
    still try to get the second one tonight overnight, can’t I?
Librarian: Sure. I tell you what, Come back a little before nine.  Q39
Student: Okay, Will you be here? I mean, I’drather come back to you.
Librarian: I’ll be here until the library closes.
Student: Well, then.
Librarian: Do you still want to take out one of the DVDs?
Student: Yeah. I might as well get one of them out of the way so I’ll only have one left to watch.
Librarian: Wait a minute. Your ID.
Student: Oh, I’m sorry, I thought I showed it to you.
Librarian: You did, but I need to keep it here at the desk until you return the materials.

选项 A、She will see the man after work.
B、The library probably closes at eleven.
C、She is too busy to help the man now.
D、Her supervisor will be there at that time.

答案 B

解析 Because reserve materials can be checked out two hours before the library closes, and the librarian tells the man to come back at nine o’clock, she implies that the library will close two hours later, or eleven o’clock.
