单选题
In the foundation year, students can take up to ______.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文] 6-10
Tutor: Have you settled in?
Anna Maria: Yes, I feel quite at home now. I haven't got used to the food yet, but I'm enjoying
the life on campus.
Tutor: Good. Now we'd better make sure you enjoy your studies. We offer a very wide range
of options on the foundation course, as you know; but you can only take six modules
—do you know what you want to do yet?
Anna Mafia: Yes, more or less, but I'm not sure whether to do biological sciences or German.
Tutor: Well, that's quite a difference. You want to do computer studies, don't you?
Anna Maria: Mmmmm, yeh.
Tutor: Well, let's see—you elected to do physical sciences, basic electronics, art and design
CAD—that computers and design—isn't it?
Anna Maria: Computer-aided design actually, "CAD", but...
Tutor: Oh, right—anyway, CAD and... , and English. That's quite a range. Don't you
want to do maths—or computer programming, for example? Why don't you choose to
do art and design?
Anna Maria: Well, I'm interested in electronics—in computer—especially in writing computer
games. I'd like to produce educational software, educational games, eventually. I've
taught myself a lot of programming—I... I don't think I'd benefit much from a foundation
level course.
Tutor: No... no, I see that—go on.
Anna Maria: So, er, I want the basics—the physical science and electronics I was hopeless at
physics in school and we didn't have electronics—but I was good at maths—I don't
think I need that.
Tutor: And the art and design?
Anna Maria: That will be good for my graphics—I need that to produce games—CAD too—I've
never done CAD before.
Tutor: No—right—they've got some powerful packages in the computer graphics and CAD
offices—you'll enjoy that. So... that leaves English. It's mostly English lit. I know
your English is very good, but did you know you can take English as a foreign language
as one of the modules in the foundation year?
Anna Maria: No... no, I didn't. That's great—if they've got classes at my level. I don't have
any problem speaking—but my writing is terrible.
Tutor: Oh, I'm sure they have—go and talk to them in the EAP department—oh, and I suggest
you join the study-skill classes, too. They will have sessions on report and so on.
Anna Maria: Great—I really need some help with my writing, especially spelling.
Tutor: Well, that would be in the EFL classes—study-skills would help more with how to
structure your essays and so on... now, your last module...
Anna Maria: Yeh... well... I gave up biology at school to do physical—but I much prefer biology
—I'd like to study some more While I can but German is very important in technical
subjects, so I want to do that too.
Tutor: Well, you could do it as an option next year—you do know that?
Anna Maria: No, I don't—I mean, I didn't cheek.
Tutor: Yes... yes, I think that's the thing to do—concentrate on your English this year you
could take Cambridge proficiency—and you'll need LELTS for the first year of the degree
—start the German next year.
Anna Maria: Right—that sounds good.
Tutor: Good. Well, if you have any problems academic or otherwise, just come and see me.
Anna Maria: OK, thanks.
Tutor: I am on extension 7549.
Anna Maria: 7549.
Tutor: That's it—just leave a message if I'im not in the office—OK, if there is nothing
else...
Anna Maria: No... no, that's fine, thanks.
Tutor: Good-bye for now, then.
Anna Maria: Bye.
