8. Why does the Woman want to study in college?

[解析] 题目询问女士为什么要来这所学院上学。根据文意，她想多学点东西，一直想取得教育学的学位，因此可知，选项C(因为她想实现自己的梦想)是正确答案。
[避错指南] 基于对原文的理解，选项A(她想打发时间)和选项B[她想辅导子女的学习)都不是她要学习的原因。选项D(她从未受过教育)不符合原文表述，因为从对话中可以知道她结婚前是受过教育的。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文]
Which of the following is not mentioned as a favorable factor contributing to the woman's study?

[解析] 题目询问哪一个因素不是女士求学的有利因素。根据原文“I've always wanted to have a degree in education.”可知拥有教育学的学位其实正是女士来上学的目的。所以女土并没有教育学的学位，正确答案应为选项D。
[避错指南] 选项A(对学习的兴趣)、选项D(以前的学习经历)、选项C(充裕的时间)都在文中提到过，是促使女士学习的有利因素，所以都应该排除。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文]
What does the end of this conversation suggest?

[解析] 本题考查的是考生对细节信息的把握能力。题目询问对话的结尾暗示了什么，其实也就是在询问这个谈话的最终结果如何。根据男士的话“We will be very glad to have you,”(很高兴你能加入我们。)可知，女士最后被接受，所以正确答案为选项D(校方欢迎女士来校上学)。
[避错指南] 选项B(女士因年龄太大而不能在大学学习)与原文“No one is too old to learn.”(活到老，学到老)相悖，故应排除。选项A(女士的要求被拒)也很容易被排除。选项C(女士要先参加考试才能被录取)纯属无中生有，故应排除。
