问题 PREPARING FOR A SCHOLARSHIP INTERVIEW [br] Sophie works as
S: Hi, Henry. Thanks for coming.
H: No problem, Sophie. I hope I can help. When’s the interview?
S: On Thursday.
H: Which course do you want to do?
S: A Master’s in Development Studies.
H: Whereabouts?
S: In Australia — Melbourne, actually.
H: Well, Melbourne’s a great place. I visited in my semester break.
S: But you studied in Adelaide, didn’t you?
H: Yeah.
S: Why Adelaide?
H: I heard before I applied for the scholarship that most applicants want to go to Sydney or Melbourne, so by choosing Adelaide I thought I’d have a better chance.
S: Do you think I should go to Adelaide? Or not do Development Studies?
H: I think the key is to choose a course you’re really interested in, no matter where it is.
S: Why’s that?
H: Because the workload is heavy. My Master’s was probably the most difficult thing I’ve done in my whole life.
S: I see. Anyway. I bet the interview panel asks the same questions every year. What did they ask you?
H: Firstly, about why I wanted to go to Australia.
S: What did you say?
H: I told them I’d been there already, and I liked it.
S: What else did the panel ask?
H: About my undergraduate degree. About my job. About how a Master’s would improve my performance and the performance of my organisation.
S: Where are you working now?
H: Oh, and they asked about my family — whether I’d take my wife with me.
S: Well, I’m single, and planning to stay that way. As the courses will help me at work, you know I quit my regular job, working in the university library.
H: Yeah, I heard that. What are you doing now?
S: I’m a volunteer at a rehabilitation centre.
H: How ever do you survive, financially?
S: I teach English at night, and I live cheaply.
H: Good for you. You could say an MA would improve your prospects of finding permanent work.
S: I wonder what the interview panel will think about my undergraduate degree. It’s in Russian and History. I studied Russian so I could get a scholarship to Russia for a Master’s degree, but I only lasted six months in Europe.
H: If I were you, I would not mention you already have an incomplete Master. I focus on the work you are doing now. Use phrases like ’grass roots activism’ and ’capacity building’. The panel will love that.
S: Oh? I do worry about my background My family comes from a village on the coast. I seem to recall that most people who were awarded scholarships in the last three years came from big cities and were socially successful.

选项 A、a volunteer.
B、a librarian.
C、a Russian teacher.

答案 A

解析 本题有关Sophie所从事的工作。录音原文中的问句What are you doing now?提示其后为答案。注意题目询问的是现在做的事情,故选A项。B项的librarian为之前的工作,所以排除。C项的Russian和teacher为目扰项,她学过俄语以及去过俄罗斯,但没有做过俄语老师;她现在的经济收入是晚上做英语老师,而不是俄语,所以排除C项。
