30、ked about what was said. Both the interview and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONLY. After each question there will be a ten-second pause. During the pause, you should read the four choices of A , B , C and D , and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO.You have THIRTY seconds
31、to preview the questions._解析:A.To make a special plea for future cooperation.B.To seek advice on her sons major in college.C.To show her regret at the schools education.D.To guarantee Williams security in school.解析:解析:对话一开始MrsHarris就开门见山说明来意,想让校长帮忙确保儿子William选择相对保险的专业以利将来谋生。可见MrsHarris目的是为儿子的专业选择征求意
32、见,故B为正确答案。A.An acting career.B.A sporting career.C.Becoming a teacher.D.Becoming an architect.解析:解析:对话中MrsHarris担心William若选择艺术专业将找不到安稳的工作,校长安慰说William将来可以教书,MrsHarris说儿子绝不会当老师,并为此话可能冒犯校长而道歉,校长却坦言,自己年轻时如果父母同意他自由选择,他也不会当老师,而会选择当演员。因此A为正确答案。A.They recruit students from technical colleges.B.Most student
33、s graduated there would be cartoonists.C.The entrance competition is awfully fierce.D.The students must take a foundation course there.解析:解析:问题与major art schools有关。对话提到,如果William想要去专业艺术院校,最好不要抱太高期望,因为竞争激烈,必须成绩优异才有录取机会,还得先读一年基础课,有可能还在外校读。由此可知,C“入学竞争相当激烈”是符合专业艺术院校事实的表述。A.They dont prefer to choose hob
34、bies as their majors.B.They accept the fact that parents make decisions for them.C.They know what their passions are before entering colleges.D.They are unconcerned about security when choosing majors.解析:解析:问题与现在的年轻人有关。对话中校长劝MrsHarris不要代替William做决定,现在的年轻人不像他们当年那样担心安稳(dont worry about security)。D项are
35、 unconcerned about是原文的同义表达,故正确。A“不愿意选择兴趣当专业”和B“接受父母替他们做决定的事实”都与事实相反。C“在进大学前知道自己酷爱什么”指的是William,而非现在的年轻人普遍都这样。A.Choosing art as a major takes a risk.B.Mrs. Harris thinks art schools are hard to enter for.C.The entry qualifications of colleges are tough.D.Going to art schools requires 3 As and 2 Os.解析
36、:解析:对话开头MrsHarris就担心儿子选择艺术专业会找不到安稳的工作,校长介绍专业艺术院校的情况后,她更加觉得选择艺术专业很冒险(so chancy)。A项的take a risk是其同义替换,为答案。C错在把major art schools放宽到colleges了。A.Because William is interested in it.B.Because William is good at this field.C.Because it promises a well-paid job.D.Because her firm is in want of scientists.解析
37、:解析:MrsHarris提到,如果William能拿到理科学位,自己的公司可以为他提供一份不错的工作。a goodjob,a great salaries等溢美之词表明她对于儿子找到好工作的厚望,因此C正确。注意说话人婉转表明自己立场的用语,例如I couldif,I must admit。A.William has no enthusiasm of painting now.B.Mrs. Harris is happy about Williams decision.C.Williams mother runs her own business.D.A science degree gua
38、rantees one outstanding.解析:解析:MrsHarris说如果William有理科学位,会在自己的公司给他找个好工作。由此可知C项“William的妈妈经营自己的公司”正确。对话中校长提到,William一直对画画感兴趣(always been interested in),A项说他现在没有,与原文不符;虽然MsHarris觉得理科学位有保障,但不能等同于学理科让人出色,D项的outstanding没有依据。A.William can make a comfortable living as an artist.B.Mrs. Harris should persuade
39、William to come down to earth.C.Its unwise to force William to choose an art major.D.William wont make a change of his decision easily.解析:解析:校长说,以他对William的了解,他不是一个会改变想法的男生(dont think hes)。D“William不会轻易改变自己的决定”与原文一致。校长明确说以艺术家作为职业不容易,A项的comfortable与此相反;B“MrsHarris应劝William回到现实”与校长说的let him decide“让他做
40、决定”不符;William自己想选艺术专业,C项中的force“强迫”不对。A.Its highly appreciated by Mr. Simms.B.Hes good at painting pictures on the wall.C.It made him easily choose art for a living.D.It helps him to apply for a science major.解析:解析:问题询问与William的艺术才能相关的选项。校长建议MrsHarris找William的美术老师MrSimms聊聊,他对William的作品评价很高。A项is high
41、ly appreciated是把原文thinks very highly of转换成了被动表达,意思一致,为答案。A.Persuade her son into making a more realistic decision.B.Prepare her son for an art course at a technical college.C.Wait until the headmaster discusses with Mr. Simms.D.Talk with Mr. Simms about Williams chance of acceptance.解析:解析:对话接近尾声时,校长先是建议MrsHarris向MrSimms征求意见,但在MrHarris坚持认为艺术作为谋生手段不切实际时,校长决定亲自与MrSimms探讨William被艺术院校录取的可能性,因此C为正确答案。
