B. He does not know the location of the library’s vides collection of plays.

C. He does not know how to find out where the play is currently being

performed.

D. He does not know how to determine which newspaper he should look at.

答案：AD

解析：（原文中）Yeah, I need to find a review. It‟s for my English class. We have to find reviews of

the play we are reading. But they have to be from when the play was first performed, so I need to

know when that was and I suppose I should start with newspaper reviews and…

从第一组对话中得出student来咨询的直接原因有两个一是要找一份review，二是不知道从

那份newspaper开始。BC是无关选项。

2. What does the woman imply about critical reaction to the play Happy

Strangers?

A. Negative critical reaction led to its content being revised after it

premiered.

B. The play has always been quite popular among university students.

C. Reactions to the play are more positive nowadays than they were in the

past.

D. The play is rarely performed nowadays because critics have never liked

it.

答案：C

解析：（原文中）Well, that certainly explains why your professor wants you to read some of

those old reviews. The critiques really tore the play to pieces when it opened. It‟s so controversial.

Nobody had ever seen anything like it on the stage. Oh, sure. Of course the critiques‟ reaction

made some people kind of curious about it. They wanted to see what‟s causing all the fuss.

从Women将现在人们的态度与过去作对比可以得知，现在人们的态度已经比以前积极

了很多。B显然与事实相反，D有些混淆，但可以看出critics的态度也有所改变 因此Never

这个次不对。

D. She had a variety of emotional reactions to the play.

答案：AD

解析：（原文中）But I start with 1964, so I think the play had been running for a little while

when I saw it. Well, I was impressed. The actors were famous, and besides it was my

first time in a real theatre. Oh, well I guess you might think that. But when I saw it back

then it was anything but boring. Some parts were really funny, but I remember crying

too.

it was my first time in a real theatre.与A选项相对应。funny, but I remember crying too.

体现出她的反映是

a variety of emotional reactions与D符合。

4. What is the man’s attitude toward his current assignment?

A. He is not confident that he will find the materials he needs.

B. He feels that performing in a play is less boring than reading one.

C. He thinks his review of the play will be more objective than the

contemporary reviews were.

D. He is optimistic that he will learn to appreciate the play he is

researching.

答案：D

解析：（原文中）That‟s a good idea. I‟ll have a better idea of what I really think of it before I

read those reviews.

从student觉得自己还会有个更好的Idea看出他还是很optimistic的。从这句话就可以驳斥A。

而B 在The story doesn‟t progress in any sort of logical matter, doesn‟t have real ending either,

just stops. Honestly, you know, I thought it was kind of slow and boring. 中有提到boring但是并

非对比。

B. To state the man’s request more precisely.

C. To make sure that she heard the man correctly.

解析：（原文中）You want contemporary reviews. What‟s the name of the play?

Student : It‟s Happy Strangers. It was written in 1962 and we are supposed to write about

its influence on American theatre and show why it‟s been so important.

从学生的回答可以看出woman想要narrow down search的范围，要具体的

名称因此是B。她并没有改正这个男生任何问题，所以D错误。

6. What is the lecture mainly about?

A. Method s of observing unusual animal behavior.

B. A theory about ways birds attract mates.
