And first the headlines:The Prime Minister has promised to help the drought stricken farmers in the Example northern part of the country who haven’t seen rain for nearly two years. And in Sydney a group of school children are successfully rescued from a plane which Q11 landed in the sea shortly after take-off. Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne over a pay claim and the strike looks set to spread to other states. And Q12 on a fashionable note, there s to be a new look for the staff of QANTAS, Q13 Australia’s national airline.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Prime Minister has pledged today that he will make two hundred and fifty Q14 million dollars available to help the drought stricken farmers who have not seenram for years, get through the next five years. Money that was to have been spenton the re-structu ring of Sydney’s road system has been re-allocated to what the Q15 P:rime Minister described as 'a more worthy cause'. Farmers are to receivefinancial assistance to help see them through the worst drought in over 50 years. Many farmers feel that while the money is welcome it has come too late to save Q16 them and their farms from financial ruin and are angry that the government didnot act sooner.A group of school children who were travelling in a privately chartered Q17 aeroplane from Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert found themselves swimming for the shore when their aeroplane had to land in the seajust three minutes after taking off from Sydney airport. The pilot managed to Q18 bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of BotanyBay where boats and pleasurecraft were able to come to the rescue of the boys. Q19 The fact that it was a weekend meant that there were hundreds of boats inthe bay enjoying the good weather and this undoubtedly helped the rescue operation. 'We owe our lives to the skill of the pilot,' said one of the boys, but the Q20 pilot replied modestly that it was 'all part of a day’s work'. However, all their Q21 musical instruments were lost and they never got to play at their concert.SECTION 3M = male studentF = female lecturerM: Hello can I come in?F: Oh yes, come in.

You’ve been really helpful.F: That’s fine. See you next week then.SECTION 4Lecturer:Good morning and welcome to the University of Westlands. My name is Marcia Mayhew and I’m the co-ordmator of the Bachelor of Social Science degree. This morning I’d like to tell you about the structure of the university and about someof the requirements of the degree that you’re about to enter. The Bachelor ofSocial Science is in one faculty within the university, that is the faculty where I Q32 work, known as Arts and Social Sciences. Here on this campus we also have the faculties of Architecture, Law and Science and Technology among others.It’s important to know something about the structure of the faculty because, asyou go through your course, you may need to call on members of the staff to help you.At the top of the faculty we have a dean and below the dean we have three Q33 divisions; each division has a divisional head and your degree is located in the Division of Social Sciences. Within each of the divisions, there are the departments and each of these offers the different degrees. For instance two of the departments which offer the major subjects for your award are Sociology and Psychology. Each has a departmental head but for practical purposes the people you are going tosee the most of are myself as co-ordinator of the social sciences degree and the actual lecturers who are teaching the subjects that you are taking. For instance inthe first semester you’ll be doing four subjects psychology sociology history and Q34 economics.If you have any problems or difficulties, not that I’m anticipating you will, butyou never know, then you should go and see your lecturers. For instance, youmay find that you can’t meet a deadline for an essay or perhaps you re having Q35 problems with attendance. These seem to be the two most common problems that Q36 students face.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If your lecturers are unavailable, you can always come and see me in my office.I’m available on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and on Friday afternoons Q37 Outside these hours, perhaps you could ring the secretary and make an appointment. Now you’ll note that all of the subjects which you undertake in the first yearare composed of lectures and tutorials. A lecture is about an hour long and atutorial usually runs for about two hours. A lecture is rather like what I am doingnow where one person will talk to all of you together on a subject. We do ask youto try to attend the lectures.A tutorial is perhaps where most of the learning occurs at a university. You willbe divided into groups of between 12 and 15 students and each week one of youwill have to present a piece of work to the group as a whole and then the groupwill discuss what you’ve said. It’s this discussion, this exchange of ideas, which Q38 really constitutes the basis of university learning, in my view. Listening to lecturesin many ways is just giving you information that you could access for yourself inthe library but the discussion at the tutorial is very important. This doesn’t meanthat you shouldn’t go to the lectures though!Other factors to be particularly concerned about are the structure of essays and delivery of written material and in particular I would like to mention the questionof plagiarism.

