Why does the student go to see the professor?
What does the professor imply about the university’s Green Committee?
Listen to a conversation between a student and his studio art professor. (S = Student, P = Professor)
S: Hi, Professor Jones. Do you have a minute?
P: Sure, Martin. What’s up? It’s about the class assignment this week?
S: No, no. I’m almost done, really enjoying it.
P: I’m glad to hear that.
S: So, well I’ve been talking to some of the other students in our studio art class and we were wondering who’d talk to about maybe buying art’s supplies that are more environmentally safe for the art classes.
P: Well, that’ll be me. As the chair of the art department, I do in saying purchasing decisions but of course everything is voted on by the department faculty. You know we already buy some eco-friendly products, for example, the easels in your painting studio. They’re made of wood from South American eucalyptus trees. The trees grow really fast and new trees grow from the stumps of trees that have already been harvested. How’s that for a renewable resource?
S: I didn’t know that. That’s great. We were thinking about like drawing paper and pencils. There are some really cool companies that use recycled paper to make drawing paper and some pencil companies that make greener products of wood from sustainable forests.
P: Wow, I can see you’ve done some research, and I want you to write a proposal. You can give us a list with the prices of the eco-friendly supplies you’d like the department to consider and the faculty can compare that to the cost of supplies we’re buying now on our next meeting.
S: Oh, yeah, I should have realized that all comes down to cost.
P: Well, yes, in part. I mean we do have a budget for supplies and most of that money has been spent for this year. But you know the university has been allocating extra funds for a lot of eco-friendly initiatives. It’s part of their new Green Campus initiative.
S: Yeah. Solar panels were recently installed on the roof in my dorm. And actually I read an article about the initiative in the campus newspaper. There’s a committee. I think there’s even some student representation that makes the decisions about how the university will implement some environmentally friendly practices.
P: Right. The Green Committee and the solar panels you’ve mentioned are just one of the many things they’ve done. So I don’t know. Given the university’s commitment to becoming more environmentally friendly, and the faculty of university does receive partial funding from the state government to support this initiative. You never know.
S: Okay. Urn, when do you want the figures?
P: Well, the next meeting of the art department faculties is the beginning of next month. It gives you about three weeks. Well, get to work on it right away. Thanks for your help.
选项
A、It will soon be funded entirely by the state government.
B、It might be able to provide funding for the art department.
C、It focuses on solar energy initiatives, not on purchases of green products.
D、Its work was not described accurately in the campus newspaper.
答案
B
解析
题目问教授提到大学绿色委员会的用意。在对话最后,教授提到了Green Committee“绿色委员会”,并说委员会会参与到学校将如何实施一些环保措施的决定中。接着,她又说“考虑到大学正致力于变得更加环保,而且大学的教员确实从州政府获得了部分资金来支持这一举措”。由此推测,这个委员会或许可以把从州政府那里获得的部分资金给艺术系来购买这些环保用品,故选B项。A项“它很快将全部由州政府资助”中的entirely并没有依据,对话中说的是partial“部分的” (the faculty…receive partial funding from the state government)。C项“它侧重于太阳能计划,而不是购买环保产品”没有依据,D项“其职能并没有在校报中被准确描述”则是利用campus newspaper设置的干扰项。录音有明确提到这个委员会的职能。
