【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]
   M: I know it's early but do you know anything about the first assignment that we have to do?
   W: Yes, it's already up on the economics faculty notice board. There's a choice of essays up there. I think there are about 10 you can choose from. I can't remember any of the titles though apart from the one that I think I'm going to write about.
   M: What's that one then?
   W: It's about the short-term future of third world economies.
   M: Ooh. I don't like the sound of that. It seems very wide-ranging.
   W: It is but remember that I spent some of the summer vacation travelling in Africa and Asia so that has made me more interested in the subject and I've also got some firsthand ideas on the subject.
   M: Does the essay list mention how long the essays have to be and the deadlines?
   W: Yes. You remember that last year all the essays had to be 3,000 words in length? Well, that's gone up by a thousand words!
   M: Oh no! They'll take ages.
   W: I know. I was hoping that they'd stay at 3,000 words or only go up to 3,500, but no luck I'm afraid.
   M: What about the deadline?
   W: The first one has to be in by the 30th October and the second by the 30th November. It looks like one essay a month like last year.
   M: Well at least that hasn't changed but as it's the end of September now, that leaves only a month to get the first one done. I'm going to have got onto that straight away.
   W: Yes, you'd better. If you want to talk about it, I'm going to be at the campus cafeteria at 1:30 for lunch. We could go over some questions.
   M: OK. See you then. Bye.
   W: Bye.
根据录音中的“There's a choice of essays up there. I think there are about 10 you can choose from.”意思就是，可以选择的论文题目有大约10个。因此，该判断正确。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 题目涉及到该女士的论文方向，录音中与此相关的表达是“It's about the short-term future of third world economies.”由此可见，她的论文方向是“第三世界的经济学”，而不仅仅特指“亚洲和非洲的经济学”，题目犯了以偏概全的错误。因此，该判断错误。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 题目中涉及到论文的字数要求。录音中没有明确表明字数，但是根据表达“I was hoping that they'd stay at 3,000 words or only go up to 3,500, but no luck I'm afraid.”由此可见，3500字只是该女士所期盼的，而真实的字数要求肯定超过了3500字。因此，该判断错误。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 录音中提到“The first one has to be in by the 30th October and the second by the 30th November.”由此可见，第二篇论文上交的截止日期是11月30号，而不是10月底。因此，该判断错误。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】 推理题。录音中的女士提到“If you want to talk about it, I'm going to be at the campus cafeteria at 1:30 for lunch. We could go over some questions.”由此可见，两人将会商讨论文的相关问题。因此，该判断正确。
