问题 Which TWO things does Jerome advise Daisy to do in the first month of tutorials?
A    See her tutor every week.
B    Review all the module booklists.
C    Buy all the key books.
D    Write full references for everything she reads.
E    Write a draft of the first chapter.
  
J: Well, the first month’s crucial. You’ve got to meet your tutor and decide on your focus but don’t become too dependent on him... you know, don’t see him every week... only when you want to check something.
D: Right.
J: Once you’ve got the focus you’ve got to get reading — it’s helpful to look through the bibliographies for all the course modules relating to your topic. And get hold of any books you think you’ll need.
D: I haven’t got much money...
J: I mean get the books from the library, far better.
D: And I suppose I should prepare a detailed outline of the chapters?
J: Yeah absolutely. But don’t feel you have to follow it slavishly. It’s meant to be flexible.
D: Now, I’m someone who likes to get writing quickly... I can’t just sit and read for a month.
J: Not like me then... but if that’s what suits you, you know, your natural approach, then you really ought to start immediately and write the first chapter...
D: Right.
J: Now Daisy, about the library... it’s worthwhile getting on good terms with the staff...  they aren’t always helpful with undergraduates.
D: I suppose they focus on post-grads more.
J: Maybe. But show them you’re serious about wanting to do good work.
D: And what if I can’t find what I need?
J: Well, there’s inter-library loans...
D: Borrowing books from other libraries... but I’ve heard it isn’t all that reliable.
J: You’re right... but you probably won’t need it anyway... be positive, the library is likely to have most things you need... and during the dissertation writing period, you can take out fifteen instead of the usual ten books.
D: Should I look at previous years’ dissertations?
J: Yes.
D: But I won’t know which are the good ones.
J: The library only keeps the best and the staff can advise you.
D: Are they willing to do that?
J: Oh yeah.
D: And I’m worried about getting journal articles... from the electronic library.
J: Well, have you tried to find any yet?
D: No.
J: Well you should. It’s really straightforward.
D: That’s obviously something I’ll have to look into.
J: Dr Peterson will help.
D: Yeah, I know I can go to him if I have any worries.
J: Except he will be away in the second month — it’s the holidays. You should ask him what to do while he’s away.
D: Gosh, yeah... but I suppose I can get a lot of support from course mates... I know a couple of people who are thinking of doing the same topic as me.
J: Take care, collaboration can become dependency. I think you’d better see how that works out what the people are like.
D:  You’re probably right... About other reading, I suppose Dr Peterson’ll recommend plenty of good articles to get me started.
J: One thing I’d find out is what his attitude is to internet sources.
D: Surely not in this day and age? I’d better get that sorted out right at the beginning.
J: I would if I were you.
D: And I’ve also got some questions about the research sections — how much time should I spend explaining the process?
J: Well, I think that’s up to you... you can see how it develops as you’re writing.
D: OK.
J:  It’s the same  with things like time  management. That’s something a tutor can’t really help you with.
D: I agree!
J: So is there anything else you need me to go over...

选项

答案E

解析 本题询问Jerome对Daisy的建议。录音中Jerome指出,查阅与主题相关的所有课程模块的参考书目是很有帮助的。录音中的bibliographies for all the course modules是选项module booklists的同义表述,故选B项。录音中Jerome建议Daisy立刻开始(start immediately)着手写第一章,故选E项。Jerome提出,不需要每周都去见导师,除非当你想要核查一些事情的时候(check something),故A项错误。另外,Jerome认为,不需要购买图书,从图书馆借阅(get the books from the library)会更好,故C项错误。Daisy询问是否需要准备一份详细的章节大纲(a detailed outline of the chapters),Jerome在回复中指出,不需要太过盲从(slavishly),可自己灵活安排(be flexible)。根据下文回复可知,Daisy想要尽快写作(get writing quickly),故D项错误。
