问题 Choose the correct letter, A, B or C. [br] During many presentations by students, Antonio feels that
(Borvnie=B   Antonio=A)
B: Hi, Antonio.
A: Hi, Bonnie. How are you?
B: Fine. I’m relieved to have done my presentation!
A: I’m sure! How did it go?
B: Oh, OK in the end, but I was ever so nervous beforehand. It’s silly because I do know my stuff quite well. I must know those statistics inside out, but when you have to get each table of results to come up in the right order, it can make you nervous. It was my first time using the computerised projector, and I was sure I was going to get the controls wrong, or something.  And of course, that’s not a good situation, if you know you’ve got to listen to questions carefully and be ready to answer quickly.
A: But it was fine once you got going?
B: Yes.
A: I do feel that the standard of presentations could be improved in general. I think a lot of the lecturers agree with me, although I don’t honestly know what they can be expected to do about it. Students need to appreciate the difference between style and content. Too many presentations are just a mass of detailed content — all very worthy — without any attempt to engage people’s interest. Basic things, like looking at your audience’s faces, seem to get forgotten. And that makes it harder to concentrate on the points made about the research itself.
B: Yes, there are quite a few improvements I’d like to see. Take tutorials, for example. I feel they’re often a missed opportunity. I come out not feeling sure about what I’ve learnt. Week in week out, I faithfully plough through the reading list, which is fair enough, but then the discussion doesn’t seem to extract the main issues. It’s frustrating.
A: Hmm, I know what you mean. Mind you, we have to take some responsibility ourselves. I actually got quite a lot from that skills workshop I went to on taking notes, and I’d like to make similar improvements in the next semester. The reading list we get has several websites each time, and I want to learn to navigate my way round them more effectively.
B: That sounds a good idea. Mind you, it means spending more time in the library...
A: If you can get in...
B: You mean because it’s too crowded? It isn’t big enough, is it?
A: Well, I don’t know. I mean,I like to work late in the evening, and it shuts before I want to finish. But I know you can access the catalogue from a laptop.
B: Which personally I haven’t got. Actually, the problem for me is thatI like to get up early and start work straight away, and they don’t start until 9, I wish they’d change that.

选项 A、the discussion of research methods is not detailed enough.
B、lecturers do not show enough interest in their students’ work.
C、the student does not make enough eye contact with the audience.

答案 C

解析 本题询问Antonio听过的多次由学生做的报告中,他发现的问题是什么。他认为,演讲者经常忘记一些基本的事情,比如和观众进行眼神接触(looking at your audience’s faces),这使得集中注意力更加困难,故选C项。他指出,大多数报告都只是大量细节内容堆积在一起,说明报告内容过于详细,故A项错误。录音中Antonio提到学生需要提高做报告的质量,他认为讲师也有同样的感觉,虽然并不知道讲师对学生的报告作何期待。也就是说,学生做的报告虽然质量较差,可讲师还是抱有较大的热情,故B项错误。
