问题 Conversation [br] Why does the man say this:
W: Excuse me. Could you please tell me if there are any study rooms here in the library?
M: Yes, urn, most of the rooms have already been reserved, but I think we have a few left.
W: Do you mean I have to reserve it ahead of time?
M: Oh yes, and the sooner the better. The rooms on the third floor are already completely booked for the quarter.
W: Oh. Um ... how does it work then—I mean how can I—do I just sign up here for the times I want?
M: Yeah. Usually people want an hour or two at a time. You’re limited to ten hours a week—that’s if it’s available. Like I said, we’re fairly booked up. You really need to come in early in the quarter, or before the quarter starts would be even better.
W: Wow! I didn’t realize space was so tight.
M: Yeah, it’s true. Enrollment is up 12 percent over last year, and it really makes a difference. So, um, what would you like to do?
W: Well, actually it’s for me and two of my classmates. We’re working on a presentation together, and we need a quiet space to meet and talk.
M: What time of day do you want—morning, afternoon, or evening? There are more rooms open in the evening.
W: One of my classmates is a commuter—she carpools from Spring Valley and has to leave campus at six o’clock. So evenings wouldn’t work. Actually, um, I think afternoons are best for all of us. Is there anything available ... like, after three o’clock?
M: Let me check. That’s always a busy time.
W: Oh ...
M: Wait a minute. I just thought of something. Does it matter if it’s in the Communications Building? They have some rooms over there.
W: Well, sort of. We, urn, we were hoping to be here in the library.
M: The Communications Building is the one just behind us. You can even get there from the ground floor of this building.
W: Oh, really? I didn’t know that. Well then, maybe we could try that. Did you say they had rooms available?
M: Yes. They have rooms ... it looks like from one to five every day of the week.
W: Great! Can we reserve one of those, urn, from three to five o’clock ... on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday? Starting tomorrow?
M: Sure, I can do that. I just need to see your student I.D.
W: No problem.
选项 A、To tell the woman about the building that he works in
B、To persuade the woman to accept a room in another building
C、To describe an interesting aspect of the university layout
D、To direct the woman to someone else who can help her
答案 B
解析 Why does the man say this:
"The Communications Building is the one just behind us.
You can even get there from the ground floor of this building."
   The man’s purpose is to persuade the woman to accept a room in another building, the Communications Building, because most of the rooms in the library have already been reserved. The man asks Does it matter if it’s in the Communications Building? They have some rooms over there. Then he emphasizes that the Communications Building is very close to the library. (2.3)
