What does the professor imply about the university’s green committee?
Listen to a conversation between a student and his studio art professor.
S: Professor Jones, good morning! Could I talk with you for a minute?
P: Sure, Marty. What’s up? Is it 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 to talk to about maybe buying art supplies that are more environmentally safe for the art classes.
P: Well, that’d be me. As the chair of the art department, I do have a say in purchasing decisions, but of course all decisions are 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 a South American eucalyptus tree. The trees grow really fast and new trees grow from the stumps of trees that have already been harvested. This is a great renewable resource.
S: I didn’t know that. That’s fantastic! We are also considering 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 out of wood from sustainable forests.
P: Well, I can see you’ve done some research. Why don’t you write up 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 current cost of supplies at our next meeting.
S: Oh, yeah ... I can appreciate that decisions will also be affected by the cost.
P: Well, yes...that’s partly true. Of course, we have a budget for supplies and most of that money has been spent for this year, but you know, the university has been allocating additional funds for more eco-friendly practices. It’s part of their new ’green campus’ initiative.
S: Yeah, the solar panels were recently installed on the roof of my dorm, and actually I read an article about the initiative in the campus newspaper. There’s a committee... I even heard there’s student representation that help in decision making related to the implementation of the university’s environmentally friendly practices.
P: That’s right! The Green Committee and the solar panels you 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 fact that the university does receive partial funding from the state government to support this initiative... you never know!
S: Ok... urn, when do you want the figures?
P: Well, the next meeting of the art department faculty is at the beginning of next month. That gives you about three weeks.
S: That should be enough time. We’ll get to work on it right away. Thanks for your help!
选项
A、It focuses on solar energy initiatives, not on purchases of green products.
B、Its work was not described accurately in the campus newspaper.
C、It will soon be funded entirely by the state government.
D、It might be able to provide funding for the art department.
答案
D
解析
推论题。学生提到学生的提议影响到学校里环保举措,教授给予肯定,并进而解释说:the university does receive partial funding from the state government to support this initiative,即学校的确收到来自政府的资金来支持同学们环保的尝试,后文教授更是再次提醒会议时间让学生不要错过,可见教授认为政府的资金很有可能会投入到学生的这项提议中,所以D选项正确。但不能推断政府一定会支持该项目,C选项说法过于绝对,不正确。太阳能利用的消息是学生从报纸上得到的,并非教授暗示其描述不准确,所以B选项不正确。green committee会支持学生的环保项目,对话中未提到该委员会不支持购买环保产品,因此A选项与对话内容冲突,不正确。