剑桥雅思5听力原文(最新整理)

TEST 1 SECTION 1RECEPTIONIST: Good afternoon, Dreamtime Travel. How can I help you?CUSTOMER: Oh hello. I'm interested in the holidays you offer along the coast near here.RECEPTIONIST: Yes. We operate several tours up the coast. Where in particular did you want to go?CUSTOMER: Well, I like the sound of the holiday that mentioned whales. Was it'Whale Watching'?RECEPTIONIST: Oh, that's our Whale Watch Experience. lt's very popular and it's based in a lovely little town with nice beaches.CUSTOMER: Oh right, and how long does it last?RECEPTIONIST: It's two days - that includes four hours' travel time each way from here.CUSTOMER: Good, I don't want to be away any longer than that. So is that by coach? RECEPTIONIST: Actually it's by minibus. We like to keep those tours small andpersonal so we don't take a whole coachload of people. in fact, weonly take up to fifteen people on this tour, although we do run itwith just twelve or thirteen.CUSTOMER: Oh, right. So do you run these tours often? RECEPTIONIST: Well it depends on the time of year. Of course in peak times like the summer holidays we do them every weekend, but at themoment it's usually once a month at most.CUSTOMER: And when is the next one going?RECEPTIONIST: Mmm, let me see. Um, there's one in three weeks' time which is April the 18th, and then we don't have another one until June the2nd.CUSTOMER: All right, and is April a good time to go?RECEPTIONIST: Pretty good. Though the really good time is later in the year. I haveto say though that the whale sighting is only one of the many thingsoffered.C: Really?R: Yes.The hotel itself where you stay has great facilities. It's called The Pallisades.C: The Paris what?R: No, it's actually The Pallisades, P-A-L-L-I-S-A-D-E-S. It's right on the main beach there.C: Oh, I see.R: All of the rooms have nice views and the food is really good there too.C: Oh right.C: And what about the other things? You know, that are included in the price.R: Oh, there are lots of things. If you don't want to do the whale watch cruise, your guide will take anyone who is interested either on a bushwalk through the nationalpark near the hotel, and there's no extra charge for that, or on a fishing trip. That'san extra $12 I think. And there's also a reptile park in town - that costs more orless the same.C: No, I think I'd prefer whales to snakes.R: Yeah. And if you just want to relax you are free to sit by the hotel pool or go down the beach. Oh, and they also have tennis courts at the hotel, but you have to payfor those by the hour. But there are table tennis tables downstairs and they're partof the accommodation package. Just speak to your guide.C: Well that sounds good. So how much is the basic tour price?R: At this time of year it's usually around $300 but let me check.Er...oh, it's actually $280.C:And the next tour, are there any places on that one?R: HOW many people Is It for?C: These are two of us.R: Yes, that should be fine. Can I just mention that we require all bookings to bemade at least fourteen days before you travel to avoid cancellations of tours. And ifyou cancel within seven days of departure you will have to pay 50% of your totalbooking.C: OK.R: And you also need to pay a 20% deposit at the time of booking.C: Can I pay that by credit card?R: Yes, you can.C: All right, what I'll do is I'll talk to my partner and get back to you.R: Fine. So I'll make a provisional booking, shall I? - two for the Whale Watch Experience. Let me issue you with a customer reference number for when you call back. Do you have a pen?C: Yes.R: OK, it's three nine seven, four five, T. That's T for tango. When you call back, ask to speak to the Tour Manager, that's me, Tracy.C: Fine, I willSECTION 2Hello and welcome to today's “Buyer Beware” programme, where we give you some tips on how to spend your money wisely. Now, in today's show we're looking at beds for children and babies. Let's start by looking at baby cots, that's for children of up to three years old. We tested three different cots all in the budget price range and, as usual, we will feature the good points, the problems and our verdict. The first cot we looked at was by Baby Safe and it had several good points to recommend it. Our testers liked the fact that it had four wheels, so it was easy to move around. The only slight problems with this cot were that it had no brakes, but they didn't think that mattered too much. At first they were a bit concerned about the side bar, because they felt babies could trap their fingers in it, but our testers felt that this was unlikely to happen so they have given this one a verdict of “satisfactory”. The next cot was by Choice Cots and this time our testers were pleased to find a cot which is simple to put together - unlike others we looked at. On the minus side, our testers did not like the fact that the side of the cot did not drop down, making it difficult to pick up newborn babies. However, the real problem with this cot was the space between the bars; ourtesters found they were too wide and a baby could easily trap his head. We felt this was a real safety hazard and so we have labelled this one dangerous, I'm afraid.And finally better news for the Mother's Choice cot. This cot was slightly different in that, although the side bar did not drop down, the base could be raised or lowered into two different positions making it safe as well as convenient. The negatives for this one were quite minor; the only niggle everyone had was the fact that it has no wheels and the only other problem anyone could find, was that there were pictures which were simply stuck on and so could easily become detached. The makers have now promised to discontinue this practice. As this cot will then be safe in every way, we have made the