(B) He doesn’t understand his stuff.

(C) He doesn’t know how to apply computer theory.

(D) He registered for the wrong course.

听力原文/参考答案/解说

-- Jim, I’m having difficulty with all the theoretical stuff we are getting in our computer course.

-- Oh, that part I understand. What I can’t figure out is how to make it work in my program.

Q: What is Jim’s problem?

参考答案　（C）　

Jim虽然懂得计算机的有关原理，却不会上机运用，这就是他的问题。have difficulty with all the theoretical stuff: 对那些理论性的东西闹不明白。figure out: 领会出；解决。He doesn’t know how to apply computer theory 与I can’t figure out how to make it work in my program所表达的意思相同。
