问题  
M: Good morning, Mrs. Green. You want to see me?
W: Yes, Jim. Let’s review what you’ve done so far. You were hired as a mail clerk about five years ago. You’ve learned a lot since then, haven’t you?
M: Sure. I learned more about the company because I went around to different offices. Then I was promoted to mail distribution clerk. That’s two grades higher than the mail clerk. So I skipped a grade. I went from Grade 1 to Grade 3.
W: Did you like that job?
M: Yeah, my pay went up, and every year I moved up a step. Every time I moved up a step, I got a pay raise. It was a Grade 3, Step F. But I didn’t go outside. I was usually in the mail room. I was in charge of the other messenger clerks.
W: You were a boss.
M: Right. After three years, the manager said he wanted to help me move up. They gave me a little test — arithmetic, alphabetising, and some typing.
W: You did well on the test.
M: Yes. I did well because I studied at an adult school, and I practiced at home before the test. So I got this job as senior clerk. I’m a Grade 5 now.
W: Well, Jim, here is another chance to move up the ladder. The Mail Department is getting some new computers. We will give everybody two days of training. The people who learn quickly can go to school for more training.
M: You mean going to school on company time? Go to school instead of coming to work?
W: Yes, because it will help you in your work later. You can be promoted to production programming after you’ve learned to use a computer. The job starts at Grade 7.
M: Well, I’d like to think about it for a few days. Maybe I should stay where I am now.

9. What is mainly discussed in the conversation?
10. How many years did it take the man to move up to Grade 5?
11. Who can get the chance to go to school for more training?
12. What can be inferred from the conversation?

选项 A、The man’s pay raise.
B、A career ladder for the man.
C、The man’s education.
D、A new chance for everyone to be promoted.

答案B

解析 选项均为概括性强的名词短语表明,本题可能考查对话主旨。对话开头简短的问候之后,女士直接说明谈话目的review what you’ve done so far(回顾一下你的工作历程),后面提到现在又有一个晋升机会(another chance to move up the ladder),由此可知,对话的主要内容就是男士的职业升迁,故答案为B)。对话主旨一般要根据对话开头的主要信息进行总结。
