一、題目介紹
本題的校園情景對話涉及大學(xué)生活中會遇到的各種問題。這些問題很可能會引起我們的共鳴，因此內(nèi)容不難理解，且沒有閱讀文章，只需要聽一段對話即可。
對話中的一個學(xué)生會遇到諸如課程安排沖突、得不到想要的資料、學(xué)生選舉、手頭拮據(jù)等問題。另一個學(xué)生會給出兩個解決方案。而第五題的問題則要求考生復(fù)述學(xué)生的問題和解決方案，然后選出自己認為的佳方案，并給出兩個理由。
二、例題講解
我們以2012年12月8日托?？谡Z第五題為例來看一下如何解答這類題目。
W: Hey Colin, you look so down. What's up?
M: Band problems again. We’ve got to practice, but it’s hard to find a place where you can have three guys playing electric guitars.
W: The Music Department has a great studio that’d be ideal. Why not rent that?
M: You just said why: rent. Sure the studio’s great. But we need to practice every day, maybe two hours. There’s no way we can afford the rent.
W: Why not talk to Professor Garcia? You know, the department chairman. He’s a rock lover. I bet he’d let you use the music building for free.
M: We’ve been looking into that. It is free, which is great. But we can’t use the building during the day. We can only use it in the evening before 10:00 p.m. That’s not a lot of time.
W: But it is free, and it’s a lot better than nothing. Besides, they say you artistes ought to suffer for your art, don’t they?
M: Courtney, you're really not helping.
1. 解題步驟
第一步我們要做的就是聽對話、記重點。注意，除了聽problem和solutions之外，一定要留意學(xué)生對解決方案的態(tài)度，這些會幫助我們找到理由來支持自己的觀點。筆記如下：
Problem:
M: band×place練music
Solutions:
(1) rent studio
(2) use music dept
Best choice:
2nd√
(1) rent studio ↑$, ×afford
(2) music dept free
hr→練limit b4 10 p.m., but place→練→hr/d
good enough
better>nothing
答題時需談及自己認為佳的解決方案并給出理由。20秒鐘的準(zhǔn)備時間至關(guān)重要，這時候 要思考用什么理由來支持自己的觀點。如果情急之下想不出自己的理由，可引用學(xué)生的對話來支持自己的觀點。如：
Personally speaking, I think the second solution is better because renting a studio costs money. The man and his band cannot afford it.
And also I think playing in the Music Department is free. And he can practice at least for few hours. It's better than nothing.

3. 參考答案
The young man’s problem is that his band is having a hard time finding a place to practice their music.
First, his friend suggests that they rent a studio to play in. She next suggests that the university’s Music Department building might be available.
I think the second solution is better, because renting a studio costs money. The man and his band cannot afford it.
By contrast, playing in the Music Department is free. True, the hours of use are limited to before ten o’clock in the evening, but they have a place to practice at least for a few hours a day, which is good enough. It’s far better than nothing anyway.
