　　M: So, Claire, you’re into drama!

　　W: Yes, I have a master’s degree in drama and theatre. At the moment, I’m hoping to get onto a Ph. D program.

　　M: What excites you about drama?

　　W: Well, (23) I find it’s a communicative way to study people and you learn how to read people in drama. So usually I can understand what people are saying even though they might be lying.

　　M: That would be useful.

　　W: Yeah, it’s very useful for me as well. (24)I’m an English lecturer, so I use a lot of drama in my classes such as role plays. And I ask my students to create mini-dramas. They really respond well. At the moment, I’m hoping to get onto a Ph. D course. I’d like to concentrate on Asian drama and try to bring Asian theatre to the world’s attention. I don’t know how successful I would be, but here’s hoping.

　　M: Oh, I’m sure you’ll be successful. Now, Claire, what do you do for stage fright?

　　W: Ah, stage fright! Well, many actors have that problem. I get stage fright every time I’m going to teach a new class. The night before, I usually can’t sleep.

　　M: What? For teaching?

　　W: Yes. I get really bad stage fright. (25) But the minute I step into the classroom or get onto the stage, it just all falls into place. Then I just feel like: Yeah, this is what I mean to do. And I’m fine.

　　M: Wow, that’s cool!

　　23. Why does the woman find study in drama and theatre useful?[答案]D) It enables her to understand people better.[听前猜测]四个选项中的动词help, improve, strengthen, enable等都表示事物能够起到的作用，因此推测本题考查某事物的作用。[精解]对话中男士询问女士为什么对戏剧如此感兴趣，女士回答说她发现戏剧是研究别人的很好的方式，可以读懂戏剧中的人物，还补充说，即使有人撒谎，通常也能知道人们的真实想法。故正确答案为D)。

　　24. How did the woman’s students respond to her way of teaching English?[答案]B) Positively.[听前猜测]四个选项都是表示人的态度的词语，听音时要留意人们对事物的态度的论述。[精解]女士自我介绍说在课堂上经常让学生扮演不同的角色，创作小话剧。然后补充说，学生们对此反应很好。换句话说，同学们认可她这种独特的教学方式，所以态度是positively，选项B)正确。

　　25. What does the woman say about her stage fright?[答案]C) It vanishes the moment she steps into her role.[听前猜测]从选项出现的keep haunting, vanish和her mind goes blank等表达可推测本题考查人对某事物的感觉。[精解]女士在谈话中先承认自己有严重的stage fright(怯场)感觉，随后又解释说，但是一进入教室或走上讲台，就不再有那种感觉了。结合选项来看，选项C)是女士对stage fright的感觉。
