试题答案： 答案解析：The school art department decided to reduce the student number of the sculpture class because in this way, students can pay more attention to the teacher and the class funds can be saved at the same time. The woman totally disagreed with the school decision for the following two reasons: firstly, she thought that the school shouldn’t deprive the students’ right to attend the class and this is more unacceptable than not paying attention on the class. Also, students are willing to pay for the relevant material because they think it crucial to their art performance. All in all, reducing the student number will be harmful for students’ development. [听力原文] W: Can you believe this They are cutting the number of students in each art class, and that will be a total disaster. M: What made you say so W: Well, sculpture is so important for students majoring in art that they would like to choose the class even if not paid so much attention from the teacher. However, the new regulation will deprive many art students’ privilege to choose the class they want. M: I can see where you are. The announcement claimed that we cannot focus on the study with too many students around. W: That will be still better than not having any chance to attend the course at all. M: They are making this policy also because they want to save more money for future needs. W: What a ridiculous excuse! The course is crucial for us and everyone is willing to pay for supplementary materials so long as we really need them. Simply cutting the student number will definitely make students feel unfair. We can be satisfied simply when we have the right to attend the class. document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
