问题 Why does the student go to see the work-study coordinator?
Why does the student inform the work-study coordinator about her dorm room?
Listen to a conversation between a student and the university work-study coordinator. (S = Student, C =Coordinator)
S: Hello, are you Mr. Terry? I’m Allison.
C: Yes, I am. What brings you here?
S: I just stopped by the financial aid office to square my tuition away. And… ah… I was told that I should participate in the work-study program offered by the university to meet one of my financial aid requirements. And I believe that you, Mr. Terry, are who I should talk to about… Um… a part-time job for this semester.
C: Oh, alright. Let’s see… you are… Allison… Pearson?
S: Right!
C: Well, I know we made our schedule today but we’re supposed to meet at three. I’m sure that’s what my calendar says. Why did you come so early?
S: I’m so sorry about that, but I’ve got a problem with my housing situation. I couldn’t help it. I mean, they assigned three people to my dorm room which is only for two. And the housing advisor is available only at three o’clock to straighten it out. So, could you possibly accommodate me? I’m in trouble.
C: Alright, however, I won’t have much time because I do have a workshop in fifteen minutes. So we’d better go through this very quickly.
S: Oh, thank you! I’m sure it won’t take too long.
C: Good! Well, in general, the school offers a wide range of job options in many different departments. The majority of these work positions are service jobs on campus, but there are a few places that are off-campus too.
S: Okay.
C: The number of jobs is limited although we guarantee every student a slot. The early birds, who meet with me first, always get the widest selection they can choose from. Currently, there are only twenty-five jobs remaining.
S: Oh! Did people apply last year? I mean, how did these positions fill out so fast?
C: No, but it is just first-come-first-served basis each term. It’s a shame that you didn’t come and see me last week. Anyway, urn…. here’s the list of available positions. Consider which particular job is best suited to your interest and skill set. Anything look appealing to you?
S: Um… Yeah! The campus bookstore job looks interesting. And ah… the lab opening looks appealing too. Actually, I like both.
C: In the campus bookstore, for example, you’d probably stock shelves, and arrange the display areas, the sort of work that is relatively routine and predictable. On the other hand, the computer lab assistant position requires a lot of computer know-how. Not only can it be quite demanding and stressful, they usually work with other students who have a research deadline. In a pressure-filled situation, you know, sometimes people can get tense when their computers begin acting up.
S: Well, I thrive under pressure. I mean, I was a peer counselor during my high school years. And also, um… this is the most important thing, I guess… I know about computer software programs inside and out. So, I’d be comfortable handling tech questions or issues.
C: It sounds like a perfect match. Um… here’s the phone number. The next thing you have to do is set up an interview with the computer lab supervisor. Best of luck to you, Allison.

选项 A、To give a reason why she came earlier than the scheduled time
B、To explain why she prefers to work on campus
C、To persuade him that she is eager to find a job
D、To inform him that she can only meet for fifteen minutes

答案A

解析 题目询问该学生跟勤工俭学协调员说明她宿舍情况的原因。录音中提到,协调员本来和该学生约定的时间是下午三点,但是该学生提早来了。协调员问她原因,而她的回答是宿舍出了点问题。由此,她跟协调员提及宿舍情况是想解释她来得比原定计划早的原因,即A项的表述。B项“为了解释她为什么喜欢在校园工作”和C项“为了让他相信自己渴望找到一份工作”的内容都没有在对话中被提到,D项“为了告诉他,她只能和他见面15分钟”属于张冠李戴,录音说的是协调员只有15分钟能与该学生交谈。
