[00:00.00]NARRATOR: Listen to a conversation between a student and his anthropology professor.[00:05.64]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, Mathew. Good to see you.[00:08.31] How can I help you?[00:09.32]MALE STUDENT: Did you happen to read last weekend's art section of the newspaper?[00:12.46]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Um, yes I did. Why?
[00:14.91]MALE STUDENT: Well, you remember the article about an exhibition of ancient feather work pieces from Peru?[00:19.62]Uh, I'm thinking of doing my research paper on this topic, if it's OK with you, of course.[00:24.24]I've done some additional reading about ancient Peruvian cultures, how they used brightly colored feathers to decorate clothes and ceremonial objects.[00:31.71] From the pictures I'm seen, they are beautiful works of art.[00:34.59]FEMALE PROFESSOR:They sure are. [00:35.66]I saw the exhibition a few days ago.[00:37.69] But is that how you'd approach Peruvian feather work in your paper? [00:41.25]As an art form?[00:42.50] Remember you need to take an anthropological angle. [00:45.69]Uh, look at this in a way that tells us something about the people who made this feather work and the societies they lived in.[00:51.93]MALE STUDENT: Well, absolutely. I read that most of the really colorful feathers came from the rain forest and the societies who used them lived on the coast on the other side of the Andes Mountains, so the feathers had to be carried over the Andes. [01:04.13]No wonder feather work was symbol of high status in ancient Peruvian societies.[01:08.34]FEMALE PROFESSOR: That's definitely a long, dangerous trip to make on foot.[01:11.91] I do research down in Peru and I have made that trip, but the easy way. [01:15.78] I've flown and driven.[01:17.24]MALE STUDENT: I didn't know you did research in Peru. [01:19.44]Maybe...do you think you would be able to help me with this paper?[01:23.57]FEMALE PROFESSOR: I'll be happy to help if I can, but Peruvian feather work isn't my area of expertise. [01:28.89]You know, every few pieces of feather work survive because feathers decay so quickly. [01:33.54]Not many people have had the chance to study them up close. [01:36.57]There is a handful of experts out there who have, and I could try to contact some of them.[01:41.17] But I think your best bet is to keep reading and finding more books and articles.[01:45.51] And of course you can use the information you got at the exhibition as source material too.[01:49.90]You've been to the exhibition, haven't you?[01:52.67]MALE STUDENT: Uh, actually...not yet.[01:55.54]FEMALE PROFESSOR: Um...well, it would be a good idea if you went, don't you think?
[01:59.30]It's good that you've done some background reading, but it will make more sense when you actually see the feather work. [02:05.00]There's a lot of information available there from booklets, tour guides. [02:08.97]And you could even ask to meet with the curator and ask for her insights.

本题出题点在于: Well, you remember the article about an exhibition of ancient featherwork1 pieces from Peru? I'm thinking of doing my research paper on this topic, if it's okay with you, of course. 这一段学生的大意是:先问老师有没有读过秘鲁羽毛工艺品展览的一篇文章,接着说明自己想在这个话题上做一些研究,如果老师也愿意的话。选项C符合题意。其余三个选项原文中没有依据。选择C。
