新编四级听力练习 第252期

Conversation One
W: Excuse me, Dr. Tyler, your secretary said I should come right in.
M: Please do, Jenny. How can I help you?
W: I need to get your signature on my schedule card here, on the line above advisor's approval.
M: Sure, but let's look it over together first. How many courses do you have here?
W: Six.
M: Six? That's quite a heavy load. Any particular reason?
W: I had to drop my chemistry course last semester when I went into the hospital, so I need to take it again.
M: So you've already learnt a lot of the material.
W: Right. And calculus is a part of the second year requirement.
M: Let's see, Chemistry, Calculus. Oh, I see you'll be in my seminar on the modern American novel.
W: Yes, I'm looking forward to it and the romantic poetry seminar, too.
M: Two seminars? That is rather a lot. Can you handle the work?
W: I think so. The introductory economics is fairly easy and so is the music course.
M: Well, then I'll be happy to sign the card. However, I insist that you come and see me after the first week of classes so we can make sure this isn't too much for you.
W: That's a promise.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. Which grade is the student in?
正确答案：B
解析：对话中，学生说到：微积分是二年级的一门必修课。表明该学生读二年级，故B正确。四个选项分别表示大学本科一、二、三、四年级学生。本题听音的重点，一是看选项中的原词是否在对话中有所提及，二是看对话中是否有与选项含义相同的其他表达方式。
20. Why has Jenny come to see Dr. Tyler?
正确答案：A
解析：见面时的寒暄一过，学生就说出了自己的目的：“我需要您在我这儿的课程卡上签名。”A与此一致，故为答案。选项均以She wanted开头，表明本题问“她”做某事的目的，可能问对话的主旨。
21. What does Dr. Tyler seem to be most concerned about?
正确答案：D
解析：当学生说她这个学期修了6门功课时，老师说：“六门课？学习负担相当重啊。”对话结束时，老师又一次叮嘱：“上完第一个星期的课以后，你一定要再来我这里一趟，我们再看看这么多课程会不会让你吃不消。”可见老师担心学生学习负担过重，故D正确。
22. Which course hasn't Jenny taken?
正确答案：B
解析：对话中提到，学生所选的6门功课分别是chemistry，calculus，modern American novel，romantic poetry，introductory economics和music。未提及的是选项B，故选B。四项均是功课名称，听录音时须对提到的相关内容做好标记。
