　　W: Recently I read a report about the higher education in Britain. It says that only about 10% of our students leave university without getting a degree.

　　M: That may be true. For me, I am not worried about failing but I am very anxious to get a good degree. My aim is to get a first-class honors degree in chemistry at Cambridge since I have a plan to take up a scientific post in industry. My criterion for choosing a good university is whether it has progressive ideas on education as well as its broader and more varied courses.

　　M: It wouldn't work. There will be too many different opinions. Some professors and lecturers are more interested in their own research than in helping students in their studies.

　　W: Well, there must be some brilliant scholars in the university such as yours.

　　M: Yes, I still go to classes as well as to lectures, but the most important person in my academic life is my tutor who in Cambridge is called a supervisor. I enjoy my weekly tutorials. My supervisor is an approachable man and he is always ready to talk to me about anything connected with my studies.

　　W: Haven' t other universities now introduced some form of tutorial supervision like that at Oxford and Cambridge?

　　M: Yes, in fact, to be honest, there are universities which offer better courses and give better teaching in some subjects than either Oxford or Cambridge. I think that an Oxbridge degree still counts more with some employers than a degree from other universities. But most of them are now more concerned with the kind of degree than where it comes from.

　　W: Anyway, at our universities, the personal supervision and friendly relations with the teaching staff are especially good. The lecturer-student ratio is quite reasonable.

　　M: I am not so sure. But at least we are not over-crowded. I've heard that in some foreign universities lecture halls are packed so full that students have no where to sit.

　　Q 27 What are the man and the woman in the conversation?

　　Q 28 What's the woman's criterion for choosing a good university?

　　Q 29 Who is the most important person in the man's academic life?

　　Q 30 Why is the man complaining about some foreign universities?

　　评析：这篇对话是关于英国高等教育。通过对话，女主人公阐述了自己择校的标准(whether it has progressive ideas on education as well as its broader and more varied courses)，男主人公则提到了在自己学术生涯中最为重要的一个人(the most important person in my academic life is my tutor who in Cambridge is called a supervisor)，男女主人公海还交流了自己对牛津，剑桥大学的看法。

　　整体来看，对话取材贴近生活，难度不大。
