What are the speakers mainly discussing?
Listen to a conversation between a student (S) and a university travel administrator (A).
S: Thanks for the list of travel agencies. This will really help if I get a chance to go to another conference, but now my question is: you said that the university doesn’t pay for everything, doesn’t cover all the costs of school-related travel.
A: Nope, we do cover the cost of the conference itself, the registration fees, but university policy is that we only cover up to a certain amount of travel expenses. We calculate the average cost of traveling to a city, the average cost of food, lodging, etc., and are willing to pay that much back to you.
S: OK, so how do I find out what the average costs are?
A: Well, on the travel office’s Web page you’ll find a chart with a bunch of cities. Just find the columns for the city that you’re traveling to, like Philadelphia, that’s where you went, right?
S: Yeah, the Eastern Literary Society Conference. It was... I went to hear some presentations, you know.
A: Ok, so the chart will tell you how much the university will cover for trips to Philadelphia. There will be a column for food, one for transportation, one for hotel, but I’m guessing that...
S: Yes, since Philadelphia’s only an hour from here and the conference was just one day, I guess that’s why I wasn’t overly concerned about the expenses, but I did take the train in and of course I ate lunch there. So could I have a copy of the expense form? I’ll need to fill it out.
A: Sure, but it’s quicker if you do it online. That way your information goes directly to the travel office. We’ll be in touch later if we need your receipts.
S: Ok, I already tried that, but the system wouldn’t let me download the form.
A: Really? That’s strange.
S: Yeah, it kept asking for my... for a preapproval number.
A: Ok, the number your department gave you when you completed the preapproval request.
S: Preapproval request? I didn’t know. No one told me about a preapproval request.
A: That’s why you’re having trouble. See, the policy is that your department has to preapprove you for the travel, so that we, the university travel office, so we know you’re doing legitimate school-related travel. We can’t be reimbursing people for their personal vacations now, could we?
S: Well, how was I supposed to know? I mean, my professor only asked me like two weeks ago after someone else canceled.
A: Oh, well that’s it. That student probably filled out a preapproval request. Your department can probably update that form with your information. Then it’ll show up under your name instead, and you can do the online form.
S: Oh, really? Let me talk to them and see what I can do. I’ll come back to you if I have questions after that.
A: Ok, good luck with that.
S: Thanks for your help.
选项
A、How the student can get permission to travel to other cities
B、How the student can get reimbursed for travel expenses
C、A problem with the travel office Web page
D、A conference the student recently attended
答案
B
解析
内容主旨题。线索词为学生所说:but now my question is:you said that the university doesn’t pay for everything,doesn’t cover all the costs of school-related travel.本篇对话主题为学生如何报销差旅费。A选项属原文未提及,学生未向管理员咨询如何获得去其他城市出差的许可。C选项错误,因为存在问题的不是旅务办公室网页,而是学生的preapproval request(预批申请)。D选项错误,因为选项中的conference(会议)属原文细节,并非文章主要内容。

山石对卵石说:我才是真正的石头,你看我体肤糙砺,棱角分明,血性方刚。我们才能构成雄壮的大山,凝成挺拔的峰峦,展现自然的粗犷。卵石对山石说:经年累月,水蚀砂磨,我体肤平滑。肌理莹润,虽已脱胎换骨,不还是石头么,脱离了大山。我却有机会走进人间。装点人们的生活。
