问题   You will now listen to a conversation. You will then be asked a question about it. After you hear the question, you will have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.
Question: The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman’s problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then explain what you think the woman should do and why.
M: Anna, you look worried!
W: Yes, I am. We’re supposed to read Babbit for my English Literature class and...
M: .. .and you never had a chance to read it, right?
W: Very funny. No, it’s just that the bookstore is sold out of all their copies and the library copy was just checked out yesterday. So I don’t have a book and can’t find one!
M: If that is a problem, I believe you can order the book online.
W: I know that. But it’ll take them probably a week to deliver it. I’ll barely have enough time to read it before we have to discuss it in class, AND write a paper too.
M: True. How about just buy a used book? This town has a couple of used book shops. You’re bound to find Babbit somewhere.
W: A used book? No thanks. A used book will probably have notes written by other students. I prefer taking my own notes, in my own nice, clean book. Other people’s ideas distract me.
M: Oh, well... in any case, I hope you get it figured out.
选项
答案 The woman in the conversation faces a problem that she needs to read a fiction for her class, but she cannot find it in the bookstore nor the library.
Her friend suggests that she either order the book online or buy a used copy. True, a used book might have the previous owner’s notes: however, she can ignore any notes if she really concentrates on her reading. The previous notes from other students can also help her understand the book and give her some ideas for the upcoming discussion.
Also, the delivery speed is uncertain and wastes the time she could otherwise spend in reading and thinking about the book. So the woman should buy a used copy of the book right away.
解析     题目中考生应重点把握学生的问题，即学生想读一本指定书但是书店和图书馆都没有。在文中则是I don’t have a book and can’t find one!
