What will the woman spend the evening doing?
What does the education department like about the tutors?
Listen to a conversation on a college campus. (M = Man, W = Woman)
M: Amy, a bunch of us are probably going to ditch the dining hall and go for pizza tonight. If you’re free, you can meet us at the east gate at seven.
W: You know, I’d love to, but I have tutoring tonight
M: Tutoring? I can’t imagine you needing help with a class.
W: The tutoring I’m talking about is tutoring for someone else-though, now that you mention it, physics has been giving me more problems than usual this semester.
M: I find that hard to believe. Uh, so are you tutoring one of the lowerclassmen, or something?
W: Actually, no, I go downtown to tutor a few students at the high school.
M: High school kids? Wow. In math or something?
W: Right. You’ve probably read about this in the paper, but the city’s trying to raise the standards for its math classes. The problem is, a lot of the kids are behind when they get to junior high school.
M: So you help them get caught up.
W: Basically. I have three students for forty-five minutes each on Wednesday night. So I’m there from 6: 00 p.m. to 8: 30 p.m. or so.
M: Isn’t that late for kids to be still at school?
W: Well, they’d be doing homework at that hour if they were home, anyway. The thing is, most of the tutors are students here at the university, so our classes aren’t over until late afternoon. And the city education department likes us. We’re good at what we do, but we volunteer, so the program doesn’t cost a lot beyond, you know, the heat and electricity to keep the high school open at night.
M: Can you afford to take that much time away from your own studying?
W: Some weeks it’s kind of hard, but, I mean, when I go to grad school, I’m going to have to start teaching physics to students as a professor’s assistant, anyway. I may as well get used to teaching with easier material and just one student at a time.
M: And it must be nice to help people.
W: Definitely. That goes without saying. Forty-five minutes a week isn’t much time, but all three of my students have improved in the months we’ve worked together. It’s really inspiring.
M: Cool.
W: So, anyway, sorry about dinner. It sounds like fun, and if it were any other night…
M: Hey, I understand. Have fun, and I guess I’ll see you in class tomorrow morning.
选项
A、Most of them have taught students before.
B、The tutors are available in the afternoon.
C、Most of them went to the city high school.
D、The department doesn’t have to pay them.
答案
D
解析
题目问市教育局喜欢这些导师什么。在提到city education department“市教育局”时。女士说市教育局欢迎她们的原因是她们擅长自己正在做的事情,且她们是志愿者(volunteer),所以这个项目不用花很多钱(doesn’t cost a lot),故D项“市教育局不用支付她们费用”正确。A项“他们中的大多数人有过教学经验”和C项“他们中的大多数人之前上的是城市高中”都毫无依据。根据女士说的our classes aren’t over until late afternoon “我们的课要到下午较晚的时候才能结束”可知,B项“导师们下午有空”错误。
