W: Hi, Kevin. How is it going?
M: Ah, not so great.
W: What's wrong?
M: I've got a big problem with the Shakespeare course which is required for my major.
W: Is that all filled up?
M: No, there's plenty of room, but I have to take the starter course before I can take Professor Miller's Shakespeare course. It is only offered in the evening.
W: You don't like evening classes?
M: That's not the point. I work in the cafe every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition.
W: You can ask someone that could switch hours with you. Maybe just switch a couple of evenings since the course probably only meets two times a week.
M: I wish I could. My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings. And he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.
W: Wait a minute. I have an idea. Have you checked the course over at the community college? They might offer an introductory course during the day.
M: That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I'll go over and check it out.
W: Their courses are actually cheaper.
M: Thanks for your advice. I'll let you know what happens.
W: Sure. Good luck!
答案解析:
(1) 正确答案为C。根据but I have to take the starter course before I can take Professor Miller's Shakespeare course. 但是在上米勒教授的莎士比亚课程之前,我必须要参加初级课程。可知,阻碍男子修莎士比亚课程的原因是该课程要求先参加初级课程,因此C项正确。
(2) 正确答案为A。根据I work in the cafe every evening.我晚上要在咖啡厅打工。可知,男子的问题是他晚上要打工,不能在晚上上课,因此A项正确。易错选成B项,男子的老板不会同意他请假。对话中男子只是表示老板会hit the ceiling大发雷霆,而且男子并没有请假的意思,只是想调班,所以B项排除。
(3) 正确答案为B。根据女子的建议Have you checked the course over at the community college? They might offer an introductory course during the day.你问过社区大学的课程了吗?他们白天可能会提供初级课程。以及男子后来说That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I'll go over and check it out.是个好主意。我今天下午有空,我会去问问看。可知,男子将去别的学校询问初级课程,因此B项正确。
