　　SECTION 3

　　DAN:Hi Jeannie. How's it going?

　　JEANNIE:Oh, hello Dan. Pretty well, thanks, Have you managed to get the moneyfor the course yet?

　　DAN:Yes, that's all sorted out now, thanks. It took long enough, though. It waspractically a year ago that I applied to my local council for a grant, and ittook them six months to turn me down.

　　JEANNIE:That's really slow.

　　DAN:And I thought I was elile for government funding, but it seems I wasmistaken. So then I asked the boss of the company I used to work for ifthey would sponsor me, and much to my surprise, he said they'd make acontribution.

　　JEANNIE:But what about college grants and scholarships? There must be some youcould apply for.

　　DAN:Yes, there are, but they're all s0 small that I decided to leave them until Iwas desperate.

　　JE ANNIE:Uhuh.

　　DAN:And in fact I didn't need to apply, My parents had been saying that as Ialready had a job, I ought to support myself through college. But in theend they took pity on me. so now l've just about got enough.

　　JEANNIE:That's good.

　　DAN:So now I can put a bit of effort into meeting people - I haven't had time sofar. Any suggestions?

　　JEANNIE:What about joining some college ciubs?

　　DAN:Oh right. You joined several didn't you?

　　JEANNIE:Yes, I'm in the drama club. Its our first performance next week, so we'rerehearsing fartially, and I've got behind with my work, but its worth it.I'm hoping to be in the spring producion, too.

　　DAN:I've never liked acting. Are you doing anything else?

　　JEANNE:I enjoyed singing when I was at school, so Ijoined a group when I cameto college. I don't think the conductor stretches us enough, though so I'lgive up after the next concert And I also joined the debating society. It'sfun, but with all the rehearsing I'm doing, something has to 99, and I'mafraid that's the one.

　　DAN:Do you do any sports?

　　JEANNIE:Yes, I'm in one of the hockey teams. I'm not very good, but I'd really missit ifl stopped. I decided to try tennis when I came to college, and I'm  finding it pretty tough going. I'm simply not ft enough.

　　DAN:Nor me. I think 'l give that a miss!

　　JEANNIE:I'm hoping i'll help me to build up my stamina, but it'l probably be a longhaul.

　　DAN:Good luck.

　　JEANNIE:Thanks.

　   DAN:How are you finding the course?

　　JEANNIE:I wish we had more seminars.

　　DAN:What? I'd have thought we had more than enough already. All thosepeople saying clever things that I could never think of- it's quite interesting, but ! wonder I'm clever enough to be doing this course.

　　JEANNIE:1 findit helpful to listen to the other people. I ike the way we're xploringthe subjedt, and working towards getting insight into it.

　　DAN:How do you get on with your tutor? Idon't think I'm on the same wavelength as mine, so I feel I'm not getting anything out of the tutorials.It would be more productive to read a book instead.

　　JEANNIE:Oh, mine's very demanding. She gives me lots of feedback and advice, soI've got much better at writing essays. And she's helping me plan my revision for the end-of-year exams.

　　DAN:Do tell me, I always struggle with revision.JEANNIE:Well, the first thing is to find out exacty what's required in the exams.

　　DAN:Mm. Would it help to get hold of some past papers?

　　JEANNIE:Yes. They' help to make it dlear.

　　DAN:Right, 'l do that. Then what?

       JEANNIE:Then you can sort out your revision priorities, based on what's most likelyto come up. I put these on a card, and read them through regularly.

　　DAN:Uhuh.JEANNIE:But that isn' enough in iself. You also need a timetable, to see how youcan ft everything in, in the time available. Then keep it in front of youwhile you're studying.

　　DAN:I've done that before, but it hasn't helped me!

JEANNIE:Maybe you need to do something diferent every day. so if you breakdown your revision into small tasks. and alocate them to specific days,there's more incentive to tackle them. With big topics you're more likely toput off startina.

