M: Professor Day. May I see you for a minute?
W: Sure. Come on in. What's the matter?
M: I' ve got a problem. I need your technical writing class, so I went early to the registration area, but by the time I got to the front of the line, it was closed. See, my advisor signed my course request and everything.
W: That' s a big class already. If it is closed, that means I have 50 students in it now.
M: I' m not surprised. It' s a really good class and many students want to attend it.
W: Can' t you take it next year? We offer it every fall.
M: Well, that' s the problem. I' m supposed to be graduating this spring. But, of course, I can' t graduate without your class.
W: I see. In that case, I' ll sign for you. It looks like there will be 51. Take this form back to the registration area. They will get you in.

男生必须上实用写作这门课，虽然他很早赶去排队注册，可快到他的时候课程满员系统关闭，他只好向教授求助。本题看似考细节，其实考主旨，答案需要综合整则对话内容，尤其要注意“I’ll sign for you”这句话。

A、 Students attend it because it is required.
B、 The student likes the course very much.
C、 It is so popular that students line up to get registered.
D、 The professor offers the course every term.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文]
What do we know about this course?

不难选出C项作为正确项，但A项的干扰性相当大，虽然说话人必须修这门课才能毕业，但它不一定是其他专业学生的必修课。 “I’m not surprised．It’s a really good class and many students want to attend it．”这句话明确告诉我们，选课的人多是因为上课内容精彩。

A、 Allow the student to take the class this term.
B、 Allow the student to take the class next year.
C、 Permit the student to graduate without the class.
D、 Let the student to attend another class.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]
What does Professor Day decide to do?

本题答案在对话结束部分，浏览选项时可以推测出题方向和另一说话人的某一决定相关。从对话中可知，教授最后同意签字，男生凭该表格可以破格在这学期选上课。其实根据常识完全可以排除C项。
