Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
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.
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.
预览四道题各选项，由 22 题可推测对话中女士（Karen）很可能对某一课程缺乏兴趣或感
觉吃力，23 题则涉及到 Karen 对专业的喜好问题，25 题则表明对话很可能与 Karen 更换
专业有关。综合来看，对话很可能是围绕Karen 不满目前专业想调换这一话题展开。
22. Why can't Karen concentrate on the book?
【解析】由 worried, find it too hard, lack interest可推测本题很可能是与 Karen 对 it 的感受有关。由本题[A]中的 seminar（讨论会）及其他题选项中 course, major 等词可推测本题中 it应该与某一课程有关。[B]是说男士一直打扰Karen，与其他三项（Karen 自己的感受）内容明显不同，故可初步排除。而根据 23 题中prefer 和 enjoy 可推测本题很可能是与 Karen的兴趣有关，即本题答案很可能为[D]。
23. Why is Karen starting to like the course less and less?
【解析】根据上题分析，选项中 boring, poorly designed 与 prefer, enjoy 表明本题很可能是关于 Karen 对该课程缺乏兴趣的原因有关。两道题结合起来分析，问 题应该是 Karen 主观方面的原因引起的。因此本题的答案应主要在[C]和[D]之间选择，重点辨别 Karen 是更喜欢“philosophy（哲学）” 还是更喜欢“literature（文学）” 。 rather than 意为“而不是”。
24. Who thinks Philosophy graduates have limited job opportunities?
【解析】选项均为人物角色表明本题是针对“who”进行提问。联系对话主题，本题很可
能与影响 Keren 对课程或专业的喜好或选择的人有关。听音时注意辨认选项中的关键词。
Have one’s best interest at heart 意为“ 处处为某人的利益着想”。
25. What is Karen thinking of doing?
【解析】选项均为现在分词表明本题为考查“行为活动”类型。[B]与对话主题及其他选项均无关系，故可初步排除。[D]是说要退出大学，而根据对主题的分析，对话主要涉及的是专业问题，没有提到要退学的问题，故本题答案更可能在[A]和[C]之间选择。而 [C]选项是说转到外语系，实际上也是改变专业，包含在[A]之内，故本题答案最有可能为[A]。注意这里的 quit 是指退出现在的专业，而 不是指退出大学，选择答案时需根据上下文，切忌根据常识进行判断。
