托福TPO/Official 16 Con 2听力原文What are two of the criteria the professor will use to evaluate students' essays?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段教授和学生的谈话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a professor and a student.

教授：杰夫，我很高兴你过来了。

我正想祝贺你获得了优秀班干部的称号。

I've been meaning to congratulate you won the Class Leadership Award.

能得到这项荣誉，我真的很高兴，也有些吃惊。

I was really happy to get it and a little surprised.

我的意思是，获得这个奖项的提名的人很多。

I mean, there were so many other people nominated.

教授：嗯，我知道这个奖你受之无愧。

Woman: Well, I know the award was well deserved.

你来这儿想让我为你做些什么呢？

学生：我想和您谈谈中世纪历史考试。

Man: I needed to talk to you about the medieval history test.

就是那个安排在周五下午的考试。

You know, the one scheduled for Friday afternoon.

学生：嗯，我现在上的法语课有一个班级旅行，我们会在周末去蒙特利尔一趟。

Man: Well, there's this trip that my French class is taking. We're going to Montreal for the weekend.

教授：蒙特利尔？这可是我最喜欢的城市。

Woman: Montreal?! That's my favorite city.

嗯，我想去的原因，主要原因是我可以和当地讲法语的学生住一间宿舍。

Well, the reason, the main reason I wanted to go is that we'll be rooming with French-speaking students there.

想必您也理解，这样的话，我们就有机会用法语与那些真正的说法语的人交谈了。

You know, so we can get a chance to use our French to actually talk with real French speakers.

教授：这次旅行听上去是一次不错的机会。

Woman: It sounds like a great opportunity.

学生：是的……不过……嗯，事情是这样的，我们搭乘的客车出发时间恰在周五历史课间。

Man: Yeah, but, well, the thing is the bus leaves right in the middle of when our history class meets this Friday.

所以，嗯，我想我能不能在别的时间参加这次考试，比如周一上午您的坐班时间内？

So, well, I was thinking maybe I could take the test on a different day, like, Monday morning during your office hours?

嗯，那个时间恐怕不行……嗯，等等，让我想想。

Um, that would not be, oh wait, let me just see one thing.

针对你们这门课，我打算用带回家做的形式来考试，这样你就可以带着试卷了。

So, for your class, I was planning a take-home exam, so, you could just take the test along with you.

嗯，让我想想，我猜你周五能来课上拿试卷吧，这样的话，你还是能坐上车，然后在你的旅程中找个安静的时间完成它，然后你可以在周三我收其他同学试卷的时候一起交上来。

Uh, let's see, I guess you could come to class Friday just to pick up the test, that way you'd still make your bus, and then find some quiet time during your trip to complete it, and you can bring it to class Wednesday when I'll be collecting everyone else's.

学生：嗯……嗯……在旅程中考试，嗯，我想这样能行。那现在我就该想想我要带的书和用具了。

Man: Hum, uh, during the trip, well, I guess I could, so I should plan to take my books and stuff with me.

教授：你肯定得把你的课堂笔记带上吧。

Woman: You'll definitely need your class notes.

我会给你们出几道要求你们对课堂内容进行批判性思考的简答题。

I'm giving you several short essay questions to make you think critically about the points we'd discussed in class.

要求你们阐明……并且论述你们的观点，分析问题，估量事情发展的其他可能。

Just state, uh, state and defend your opinion, analyze the issues, speculate about how things might have turned out differently.

这样的话，你想，我不会管你看没看其他材料，我希望的是你们能够综合、反省我们阅读和讨论过的信息，并且以之形成你们自己的观点，而不是重复课本上的观点。

So, you see, I don't care if you look up dates and that kind of thing, what I want is for you to synthesize information, to reflect back on what we've read and discussed, and to form your own ideas, not just to repeat points from the textbook.

