Listen to a conversation between a student and a librarian.
MALE STUDENT
Hi. I’m new here… I, uh, couldn’t come to the student orientation—and I’m wondering if you can give me a few quick pointers about the library? I’d really appreciate it.（题目1.Why does the student come to the library? A. To learn about the library’s resources 答案出处 目的题，像这一题就是非常简单的，直接在前几句中点出答案）
FEMALE LIBRARIAN
Sure. I’d be glad to. What’s your major area of study?
MALE STUDENT
Latin American literature.
FEMALE LIBRARIAN
OK. Well, over here’s the section where we have language, literature, and the arts, and if you go downstairs you’ll find the history section. Generally the students who concentrate in Latin American literature find themselves researching in the history section a lot.（题目2.Why does the librarian point out the history section to the student? B. She assumes that he will need to do research there. 答案出处 这一题需要将此段完整听清楚，并且需要有一部分的推理，一般来说，专攻拉丁美洲文学的学生发现自己经常在历史部分进行研究，由此Librarian向Student推荐了History section）
MALE STUDENT
[agreeing] Uh-huh. You’re right. I’m a transfer student. I’ve already done a year at another university, so I know how the research can go—I’ve spent a lot of time in the history section. So how long can I borrow books for?
FEMALE LIBRARIAN
Our loan period is a month. Oh, I should also mention that we have an interlibrary loan service…[upspeak] if you need to get hold of a book that’s not in our library. There’s a truck that runs between our library and a few other public and university libraries in this area. It comes around three times a week.
MALE STUDENT
He that’s great! At my last school, it could take a really long time to get the materials I needed, so when I had a project, I had to make a plan way in advance. （题目3.What does the student imply about the interlibrary loan service at his last school? C. It was inconvenient. 答案出处）This sounds much faster.[pause] Another thing I was wondering is… is there a place where I can bring my computer and hook it up?
FEMALE LIBRARIAN
Sure. There’s a whole area here on the main floor where you can bring a laptop and plug it in for power. But on top of that we also have a connection for the Internet at every seat.
MALE STUDENT
Nice! So I can do all the research I need to do right here in the library. I’ll have all the resources, all the books and information I need right here in one place!
FEMALE LIBRARIAN
[proudly]Yup, that’s the idea! … （题目5.Which sentence best expresses what the librarian means when she says this: D. That is what we intended. 答案出处 ）I’m sure you’ll need photocopiers, too. They’re down the hallway to your left. We have a system where you have to use a copycard, so you’ll need to buy a card from the front desk. You insert it into the machine and you’re ready to make copies.
MALE STUDENT
How much do you guys charge?
FEMALE LIBRARIAN
Seven cents a copy.
MALE STUDENT
[Approvingly] That’s not too bad. Thanks. Uh, where’s the collection of rare books?
FEMALE LIBRARIAN
Rare books are up on the second floor. They’re in a separate room where the temperature is controlled to preserve the old paper in them. You need to get special permission to access them, and then you’ll have to wear gloves to handle them, ‘cause the oils in our hands, you know, can destroy the paper, and gloves prevent that, so we have a basket of gloves in the room.（题目4.What does the student need to do before he can use any rare books? B. Obtain permission C. Put on gloves 答案出处）
MALE STUDENT
OK, thanks… I suppose that’s all I need to know. [Gratefully] You’ve been very helpful, thanks.
FEMALE LIBRARIAN
Any time. Bye.
MALE STUDENT
Bye.
