托福TPO/Official 7 Con 2听力原文Why does the librarian point out the history section to the student?-新东方托福官方网校手机版

旁白：听一段学生和图书管理员的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a librarian.

没参加上新生入学会。不知道您是否可以给我简单介绍一下图书馆呢？

I, um, couldn't come to the student orientation and I'm wondering if you can give me a few quick pointers about the library?

图书管理员：当然，很乐意帮助你。

这儿就是我们语言、文学及艺术的分区。

Well, over here's the section where we have language, literature and the arts.

And if you go downstairs you will find the history section.

一般来讲，学习拉美文学的学生都喜欢在历史分区学习。

Generally, the students who concentrate in Latin American literature find themselves researching in the history section a lot.

我是转学生，而且我在另一所大学学习过一年。

I am a transfer student and I've already done a year at another university, so I know how the research can go.

我在历史的区域花了很多时间。

I spent a lot of time in the history section.

哦，还有，我们有一个图书馆间借阅服务。

Oh, I should also mention that we have an inter-library loan service.

如果你想借阅的书籍在我们馆里没有的话，有一个卡车专门在我校图书馆以及一些公共图书馆或者其他大学图书馆间穿行。

If you need to get hold of a book that's not in our library, there is a truck that runs between our library and a few other public and university libraries in this area.

在我之前的学校，想借阅材料真的是很花费时间啊。

At my last school, it could take a really long time to get the materials I needed.

每次我想做项目的时候，总需要提前制作方案。

So when I had a project, I had to make a plan way in advance.

还有件事，有没有可以使用电脑并插电的地方？

Another thing I was wondering is: is there a place where I can bring my computer and hook it up?

在主楼层这里有很宽敞的区域可供使用笔记本电脑，你可以插上电源，更棒的是我们每个座位上都提供网络连接。

There is a whole area here on the main floor where you can bring a laptop and plug it in for power, but on top of that we also have a connection for the internet at every seat.

学生：真好。这么说我只要在图书馆就可以做我的所有研究了。

Stu: Nice, so I can do all the research I need to do right here in the library.

就在是一个地方，我可以有资源、有书籍和信息。

I’ll have all the resources, all the books and the information I need right here in one place.

图书管理员：是的，就是这么个情况。

我们的系统需要用到复印卡，所以你需要从前台买一张复印卡。

We have a system where you have to use a copy card, so you'll need to buy a card from the front desk.

将复印卡插到打印机里，就能打印了。

You insert it into the machine and you are ready to make copies.

Um, where is the collection of rare books?

图书管理员：珍贵书籍在二层。

Librarian: Rare books are up on the second floor.

那独立的一个房间内，那里有温控，为了保存旧书籍。

They are in a separate room where the temperature is controlled, to preserve the old paper in them.

你如果想进去的话需要特批，而且必须带上手套才成。因为我们手上的油，你知道的，会使纸张变坏的。

You need to get special permission to access them, and then you have to wear gloves to handle them, cause the oils in our hands, you know, can destroy the paper.

而戴手套就避免了这个问题，在房间了我们放置了一篮子手套。

And gloves prevent that so we have a basket of gloves in the room.

Why does the student come to the library?

Why does the librarian point out the history section to the student?

What does the student imply about the interlibrary loan service at his last school?

What does the student need to do before he can use any rare books?

Which sentence best expresses what the librarian means when she says this:

Narrator 
Listen to a conversation between a student and a librarian. 
Stu: Hi, I am new here and I couldn't come to the student orientation and I'm wondering if you can give me a few quick pointers about the library? I’d really appreciate it. 
Pro: Sure. I’d be glad to. What's your major area of study? 
Stu: Latin American Literature. 
Pro: OK. Well, over here's the section where we have language, literature and the arts. And if you go downstairs you will find the history section. Generally, the students who concentrate in Latin American literature find themselves researching in the history section a lot. 
Stu: Um-hmm, you are right. I am a transfer student and I've already done a year at another university so I know how the research can go. I spent a lot of time in the history section. So how long can I borrow books for? 
Pro: Our loan period is a month. Oh I should also mention that we have an inter-library loan service. If you need to get hold a book that’s not in our library, there is a truck that runs between our library and a few other public and university libraries in this area. It comes around three times a week. 
Stu: Hey, that's great! At my last school, it could take a really long time to get the materials I needed. So when I had a project, I had to make a plan way in advance. This sounds much faster. Another thing I was wondering is: is there a place where I can bring my computer and hook it up? 
Pro: Sure. There is a whole area here on the main floor where you can bring a laptop and plug it in for power but on top of that we also have a connection for the internet at every seat. 
Stu: Nice, so I can do the all research I need to do right here in the library. I’ll have all the resources, all the books and the information I need right here in one place. 
Pro: Yeah. That's the idea. I am sure you'll need photocopiers too. There are down the hall to your left. We have a system where you have to use a copy card so you'll need to buy a card from the front desk. You insert it into the machine and you are ready to make copies. 
Stu: How much do you guys get charge? 
Pro: Seven cents a copy. 
Stu: Oh, that is not too bad. Thanks. Um, where is the collection of rare books? 
Pro: Rare books are up on the second floor. They are in a separate room where the temperature is controlled, to preserve the old paper in them. You need to get special permission to access them, and then you have to wear gloves to handle them ‘cause the oils in our hands, you know, can destroy the paper. And gloves prevent that so we have a basket of gloves in the room. 
Stu: Ok. Thanks. I suppose that’s all I need to know. You've been very helpful. Thanks. 
Pro: Anytime. Bye 
Stu: Bye. 
Stu: Nice, so I can do the all research I need to do right here in the library. I’ll have all the resources, all the books and the information I need right here in one place. 
Pro: Yeah. That's the idea.
