M: Hi, Professor. I was hoping I could have a moment of your time if you’ re not too busy. [5] I’ m having some problems getting started on my dissertation and I was hoping you could give me some advice on how to begin.
W: Sure. I have quite a few students though. So can you remind me what your topic is?
M: The general topic I chose is aesthetics, but that’ s as far as I’ ve got. I don’ t really know where to go from there.
W: [6] Yeah, that’ s much too large a topic. You really need to narrow it down in order to make it more accessible. Otherwise you’ 11 be writing a book.
M: Exactly. That’ s what I wanted to ask you about. I was hoping it would be possible for me to change topics. [7] I’ m really more interested in nature than beauty.
W: [8] I’ m afraid you have to adhere to the assigned topic. Still, if you’ re interested in nature, then that certainly can be worked into your dissertation. We’ ve talked about Hume before in class. Right?
M: Oh yeah, he’ s the philosopher who wrote about where our ideas of beauty come from.
W: Exactly. I suggest you go to the library and get a copy of his biography. Start from there, but remember to stick to the parameters of the assignment. This paper is a large part of your cumulative grade. So make sure to follow the instructions. If you take a look at his biography, you can get a good idea of how his life experiences manifest themselves in his theories of beauty, specifically the way he looked towards nature as the origin of what we find beautiful.
M: Great. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, Professor. I’ll let you get back to class now.
W: If there’ s anything else you need, please come to see me in my office any time.

答案 D

解析 题干问的是男士遇到的问题是什么。对话开头男士说他在开始写论文时遇到了一些问题,希望教授对于如何着手写论文给出建议,故答案为D(他不知道如何着手写论文)。A项(他太忙了以至于不能及时完成分配的任务)和C项(他不理解教授的指示)对话中均未提及,故排除。对话中男士提到他的论文主题是美学,B项(他不知道写什么主题的论文)与对话内容不符,故排除。
