1. (2024·广西壮族自治区模拟)  听材料, 回答问题。

Good morning. Do you know what the assignment is for our term paper in history?<br />Sure. Weren't you in class on Monday? That's when it was given out.<br />No, I missed that class. Was there a handout?<br />No. The instructor just wrote the assignment on the board.<br />Could I copy the assignment from your notes?<br />You could if I copied it all down, but I just wrote down the part that I wanted.<br />Oh, no.<br />You see, there are four choices of topics for the term paper,<br />but when I saw them, I knew which one I wanted, so I didn't copy the others down.<br />Can you remember any of the others?<br />Let me see. There was one about World War I, something about it, but I don't remember what.<br />And there was one called the idea of progress in the 19th century.<br />I can't remember others. My mind is a complete blank. Maybe you can ask someone else.<br />Yes, I will. Anyway, both of them are certainly broad topics.<br />Yes, but you could focus on the special area within them. Which one would you take?<br />I think I will take the idea of progress.<br />That's very abstract.<br />Yes, but it is one of my interests, and I read a lot on the subjects.<br />I have never written a term paper on it, though.<br />Good morning.
