问题    You will now listen to a conversation. You will then be asked a question about it. After you hear the question, you will have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.
Question: The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman’s problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then explain what you think the woman should do and why.
M: Hi, Susan, how’s the off-campus apartment working out?
W: The apartment is fine. My roommate isn’t.
M: Oh? Why’s that? I thought you two got along pretty well.
W: So did I. Then she decided to get a heavy-metal singer as her boyfriend.
M: Why’s that so bad?
W: The whole band practices AND has parties at our apartment. I can’t study, I can’t sleep, and my roommate keeps telling me I’m "no fun."
M: So just move back to the dorm.
W: No way, the dorms have no kitchens. Eating in the cafeteria is expensive and unhealthy!
M: Then why not get your own place? Yeah, I know it’s expensive. But hey, I work at the library.
We have positions open. Fifteen to twenty hours a week. It pays all right and the work is easy.
W: That’s not a bad idea. But then I would have less time to party and hang out with my friends.
What I need is time for a break after a day’s study.
M: Good luck with that!
选项
答案The woman in the conversation faces a problem that her roommate in the new apartment off-campus is too noisy. And she has no idea what to do to solve her trouble. Her friend suggests either returning to the dorm or getting a part-time job in order to afford her own apartment and live alone. Personally speaking, I prefer the first solution, because her roommate parties all the time. This living arrangement interferes with both her sleep and study. Living in the school dormitory will make her avoid the noise and distraction. As for the second solution, I don’t think this is good and economical for the woman, because living alone in an apartment is quite expensive. Since she needs to make money from taking a part-time job and suffer from having no time to enjoy her after-school life in order to compensate the cost of living, I believe moving back to her dormitory is a good choice. Personally speaking, the woman should choose the second solution instead of the first one, because there is no kitchen in the dormitory. And she cannot cook for herself but eat in the cafeteria on campus, which is unhealthy and expensive. However, if she takes a part-time job, she will be able to get enough money to rent her own quiet place.
解析     Task 5的重点是学生遇到的困难跟解决的途径。这道题是如何解决女生室友的男朋友在她们宿舍开音乐party很吵的问题。重点在于如何fix the problem，原因不是重点。开头段可简单介绍原因，“The woman in the conversation faces a problem that her roommate in the new apartment off-campus is too noisy．And she has no idea what to do to solve her trouble．”
