讲解:
在这道题给出的文章其实不难,但是要求考生结合两片短文的意思来作答。首先第一个短文给出了一份暑期培训的注册条件、课程安排等。紧接着是一封给学员的邮件。只有通过阅读这两个文件,我们才能获得完整的信息: Ms. Mazniki在网上报名参加了这个暑期培训项目中的三门课程:ACC102,MA102 和COM102。但是实际上她只能参加后两门课。接下来,通过课程和上课时间的对照,我们能找出第一题的答案。
从texte 2中给出的,Ms.Mazniki 未被ACC102接受的信息中,我们可以知道这是由于她之前的分数不够。接下来要做的就是在报名条件中找到录取的分数线再来找第二题的答案。
至于最后一题,由于Ms. Mazniki 的学生证件是结课前10天到期,同时结合课程表上的信息:课程截至日期是8月30日。我们就可以容易的作答了。
改革后的托业考试增加了一定的难度:因为这一部分的阅读量增加了,可供答题的时间却不变。所以除了像第一部分中介绍的那样,建议大家“带着问题去看文章”以外,最重要的其实还是要多做练习,提高阅读的速度。
