Why does the student go to see his academic adviser?
Listen to a conversation between a student (S) and an academic advisor (A).
A: Nice to see you, Keith. How are your classes going this semester?
S: Yeah, so far so good! I like all my professors and I am really interested in the stuff I am learning.
A: I am glad to hear that.
S: Yeah. Well, I am not so sure about next semester, though.
A: Oh?
S: Yeah, I went back and I was looking through the course descriptions for the four courses that I signed up for...
A: Yes?
S: ...and I noticed that none of them have a final exam. They all have a final paper. And then I did the math and figured out I’d have to hand in more than a hundred pages during the last week of class. I almost fainted.
A: Oh my... I don’t know how I missed that.
S: Well, those courses all sound so interesting and that is all I was thinking about.
A: Yes, but I should have... anyway. So, right now you are registered for...
S: Introduction to world poetry...
A: Ok.
S: The European novel...
A: Ok.
S: Science in the ancient world...
A: Ok.
S: And ... the special seminar on Dr. Martin Luther King Junior.
A: Ok.
S: I need the world poetry and European novel courses for my major, and they are hard to get into, so I think I’d better keep those.
A: Yes, that makes sense. And, what about the other two?
S: I hate to do this, but I think I am going to have to drop both of them.
A: Oh!
S: Yeah. I am so nervous about the literature courses. They are going to be tough, so I should replace the other two.
A: Okay. Well, have you fulfilled your language requirement?
S: No. Foreign language doesn’t come all that naturally to me, so...
A: What did you take in high school?
S: German.
A: Okay, well, how about if we find a German Beginner’s class that still has some seats available?
S: You know, I took that my first two years of high school, so it’s been a few years.
A: Oh, I am sure it’ll come back to you.
S: How about Latin? Would that count toward my language requirement?
A: Sure.
S: Because one of my friends, he signed up for it, and so having someone to study with would be helpful, I think.
A: Great idea! We can even see if there are any seats available in the section your friend is taking. That shouldn’t be a problem!
S: And then I was thinking I could take pre-calculus. I have always done well in math.
A: Great! Now, to take pre-calculus you need to have taken three years of high school math.
S: Yep. And I got straight A’s!
A: And you need to have passed the University’s Mathematic Diagnostic Test.
S: Oh...
A: Well, it’s actually being offered this coming Saturday, if you’re comfortable taking it on such short notice. And you’d get your score back early next week, so you’d still have time to register.
S: Let’s see. Today is Tuesday, so I would have three days to review and brush up a bit. Piece of cake!
A: Ok. Sounds like a plan.
选项
A、He wants to find out which classes he is required to take next semester.
B、He wants to change his course selections for next semester.
C、He wants to drop two of the courses he is taking this semester.
D、He wants to get help with two of the classes he is taking this semester.
答案
B
解析
目的主旨题。学生表述说很担忧下学期的课程,原因是注册了的四门课均是需要完成final paper的,论文的任务量太大,并具体说明打算:l need the World Poetry and European Novel courses for my major, and they are hard to get into,so I think I’d better keep those.I hate to do this,but I think I am going to have to drop both of them.即打算保留其中《欧洲小说》和《世界诗歌》这两门课,退掉另外两门。学生的目的是打算修改下学期的课程选择,因此B选项是正确答案。学生已明确其中的两门是必修课,因此A选项不正确。在对话的开端部分,学生表示:so far so good!I like all my professors and I am really interested in the stuff I am learning.即本学期一切进展顺利、没有任何问题,因此C和D选项不正确。
