【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] M: Come in, please. What can I do for you? W: Professor Donner, are you giving your Advanced Geology course next semester? M: Yes, I'm planning on it. W: Could I be enrolled in it? I know it's a graduate course and I'm only a junior, but ... M: Aren't you a bit young? I've allowed qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up. W: I know. But the geology of the American West is my favorite interest and I've done a lot of reading in the field. Last semester I took Professor Burman's course and I didn't find it really challenging enough. M: I see. You certainly aren't one of those students who are out for easy grades. W: I should say not. I really want to learn something. M: Well, I'll speak to Professor Burman. If he thinks you're ready, I'll let you enroll. W: Oh, thanks. That's really very kind of you. 在第一轮对话中女士首先询问男士是不是打算开一门课，然后在第二轮对话中用问句说明了自己的目的：Could I be enrolled in it，其中的enrol指的是“登记(听课)”，因此答案就是[C] 。
