问题 What problem at the office are Cathy and Stan discussing?
W: Stan, do you have a minute?
M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What’s up?
W: Well, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.
M: I’m not in there very often. It’s so noisy that I can’t work.
W: That’s exactly what I’m getting at. We’re supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office. But have you noticed? Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out.
M: Has anybody spoken to him about it?
W: No, not yet, but someone’s going to have to.
M: We can’t really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we?
W: No, of course not. But I’m not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it’s the same for the others in the office.
M: Hmmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When Teaching Assistants have to talk with a student, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there’s a room down the hall, a rather small room that we could ask to use. It’s only for storing supplies.
W: You mean that little storage room? Oh, that would be too small.
M: Are you sure? With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.
W: Come to think of it, you may be on to something. I’d like to have a look at that room. Can we go there now?
M: Sure. Let’s go.

选项 A、There aren’t enough cabinets.
B、There is too much noise.
C、Office supplies are taking up space.
D、Some teaching assistants don’t have desks.

答案B

解析 对话中女生提到“I’ve been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.”(就是讲办公室里面的事情)当男生说办公室里太吵我无法工作因而很少去时,女生同意:“That’s exactly what I’m getting at”意为“我就是想说这个意思”。因而可知对话所讨论的问题就是办公室里太多噪音的问题。
