Usually each course is worth three credits. To get the six remaining credits you either prepare a thesis or take two more courses. M: Is there anything else besides the 36 credits for the master's？ W: You have to have an oral defense． M: I see．I really appreciate your help，Professor． W: Glad I can help．Good luck．Peter． (23) A．A literature professor.

听力原文： Hello, I was once a hostess. Now I am on my first bus trip and I’m quite surprised at the services offered during the trip. Included are meals on the way. Rest rooms and public-address announcements. Just now. I introduced myself to the hostess on the bus, and we told each other about experience on air and ground travel. At lunch time, she gave out menus offering a choice of sandwiches. As she started filling orders, she found that there weren’t enough egg-salad sandwiches. She quickly went to whisper to the driver, The bus soon stopped. The stopped. The hostess ran to another bus that was all the time following ours and she soon returned with a box of egg-salad sandwiches. As she passed my seat, she asked.” Could you do that on a plane？” According to this passage, what kind of vehicle did the speaker always ride in the past？ A．By bus. B．By air. C．By train.

W: But flying makes me so nervous. Q: What does the woman prefer？ (14) A．Taking a train. B．Feeling nervous. C．Taking a plane. D．Traveling with her friends.

W: I was going to but I didn't have any change for a pay phone. Q: What can we learn from the conversation？ (18) A．The woman came late because she had no money for the taxi fee. B．The woman failed to come on time bemuse of a traffic jam. C．The woman failed to come on time because she had no money to replace the flat tire. D．The woman failed to notify the man because she had no change for a telephone call.

W：Thank you for your advice，but my bike has got a flat tyre． Q：How does the woman most probably get to work？ (14) A．She will go to work by bike. B．She will take a bus to the office. C．She will get to work by taxi. D．She will walk to the office.

W：I think we've got one．Could you wait until after take-off please？ Q：What is the probable relationship between the two speakers？ (16) A．A guest and a receptionist. B．A passenger and an air hostess. C．A customer and a shop assistant. D．A lodger and a landlady.

W: Oh, please be serious! I suppose they will change shapes as well. If you want a big car to take all your friends camping, I suppose you'll just be able to snap your fingers and make it happen. Or if you want a sporty two-seater, you could just tell the car what you wanted, and it would do the rest. Is that how it will work？ M: No, I am serious. They have found a way to alter the surface of metals so that they can reflect different colors just by passing a small amount of electricity over them. W: Oh, I see. So anything that touches the outside of the car will get a shock. That sounds lovely. M: It's only a tiny amount of electricity. It wouldn't be enough to shock anybody. W: Well, it sounds pretty difficult to believe. M: Yes, it's quite amazing. The important thing you have to remember is that the color of an object is really just an illusion created by the way light bounces off its surface. Engineers have been able to produce a car that changes colors at the touch of a button by slightly rearranging the position of the particles on the surface of the metal. W: It sounds so amazing. But I guess it could be possible. M: It is possible today. The only problem is that it is very expensive. To produce a car with a surface that changed colors would cost almost twice as much as what a regular car costs. For that much money you could just by the car and have it repainted twenty times, so it's not very practical yet. W: Yes, but in other ways it could be more practical. If you took your car to be painted twenty times, it would use quite a bit of polluting chemicals, and it would take a long time. M: You're right there, but how many people really get their car repainted that many time？ W: Hmm, I suppose you're right, but I sure would love to have my car match my outfit every day. (26) A．She is impressed. B．She is doubtful. C．She is shocked. D．She is surprised.

W: Please have a seat. She is in surgery right now. She'll be out in about 20 minutes. Q: Where does this conversation probably take place？ (18) A．In a doctor's office. B．In an operating room. C．In a professor's office. D．In a gymnasium.
