D
【答案解析】[听力原文]19-21
W: Oh, hi, Daniel. (19) Are you going to the in-service gaining today?
M: You bet. I missed the training session last month, so I have to be sure to make this one. Aren't you excited about the program?
W: Not really. (19)(20) Before I became a nurse I drove an ambulance and had a lot of emergency medical training. Practicing basic first aid techniques is a kind of boring for me.
M: Well I can understand that. But you know, it's amazing how quickly you get out of practice. (21) As nurses in a hospital, we have all the fancy equipment for medical emergencies-and plenty of doctors around, so we hardly ever get a chance to practice basic techniques. They're really easy to forget. And you know that practice makes perfect.
W: I can see your point, and it never hurts to review what you're already supposed to know. By the way, who's teaching the class this time?
M: Dr. Huston. She's the new emergency room physician.
W: Well, she certainly ought to know what she's talking about. I've heard she's a really good surgeon.
M: That's right. I've been taking care of some of the patients she worked on, and they all think highly of her.
W: When are you going to head over to the classroom?
M: Immediately. I'm just on my way there. Do you want to walk over together?
W: That sounds good to me. Let's go and prepare for the training.
19.Where is this conversation probably taking place?
[听前猜测] 四个选项均为表示地点的介词短语,表明本题可能考查做某事的地点。
[精解] 女士问男士是不是要去在职培训(in-service training),男士说准备去。而女士说在她成为护士之前就已经学习过很多急救常识(emergency medical training)。对话中出现很多和医院有关的单词,由此可知,两名对话人为医护工作者,对话发生的地点在医院。故正确答案为D)。