Mother's Choice cot our best buy. Congratulations Mother's Choice! So, what features should you look for in a baby's cot? Well obviously safety is a very important factor as well as comfort and convenience. We recommend that, if you are buying a cot, do make sure that any metal present is not rusted or bent in any way. You should ensure your cot has only rounded or smooth edging without any sharp edges, this is especially important for wooden cots. And now on to beds for toddlers ..SECTION 3ANDREW: Excuse me, I was told to come here for advice about, erm, Management Diploma courses?MONICA: You've certainly come to the right place. Hi, my name is Monica.A: Nice to meet you. My name is Andrew, Andrew Harris.M: So, Andrew, have you seen our diploma course prospectus yet?A: Yes, I've already looked at it. In fact, I thought the information on course content was really useful, but I'm afraid I'm a bit confused by all the different ways you can do the course: full-time intensive, part-time and so on.M: Well, let's see if I can help. I think each course type has its advantages and disadvantages, so it really depends on you - your own study habits, and your financial circumstances, of course. Are you working at the moment?A: Yes. I've been working in the administration section of the local hospital for thelast three years. And before that I worked in the office of a computer engineering company for two years. So, I've got about five years of relevant work experience.And what I'm hoping to focus on is Personnel Management.M: I see. And are you planning to leave your current job to study, or are you thinking about just taking a year off?A: I want to know what my options are, really. I don't want to quit my job or anything and my employers are keen for me to get some more qualifications but obviously, it would be better if I could do a course without taking too much time away from work.M: Right, so you don't really want to do the full-time course, then?A: No, not really. It's also a question of finances. You see, my office have agreed to pay the cost of the Course itself, but I would have to take unpaid leave if I want to study full-time and, well, I don't think I could afford to support myself with no salary for a whole year.M: OK. Well, you have two other possibilities: you could either do the part-time course- that would be over two years and you wouldn't have to take any time off work - or you could do what we call a 'modular' course. You could do that in eighteen months if you wanted - or longer, it's quite flexible and it would be up to you.A: Mmm. So what does the part-time course involve?M: For that you would join an evening class and have a lecture twice a week. Then, you'd have to attend a seminar or discussion workshop one weekend a month.A: What kind of coursework would I have to do?M: Well, it's a mixture. You'd be expected to write an essay each month, which counts towards your final assessment. You have a case study to do by the end of the course, which might involve doing a survey or something like that, and also you need to hand in a short report every four weeks.A: So, that's quite a lot of work, then, on top of working every day. It sounds like a lot of studying - and really tiring.M: Yes, you certainly wouldn't have much free time!A: What about the 'modular' course? What would I have to do for that?M: That's where you get the opportunity to study full-time for short periods. That way you can cover a lot of coursework and attend lectures and seminars during the day. And each module lasts for one term, say, about twelve weeks at a time. There are obvious advantages in this - the main one being that you can study in a much more intensive way, which suits some people much better.A: And how many of these 'modules' would I have to do to get the diploma?M: The current programme is two modules - and then you have to choose a topic to work in more depth - but you can base that on your job, and so you don't need to be away from the office, and how long it takes is up to you.A: The important thing is that you don't have to study and work. You can focus on one thing at a time.M: Yes, I can see that. It certainly sounds attractive! It would be more expensive, though. I mean, I'd have to support myself without pay for each module.A: That's true, so that might be a problem for you. Look, why don't you talk this over with your employers and ...SECTION 4OK, so we've been looking at the attitudes of various social and cultural groups towards the management of their personal finances - how important they feel it is to save money, and what they save their money for. One aspect that we haven't yet considered is gender. So if we consider gender issues we're basically asking whether men and women have different attitudes towards saving money, and whether they save money for different things: Back in 1928 the British writer George Bernard Shaw wrote in his Intelligent Women's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism that A man is supposed to understand polities, economics and finance and is therefore unwilling to accept essential instruction.' lie also said, 'A woman, having fewer pretensions, is far more willing to learn'. Now, though these days people might question a lot of the assumptions contained in those statements, recent research does suggest that there are some quite fundamental differences between men and women in their attitudes toeconomic matters. Let's look at what men and women actually save for. Research studies of women in North America have found that women are far more likely to save for their children's education and they are also more likely to save up in order to buy a house one day. The same studies have found that men, on the other hand, tend to save for a car, which by the way takes a surprisingly large amount of the household budget in North America. But the other main priority for men when saving money is their retirement. When they're earning, they're far more likely to put money aside for their old age than women are. Now this is rather disturbing, because in fact the need for women to save for their old age is far greater than for men. Let's consider this for a moment. To start with, it is a fact that throughout the world, women are likely to live many years longer than men, so they need money to support them during this time. Since women are likely to be the ones left without a partner in old age, they may therefore have to pay for nursing care, because they don't have a spouse to look after them. Furthermore the high divorce rates in North America are creating a poverty cycle for women. It is the divorced women who will most often have to look after the children and thus they need more money to look. after not just themselves but others. So what can be done about this situation? The population in North America is likely to contain an increasing number of elderly women. The research indicates that at present for women it takes a crisis to make them think about their future financial situation. But of course this is the very worst time for anyone to make important decisions. Women today need to look ahead, think ahead - not wait until they're under pressure. Even women in their early twenties need to think about pensions, for example, and with increasing numbers of women in professional positions there are signs that this is beginning to happen. Then research also suggests that women avoid dealing effectively with their economic situation because of a lack of confidence. The best way for them to overcome this is by getting themselves properly informed so they are less dependent on other people's advice. A number of initiatives have been set up to help them do this. This College, for example, is one of the educational institutions which offers night classes in Money Management, and increasing numbers of women are enrolling on such courses. Here, they can be given advice ondifferent ways of saving. Many women are unwilling to invest in stocks and shares, for instance, but these can be extremely profitable. It is usually advised that at least 70% of a person's savings should be in low-risk investments but for the rest, financial advisors often advise taking some well-informed risks. Initiatives such as this can give women the economic skills and knowledge they need for a comfortable, independent retirement. The increasing proportion of elderly women in the population is likely to have other economic consequences...TEST 2Section 1LIBRARIAN: Good morning, North College Library. How can I help you?MAN: I was wondering if it was possible to join the library.L: Are you a student at North College?M: No, I'm not, but someone told me it was possible to join, even if I wasn't.L: That's right, it is. Are you over 18? That's our minimum joining age.M: Yes, I am.L: That's no problem then.M: Could you tell me what I have to do to join?L: Well, you'll need to come in to the library and fill out some forms. You'll also need to bring two passport photos with you. We also need two documents for ID, so a driving licence would be fine.M: I've got that and what else? A credit card?L: No, it needs to have your address on it.M: Shall I bring a bank statement,, would that do?L: That'll be fine.M: Good. Does it cost anything to join?L: Well, it's free for students here but otherwise it's £125 per year or £25 if you've gota current student card from another college.M: I was at Westerly College until last year but now I've got a job at Jefferson's steel factory. Er, it's more expensive than I thought. My local library is free.L: But you'll find they don't have the range of reference books or facilities which we buy for our students. That's why you have to pay to be an external member.M: I see. How many books can I borrow?L: We allow twelve items borrowed at any one time if you're a student, and that includes CDs, DVDs and videos. However, it's only eight items for members of the public.M: Fine. And how long can I have them for?L: Well, you can have both fiction and reference books for four weeks which isn't bad really.M: And what happens if I return them late?L: Like all libraries there's a fine system in place. The minimum fine is £1.50 but it can be much higher for some items - up to £5 per week. WWe'll give you a booklet with all the details when you join. You can always renew items if they're not required by anyone else by telephoning or logging on to our website.M: What about the computers? Can I use them free of charge?L: For college students it's free, but for external members like yourself, the first hour is free and then we make a nominal charge of £ 1 per hour thereafter.M: Do I have to book in advance for them?L: Oh, yes, it's advisable. Most people tend to book twenty-four hours in advance although sometimes you can get one with only six hours' notice. However, the earliest you can book a computer is forty-eight hours before you need it, and you can only book one hour at a time. If no-one else has booked the computer out, then you may be able to have another hour if you want. We have a wide range of databases, so the computers are in great demand.M: I'm thinking of doing some writing and I might need to access national newspapers. Do you have them on these databases?LI: We do indeed. We've got all the big nationals, The Guardian and The Observer, The Independent and The Times and Sunday Times. We've also got all the local papers and a wide selection of magazines.M: Excellent. I assume you have photocopying facilities?L: Of course. 5p a sheet for both A4 and A3 black-and-white copies and 40p a sheet for colour. You can get a card from the counter here - it doesn't take coins.M: OK. Oh by the way, another thing I was wondering about was if you ran any writing classes through the library?L: We do, but you'll have to speak to John Grantingham about that. He's our resident author. He runs the creative writing classes.M: John ... Grant .... Could you spell that for me please?L: Certainly.G-R-A-N-T-I-N-G-H-A-M.M: Are the classes here at the library?L: Yes - he's here on Thursday evenings, oh no sorry, Friday - he's just changed it.You can contact him by emailing the library.M: Okay. Right, well that's about all I need to know. Thank you. I'll be along later this week to join. Thanks. Bye.SECTION 2My name's Dan Pearman and I'd like to talk about the work of Pedal Power, a small charity based mainly in the UK. I'll be giving our contact details at the end, if anyone would like to find out more about how to support us.But first, how the charity began. I got the idea of exporting bicycles to developing countries while I was in Ecuador. I went there in 1993 just after graduating from university. After three years of studying, I wanted adventure. I loved travelling, so I decided to join a voluntary organisation and was sent to Ecuador to carry out land surveys. The project came to an end after five years and when I returned to the UK in 1998, I started planning Pedal Power.Where I lived in Ecuador was a very rural area. My neighbour had the only bicycle in the village, whereas everyone else walked everywhere. My neighbour's business was unusually successful, and for years I couldn't understand why. Then I realised having a bike meant he could get where he wanted to go without much trouble. Other localcarpenters could only accept jobs in a three-kilometre radius, so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as my neighbour.At Pedal Power, we collect second-hand bikes in the UK and send them to some of the poorest regions in the world. When we distribute bikes overseas we don't give them away for free. We'd like to, but long term that doesn't really help the local economy The demand for bikes is enormous, which makes them very expensive locally So we sell them for 5% of the normal price. But in order to continue operating we need to have a constant supply of bikes which we send out every six months.One example of a own that's received bicycles from Pedal Power is Rivas. It was the first place I sent a full container of bicycles to. Most people there now own a bicycle. The local economy has developed so much, you wouldn't recognise it as the same place. In fact, there are more bikes than on the streets of Amsterdam, if you've ever been there.But Pedal Power still needs your help. You may have read about some of our recent problems in the British media. In August 2000, we simply ran out of money. We had containers of bikes ready to send, but no money to pay the bills. It was a terrible situation. We managed to ensure the bikes went out on time, but the other problems carried on for several months.Fortunately in October 2001 we won an Enterprise Award which helped us enormously. We invested fifteen of the seventy-five-thousand-pound prize money to help secure our future. Winning the award helped raise our profile, and the money enabled us to pay all our shipping costs, which represent our greatest expense. Pedal Power changes lives - when someone gets a bicycle from us, they see a 14% increase in their income. We're currently looking to invest in computers so that our office staff can do an even better job. Because of our work, people in a number of countries now have a better standard of living - so far we've provided 46,000 people with bikes. Butwe'd like to send more, at least 50,000 by the end of the year.Now there are many ways in which you can support the work. of Pedal Power, not just by taking a bike to a collection in your area. I should also like to say if you do have a bike to donate, it doesn't matter what condition it's in - if we can't repair it, we'll strip it down for spare parts. Of course, to do that we always need tools, which are expensive to buy, so we welcome any that you can give. Also, you could help by contacting the voluntary staff at our offices, they'll be able to suggest activities you could organise to bring in funds for us. People do all kinds of things - including, of course, s d bike rides. Also, we're always interested to hear of other places that would benefit from receiving a consignment of bikes, and welcome suggestions from people who've been to developing regions on their travels. We hope that by talking on radio programmes like this, we will be able to raise public awareness, which will lead to government organisations also giving us regular financial support, something that we really need.If you'd like some more information about where to donate an old bicycle or offer help in other ways please contact us on ...SECTION 3TUTOR: First of ail I'd just like to say, Cristina and Ibrahim, that I really enjoyed watching your video about student life last week, and I could see that therest of the group did too. You did really well, and I hope that you got a lotout of it. I'd like to use this tutorial as a feedback session, where you reflecton the experience of doing the project. So Cristina, I was wondering, whatdid you enjoy most about making the video?CRISTINA: I liked using the camera.T: Is it the first time you've operated one like that?C: Yes, it is.T: Well the results were very good! Anything else?C: I also enjoyed visiting one of the British students we filmed. I'd never been inside a British home before.T: OK Cristina, thanks. What about you, Ibrahim? What did you enjoy?I : Well for me it was a very good