M: Hey, Sue. I was wondering if you could fill me in on Monday’s class. I had to go the dentist’s for an emergency and I missed Prof. Smith’s lecture(19). What was it on?
W: It was pretty interesting. She talked about volcanoes, active volcanoes, under the---uh-- West Antarctic ice sheet(20).
M: There are active volcanoes under the ice?
W: Apparently so. She said they help protect the ice sheet and prevent melting. Flooding would be pretty bad if that ice melted, not only there, but all over the world.
M: You lost me there. Volcanoes are hot. How can something hot prevent ice from melting (21).
W: Wait a minute, let me check my notes. Yeah, here it is. Volcanic heat melts just enough ice to create a slippery surface on the bottom of the glacier. This water allows ice to flow out into the ocean. So the solid interior ice is protected from the ocean’s warmth. Does that make sense?
M: Sort of. You mean that because the ice is flowing out to the ocean, the warmer ocean water can’t flow in.
W: Exactly. And the ice that melts is constantly being replaced by snow. Prof. Smith said that if the ice sheet ever broke up and melted, the sea level would go up seven meters, Then we would have those floods.
M: Is that really possible? Or is it one of those exaggerations you hear all the time?
W: As far as I can understand, it is possible, because of global warming. I mean if the ocean got a lot warmer that interior ice would be very likely to melt.
M: Thanks for telling me about the lecture. Sounds like I’ve missed a pretty important class.
选项
A、He disliked the topic of the lecture.
B、He didn’t want to go to the lecture.
C、He thought the professor was not famous.
D、He wasn’t present at the lecture.
答案
D
解析
从题目所给选项核心名词lecture以及核心动词wasn’t present, didn’t want to go to,disliked可以推测,该题可能考查与讲座有关的内容,听音过程中应该侧重这方面。可以从文章开头“I was wondering if you could fill me in on Monday’s class. I had to go the dentist’s for an emergency and I missed Prof. Smith’s lecture(你能否帮我回顾一下礼拜一的课程,我因为突发牙痛去了牙医诊所,所以错过了史密斯教授的讲座)”得知,男士是去牙医诊所看牙而错过了讲座,故可推测出正确答案。fill sb. in意思为“给某人提供最新消息”。
