【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] Now you've only been there this one semester so this is your first experience with students undergoing the pressure of finals, right? I mean I was an undergraduate for four years in New York University (NYU) and I went through finals for 8 terms, 9 counting this one. NYU has a high pressure academic environment. That's why I first started this program. When I was at NYU, my first exposure to the dogs, being brought to help relieve the pressure of finals, was in those of my sophomore or junior year and our building for a stress day. They had just an hour a week you could have a puppy and it was so simple and easy and unique to put on and it drew a lot of attention. It worked truly well. So when I was hired here, I really wanted to expand the program, do it on a much larger scale. How did it work? The way it actually works is we worked with a therapy dog organization called Dog-Bones. So what we do is actually in October, you know, at the height of mid-terms of task. We had both 60 dogs at a time coming in, a total of maybe 12-16 people over a 2-day-period. Some students like to pat the dogs and stay right up on them and especially ones that have dogs at their home or dog people, and someone just sit around and talk with each other and take pictures and do whatever they want to do, but even those people that aren't really patting the dogs are still having fun. It's still part of a really fun environment. I absolutely believe it is effective for anything. It's why they do it in hospitals and in elementary schools. In general, having any kind of break from studying during really stressful periods like midterms and finals is necessary. Talking a half hour out of that, walking around, coming downstairs, completely changing your mindset into something different is really effective in combating some of that stress. Dogs were really really good. They were very good and they loved their bellies rubbed and they loved getting treats from the kids. Or maybe we can persuade Congress to allow some dogs on the Florida House, or the Senate and settle those people down. What was the purpose of the stress day of New York University? 讲座提到，主讲人第一接触狗，是在宿舍楼举行的stress day(解压日)，借助狗医生帮助缓解期末考试的压力(helped relieve the pressure of finals)，B项“缓解学生的考试压力”与此一致。stress day是为了缓解考试压力，并没有提到“让学生集中注意力去学习”，A项不正确。C项错在“分析”(analyze)一词，录音是说“缓解压力”，而非“分析压力”。D项“与二年级学生分享经验”只是利用sophomore一词制造干扰，该项内容并未在录音中提到。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] What do students do in the program? 据主讲人介绍，活动中学生们要么抚摸狗医生，要么聚在一起聊天、拍照或做自己喜欢做的事情，享受活动的乐趣，C项“与狗待在一起”概括了活动的重点，是正确选项。这个活动是让学生释放考试压力，而不是A项所说的“让学生备考”。B项的take care of有误，活动中学生只和狗一起玩耍，并非照顾狗，而且录音中也没有说这些狗是流浪狗，故排除B项。活动中学生们不仅仅是和朋友聚会，活动的重点是借小狗缓解压力，D项表述不准确。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] What method is effective in combating study stress? 主讲人在最后重申狗医生的效果，并概括其他一些减压建议，如抽出半小时不去想考试、散散步、下宿舍楼、完全将你的思绪转到其他东西上(completely changing your mindset into something different)，A项与最后一条相符，其中switching与changing同义。B项的干扰在于混淆了狗医生和宠物狗的作用。C项“在宿舍楼内爬楼梯”是利用coming downstairs作干扰，录音说要“下(宿舍)楼”目的是暂时脱离考试，而不是真的是要去爬楼梯。D项“享受期中和期末考试”并非主讲人提出的建议，故排除。
