Why does the student go to see the professor?
Listen again to part of the conversation. Then answer the question. What can be inferred about the student when he says this?
Listen to a conversation between a student and his ancient history professor. (S = Student, P = Professor)
S: I know you put a lot of effort into making all the arrangements for the play in New York, getting us the special group discount, plus getting the department to help with the tickets.
P: Well, it’s not like everyday we have the opportunity to attend a production of Aeschylus, The Persians, performed by the National Theater of Greece no less. You know it is the earliest surviving Greek tragedy, the very first one.
S: Oh, I didn’t realize that The Persians was the oldest of all the Greek plays. That’s kind of neat. Aeschylus lived in like the 15th century B.C.E., right?
P: Yes, he lived during a series of wars that the Persian chronicles—the Persian Wars, and that’s what makes this play unusual. It talks about historical events that were occurring more or less around the time it was written. We’ll talk about it in next week’s class.
S: Oh that’s interesting. Is that the only Greek play that talks about like current events at that time?
P: That’s right. Well, the only play that we know of anyway. If other plays write the similar topics, those plays have been lost. But we are getting sidetracked. You wanted to tell me something?
S: Yes. I know you are not going to be too happy about this, but I just don’t think that I would enjoy this play.
P: I am sorry to hear that. Um, what’s the problem?
S: Well, seeing a play in a language I don’t understand, I just don’t think I’d get very much out of it. So I…
P: Well, you’ll surely understand some things. We’ll be studying the play beforehand so you’ll be familiar with it. Anyway, attendance is required. It is in the syllabus. And there’s a short paper on it due too. That’s also mentioned in the syllabus.
S: I sort of misplace my syllabus.
P: Well, you’ll need to get a copy from a classmate. Anyway, the play will have supertitles. That’s common practice nowadays.
S: Supertitles?
P: Like subtitles in movies, but they usually projected them across the top of the stage.
S: Oh, yeah, I know what they are. They had them when our Intro to Music class went to the opera in New York.
P: Well, there you go. See, people go to the opera all the time. They don’t necessarily know the language in which the opera’s been performed. What language was your opera in?
S: Russian. Another language I don’t understand.
P: And… did you enjoy it?
S: Well, it was a little frustrating at first not understanding the words, but once I got past that, yeah, I actually did get a lot out of it.
选项
A、He has taken a course in Russian history.
B、He learned some Russian words when he was a child.
C、He might enjoy seeing The Persians even though it will be in ancient Greek.
D、He does not understand why history students are required to see The Persians.
答案
C
解析
在对话最后,教授问学生去听的歌剧的语言,学生说是他不懂的俄语。教授接着问学生看歌剧的感受,学生说一开始因听不懂而感到沮丧,但当忽略这一点后,他发现自己学到了很多。从学生最后说的话我们可以预测,该学生可能会喜欢《波斯人》,即便他听不懂古希腊语,故选C项。该学生说他并不懂俄语,故A项“他学过俄罗斯历史课”和B项“他小时候学过一些俄语单词”均错误。D项“他不明白为什么历史专业的学生要去看《波斯人》”在对话中找不到依据。
