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 fourth 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’s not on Thursdays.
W: Well, there’s a class that meets on Monday evenings at seven.
M: Just once a week?
W: Yes. But that’s almost three hours from seven to nine forty-five.
M: Oh. Well, that’s all right. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last?
W: Mmmm, let me see. Twelve 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 three hundred dollars including the necessary computer time.
M: Aha. Okay. Ah, 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 so much.
W: You are very welcome. Bye!
M: Bye!

[答案解析]
19.C
细节题。对话开始,男士向女士咨询计算机编程(computer programming)课程报名信息。女士问他想白天上课还是晚上上课,男士回答Well,“would have to be an evening course,since I work during the day,(既然我白天工作,所以只能上晚课。)A是说他更喜欢小班的夜课,对话中未提及;B是说他已经注册选了白天的课,与男士的话事实相反;D是说他认为上夜课更便宜。因此C是正确答案。
20.B
细节题。对话中女士问男士是否上过数据处理课程(data processing course),并且说到data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming.(数据处理是学计算机编程之前必须要上的课程。)A是说学习计算机语言;C是说买些电脑软件;D是说买些教材,对话中均未提及。所以B是正确答案。
21.C
细节题。对话中提到课程时间为on Monday evenings at seven,once a week,almost 3 hours from 7:00 to 9:45,12 weeks,the first week in September,and finish just before Christmas,December 21st.(每周一晚七点钟,每次将近3个小时,晚7:00到9:45,课程时长为12个星期,起止时间为9月的第一个星期到圣诞节前的12月21日。)A是说周四晚7:00到9:45,与男士说的not on Thursdays正相反;B是说从9月1号到新年前夕,而对话中说的是到圣诞前,与对话内容不符。D是说每周3小时,共45小时。而对话中说的是每次将近3个小时,持续12星期,与对话内容不符。因此C是正确答案。
22.A
推理判断题。此题是问对话末尾男士想知道什么。对话最后男士问道Is there anything that I should bring with me?(去登记注册课程时需要携带什么东西?)对方告知携带支票簿(check book)即可。B是说去哪上课,此问题在问需带什么东西之前已提出;C是说怎样到达Frost Hall,男士知道这个地方;D是说是否应该用支票,是在女士回答中提及,并不是男士所问。因此A是正确答案。
