【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Good evening, Professor. My name is Alice Brown. M: Good evening, Alice. What is your question? W: I've been studying Spanish for some years. I go to Spain on holiday some times. I've learnt quite a lot of grammar and vocabulary. {{U}}But I find it very difficult to speak, and when I went to Spain this summer I couldn't understand the Spanish people at all. I got really disheartened.{{/U}} M: Yes, it is a problem. How long have you been studying Spanish? W: About four years. M: Yes, how exactly? Go to an evening class, using tapes? W: {{U}}I've been going to an evening class and I've watched quite a lot of the BBC television programmes.{{/U}} M: Oh, they're very good. Did you buy the BBC book? W: No, we just use a different book in the class. M: Yes, I see, Alice. I always think that learning a language is rather like learning to drive. Now, you couldn't learn to drive a car by sitting in a classroom or watching television. I think what you need is a lot of practise in using the language. W: That's all very well if you live in the country where they speak the language, but I don't. M: Yes, I understand the problem. Though even if you live in the country where the language is spoken, you have to reach a certain standard before you are able to have conversations with the natives. {{U}}I was thinking perhaps you might arrange with another student or students to have regular conversation practise.{{/U}} W: I see what you mean. Thank you very much, Professor. M: You are welcome, Alice. What made Alice feel disheartened? [解析] 根据对话中提到的But I find it very difficult to speak, and when I went to Spain...couldn't understand the Spanish people at all...disheartened.可知，艾丽斯感到沮丧的原因是她不能跟西班牙人很好地交流，B的内容与此一致，故为答案。 but转折处常设为考点，其后的内容通常为答案所在。
