【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] 11-14
W: Hello, Parkson College. May I help you?
M: Yes. I'm looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the fall semester.
W: Do you want a day or evening course?
M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day.
W: Aha. Have you taken any courses in data processing?
M: No.
W: Oh! Well, data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming.
M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it is not on Thursdays.
W: Well, there's a class that meets on Monday evenings at 7.
M: Just once a week?
W: Yes. But that's almost 3 hours from 7 to 9:45.
M: Oh! Well, that's alright. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last?
W: Mm, let me see. 12 weeks. You start the first week in September, and finish, oh, just before Christmas. December 21st.
M: And how much is the course?
W: That's 300 dollars including the necessary computer time.
M: Ah-hum. Okay. Eh, where do I go to register?
W: Registration is on the second and third of September between 6 and 9 in Frost Hall.
M: Is that the round building behind the parking lot?
W: Yes, that's the one.
M: Oh, I know how to get there. Is there anything that I should bring with me?
W: No, just your checkbook.
M: Well, thank you very much.
W: You're very welcome. Bye!
M: Bye!

在第二个话轮中,女士询问男士需要的是日间课程还是夜间课程(Do you want a day or evening course),男士先做出了夜间课程的选择,然后明确说明了原因: ...since I work during the day(因为我在白天要工作),因此[C]项就是正确答案。注意,因果关系是听力中的一个重要考点,听音时要格外注意since、because、as等表示原因的关键词。
单选题 what does the man have to do before taking the course of computer programming?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】在第四个话轮中,女士明确指出:data processing is a course you have to take...,即男士如果要选计算机编程,那么得先学数据处理这门课程,因此本题选[B]。事实上,由于data processing这个关键词在对话中重复出现了,并且与问题相符,考生应能很快作答。
单选题 What do we learn about the schedule of the evening course?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】本题难度较大,需要考生综合几个话轮的内容进行归纳。在第五个话轮中女士提到了every Monday,from 7 to 9:45,在第六个话轮中,女士回答上一个话轮中男士提出的How many weeks does the course last这个问题时明确说明12 weeks,并进行了详细说明:start→September,finish→just before Christmas(December 21st)。整合以上信息可知本题正确答案就是[C]。其余三项都与原文不符:[A]项错在Thursday evening,原文中给出的是Monday evening;[B]项中的New Year's eve属于偷梁换柱,原文中为Christmas;[D]项属于计算错误,原文中说每晚3小时、持续12周,总共大约为36小时。
单选题 What does the man want to know at the end of the conversation?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】本题属于明示型细节题,在原文倒数第三个话轮结尾,男士明确提问:Is there anything that I should bring with me,这与[A]项的意思是一致的。由于没有听清对话,有许多考生按常理或主观臆测误选了[B]项,但它在原文中根本没有提及。而在这个话轮中,男士明确表示I know how to get there,故[C]项不对。至于[D],对话中虽然提到了checkbook,但这是女士对男士问题的回答而非男士的发问,故也不对。
