答案解析

Conversation Two
W: Hi, Professor Higgins.
M: Hi, Julia.
W: [22]Would you be able to help me organize my essay?
M: Certainly. What topic have you chosen?
W: Women in Politics.
M: [23]That topic is very broad. I think you should narrow it down.
W: Do you think I could just do women in English speaking countries-say the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain?
M: Well, that would be better.
W: I am interested in the pattern of political involvement of women in those western democracies. With New Zealand and Australia leading the way, women in those countries had the vote soon after the end of World War I.
M: [24]It would be good to begin with a discussion of when women got the right to vote and how they use it.
W: The record of women in politics in all those countries has been similar. None of them has women represented more than 10 percent of members of the national legislature.
M: Remember, it is not what you think. [23]You must back up your opinions with facts. Support for all your ideas is essential. I think you should check the statistics on what percentage of women hold political office in the national governments.
W: Okay, I also plan to discuss the role of organized women's rights.
M: That is a good idea, but remember this term-paper is only 5,000 words so [23]you must keep your topic focused.
W: Could I bring you a rough draft next week?
M: [25]I would prefer if you brought an outline, breaking down your main topics and subtopics. It may be a good idea to bring some of your reference materials along.
W: Sure, I will do that. Thank you very much.

Questions 22 to 23 are based on the conversation you just heard.
22. What does the woman want the man to do?
正确答案：D
解析：选项都是动词短语，题目应该询问做某事。D概括了对话开头女士跟男士说到的organize my essay，因此为正确答案。注意A是男士给女士的建议，并非女士的请求。
23. What core suggestions has the man given the woman?
正确答案：A
解析：教授的第1条建议就是narrow down；中间用Remember，must提醒：用facts支持自己的观点；最后又重申focus。
24. How will the woman probably begin her work?
正确答案：B
解析：此题内容也是教授的建议，关键词是discussion，the right to vote。
25. How would the professor help the woman after this discussion?
正确答案：D
解析：当女士说下次带草稿（rough draft）来时，教授说prefer outline，故D正确而B错。A是修改后的论文，更不可能是下次就带来的。
