问题 What is the conversation mainly about?
What does the employee imply about the student’s chances of being accepted into the summer program?
Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee at the study-abroad office. (E = Employee, S = Student)
E: Hi, what can I do for you?
S: Yeah, I have a question about my passport. I’d like to know if I should have it renewed before I go abroad…cause… um… it’s going to expire before I come home.
E: Oh, yes you should. Are you by chance on one of our semester abroad programs? If so, you should talk to the person in charge of that program.
S: Not exactly, but I’d like to go to France, next semester. I heard you have a program there, right?
E: Well, yes we do. But I’m afraid you’ve already missed the deadline for the spring semester. It was September 15. But uh… you might not have been able to go anyway. The program is popular, and students signed up quickly. You can still apply for the fall semester.
S: Next fall? Well… that’s… I mean, I’ll be out of school at the end of next year and I’ll be working on an independent study all year. And I… I’m supposed to work closely with my instructor, Professor Jacobs… here at the main campus, and I… I can’t leave the country.
E: Maybe you could go in the summer. It’s a shorter time to study abroad, but you’d have the experience of living and studying in France.
S: Um… I don’t know. Are the courses the same as in the spring?
E: Pretty much the same. What’s your major?
S: French language and literature… What’s the deadline for the summer?
E: You should have a few weeks till the deadline. But remember, it’s a popular program. I’m a little surprised you missed the deadline for the spring semester. Didn’t your advisor suggest that you apply for the program to improve your French language skills? I mean, it’s very common for language majors to do that.
S: Well, I just changed my major this semester. And before that, I wasn’t planning to go abroad. Now I wanna live and study in France. And since I have to take a lot of French courses between now and graduation, well, it would also help to fulfill the French department’s requirements.
E: Have you discussed this with your advisor? He might have good advice.
S: No, not really, he’s really busy and… um… I’m a new student in the department. He doesn’t know me very well. So, I’ve been feeling kind of nervous about talking to him about it. But I suppose he has to write me a recommendation letter, right?
E: Yes, he does. And you’re gonna have to talk to him sooner or later if you wanna go. You know, even though the program is popular, a good letter of recommendation can make all the difference. So talk to your advisor if you’re still interested. And ah… oh, be sure to take the brochure for the program in France and let us know if you have any more questions.
选项 A、He will probably not be accepted because he is a transfer student.
B、He will probably not be accepted because his passport has expired.
C、He will probably be accepted if he receives a strong letter of recommendation from his advisor.
D、He will probably not be accepted because he didn’t study French literature in the spring.
答案C
解析 题目询问，关于该学生被夏季学期项目录取的机会，职员暗示了什么。对话即将结尾时，职员说道，尽管这个项目很受欢迎，但一封好的推荐信能起很大的作用。也就是说，职员暗示学生，如果他能得到一封好的推荐信，他可能更有机会被录取，故选C项。对话中没有提到该学生是转系生就没有机会参加留学项目，排除A项。该学生要参加留学项目只需换一本新护照，这不会造成无法参加项目的后果，排除B项。D项“他可能不会被录取，因为他在春季没有学法国文学”在对话中没有相关依据。
