问题 Why was the man in the Student Union Office?
  
W: Hi Stan, where have you been?
M: Oh, just at the Student Union office trying to see if I can catch you there. I also tried to find out if professor Steinfield has any old exams from years ago.
W: Why don’t you just ask me? I took that class last semester and aced it.
M: Yeah... you ace all your subjects. But the exams change from year to year, don’t they?
W: True, but the style is pretty much the same from year to year.
M: So tell me all about the process of prostaglandin. I can barely even pronounce it, let alone explain it.
W: Hey, I am no expert but what she’ll be mainly looking for is that you know how it affects the digestion, reproduction, and immune systems.
M: What kinds of questions might she ask?
W: Well, for example, you’ll probably have to say how prostaglandin, if over-produced can give you headaches and fevers and stuff.
M: Speaking of headaches. I think I’m getting one now. Can you give me an aspirin?
W: Well, it’s probably because you have too much prostaglandin, Aspirin blocks prostaglandin production.
M: Well, I’m sure it’s this Biology class that’s doing it.
W: Hey, I’ve heard you’re no slouch at poetry. You get me through my course in 19th century poetry and I’ll make you an expert in Biology.
M: It’s a deal. Where shall we begin? Poetry is up my alley.

选项 A、They agree to meet in the alley to study.
B、They agree to tutor each other for upcoming tests.
C、They agree to study poetry together.
D、They agree to study Biology together.

答案B

解析 本题考查行为。文中最后提到“I’ve heard you’re no slouch at poetry. You get me through my course in 19th century poetry and I’ll make you an expert in Biology.”其中slouch意为“不中用的人,懒惰或无能的人”,整句意即“我听说你诗歌方面不弱,你帮我通过19世界诗歌课程考试,我则帮你成为生物学专家”,据此应选B。文章最后一句用到一个习语up someone’s alley意思是“为某人所熟悉或精通的;正合某人所长”。可知男生答应帮助女生复习19世纪文学。选项A曲解了该词组意思。
