[00:00.00]NARRATOR: Listen to part of a conversation between a student and his theater professor.
[00:06.02]MALE STUDENT: Hi, Professor Davis. [00:08.00]Sorry I missed class yesterday. [00:09.79]I was just getting over a cold.
[00:11.41]FEMALE PROFESSOR: That's alright, Andrew. [00:12.61]Feeling better now?
[00:13.67]MALE STUDENT: Oh, yeah. Fine. [00:14.77]Um, I had a question, though. [00:16.59]For the midterm, um, how much do we need to know, like, about the different acting styles? [00:22.44]Since the last few chapters have been on writing our own material—scripts and stuff—well, will the exam be about that, [00:28.65]or about stuff from the earlier chapters? Like um—
[00:31.20]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh! Andrew, [00:32.15]before I forget—and, uh I will get to your question, but—now don’t leave without taking the tickets for tomorrow's field trip. [00:38.97]I have a last-minute meeting, so I can't make it after all. [00:42.12]But since you helped organize the trip, I'll let you hand out the tickets… [00:45.69]I’ve got everything you need right here.
[00:47.34]MALE STUDENT: Sure, no problem.
[00:48.51]FEMALE PROFESSOR: And… uh, you don't need directions to the theater—[00:51.45]you've been there before, right?
[00:52.74]MALE STUDENT: Yup.
[00:53.30]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Good. [00:53.82]Oh! Oh, also… please remind everyone about the reception afterward—[00:58.41]it’ll be an opportunity to ask Alan Altman about his acting in the play—which, uh, we can discuss in class next week.
[01:05.27]MALE STUDENT: OK, I’ll tell them. [01:06.45]It’s really something!—[01:07.90]I mean, I know our acting professors must be in plays all the time, but it isn't every day you get to see one right here in town.
[01:15.10]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh, you might be surprised. [01:16.93]There's a calendar on the main bulletin board listing all the local productions that faculty are involved in.
[01:22.05]MALE STUDENT: Well, it seems like Professor Altman’s a really popular actor. [01:25.61]I just read his bio in the local paper. [01:27.90]I know the critics, uh, always praise him, but I had no idea he was such a commercial success too! [01:33.32]And—and—it said he just won an award last year!— for,… uh, playwriting, wasn’t it?
[01:39.66]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, there is a general playwriting category, but actually, his award was for script adaptation—[01:46.23]he adapted a novel into a play.
[01:48.45]MALE STUDENT: Script adaptation…?
[01:50.26]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh, it’s a very specialized skill—[01:52.24]writing a play based on some other written work—novels, short stories… [01:56.72]Now we've been studying original plays, which are pretty much based on the writer's imagination. [02:01.55]But think about adapting a script…
[02:04.30]MALE STUDENT: Yeah… seems like it might be easier, like to start with something that's already written.
[02:09.19]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, actually… Think about it: transferring that material to a whole different genre. From narration to live dialogue.[02:18.67]Imagination is a part of it, sure, but it also requires a lot of technical knowledge—about theater production… acting… and so on. [02:27.69]So Professor Altman, for example: he took a novel and made it into a play, dealing with all the different conventions that plays have—[02:35.93]you know, like limitations of scene changes… and, uh…—well, it'd be a good thing to ask him about at the reception tomorrow.
[02:44.01]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, sounds like an interesting topic.
[02:46.25]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh—and before I forget—the packet with the tickets has a list of the students'addresses. [02:51.47]Since the van is picking you up first, you can direct the driver to the other students'dorms.
[02:56.97]MALE STUDENT: Sure, that was the plan.
[02:58.31]FEMALE PROFESSOR: OK; good. Now, about the midterm…

对话讨论的主要内容是围绕了两个方面展开的,一是学生一开始提出的关于期中考试的问题教授没有直接回答,而是提醒学生准备好field trip,且下文提到了theater,对应选项D的local play;第二个主要内容是讨论Altman教授写剧本方面的成就,下文基本都是围绕此人展开,对应选项C的 playwriting accomplishments。因此正确答案为CD。
