Both the question and the recording will be read only once. After each recording, there will be a pause.

1. A. Asking the customer’s opinion.
B. Offering a cheap sample.
C. Explaining a price rise.【答案】B【解析】录音中提到他们谈话的地点是在the market，其中一人说你可拿一双回家，价格已经降了50便士。由此可知，B选项符合题意。【录音原文】
You are walking round the market when you hear this woman talking to a customer. What is she doing?
—Look, I’ll tell you what. You just take a couple home tonight. I’ll knock off 50 pence. How’s that? And try them, you’ll love them. I promise you. And then tomorrow you can come and tell me if I’m not right. What do you say to that then? I cannot say fairer than now, can I?

B. It wasn’t part of her job to do it.
C. She didn’t know which notes to send.【答案】A【解析】医生在电话上说他没有收到便条，将亲自去看看便条，由此可知护士没有把便条送来。根据所给出的选项，用排除法可以排除B，C两项。【录音原文】
You’re in the doctor’s waiting room when you overhear the nurse on the phone. Why didn’t she send off the notes?
—No, I haven’t received anything. Well, I do, normally, but even if our receptionist had, she’d have told me straight away. Of course, I’ll go and look the notes, though, now, and send them off straight away. Now what was the patient’s name again?
3. A. A bowl.
B. A lamp.
C. A vase.【答案】C【解析】第二句话说它太高太薄了，你会把它撞倒的，可以把花放在里面。由此可知谈论是花瓶。【录音原文】
You’re in a gallery when you hear a couple talking. What are they looking at?
—It’s very lovely, isn’t it?
—Well, I suppose so, but it’s not really practical, is it? I mean it’s so tall and thin. You’ll be afraid of knocking it over. Or would you actually put flowers in it?
—Oh, really. You put it somewhere where the light could shine through. Just look at it. You wouldn’t want to use it, not at that price.
4. A. Repairing a printer.
B. Positioning a personal computer.
C. Selecting a CD player.【答案】B【解析】第二句话说你需要光吗？你不想让光反射在荧屏上，可知他们谈论的是电脑。【录音原文】
You are visiting a large company. And you hear two people talking. What’re they discussing?
—Look, we can put it here on the table.
—Yes, that’ll leave the desk clear for papers and things. But will the light be OK? You don’t want it reflecting on the screen.

You hear someone introducing a program on the radio. Where is he?
—I’m here outside now and there’s quite a crowd beginning to build up behind the fence. They’re hoping to get in to see what the new changing rooms are like. Supposed to be really luxurious compared to the old ones. And also the new dining area, which I understand is overlooked by the café, should make that the good place to pass the time while you are getting dry. And now here’s the Mayor of Tonton arriving to actually perform the opening ceremony.
6. A. Both of them.
B. The boy.
C. The girl.【答案】C【解析】由第三句话可知女孩会去看电影。【录音原文】
These friends are talking about a film. Who will go to see it?
—I really think you ought to give it a chance. You are usually so narrow-minded.
—I’m not. But Tom said his dad really enjoyed it. We’ve got nothing in common as far as I know. So I know what it’ll be like.
—Well, I think you’re silly. You’ll be sorry when I tell you how funny it was.
7. A. The boss is unfair to him.
B. He has been ill.

These people are talking about their colleague, Jim. What’s Jim’s problem?
—I don’t know what Jim’s got to grumble about. My work load has doubled in the past year and I still manage. He is not doing anything different from when he arrived, as far as I can see.
—Yeah, but he’s not as energetic as you are. Well, no one is. But the boss doesn’t blame me when I get a bit behind. He is very understanding with me. But with Jim, he goes on and on.
—I haven’t noticed it. But you’re probably right. I wonder why he does it.
8. A. Cancel her booking.
B. Postpone her flight.
C. Change her destination.【答案】B【解析】这位女士想alter the flight，因为她在Holland的弟弟最近因工作的原因而有些事情要处理，所以她想推迟出行。【录音原文】
Listen to this woman phoning a travel agent. What does she want to do?
—On the 4th of June, yes, Amsterdam, Holland. Now my problem is my brother’s there and he was supposed to be fixing accommodation for me. But he has a problem with his work right now. And he asked me to reserve it from here. Yeah, well, what it is, I don’t really want to spend my vocation going around the city alone. So I wanted to ask you whether it would cost a lot to alter the flight, say, to later in the summer when maybe he will be freer and we might even get to visit a few more places?
9. A. A repair man.
B. A friend.
C. A retailer.【答案】A【解析】这位男士在第一句话中所说的them指厂家，因为guarantee中不包括这一项，所以他只好求助于修理工。【录音原文】
Listen to this man telephoning someone about his washing machine. Who is he talking to?
—I’ve been in touch with them already and they said it’s not up to them because the guarantee doesn’t cover it. So I was wondering whether he might be able to come and have a look. I don’t suppose you could give me any idea of what the charge might be.
—Yes, I see. The thing is I’ve got some friends coming around this weekend and ...
—Oh, that’d be great.
10. A. A supermarket.
B. A concert hall.
C. A racetrack.【答案】C【解析】由最后一句中的runners可知应该是在跑道上，所以C项符合题意。【录音原文】
You switch on the radio and hear this report. Where is it coming from?
—There’s a tremendous crowd here today. Everyone is mailing about looking very excited. There’s laughter and music and lots of chatter. I’ve been talking to some of the people around me and there’s no doubt that there’s a fair amount of money changing hands as well. And now we’ll go over to Amell Burns who has been watching the runners coming up to the start.

Well, I’m very glad to welcome you all to the practical model of our design course at the beginning of the New Year. As you’ve no doubt realized, we have people here from years one to three and we find that as most of the work is in small groups or individually based. This works out pretty well, even though we are a bit short of space.
Now I’ m going to go through some administrative staff and then we’ll get on to project planning. So first of all, we are in the studio here every afternoon except one. So we do have a sort of base, which is quite nice, but once a week we have to move out. That’s into Room 51 which is on Thursdays. It’s a bit of a nuisance because it’s not as big as in here. But we’ll manage somehow and on Fridays you can use the big space over the back of the hall which is called the gallery for private study if you want to spread out a bit. That’s only on Fridays, though, I’ m afraid.
Now as far as extra courses go, you should have already selected these and the days for them are as follows: Monday is the only day when the dock room is free, so that’s photography. Tuesdays John Howard comes in here to take sessions on print technology. And Wednesdays I’m here for model making. Now if you haven’t selected your options for this term, you need to get a move on. When we finish now, I’ll be showing you around the rest of the department and you can get a form from the academic secretary on the way. Oh, you also need to get one if you want to do the full day course which is on Saturdays on computer-aided design, but that only applies to your third year students of course. And do you know where the office is?
Now that’s nearly all except a reminder to you all that we provide all the equipment you need for practical work, including card and photographic papers. But you must bring your own stationery. You should have proper notebooks and we don’t expect to have to find bits of paper for you to make notes on when you forget them.
And lastly about absence. If you’re not well, if it’s just a couple of days, you can phone the administration assistant and ask him to pass the message on to this department. If it’s more than a couple of days, you must send a written explanation to the department head; otherwise you could be penalized in your course grade for absence without permission. Ok, well, you’ve been warned.
Now, for you new guys, let’s go and look around the rest of the place. The rest of you, no doubt, have things to be getting on with.