　　DAN:Good idea.

     JEANNIE:And as I revise each topic I write a single paragraph about it - then later Ican read it through quickly, and it helps fix things in my mind.

　　DAN:That's billiant.

　　JEANNIE:I also write answers to questions for the exam practice. lt's hard to makemyself do it, though!

　　DAN:Well, l'l try. Thanks a lot, Jeannie. That's a great help.

　　JEANNIE:No problem.

　　DAN:See you around.

　　JEANNIE:Bye.

　　第3节

　　丹：珍妮，你好吗?

　　珍妮：哦，你好，丹。，谢谢。你筹到课程费用了吗?

　　丹：是的，现在都解决了，谢谢不过时间够长了。实际上，一年前，我向当地的委员会申请拨款，但他们花了六个月的时间才拒绝了我。

　　珍妮：那真的很慢

　　丹：我以为我是政府资助的精英，但看来我是错了。于是，我问我以前工作过的那家公司的老板，他们是否愿意赞助我。令我惊讶的是，他说他们愿意捐款。

　　珍妮：但是大学助学金和奖学金呢?肯定有你可以申请的。

　　丹：是的，有，但他们都很小，我决定离开他们，直到我绝望。

　　安妮：嗯哼

　　丹：事实上，我不需要申请，我的父母一直说，因为我已经有工作，我应该养活自己完成大学。但最后他们同情我。所以现在我已经受够了。

　　珍妮：那挺好的

　　丹：所以现在我可以花点精力去见人了——我还没有时间。你有什么建议吗?

　　珍妮：加入一些大学社团怎么样?

　　丹：好吧，你加入了几个，对吧

　　珍妮：是的，我在戏剧俱乐部。这是我们下周的次演出， 所以我们排练得很远， 我工作落后了， 但它是值得的。我也希望春天能生产。

　　丹：我从不喜欢演戏你还有别的事吗?

　　珍妮：我上学时喜欢唱歌，所以上大学时我一起唱了一群人。我认为指挥家不够伸展我们， 虽然所以我在下一场音乐会后放弃了， 我也加入了辩论会。很有趣， 但随着我正在做的所有排练， 有些东西必须 99， 我害怕， 这就是一个。

　　丹：你运动吗?

　　珍妮：是的，我是一支曲棍球队。我不是， 但我真的会错过， 如果停止。我决定尝试网球，当我来到大学，我

　　发现这是相当艰难的去。我根本不够英尺。

　　丹：也不是我我想 '我会错过的!

　　珍妮：我希望我能帮助我建立耐力， 但它可能是一个漫长的时间。

　　丹：祝你好运。

　　珍妮：谢谢。

　　丹：你是怎么找到这门课的?

　　珍妮：我希望我们有的研讨会。

　　丹：什么?我以为我们已经受够了所有那些人说聪明的事情， 我永远也想不出 - 这是相当

　　有趣，但!我不知道我足够聪明， 可以上这门课。

　　珍妮： 发现倾听其他人的话很有帮助。我喜欢我们xlorings的子jedt，并致力于深入了解它的方式。

　　丹：你的导师怎么样?我不认为我在同一样波长作为我的， 所以我觉得我没有得到任何教程。改为读一本书会更有成效。

　　珍妮：哦，我的要求很高她给了我反馈和建议，所以我在写论文方面做得。她帮我计划我的年终考试的修订。

　　丹：告诉我， 我总是在复习上挣扎。

　　珍妮：嗯，件事是确切地找出考试中需要什么。

　　丹：嗯， 拿一些过去的文件有帮助吗?

　　珍妮：是的。他们帮助使它dear。

　　丹：对，'我这么做。那又如何?

　　珍妮：然后，您可以根据最有可能出现的情况来整理您的修订优先级。我把这些放在卡片上，并定期阅读。

　　丹：嗯， 嗯。

　　珍妮：但这就这就足够了。你还需要一个时间表，看看如何可以英尺的所有，在可用的时间。然后在学习的时候把它放在你面前。

　　丹：我以前做过， 但对我没有帮助!

