文都：2008年12月英語四級全真預(yù)測試卷(五)

　　W: Well, I�餸 a new part�瞭ime student. So she asked for identification. I don�餿 drive so I didn�餿 have a driver�餾 license.

　　M:Huh. That�餾 no reason to demand a birth certificate. We only need to establish residency: a phone bill with your name and address on it would�饁e been fine.

　　W:Really? Only a proof of my address?

　　M:Yes, I�餸 afraid she gave you the wrong information. Still you�餷l have to wait and take your math�餾 class next semester.

　　Woman: But that�餾 not fair.

　　M:Well, I sympathize with your problem, but frankly, I don�餿 think there is anything anyone can do for you. You�餽e trapped in the system. If you want to, you can talk to the director. She will help you if she can.

　　W:Great.

　　M:Don�餿 get your hopes up?

　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. What problem does the woman have?

　　20.Why did the woman have to go to the office two times?

　　【解析】D第一次來時她沒有帶需要的證明，所以來了兩趟。She did not have acceptable identification with her on her first visit.

　　21.According to the man, what does the woman need to show evidence of?

　　【解析】BWe only need to establish residency: a phone bill with your name and address on it would�饁e been fine.從這段話中可以看出女士只需出示她的住址證明即可。因此，正確答案為：Her residence.

　　22. What does the man imply when he tells the woman “not to get her hopes up”?

　　【解析】A男士的意思是說要女士不要抱太大的希望。主管也不太可能給她破例。因此，正確答案是：The director probably isn�餿 able to make an exception.

　　Conversation Two

　　M:Hey, Mary. Do you want to start writing a lab report after we finish this experiment?

　　W: I can�餿. In fact I need to finish early because I�餸 going over to the Psychology Department to talk to Professor Smith about a job opening.

　　M:You mean a job on campus?

　　W: Yeah. And it sounds pretty interesting. It involves helping with your study on learning style, you know, about how some people learn best by sight, while others learn best by hearing or touch.

　　M:Yeah. I know that�餾 an area of expertise.

　　W: Right. Anyway for her study, she�餾 taking some high school students who aren�餿 doing very well in their classes, and testing them to find out what their learning styles are. Then tutors, people like me, will work with them, presenting material to them in their particular learning style.

　　M:Hey, that is interesting! Now will you mostly do the testing or the tutoring?

　　W:Both, I hope. I want to be involved from start to finish.

　　M:Are you getting paid for this?

　　W:I�餸 sure we�餷l get something though, probably not much. Anyway it doesn�餿 matter to me. I just want to have some hands�瞣n experience.

　　M:Yeah. And it�餷l be nice to help the high school students, too.

　　W: That�餾 what I thought when I saw the ad. You know, you could do it, too. You don�餿 have to be in her classes to work on the study.

　　M:Really? You have any idea what the schedule is like?

　　W: Late afternoons and evenings for tutoring, I think. After all the kids are in regular classes until three thirty.

　　M:Actually, that�餾 perfect for me.

　　W: Then come along. We will save the lab report for later. But we�餯 better make sure we do a good job on our experiment first.

　　M: Yeah. First thing�餾 first.

　　Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have heard.

　　23. What are the speakers mainly discussing?

　　【解析】D此處有個關(guān)鍵詞a job opening意思為工作機會，即a job possibility.女士說她要與心理學(xué)部門的史密斯教授談一份工作的事情。I�餸 going over to the Psychology Department to talk to Professor Smith about a job opening.
