Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
Student: Hi, Professor, I was hoping to ask you a few questions about the class you’re teaching next semester—the course on Polish drama. I was thinking of taking it.
Professor: Well, that’s an upper division course. You don’t look familiar to me. Are you a student in this department?
Student: No, actually I am not.
Professor: Okay, have you had other classes in the Slavic languages department here or somewhere else?
Student: No, that’s the thing. I was just wondering how good my Polish would have to be, whether the class is taught in Polish or not.
Professor: Well, you’d have to have some knowledge of it. By that level, a lot of the students are quite fluent. Plus there are some native speakers in the department and we don’t plan for it to happen, but it’s pretty common for the discussions to kind of move in and out of English and Polish. And it can be difficult to follow, so how well do you speak Polish?
Student: Not so great. It’s just that my father is from there; so I am interested in learning about, you know, Polish history, Polish culture. Plus I am studying drama. I’ll probably major in it. I love plays, so I thought your course might be perfect.
Professor: To be honest with you, you have to realize we’ll be watching videos of performances and maybe if we can swing it, even watch a live performance and even those won’t necessarily be in translation. Also, texts are sometimes available in translation but even then, some references will be to the original. I’d hope you’d be fairly confident in reading.
Student: To be honest, it sounds totally over my head.
Professor: You know what? I believe that they’ll be offering a survey course on Polish literature. Let me check here. Yes, I thought it was being offered this time. Professor Geworski is teaching it. Let’s see. It covers the major works, you know, epic romantic poetry, the novels, and it does cover one or two plays.
Student: And this is in English?
Professor: Yes, you’ll be reading mostly English translations and the discussions will be in English.
Student: Novels and poetry…
Professor: They’ll provide you with a great historical context for the plays so when you do get to them, you’re going to really have a feel for the times they lived in, so to speak. Plus this course might also give you the impetus to learn more Polish. You know, get it to the level where you’ll be ready for it in the other class.

Also, texts are sometimes available in translation but even then, some references will be to the original. I’d hope you’d be fairly confident in reading.

Let’s see. It covers the major works, you know, epic romantic poetry, the novels, and it does cover one or two plays.
解析：professor之前跟学生讲了在上这个课程的时候，可能要求很强的阅读能力，然后学生说“it sounds totally over my head.”意思就是：听起来我可能hold不住，我晕头转向了。这时候professor来提出的建议a survey course，在后文还说道这个survey course是如何能够帮助到学生。

正确答案：C
定位原文：
Professor: To be honest with you, you have to realize we’ll be watching videos of performances and maybe if we can swing it, even watch a live performance and even those won’t necessarily be in translation. Also, texts are sometimes available in translation but even then, some references will be to the original. I’d hope you’d be fairly confident in reading.
Student: To be honest, it sounds totally over my head.
解析：professor如实向学生介绍了上Polish drama课程的时候一些课程内容，告知学生以他的情况参加这个课程，有可能最大的障碍是reading，所以她委婉地说：我真的希望你对自己的阅读能力非常有信心。言下之意，这门课对reading的要求还是比较高的，你觉得你能行吗?结合选项选择C。
