D. He likes the other people who work there.
解析:题目询问男士想要获得实习职位的原因,注意本题有两个答案。在具体谈论职位时,男士提到这是一个没有薪资的实习职位,不过他不在乎,他在乎的是能在电视台工作的经验(It’s the experience—the chance to work in television),今后某天他可能会写作和制作(Some day I’d like to write, or produce)。由此可见,男士之所以想要获得实习职位是想获得相关经验,并且以后想要在电视事业发展,故选B项和C项。
2.(D)
A. I wish I knew people who could help me.
B. I’m the most qualified person for the job.
C. I’m worried that my work will be criticized.
D. I’m not confident about getting the internship.
解析:本题重听的内容是“M:I probably don’t stand much of a chance, though. I’m sure there’ll be lots of other people who apply, with more qualifications than me. ”。从男士说的“可能没希望”以及后面“很多人比我条件好的人申请”可知,男士对自己能获得实习职位的信心不足,故选D项。
3.(D)
A. To encourage the man to apply for a different internship
B. To find out if the man would like to meet her friend
C. To impress the man with her political connections

解析:题目询问女士讲述自己朋友的故事的原因。当听到男士对自己能否获得职位表现出不自信的心态时,女士说有时候重要的不是证书而是人(Sometimes it’s not the credentials but the person who masers),并举出了自己朋友的例子。可见女士在给男士信心,让他相信他有机会得到这个职位,故选D项。
4.(B)
A. Give him an internship application
B. Write a letter of recommendation
C. Watch a television program
D. Help him with an assignment
解析:题目询问男士想要女士做什么。在对话的最后,女士问男士是否想要推荐信(You want a recommendation?),男士则回答“是的”,可见男士想让女士给他写一封推荐信,故选B项。

解析:题目询问被讨论信息的呈现形式。学生先提出了自己对交叉定年法的定义不理解,教授解释完这个概念后,接着举出了一个具体的例子来让学生更好理解。可见信息的呈现形式是通过一个扩展的例子来解释一个概念,故选B项。
6.(D)
A. Two methods of dating cultures
B. The known dates of two cultures
C. Two cultures, each with unknown dates
D. One culture with known and one culture with unknown dates
解析:题目询问考古学家在使用交叉定年法时比较的对象。在解释完什么是交叉定年法后,教授进一步解释说,当考古学家可以确定某一种特定文化的存在时间,却没有信息来确定另一种文化的时间时,可以通过与第一种文化进行比较,得出第二种文化的时间。从这段表述可知,交叉定年法比较的两个对象是一种已知时间的文化和另一种未知时间的文化,故选D项。
7.(B)
A. It is a scientific method of dating.
B. It can be used to date all types of areas.
C. It was not used to date the southern culture.

A. The dates of the southern culture were determined from tree-ring dating.
B. Pieces of southern pottery were found in the northern area.
C. The dates of the southern culture were determined from cross-dating.
