问题  
M: Hi, I’d like to drop off my graduation form. I understand you need this in order to process my diploma.
W: OK, I’ll take that. Uh, before you leave, let me check our computer. It looks like you’re OK for graduation and... hmm... Actually, I’m getting a warning flag on your academic record here.
M: Really?
W: Yeah, let’s see what’s what. Uh, OK, are you familiar with our graduation requirements?
M: I think so.
W: Then you know you need 48 credits in your major field to graduate, and at least 24 credits at the intermediate level or higher. Also, after your second year, you have to meet with your department chair to outline a plan for the rest of your time here. In the past, we also issued letters before a student’s final year began to let them know what they needed to take in their final year to be OK. But we don’t do that anymore.
M: I definitely met with my chairperson two years ago. He told me that I needed eight more courses at the intermediate level or higher in the last two years to be OK. So I’m not sure what the problem is. I made sure I got those credits.
W: Unfortunately, the computer’s usually pretty reliable, so I’m not sure what’s going on here.
M: It could be that I’ve taken two basic courses but coupled both of them with field experiences.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, I could only take intro courses because there were no intermediate-level courses available for those particular topics. My chairperson told me that if I did independent field research in addition to the assigned work in each course, they would count as intermediate-level courses. Some of my classmates did this for an easy way to meet the intermediate course requirement. But I did it to get the kind of depth in those topics I was going for. As it turned out, I really enjoyed the fieldwork. It was a nice supplement to just sitting and listening to lectures.
W: I’m sure that’s true, but the computer’s still showing them as basic-level courses, despite the fieldwork.
M: I’m not sure what to do, then. I mean, should I cancel my graduation party?
W: No! No reason to get worried like that. Just contact your chairperson immediately, OK? Tell him to call me as soon as possible so that we can verify your fieldwork arrangement and certify those credits right away. It’s not like there’s an actual deadline today or anything, but if more than a few weeks go by, we might have a real problem that would be very difficult to fix in time for you to graduate.
M: I’ll get on that.
This is the end of Conversation One.
Questions 1-5 are based on Conversation One.
1. What does the woman find in the man’s academic record?
2. What does the man have to do after his second year?
3. What did the man learn from the chairperson?
4. What is the problem of the man’s academic record?
5. What will the man probably do next?

选项 A、Obtain 24 credits at the intermediate level.
B、Schedule a plan with the department chair.
C、Wait for an instruction letter to be issued.
D、Figure out what he needs in the final year.

答案 B

解析 ①选项都是动词短语原形,推断问题可能与行为动作相关。②问题问男士在第二年结束之后应该做什么。女士指出男士应该与系主任见面(meet with your department chair)制定一个计划(outline a plan)以完成余下学业,B项schedule a plan with the department chair是其同义转换,为正确答案。③A“获取中级课程24个学分”是graduation requirements“毕业要求”的最低标准,不是第二年之后要做的。女士指出以前官方会寄出相关信件告知学生最后一年要做什么,但现在已没有这项服务(we don’t do that anymore),所以C“等待指示信的下达”错误。对话中指出学生需要和系主任商量制定余下学年的计划,而非D项所说的在最后一年自己弄清楚(figure out)。
