单选题 What does the student need from the library?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文] 30-34
Librarian Good morning! Can I help you?
Student Good morning! I'm looking for a reference book.
Librarian OK. What kind of reference book?
Student A book related to my major.
Librarian Do you know the title?
Student Well, that's the thing. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for.
Librarian That's a problem.
Student Yeah, I just need a reference book to help me with the special difficulties.
Librarian OK, you can check what kind of book you want in our E-library.
Student Uh, let's see...Would you would you like to show me how to use it?
Librarian OK, well, look, click here, you can find that these are guides to resources on topics that are of interest to the students. Each guide pulls together resources that are available throughout the library and those that can be obtained freely from the Internet, in a given subject area.
Student Then what resources can I access to in the E-library?
Librarian Databases, E-journals, print sources, microforms, audio-visual materials, etc.
Student That's great.
Librarian Uh huh...These guides are targeted at specific information needs of various user groups in the university. For example, there are six to support our faculty and researchers in the School of Engineering: each tailor-made for each department of the School.
Student Great!
Librarian We also have guides for specific subjects, such as " Environment" and "Traditional Chinese Medicine". These are 3 of the topics that our university has selected as "high impact areas" and will place special research emphasis on.
Student Oh, that's quite convenient. It's easier for us to find the books we need quickly.
Librarian Yeah, ...These guides facilitate our users' information search by directing them to the core sources and methods for locating materials. Usage statistics indicate that in November 2001 alone, these guides were accessed 25090 times from on-campus locations. They are updated on an ongoing basis.
Student Yeah, OK. I am quite interested in business and management.
Librarian So you just look for your favorite sub-branches here. You see, here are sub-branches for: Company Information, Competitive Intelligence, Doing Business in China, E-commerce, Economic Indicators, Trends and Forecasts, etc.
Student There are so many!
Librarian Yeah, you just clink on them, and then you can find the books on these topics.
Student Yeah, I think I know how to use the E-library now, thanks a lot!
Librarian You're welcome! You can read the E-book here in the library or go to the shelves to find the books you want and borrow them. I hope you can find your favorites.
Student OK, maybe it will take me some time, but it's easier than searching for them on the shelves directly.
Librarian Yeah, it should be easier than that.
[解析] 本题为细节题,考查考生能否听懂对话中一些重要的细节和事实。题目问:学生想从图书馆借什么书?从“Well, that's the thing. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for”可知,他并不清楚自己要找什么书,所以选A。
单选题 Where will the student and the librarian look for the information the student needs?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题为要点题,因为该对话发生在学生和图书馆管理员之间,要点当然是如何借书或获取信息等。题目问:学生和图书馆管理员将从哪里获得学生需要的信息?答案显然是电子图书馆,所以选B。
单选题 What can we infer from the titles the student was looking at?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题仍为细节题。题目问:从学生所看的标题中我们可以知道什么?从学生的话“I am quite interested in business and management”可知,他在看商务类和管理类的标题,说明他对这些书比较感兴趣,所以选C。
单选题 What does the library NOT permit students to do?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题还为细节题。题目问:图书馆不允许学生做什么?管理员说:“You can read the E-book here in the library or go to the shelves to find the books you want and borrow them.”因此,可知学生可以在电子图书馆看书(选项A),利用电子图书馆查找资料(选项C),也可以去书架借书(选项D),但是不能在图书馆下载电子图书,所以选B。
单选题 What does the student mean when he says this?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题为语用理解题,考查考生是否明白说话者谈话的目的。题目问:学生说这话是什么意思?他说话吞吞吐吐,犹豫不决,可见是怕麻烦管理员,所以选C。
