What class does the student imply he feels most confident about doing well in?
Listen to a conversation between a student (S) and an academic advisor (A).
A: Nice to see you, Keith. How are your classes going this semester?
S: Yeah, so far so good! I like all my professors and I am really interested in the stuff I am learning.
A: I am glad to hear that.
S: Yeah. Well, I am not so sure about next semester, though.
A: Oh?
S: Yeah, I went back and I was looking through the course descriptions for the four courses that I signed up for...
A: Yes?
S: ...and I noticed that none of them have a final exam. They all have a final paper. And then I did the math and figured out I’d have to hand in more than a hundred pages during the last week of class. I almost fainted.
A: Oh my... I don’t know how I missed that.
S: Well, those courses all sound so interesting and that is all I was thinking about.
A: Yes, but I should have... anyway. So, right now you are registered for...
S: Introduction to world poetry...
A: Ok.
S: The European novel...
A: Ok.
S: Science in the ancient world...
A: Ok.
S: And ... the special seminar on Dr. Martin Luther King Junior.
A: Ok.
S: I need the world poetry and European novel courses for my major, and they are hard to get into, so I think I’d better keep those.
A: Yes, that makes sense. And, what about the other two?
S: I hate to do this, but I think I am going to have to drop both of them.
A: Oh!
S: Yeah. I am so nervous about the literature courses. They are going to be tough, so I should replace the other two.
A: Okay. Well, have you fulfilled your language requirement?
S: No. Foreign language doesn’t come all that naturally to me, so...
A: What did you take in high school?
S: German.
A: Okay, well, how about if we find a German Beginner’s class that still has some seats available?
S: You know, I took that my first two years of high school, so it’s been a few years.
A: Oh, I am sure it’ll come back to you.
S: How about Latin? Would that count toward my language requirement?
A: Sure.
S: Because one of my friends, he signed up for it, and so having someone to study with would be helpful, I think.
A: Great idea! We can even see if there are any seats available in the section your friend is taking. That shouldn’t be a problem!
S: And then I was thinking I could take pre-calculus. I have always done well in math.
A: Great! Now, to take pre-calculus you need to have taken three years of high school math.
S: Yep. And I got straight A’s!
A: And you need to have passed the University’s Mathematic Diagnostic Test.
S: Oh...
A: Well, it’s actually being offered this coming Saturday, if you’re comfortable taking it on such short notice. And you’d get your score back early next week, so you’d still have time to register.
S: Let’s see. Today is Tuesday, so I would have three days to review and brush up a bit. Piece of cake!
A: Ok. Sounds like a plan.

选项 A、Precalculus
B、Latin
C、Introduction to World Poetry
D、The European Novel

答案A

解析 推断题。听完顾问陈述《预备微积分》课程的要求后,学生表示:Piece of cake!即学生认为测试是小菜一碟,可见对《预备微积分》课程很有自信,因此A选项正确。拉丁文是学生打算学习的语言课,但也未提到对拉丁文的擅长。因此B选项不正确。《世界诗歌简介》和《欧洲小说》是学生的必修课,学生未表述对这两门课程很自信,因此C选项和D选项均不是正确答案。
