Why is the woman interested in an internship at the greenhouse?
Listen to a conversation between a student (S) and a consultant (C) in a computer lab.
S: Could you check the settings on this computer?
C: Sure. What seems to be the problem?
S: I’ve clicked print like four times, but nothing is happening!
C: Oh, this will be an easy fix. Today must be the first time you have been in the computer lab this month, right?
S: Yeah, that’s right.
C: All right. Well, on the first of this month we started something new. Ok, so you already know how to send something to the printer.
S: Right. That is what I tried.
C: So after that, we added a new step, printing stations.
S: What are those?
C: There is a station, well, a computer actually next to every printer now. You’ll need to go to the printing station and you’ll see a list of all the documents that people have sent to the printer. You’ll need to find your document on the list, and click on it.
S: Ok.
C: In the past, we had a lot of documents getting sent to the printer by mistake, so we ended up wasting a lot of paper. Hopefully, with this new system this won’t happen as much. Somebody might click print by mistake, but they are not gonna get up and walk to the printing station by mistake, too.
S: I see, thanks!
C: No problem. You’ll also see your printing allocation at the station, so you’ll know how many pages you have left for this term.
S: Oh, good. Last term my roommate ran out and had to pay for printing.
C: Yeah. It’s an issue. I couldn’t help but notice you are printing an application for the Green House?
S: Yeah. An internship, through the biology department.
C: Oh. Are you majoring in biology?
S: Engineering, actually. The internship is not really related to my studies, but it sounded interesting, and it’s good to branch out—learn about new things in different areas.
C: Oh, I ask only because I have a friend, someone I graduated with, who works in the Green House. He says it’s a great place to work.
S: Cool! Is your friend involved in their summer youth program at all? That is what the internship is for— helping run that program. I think a lot of people will apply for this internship. It’d be great to know somebody on the inside!
C: I don’t know exactly what he does there. I didn’t even know there was a youth program.
S: Oh. I heard about it on the radio, the participants are gonna be planting grasses and flowers and stuff for the new green roofs on campus.
C: Green roofs?
S: Yeah. They are basically gardens on the tops of buildings.
C: Why? So students here can study plant growth or something?
S: That is not what they said on the radio. They said that green roofs can lower the temperature inside the building, so you don’t have to spend as much on air-conditioning.
C: That’s a good idea!
S: Yeah! Also in the city, storm water runoffs, you know, rainwater that runs into sewers and local lakes and rivers. This runoff apparently picks up a lot of pollution from the pavement, Green roofs absorb some of that rain, which reduces runoff, which in turn helps the water quality.

选项 A、She is considering changing her major course of study to biology.
B、She needs to fulfill a requirement for graduation.
C、She hopes it will lead to a permanent job there.
D、She wants to broaden her experiences.

答案D

解析 细节题。学生提到自己打印是为了参与一个生物系组织的实习,紧接着说明参与实习的的目 的:The internship is not really related to my studies,but it sounded interesting,and it’s good to branch out—learn about new things in different areas.即实习与学生的专业工程学无关,但学生认为可以接触不同领域的新事物是很有趣的,因此D选项正确。学生没有表达想要转生物专业的打算,因此A选项不正确。参加实习的目的是为了接触新事物、拓展新体验,并不是为了满足毕业的要求,也不是为了获得一份固定工作,因此B和C选项不正确。