学生：是的，我觉得这样的要求有意义。

这次期中考试能够告诉我你们所掌握知识的一切细节（即历史上谁在什么时候、什么地方干了什么事情）。

The mid-term exam showed me that you know all the details of who, where and when.

对于此次考试，我希望看到你们是如何把这些细节综合起来，以形成自己的原创思考的。

For this test, I want to see how you can put it all together, to show some original thinking.

学生：嗯，这次考试听起来不简单啊，特别是我要在路上把试题做完，不过，我想，我能干好的。

Man: That sounds pretty challenging, especially trying to work it into this trip, but, yeah, I think I can do it.

教授：祝你在蒙特利尔过得愉快！

Why does the student go to see the professor?

Why does the professor congratulate the student?

What are two of the criteria the professor will use to evaluate students' essays?

What does the professor imply when she says this:

Narrator: 
Listen to a conversation between a Professor and a Student . 
Professor 
Jeff, I’m glad you drop by. I’ve been meaning to congratulate you on the class leadership award. 
Student 
Thanks Professor Brownson, I was really happy to get it and a little surprised. I mean, there were so many other people nominated. 
Professor 
Well, I know the award was well deserved. Now, what can I do for you today? 
Student 
I needed to talk to you about the medieval history test you know, the one scheduled for Friday afternoon. 
Professor 
Yes? 
Student 
Well, there is this trip that my French class is taking. We are going to Montreal for the weekend. 
Professor 
Montreal? That’s my favorite city. What’ll you be seeing there? 
Student 
I’m not sure yet. Well, the reason, the main reason I wanted to go is that we’ll be rooming with French speaking Students there, you know, so we can get a chance to use our French, to actually talk with real French speakers. 
Professor 
It sounds like a good opportunity. But then, there is that test... 
Student 
Yeah... but.. well, the thing is the bus leaves right in the middle of when our history class meets this Friday. So, well, I was thinking maybe I could take the test on a different day like Monday morning during your office hours? 
Professor 
Jeff, I’m glad you drop by. I’ve been meaning to congratulate you on the class leadership award. 
Student 
Thanks Professor Brownson, I was really happy to get it and a little surprised. I mean, there were so many other people nominated.

I’m not sure yet. Well, the reason, the main reason I wanted to go is that we’ll be rooming with French speaking Students there, you know, so we can get a chance to use our French, to actually talk with real French speakers. 
Professor 
Eh...Monday morning...um...that would not be...oh wait, let me just see one thing. Aha, okay. That’s what I thought. So, for your class, I was planning a take-home exam so you could just take the test along with you. Let’s see, I guess you could come to class Friday just to pick up the test. That way you’d still make your bus, and then find some quiet time during your trip to complete it and you can bring it to class Wednesday when I’ll be collecting everyone else’s. 
Student 
Hmm.. . um...during the trip, well, I guess I could. So I should plan to take my books and stuff with me. 
Professor 
You’ll definitely need your class notes. I’m giving you several short essay questions to make you think critically about the points we’ve discussed in class, to state.. .uh state and defend your opinion, analyze the issues, speculate about how things might have turned out differently. So, you see, I don’t care if you look updates and that kind of thing. What I want is for you to synthesize information to reflect back on what we’ve read and discussed and to form your own ideas, not just repeat points from the textbook. Does that make sense? 
Student 
Yeah, I think so. You are looking for my point of view. 
Professor 
That’s right. The mid-term exam showed me that you know all the details of who, where and when. For this test, I want to see how you can put it all together to show some original thinking. 
Student 
That’s sounds pretty challenging, especially trying to work it into this trip. But, yeah, I think I can do it. 
Professor 
I’m sure you can. 
Student 
Thank you, Professor Brownson. 
Professor 
Have a great time in Montreal. 
Professor 
Eh...Monday morning...um...that would not be...oh wait, let me just see one thing. Aha, okay. That’s what I thought. So, for your class, I was planning a take-home exam so you could just take the test along with you. Let’s see, I guess you could come to class Friday just to pick up the test.
