  Conversation1

  1.What are the speakers mainly discussing?

  A.The student’s difficulties locating sources for a research project

  B.The topic of the student’s research project

  C.The student’s request to visit a particular part of the library

  D.Procedures for requesting different editions of a book

  答案：C

  解析：學生的第一句話“I need to get into special collections,in particular the british literature”，通過I need to表明意圖是來看圖書館中關于英國文學的書籍。而之后的全文都在討論學生沒有教授的授權，是否能借閱這些書。所以答案選C。

  2.Why is the student unable to use later editions or reproductions of a book he mentions?

  A.The later editions contain errors.

  B.Professor Gray specified the use of a particular edition.

  C.The later editions must be requested from another library.

  D.Reproductions typically omit the specific material he needs.

  答案：D

  解析：通過工作人員的題問和學生的回答，我們能定位到這道題。考點即是師生之間的問答，而回答我們要重點記。學生說他的project需要用到文獻當中的注釋，而這些注釋并未在復制品中體現，都被clean up了(clean up相當于D選項中的omit忽視)。所以答案選D。

  3.Why is the student reluctant to contact Professor Gray?

  A.He already has disturbed her several times during her time away from campus.

  B.He does not feel comfortable about asking her for another favor.

  C.He does not know her e-mail address.

  D.He wants to surprise her with a completed project.

  答案：B

  解析：同上題一樣，又是通過師生問答引出重要考點。學生說：我希望自已能搞定這件事而不是讓教授幫我，因為之前的extra time已經是教授幫的一個大忙了。而現在我覺得skating on thin ice with her。這里的skate on thin ice with her的表達非常重要，我們一定要理解，正如我們中文所說的如履薄冰。試想一下，當教授已經幫了你一個忙而你卻沒做好的情況下，你再去請求她的第二次幫忙，這種時候是不是如履薄冰，膽戰心驚，最好還是別去找她了，對不對?所以這個學生也是同樣的心理，故答案選B(再求教授幫第二次忙，學生心里會不舒服)。

  4.What does the woman imply about the rules regarding Special Collections?

  A.The rules are unfair to the students.

  B.The rules are in place to protect the books.

  C.The rules are determined by the professors.

  D.The rules have changed since the previous semester.

  答案：B

  解析：Employee用這樣的一句話“If we don't maintain our policies,they'll disintegrate”再次拒絕了學生，這里的policies(policy政策)等同于B選項中的rules規定。如果我們不維持我們的規定，這些文獻都會損壞。所以這些規定就是用來保護這些文獻書籍，故答案選B。

  5.Replay: What does the woman mean when she says this:

  A.She has been in a similar situation herself.

  B.She will help the student solve his problem.

  C.Shen has often heard this kind of story from students.

  D.She thinks the student should try to understand her situation.

  答案：C

    解析：Everybody has special circumstances.每個人都會有些特殊情況。言下之意即：你不用多講了，你們這樣的故事我聽多了。所以答案選C。相信有些同學會有疑問為什么不選D?“每個人都有特殊情況，我們不可能每個人都網開一面，請理解我們”。有這類想法的同學，建議一定要收收腦洞，千萬不要過于腦補，如果D是對的，重聽原話應改變為“I understand, but sorry, we also have our special circumstance that the policy cannot be changed.” 所以同學們，在錯誤選項無法排除的情況下，可以嘗試下反向思維，這樣更有利于把握出題人的思路，增強選項辨析能力哦，加油。

  Conversation2

  1.Why does the student go to see the professor?

  A.To ask if she can interview him for her paper

  B.To ask permission to extend the length of her paper

  C.To ask permission to change the topic of her paper

  D.To askfor more time to finish her paper

  答案：D

  解析：So the thing is,you know,okay,I'm writing my paper on the history of jazz in New York City...The thing is,I have this idea that might make it better and I was wondering if there's any way I could get an extension.這兩句話的信號詞“the thing is ”表明了學生找教授的目的是為了延長論文的遞交時間。所以答案選D。

  2.What can be inferred about the student's work on her paper so far?

  A.She received a lot of help on the paper from professional musicians.

  B.She has found enough information to complete the paper.

  C.She did not start working on the paper early enough.

  D.She is having difficulty finding sources for the paper.

  答案：B

  解析：學生這兩句話表明論文到現在為止進展順利，并且I have got a lot to say，我已經有了很多要寫的內容。所以答案選B。A選項所說的professional musicians 是她在下周會采訪到的人，所以A選項的she received應該改成she will receive。C選項和原文意思相反或沒提及，“Well,I could write the paper as it is and turn it in on time and it would be fine”就可以將C排除。D選項的錯誤比較明顯，除了時間一切都進展的很順利。

  3.Why does the student want to interview her friend's grandfather?

  A.He has written articles about jazz music in New York City.

  B.He has recordings of the musicians discussed in the woman's paper.

  C.He owned a historic jazz club in New York City.

  D.He was a jazz musician during the 1950s.

  答案：D

  解析：注意that's why因果信號詞前后的句子，學生采訪朋友爺爺的原因已經清楚表達。同時A選項審題時一定要注意，主語是he即朋友爺爺，他可沒寫論文哦。

  4.What does the professor ask the student to do on the original due date of the paper?

  A.Turn in her first draft

  B.Hand in an outline

  C.Submit interview questions

  D.Confirm that she has scheduled an interview

  答案：BC

  解析：But just to be fair,why don't you turn in an outline of your paper on the due date?教授讓學生在到期日前先把大綱給交了，學生說沒問題。所以答案選B。而C選項中的interview questions，教授的原話是Could you have the questions ready then too?你那個時候(下周采訪時)能把采訪的問題也準備好嗎?這里就對應選項C了。

  5.Replay: Why does the student say this:

  A.To address the professor's concern

  B.To explain a change in her approach to her paper

  C.To restate the professor's point

  D.To request approval of her topic

  答案：A

  解析：Professor: All right.Well,that's a pretty broad subject. 好吧，你的這個主題有點大哦。Student: Well,actually I'm focusing on a specific decade,the 50s. 其實我寫的只是50年代的爵士音樂啦。老師先提出擔心，學生就此展開回答，解決老師的擔心。 所以答案選A。

  解析：C:What we call the active layer of permafrost,which melts in the summer and refreezes again in the winter.D:There's been considerable research done to try to figure out what causes them to be shaped and oriented this way. What makes them grow this way?從這些內容來看，整個Lecture都在圍繞著融湖是如何形成的。并且文章中提出了兩個不同的理論來論證。第一個理論將“分”作為融湖朝向的起因，而第二理論則認為是坍塌造成的。

  C.He thinks it would be better if it were simplified.
