单选题 What is Dr. Francis?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] 6-10 M: Oh, hello, Li Ming. Come on in, and how're you been keeping recently? W: Quite all right, thanks, Dr. Francis. How's your project going? M: Very smoothly, I should say. I'm playing a consultancy role, really. I've only been here in China a month, but I'm already on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I'm happy that you could come. Do sit down, please. W: Dr. Francis, do you know I've got a chance to go to Cambridge in August? I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain. M: Certainly. Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Enn, in fact, I've never been to Cambridge. But well,.., yes, I'm sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Li Ming? W: Things like weather. What's the usual temperature there? M. Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22, or 23 degrees Centigrade, on average, I think. But Cambridge would be warmer, around 25, I would guess, because it's down south. W: Oh, that's nice. Do you know it is 34 here? Last year it reached 39. By the way, where do you think I should stay? M: Oh, that's important. You can, err,.., I suppose, stay in the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient. W: Yes, it would. M: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense, separated from ordinary society. You're a language teacher, and I think learning from society is a valuable experience. W: Yes, yes, exactly, so what's the alternative? M: Maybe finding an English host family. I know of a student All from the Middle East. He told me that he had learnt a lot by staying with a British family. W: Thank you, I think it's quite a good suggestion. By the way, Dr. Francis, do you think I could...? Dr. Francis提到和Department of Computer Science(计算机科学部)的同事们相处的很好,可知他是该部的专家。
