问题     You will now listen to a conversation. You will then be asked a question about it. After you hear the question, you will have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.
Question: Briefly summarize the woman’s problem. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.
M: Hey Maggie, why do you look upset?
W: I have been under a lot of pressure these days.
M: What happened?
W: Well, you know I have been on the basketball team since last year.
M: I know, you do a very good job on the basketball team.
W: Yes, I like being on the team and feel good about myself. The thing is I have registered for six courses this semester and I cannot go to all of the training sessions and study sessions.
M: Yeah, and you will have a lot of assignments.
W: Exactly, I am thinking about quitting the basketball team this semester, but that means I will miss the championship match this semester, and I am really looking forward to it.
M: That’s a pity since you play so well on the team. Why not drop some courses to alleviate the workload?
W: I thought about that as well, but that means I will miss Professor White’s course, since he will be away next year and I really want to attend his lectures.

选项

答案 The woman has a problem because she has registered for six courses this semester and she also has to practice with the basketball team. Six courses and practicing with the basketball team will be too much for her to handle.
There are actually two solutions: one is to quit the basketball team, and the other is to drop several courses.
If I were her, I would drop some courses because first, she has been playing well on the basketball team and it would be a pity if she missed the championship this semester. Her teammates will be counting on her and she shouldn’t let them down. I think the championship is more important and exciting than Professor White’s lectures.

解析     Task 5的重点是学生遇到的困难跟解决的途径。这道题是如何解决Maggie的课程安排和篮球训练发生冲突的问题。重点在于如何fix the problem,原因不是重点。开头段可简单介绍原因,“The woman has a problem because she has registered for six courses this semester and she also has to practice with the basketball team.”但是,“Six courses and practicing with the basketball team will be too much for her to handle.”
