W: Well, before we decide we’re going to live in Enderby, we really ought to have a look at the schools; we want the children to have a good secondary education, so we’d better see what’s available.
M: They gave me some information at the district office and I took notes. It appears there are five secondary schools in Enderby: three state schools and two private.
W: I don’t know if we want private schools, do we?
M: I don’t think so, but we’ll look at them anyway. The Saint Mary’s, that’s a Catholic school for girls, and Carlton Abbey—that’s a very old boys’ boarding school, founded in 1672.
W: Are all the state schools coeducational?
M: Yes, it seems so.
W: I think little Keith is going to be very good with his hands, we ought to send him to a school with good vocational training—carpentry, electronics, that sort of thing.
M: In that case we are best off at Enderby Comprehensive. I gather they have excellent workshops and instructors. But it says here that Donwell also has good facilities. Enderby High has a little, but they are mostly academic. No vocational training at all at Carlton Abbey or Saint Mary’s.
W: What are the schools like academically? How many children go on to university every year?
M: Well, Enderby High is very good—and Carlton Abbey even better 70% of their pupils go on to university. Donwell isn’t so good. Only 8%. And Enderby Comprehensive and Saint Mary’s not much more, about 10%.
W: Well, it seems like there is a broad selection of schools. But we’ll have to find out more than statistics before we can decide.

解析 选项均以动词原形开头,可能是关于做什么的。题目问的是谈话双方下一步会做什么。对话最后女士指出选择很多,但是还是要在做决定之前多找一些其他信息。由此可知他们应该还会继续找信息再做出决定,所以正确答案是D)。
