M: Hello, Michelle. Can I help you?
W: Hello, Professor. I was wondering if you had a few minutes to, uh, talk to me about my essays.
M: Sure. Sit down.
W: Thanks. Professor, you, uh, you gave me a C plus on my last essay. That’s the third C you’ve given me now. I guess I just don’t understand what it is you’re looking for.
M: Well, you’re not alone, Michelle. I’m afraid most of the class is doing poorly this term. Now, I’ve tried to explain what I want you all to do several times now, but nobody seems to get it. I guess I’m a failure as a teacher.
W: I don’t think so. But, I’m sorry, would you mind trying one more time with me? I understand that you want to see a clear, efficient development of the thesis and all that, and I thought I’d done that this time, I really did.
M: Have you got your paper with you?
W: Yes, here it is, right here.
M: Let me have a look.
W: Sure! Here.
M: Mmm... yes... I remember now. Actually, Michelle, you have a very good thesis here. I like it. I just wish you could’ve presented it more effectively.
W: In what, in what way?
M: Well, just look at your opening sentence. This is the first sentence that the reader meets. "Most authorities consider the zygote the initiation of a new existence." Now tell me, Michelle, if the average person picked this up and started reading it, would they understand that?
W: Well, um... I hope so. I mean, I presume so. That’s what I presumed when I wrote it, of course.
M: Of course. It seems short and direct. But you must remember that when you wrote this, you had been reading and researching your topic beforehand. How many people know what a zygote is? How self-evident is the meaning of "a new existence"? That’s a very abstract phrase.
W: Yeah, I guess so.
M: Michelle, the writer’s first duty is to his readership and his second duty is to his thesis. Think of all the articles you’ve read that’ve been built on week arguments, misconceptions or untruths, and yet have become widely popular, have enjoyed wide acceptance because of the writer’s talent at communicating.
W: Yeah, there’re a lot of those. You want us to write like that?
M: Well, I certainly don’t want you to be promulgating untruths --that’s what I hope I’m helping my students avoid --but it would be worthwhile to notice how some of those writers do it. The key to effective writing is assessing your reader accurately.
W: I see, Professor. Thanks a lot!

选项
A、Because the writers communicate very well.
B、Because they are built on solid arguments.
C、Because the writers are widely known.
D、Because the writers are very talented.
答案
A
解析
①从选项的Because、writers和argument等关键词可以推测,题目问的是某个原因,且与作者或文章有关,注意对话中的相关内容。②对话中,老师说到有些文章有很多问题,但依然广受欢迎,原因是作者在与读者的沟通方面做得非常好,也就是说文章写得浅显易懂,非常适合读者阅读,与A意思一致。③B项中的solid arguments与前面的week arguments刚好相反,所以不对。C“因为作者很有名”在原文中没有提到。D“因为作者非常有才华”利用talented做干扰。
