Conversation Two
W: I want to register for this mathematics course.
M: I'm sorry registration has closed.
W: [22]Closed? But the clerk told me I could come back and register any time during the first week of classes.
M: Well, that's not possible. The computer's official student account has already been sent to the state. And that's what our budget is based on. Who told you that anyway?
W: Some woman here when I tried to register three weeks ago. She said I just had to pay a late fee.
M: She must have been a temporary worker. They don't have much training. Why didn't you register then?
W: [23]She said I couldn't until I had my birth certificate. Here it is.
M: Your birth certificate?
W: Well, I'm a new part-time student. So she asks for identification. I don't drive so I don't have a driver's license.
M: Huh. That's no reason to demand a birth certificate. [24]We only need to establish residency: a phone bill with your name and address on it would've been fine.
W: Really? Only proof of my address?
M: Yes. I'm afraid she gave you the wrong information. Still you'll have to wait and take your math's class next semester.
W: But that's unfair.
M: Well, I sympathize with your problem, but frankly, I don't think there is anything anyone can do for you. You were trapped in the system. [25]If you want to, you can talk to the director. She will help you if she can.
W: Great.
M: [25]But don't get your hopes up.

答案解析：
22. What problem does the woman have?
[B]解析：女士说：“结束了？但是那个工作人员告诉我可以在开学第一周的任何时候来注册的。”可知别人告诉了她错误的信息。所以答案为B。所有选项主语都是She，内容都是说她的问题，故重点留意女士发生了什么事。
23. Why does the woman have to come to the office for a second time?
[D]解析：女士说：“她告诉我必须有出生证才能够注册。这就是我的出生证。”所以D正确。选项B、C、D都有first，而所有选项的主语虽不同，内容却均表示她没有做成某事的原因，故题目应该是询问原因。“原因”为老生常谈的考点。听到男士问“你那个时候为什么不注册呢？”就要特别注意女士的回答。
24. According to the man, what evidence does the woman need to provide?
[C]解析：男士说：“我们只需要登记住址：有姓名和住址的电话账单就可以了。”故答案为C。所有选项都很简短，表面上提供不了多少信息。不过所有选项却都和女士的履历相关。听到什么选什么。原文中的同义解析很关键。
25. What does the man imply when he tells the woman not to get her hopes up?
[A]解析：男士说“如果你愿意，你可以找校长谈一下。如果她能的话她会帮忙的。”后来又说“不过不要抱太大的希望。”所以A正确。所有选项内容都表示the director不做某事，都是负面的信息。假设条件句往往反着选。“She will help you if she can”，说明她很可能没有办法帮忙。
