What are the speakers mainly discussing? [br] What does the student say about the national debate tournament?
Listen to a conversation between a student and her art history professor. (S = Student, P = Professor)
S: Thanks for meeting with me. I’m sorry I couldn’t attend yesterday’s lecture, but I’m on our university’s debate team and we’re on our way back from Texas.
P: Now that’s a trip.
S: Yeah. Well, our team was one of 78 from all around the country participating in the national debate tournament that was held in Texas this year.
P: Well, when something like that comes along, the choice is clean, isn’t it? So what was the focus for this year’s event?
S: Well, the key topic was whether or not the US government should decrease its subsidies for agriculture.
P: Huh, thought-provoking. So how do we end up?
S: Not too bad. We came in fifth of them all, lots of good arguments and some persuasive statements from competitors, though. They’re with really tough process. So anyway, what were in yesterday? I heard something about an assignment.
P: Yes. Well, to begin with, the focus of the lecture was on the artist Alexander Calder.
S: I think I’ve seen a painting of his on the first floor of this building’s lobby, right?
P: Good eye. That’s right. But he’s not just simply a painter. This handout will direct you to the pages in the textbook that provided an in-depth analysis of his work. It’s true, yes, he did start off by making paintings. However, he also had a strong interest in sculpture and it’s precisely in this area that he ended up shaking up the art world because he took sculpture in a completely different direction.
S: Well, that sounds intriguing. In what way exactly?
P: As you see, sculptures had always been stationary pieces. They are never moved. But Alexander Calder added movement to the equation. He created a unique form of art: the mobile.
S: Oh, you mean the things that hang over baby cribs, shape the move and tour around. Huh, talk about art that is widespread appeal.
P: Well, those are just mobiles of the most simplistic form. You know, initially Calder achieved movement of the separate metal pieces of the sculpture through the use of a motor.
S: But that’s kind of technical; isn’t it for a work of art?
P: Perhaps it was his early training in mechanics and engineering that opened his mind to that possibility. But then later he focused on using the gentle motion of the wind. You see he wanted these artistic pieces to surprise the viewer, to constantly reshape themselves, present themselves in this way. Hopefully the class assignment will show you the intricacy in detail that are involved in his pieces. So on your own time you’re required to go view his exhibits at the Guggenheim Museum, and do a retrospective on his works and it’s a perfect opportunity to get a more complete sense of the impressive range of his works over the life of his artistic career.
选项
A、The tournament site was further away than she would have liked.
B、She was satisfied with her team’s performance at the tournament.
C、More teams were allowed to compete this year.
D、This year’s debate topic was unusually complex.
答案
B
解析
题目询问这名学生提到了辩论赛的哪些方面。在对话中。教授问学生辩论赛的结果,学生回答 “还不错,我们拿了第五名……”。也就是说,该学生对比赛结果还算满意,故选B项。A项“赛场比她想要的更远”、C项“今年允许更多的队伍参赛”和D项“今年的辩论题目异常复杂”都没有依据。
