M: Hey, Karen, you are not really reading it, are you?
W: Pardon?
M: The book! You haven't turned the page in the last ten minutes.
W: No, Jim, I suppose I haven't. I need to get through although, but I keep drifting away.
M: So it doesn't really hold your interest?
W: No, not really. I wouldn't bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. I'm at the university.
M: It's a labor of labor then rather than a labor of love.
W: I should say, I don't like Dickens at all really, the author, indeed, I am starting to like the whole course less and less. 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com
M: It's not just the book, it's the course as well?
W: Yeah, in a way, although the course itself isn't really that bad, a lot of it is pretty good, in fact, and the lecturers are fine. It's me, I suppose. You see, I wanted to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it.
M: So the course is OK as such. It's just that hadn't been left to you. You would have chosen a different one.
W: Oh, they had my best interest at heart, of course,[24B] my parents. They always do, don't they? They believe that my job prospects would be pretty limited with the degree of philosophy. Plus they give me really a generous allowance, but I am beginning to feel that I'm wasting my time and their money. They would be so disappointed though if I told them I was quitting.

預(yù)覽四道題各選項(xiàng)，由22題可推測對話中女士（Karen）很可能對某一課程缺乏興趣或感覺吃力，23題則涉及到Karen對專業(yè)的喜好問題，25題則表明對話很可能與Karen更換專業(yè)有關(guān)。綜合來看，對話很可能是圍繞Karen不滿目前專業(yè)想調(diào)換這一話題展開。 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com

22. Why can't Karen concentrate on the book?
【解析】由worried, find it too hard, lack interest可推測本題很可能是與Karen對it的感受有關(guān)。由本題[A]中的seminar（討論會）及其他題選項(xiàng)中course, major等詞可推測本題中it應(yīng)該與某一課程有關(guān)。[B]是說男士一直打擾Karen，與其他三項(xiàng)（Karen自己的感受）內(nèi)容明顯不同，故可初步排除。而根據(jù)23題中prefer和enjoy可推測本題很可能是與Karen的興趣有關(guān)，即本題答案很可能為[D]。

23. Why is Karen starting to like the course less and less?
【解析】根據(jù)上題分析，選項(xiàng)中boring, poorly designed與prefer, enjoy表明本題很可能是關(guān)于Karen對該課程缺乏興趣的原因有關(guān)。兩道題結(jié)合起來分析，問題應(yīng)該是Karen主觀方面的原因引起的。因此本題的答案應(yīng)主要在[C]和[D]之間選擇，重點(diǎn)辨別Karen是更喜歡“philosophy（哲學(xué)）”還是更喜歡“l(fā)iterature（文學(xué)）”。rather than意為“而不是”。 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com

24. Who thinks Philosophy graduates have limited job opportunities?
【解析】選項(xiàng)均為人物角色表明本題是針對“who”進(jìn)行提問。聯(lián)系對話主題，本題很可能與影響Keren對課程或?qū)I(yè)的喜好或選擇的人有關(guān)。聽音時(shí)注意辨認(rèn)選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞。Have one’s best interest at heart意為“處處為某人的利益著想”。

25. What is Karen thinking of doing?
【解析】選項(xiàng)均為現(xiàn)在分詞表明本題為考查“行為活動”類型。[B]與對話主題及其他選項(xiàng)均無關(guān)系，故可初步排除。[D]是說要退出大學(xué)，而根據(jù)對主題的分析，對話主要涉及的是專業(yè)問題，沒有提到要退學(xué)的問題，故本題答案更可能在[A]和[C]之間選擇。而[C]選項(xiàng)是說轉(zhuǎn)到外語系，實(shí)際上也是改變專業(yè)，包含在[A]之內(nèi)，故本題答案最有可能為[A]。注意這里的quit是指退出現(xiàn)在的專業(yè)，而不是指退出大學(xué)，選擇答案時(shí)需根據(jù)上下文，切忌根據(jù)常識進(jìn)行判斷。 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com
