托福TPO/Official 15 Con 1听力原文What will the student write about in his first article for the newspaper?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段学生和校园报社指导教师的对话

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and the faculty adviser of the campus newspaper.

学生：嗨，我几周前在电话里和一个叫……

Man: Hi, I talked to someone on the phone a couple of weeks ago.

指导教师：我是安娜，是指导教师。

学生：噢，太好了。我是皮特墨菲。

You were interested in working for the paper.

学生：是的，我想做一名记者。

指导教师：太棒了。你正在上一门记者学的课程，而且你之前在高中有做过报导，是吗？

Woman: That's right. Uh, you're taking a journalism class and you've done some reporting before in high school, right?

指导教师：最近没有太多的学生来申请职位，

Woman: Well, we haven't had many students applying lately.

所以呢……不管怎么样，你还是想为我们做报导是吗？

So, so, anyway, you still want to do some reporting for us?

学生：是的，如果你们还有职位可以给我提供的话。

Man: Yeah, if you have room for me on the staff.

指导教师：我们一直都需要记者，但是你知道的，我们是不给支付薪水的。

Woman: Well, we always need more reporters, but you know we don't pay anything, right?

指导教师：当然。那我们就看看。

我想我告诉过你，就是我们要求未来的记者提交一些可能性的文章大纲。

I think I told you that we ask prospective reporters to turn in some outlines for possible articles?

学生：是的，我一周前就发送了。

Ma: Yeah, I sent them in about a week ago.

但是目前还没有收到回复，所以，我就想过来问一下，我猜你们目前还没有看吧。

But I haven't heard anything back yet, so, so I thought I'd stop by and see, but I guess you haven't looked at them yet.

指导教师：噢，新闻编辑麦克斯负责阅读所有提交的文章。

Woman: Oh, Max, the news editor, he looks at all the submissions.

学生：哦，那么他还没有做决定到底要不要我？

Man: Oh, so he hasn't made any decision about me yet?

指导教师：我几分钟前才到这里。有几天没有过来了。

Woman: Well, I just got here a few minutes ago, haven't been in for a couple of days.

给我一点时间，我来查一下邮箱。

Uh, just give me a second to check my email.

嗯，这有一封麦克斯的邮件。让我们来瞧瞧。

Uh, here's a message from Max. Let's see.

Well, it seems you've really impressed him.

他说如果你能加入我们的团队将好极了。

He says it'd be wonderful if you could join our staff.

学生：太好了。那我什么时候开始呢？

指导教师：呃，你提交的大纲是和物理系相关的？

Woman: Well, you turned in an outline on something to do with the Physics Department?

学生：是的。他们正想办法来让学生加入他们的基础课程。

Man: Yeah. They're trying to come up with ways to get more students to take their introductory courses.

指导教师：是的。显然别人没有报道过这个事情，所以他希望你继续追踪。

Woman: Right. Well, apparently nobody else is covering that story so he wants you to follow up on it.

学生：好的。那么我发送的另一篇大纲呢？

Man: OK. Uh, what about the other outline I sent in?

就是关于学费上涨的提议的那个？

About the proposed increase in tuition fee?

教师：噢，看来我们已经有人在做了。

Woman: Oh, it looks like we've got that covered.

学生：那么我就从物理系的文章开始做起吧。

Man: So, I'm starting with an article about the Physics Department.

我想我还是最好赶紧进入工作状态。

关于怎么样写好这个故事，你有什么好的建议吗？

Do you have any advice on how I should cover the story?

指导教师：麦克斯会和你谈的，我相信他会让你去探察一下为什么物理系会担忧录取学生的问题。

Woman: Well, Max wanted to talk to you, but, I'm sure he'll tell you to find out things like why the Physics Department worried about enrollment.

是不是最近学生的数量在减少？

Has the number of students been getting smaller in recent years?

他们正在考虑什么方案来解决这个问题呢？

What kinds of plans they're considering to address this problem?

学生：明白了，其中的一些我已经在我的大纲中提到了。

Man: Right. Some of those issues are already in what I proposed.

指导教师：而且你需要做一些采访，你知道的，教授们认为这些方案如何，学生们的想法如何……

Woman: And you want to do some interviews: you know, what the professors think of the plans, what the students think.

学生：但是要等和麦克斯谈完之后才能继续做。

Man: But wait till I talk to Max before proceeding?

指导教师：是的。他会告诉你一切关于如何成为我们报社记者的事情。

Woman: Right, he'll cover everything you need to know to be a reporter for us.

Why does the student go to the campus newspaper office?

Why does the student want to write for the campus newspaper?

The student mentions the proposed tuition increase as a possible topic for the newspaper. What does the adviser imply about the topic?

What will the student write about in his first article for the newspaper?

What does the adviser imply when she says this:
