Section B (10 marks)

In this section, you will hear two long conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. At the end of each conversation, there will be a one-minute pause, during the pause, read the questions and make your answers on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.

Conversation One

Listen to the conversation, mark each statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to your listening.

6. Daniel found his research on the Globe Theatre interesting and he needed more time to finish it.

7. Lily believed that there must be much difference between today’s performances and the original ones in the Globe Theatre.

8. Daniel said that there were no women on the stage in Shakespeare’s time.

9. No live sound effects are used any more for today’s per formances at the Globe Theatre.

10. Performers wear authentic clothes but use very few props in today’s shows at

the Globe Theatre.

【答案与解析】

6. F 在Lily问起Daniel研究是否已经完成时，Daniel的回答是确定的，意味着此时他的

研究已经全部完成，而不是“需要更多时间来完成”。故该判断错误。

7. T 在说起现代和原始演出的相似度时，Lily问“But some things are different, aren’t

they?”这说明Lily认为两种演出之间必定有很多不同之处。故该判断正确。

8. T Daniel说“I n Shakespeare’s time, people thought it was improper for women

to act.”。莎士比亚时代人们认为女人演出不成体统，因此那时候自然不会有女人演出。

故该判断正确。

9. F Daniel提到“Modern performances at the Globe still use very few props and

only live sound effects.”说明环球剧院的现代演出是使用现场音效的。故该判断错误。

10. T Daniel提到“M odern performances at the Globe still use very few props…”，

以及“The clothes are authentic, too.”由此可知环球剧院的现代演出使用道具很少，演出服装也是原汁原味的。故该判断正确。

【录音原文】

W: Daniel, have you finished your research on the Globe Theatre?

M: Yeah, Lily. I found out lots of interesting stuff about the theatre.

W: Like what?
