A: Bye, Mark, have a nice weekend.
B: Thanks, same to you. Doing anything exciting?
A: No, not really. We were thinking of going to the beach, but I don’t think Martin is well enough to go. So he will probably stay in and watch TV. And I’ll plant the rose bushes I bought yesterday.

A: OK, then. I suppose it will make a change from comedies.

6. A. It will be fine.
B. It will be too long.

A: I must admit that I’m not really looking forward to it.
B: No?
A: Well, I’ve been to their parties before, and I don’t suppose this one will be any better. All the same people are going on and on about their jobs.
B: Aha.
A: They all think they are so important. Honestly, I just can’t be bothered with them. I never know what to say. Still I’ve been invited, so I suppose I’d better go.
B: Eh.
Q: What does the man think the party will be like?
Section B (4 points)
In this section, you will hear one long conversation. The conversation will be read only once. At the end of the conversation, there will be a one-minute pause. During the pause, you must read the four questions, each with three choices marked A, B and C, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Questions 7—10 are based on the long conversation you have just heard.

10. C 男士最后提议找个好餐馆请女士吃午饭。【录音原文】
A: It’s a vicious circle, really. It takes me the best part of an hour to get here in the morning, so I honestly never have time for breakfast.
B: But you should always have something. According to nutrition experts, it’s the most important meal of the day.
A: That’s a load of rubbish, if you ask me. It’s all very well for them. They’ve probably got time for it. I haven’t. Anyway, when I get to work, I’m plunged into the usual stressful day, and my hunger just sort of evaporates.
B: Yes. I only live around the corner, but I often skip breakfast myself, but I suppose you could always make up for it at the lunch time.
A: I should, but more often than not I just grab a cup of coffee and a few biscuits, or a sandwich.
B: There’s nothing wrong with that. That’s all I ever have when I’m busy.
A: Fine, but what happens as the day wears on is that the less you eat, the less you want to eat. Abstinence seems to suppress the appetite, somehow.
B: Well, I suspect what we ought to be doing is establishing a regular pattern of eating, instead of just grabbing what we can when we can.
A: Em, a sensible conventional diet. There’s no doubt that’s the way to go, so shall we now go and do something for a change? You name the restaurant and I’ll treat you to lunch.
B: That will be nice.

Ring the following telephone number for further enquiries about the (30) _____: 0171-379-6000.【答案与解析】
21. electronic database
(录音第二段提到Fred Harney受到儿子的启发将他代理的演员信息存到电子数据库里，最终他的电子数据库囊括了英国四分之三以上的演员的信息。)
22. registered
(根据录音原文“…three quarters of the proximately 34 thousand actors registered”可知这里答案应为registered。)
23. agencies
(根据录音原文第一段“…the usual procedure would be the contact of theatrical agency ...”及第二段“With some agencies boasting that they represent over 500 performers”可知这里应是指戏剧代理机构。)
24. books
(传统的建立演员档案的方法是通过books，代理商依然采用的是传统方法。)
25. details
(用books建立起来的档案的缺点在于很难记住每一位演员的详细信息，与录音原文中提到的It can be a nightmare trying to remember just which actor has done what or just what an actor can do相对应。)
26. TV shows
(录音曾提到The database lists details of over 5,500 actors, TV shows they have appeared in, special skills they possess, …。本题的信息词是5.500 actors，TV shows是举的一个例子，用来说明前面的The database lists details。)
27. special skills
(they might have与原文中的they possess相对应。)
28. particular qualities
(录音提到“quickly locates only those persons with the particular qualities”。)
29. theatrical shows
(录音提到“they could be missing out on much needed auditions for parts in theatrical shows.”。)
30. product
(本题的信息词在电话号码0171-379-6000，文中最后一句说For product details, ring this number。由此可知答案是product。)【录音原文】
Welcome to Software World. Bring you the very latest information on what is currently available on CD-ROM. Are you a director or producer looking for an unusual actor to play a part in a new movie project? Or with that special look for a new commercial on TV? OK, the usual procedure would be the contact of theatrical agency who will try to sell the idea of using one of the actors listed on their books. Books? Too old fashion for you? Then get yourself a copy of this latest electronic database called “the Electronic Curtain”.
The “bringing child” of casting agent Fred Harney of the Better Talent Agency. He says he got the idea of an actors’ directory from his son playing computer games. Noting that junior had to type in the details of characters in his favorite game, he realized he could do the same for the actors he represents. Eventually he came to include information on nearly three quarters of the proximately 34 thousand actors registered and looking for work in Britain. With some agencies boasting that they represent over 500 performers, the need for this product is not hard to fight them. It can be a nightmare trying to remember just which actor has done what or just what an actor can do.
The database lists details of over 5,500 actors, TV shows they have appeared in, special skills they possess, everything done to the color of their eyes and other distinguishing physical features. By entering the details of the type of person you are looking for, the database quickly locates only those persons with the particular qualities requested. One problem, though, is that many actors feel it is too impersonal and they could be missing out on much needed auditions for parts in theatrical shows. On the other hand, it might just get them that illusive job. The days of nervous nail-biting while waiting around to give an audition could well and truly be over and all because of our small plastic disc.
For product details, ring this number now: 0171-379-6000, that number again, 0171-379-6000.
