Conversation Two
M: Hi, Queenie, how are you enjoying yourself at university?
W: Hi, Jack, it's a lot of work. But I am having a good time. Are you planning to attend college next year?
M: Yeah. Can you tell me what facilities they have for disabled students? My wheelchair doesn't always allow me to get into buildings.
W: You should inquire at Student Services. [22]They can discuss your medical history with you confidentially and make allowances. My friends Shannon and Rosie use computers to do their exams, so in your case, I'm sure it would not be a problem.
M: What about the wheelchair access?
W: [23]The newer buildings have elevators and wide doors, but the older buildings have not been upgraded to accommodate handicapped people as far as I know. What faculty are you planning to go into?
M: I am thinking of doing engineering.
W: Hmm. Engineering is in the old Adams building. I don't know if there is an elevator.
M: Do the buses that go out to campus have facilities to bring wheelchairs on board?
W: Yes, that I know for sure. [24]All the buses are equipped with electronic lifts, and there are seats that fold back.
M: What about the sidewalks?
W: I think most of the sidewalks have been leveled at the corners, so you could probably use your wheelchair, but I am not sure. In fact, if you would like, [25]why don't you come with me? I'll be taking the bus and [25]I could show you around once we got there.
M: That's really nice of you, Raphel. I'd really like that.
W: Okay, I will come to your house about 8:30 in the morning and we can take the commuter train into town, then catch the bus up to the university.
M: Great, I look forward to it.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What would the Student Services do with the man?
正确答案:A
解析:由于男士是残疾学生,学生服务处会跟他私下商谈如何帮助他,因此A为答案,privately是原文confidentially的同义词。
23. What are the differences between the new teaching buildings and the old ones, according to the woman?
正确答案:C
解析:原文在对新旧建筑进行比较时只提到了elevators and wide doors,因此含elevators的C为答案。男士关心的是自己坐着轮椅能否出入教学楼,女士也应该围绕这方面提供信息。
24. What is the feature of buses that go to the campus?
正确答案:B
解析:B为原文equipped with electronic lifts的同义表达。观察选项,根据各选项的关键词可预测问题是关于车辆的情况,听到buses时应该注意后面的信息。
25. What's the purpose of Queenie's appointment with Jack?
正确答案:D
解析:D为原文show...around的同义表达。
