【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] 22-25 M: Good morning, Dr. Smith. My name is Peter. I am a freshman in your department. There are a few things that I am not quite sure of and I do need your advice. W: Thank you very much for your trust, Peter. As your academic advisor I will try my best to help you. M: Thanks. It's about my major... W: Well, what's the matter? M: I used to major in English, but now I have made up my mind to switch to Applied Linguistics, concentrating on Teaching English as a Foreign Language. W: So you want to switch majors? M: Yes. But I wonder if it is possible. W: Well, usually we allow it, as long as you have enough credits. M: That's good news for me. I'm not interested in literature and that sort of thing. I want to be a real teacher, Professor. But I'm worried about the make-up credits. W: You usually do have to make up some credits when you switch majors. Are you OK on credits? M: Not too many. I'll have to add about 12 credits as far as I can. figure from my transcript. Would you please let me know how many credits are required to get a master's degree? W: Usually thirty-six credits are needed, ff you take five courses per term, you'll have enough credits after just two semesters. Usually each course is worth three credits. To get the six remaining credits you either prepare a thesis or take two more courses. M: Is there anything else besides the 36 credits for the master's? W: You have to have an oral defense. M: I see.I really appreciate your help,Professor. W: Glad I can help.Good luck.Peter. [解析] 对话开头,女士说“作为你的academic ad-visor,我会尽力帮助你的”,因此答案为B。 [点睛] 虽然男士称女士为professor,但我们不能判断她是不是教literature,何况男士不喜欢literature,故A不对;C、D均未提及。对话开头处常出题。
单选题 Why does the man resort to the woman?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 男士先自我介绍,然后紧接着说明目的:想从英语专业转到应用语言学专业,故A正确。 [点睛] 对话中男士的确询问了补学分和拿学位的问题,但这些并不是他求助于女士的根本原因,他主要是想咨询转专业的相关事宜,故C、D均不正确。把握对话的主旨,就不难得出答案。
单选题 Why does the man want to take up Teaching English as a Foreign Language?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 男士说,他对文学没有兴趣,他想成为一名真正的老师。这说明他对目前的专业没兴趣,故选C。 [点睛] A、B在对话中均未提及;男士想把专业换成应用语言学(Applied Linguistics),并非因为他擅长此专业,而是出于对从事教育工作的兴趣,故D错误。
单选题 How many credits should the man obtain to get a master's degree?
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 对话中女士说,(要取得硕士学位)需要36个学分,故选D。 [点睛] 四个选项都是具体的学分,应边听边做笔记。由对话可知,男士还需获取12个学分方可转到应用语言学专业(即B);A选项无从考证;每门课程值3个学分(即C),均不符合题意,故排除。