　　珍妮：也许你需要每天做点事。所以，如果你把你的修订分解成小任务。并把它们分配到特定的日子， 有的动机去对付它们。有了大话题，你更可能把开始。

　　丹好主意

　　珍妮：当我修改每一个话题的时候，我会写一段关于它的文字——然后我可以很快地通读它，它帮助我在脑海中记住事情。

　　丹:那是台球

　　珍妮：我也为考试练习题写答案，但我很难让自己去做!

　　丹:我会的，谢谢你，吉妮，你帮了大忙

　　珍妮：没问题

　　丹:后会有期

　　珍妮：拜

　　Questions 21-22

　　答案 B, E (IN EITHER ORDER)

　　听 前 预 测 :定 位 词 为 financing, 选 项 关 键 词 分 别 为 government、family、college、local council、former employer。

　　题目解析 :本题考查提供学费、资助 Dan 同学的两种方式,要注意出现的干扰信息,即辨清 肯定和否定的关系。local council for a grant 和 government funding 均属干扰信息,故排除选 项 A 和 D。I asked the boss of the company I used to work for if they would sponsor me, and much to my surprise, he said they’d make a contribution.(我问了原先工作过的公司老板是否愿意资助我,出乎意料的是,他居然同意了。)另外,college grants and scholarships 也属干扰信息,故排除 C 选项。之后提到了 parents,最后说 they took pity on me(他们同情我),言外 之意是父母提供了赞助,take pity on sb. 表示“怜悯某人”。

　　Questions 23-24

　　答案 A, C (IN EITHER ORDER)

　　听前预测 :定位词为 leave college clubs,选项关键词分别为 not sufficiently challenged、 interferes with study、not enough time、too demanding physically、not good at the activity。

　　题目解析 :本题难度较大,考查 Jeannie 决定退出一些俱乐部的两个原因,其中选项 B 干扰 性很强,I’ve got behind with my work, but it’s worth it(我的功课落后了,但是我觉得很值), but 之后的内容提示此点不能作为离开的原因。另外,选项 E 也是干扰选项,谈到 hockey teams 时,根据 I’m not very good, but I’d really miss it if I stopped(我不是很擅长,但是如果 我不参加的话,我会很想念),but 之后的内容提示选项 E 为干扰选项。根据 I don’t think the conductor stretches us enough(我觉得指挥没有能够充分地使用我们)以及 but with all the rehearsing I’m doing, something has to go(当我参加完所有排练时,有的事情就被耽误了)可 断定,这两点才是真正退出社团的原因,所以选项 A 和 C 为正确答案。

　　Question 25

　　答案 B

　　听前预测 :定位词为 seminars,选项关键词分别为 no chance to speak、feel inferior、takes too much time。

　　题目解析 :本题有难度,谈到 seminars 时,Dan 同学说 it’s quite interesting but I wonder if I’m clever enough to be doing this course(研讨课很有趣,但我希望自己能够再聪明一些就 好了)。言外之意,他感到他在研讨课上不如别人,故选项 B 为正确答案。

　　Question 26

　　答案 C

　　听前预测 :定位词为 tutorials,选项关键词分别为 inefficient way、more challenging、help... study skills。

　　题目解析 :选项 A 和 C 意思正好相反,其中必有一个正确答案。Jeannie 同学对 tutorial 的评 价为 I’ve got much better at writing essays(在论文写作方面,我学到了),所以选项 C 为正确答案。

　　Question 27

　　答案 priorities

　　听前预测 :定位词为 past papers、revision,提示词为 your,此处应填名词。题目解析 :本题为信息后置,所听即所得。原文中说 Then you can sort out your revision priorities(然后你可以挑出优先修改的地方),确定答案为 priorities。注意答案为复数形式。

　　Question 28

　　答案 timetable