chance to get to know students who are on othercourses, because everyone in our group is studying English, and we don't usually have much to do with the rest of the college.T: Yes, good. Do you think you'll maintain the contact now?I: I hope so. I've invited three of them to have dinner with me next week.T: Great! If you haven't decided what to make yet I can tell you they'll love trying Arab dishes. And of course, it's good for your English too. Cristina, what did you find? What was the most useful aspect of the project from the point of view of the English practice?C: I think, when we were being shown how to edit the film, we had to follow the instructions. And that was very good practice for me. And I also learnedsometechnical words that I hadn't heard before.T: What about you Ibrahim? What was the most useful for your English?I: It was listening to the British students, because they don't speak as slowly as most of the tutors on our course. I think they speak at natural speed, so it forces me to get used to it. And they use a lot of slang.T: So you learned some new words which will be useful?I: Yes. TUTOR: Good. I'm glad it helped. Well, we've talked a little bit about enjoyment, and about language practice. Were there any other benefits? What else did you feel you'd learnt from the project? Was it useful in other ways?C: Yes, well firstly, I learned how to use a video camera. And also, I think I really learned a lot about working together with other people. I've never done anything with a group before, and we had to find ways of cooperating, erm, andcompromising, and sometimes persuading people, when they don't agree with you. T: Yes, that is a very useful experience, I know. TUTOR: What about you, Ibrahim? I: Well, I think I learnt a lot about how important editing is. When you're filmingyouthink that everything's going to be interesting, but in fact we cut around half of it in the end, and then it was much better.T: Good. Well, one last thing I'd like to ask. What mistakes do you think you, as a group that is, made? I mean, to put it another way, if you had to do it all over again, is there anything you'd do differently?C: We didn't plan very well. For example, we didn't decide on dates when we'dcomplete each separate step of the project, and we should have agreed about that in the beginning, because we were always late with everything!T: Right. Anything else?C: I think we should have tried to experiment more with the camera. I mean with angles, and the focus and that kind of thing.T: So you should have been more ambitious? Do you agree, Ibrahim?I: Not really. In fact, I think we were too ambitious. We were inexperienced, and we didn't have a lot of time, and we tried to do too much, to make a lone film. Next time I would make a shorter one and try to get quality better.T: Well, that's very interesting. Next semester we will anther video project - with a different content, of course - but you'll have an opportunity to put into practice what you've learnt this time. Do you have any ideas about...SECTION 4Tonight I'm going to talk to you about that remarkable continent Antarctica - remote, hostile and at present uninhabited on a permanent basis. For early explorers, it was the ultimate survival contest; for researchers like me, it remains a place of great intellectual challenge; while for the modern tourist, it's simply a wilderness of great beautyFirst, some facts and figures. Antarctica is a place of extremes - the highest, coldest and windiest continent and over fifty-eight times the size of the UK. The ice-cap contains almost 70% of the world's fresh water and 90% of its ice, but with very low。

剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文1This is the Business English Certificate Higher 2, Listening Test 1.Part One. Questions 1 to 12.You will hear the introduction to a seminar, called the Business Master Class, about the use of Information Technology in the workplace.As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]Woman: Good morning everyone and welcome. Thanks for coming. My name is Jane Watson and I look forward to meeting you all personally. Some of you are here just for today, others, I know, will be attending for all three days. I’m just going to say a few words on behalf of my company who have organised this event, Global Conferences plc. As you know, today’s seminar is The Business Master Class, to be conducted by our distinguished guest who I will introduce in a moment. But first a few quick points of organisation which perhaps you’d like to note. All the sessions will take place in this hotel except for the last session on Tomorrow’s Software, which will be at the New City Hotel. We will meet there at 2pm and this will give us a chance to see in action some of the things we have been discussing. A map with directions to the New City Hotel is available from me if you wishto make your own way. Alternatively there will be a bus going there at 1.30pm. There is limited car parking at the New City Hotel so if you wish to drive there you will need a permit. You can get one from the conference office.Now to the reason we are all here. We are very fortunate to have a seminar today led by Dr Martin Sangalli, one of the most prominent and well-respected commentators in the world business community. He’s been asked to advise many large corporations. He is a specialist in the strategic use of Information Technology in banking, pharmaceuticals and retail. He has his own company called Logic Solutions, which consults with some of the biggest names in the world of business. He is also an adviser to Intertel and a non-executive director of Global Conferences. Thousands of business and technology managers have benefited from reading his best-selling book, Intelligent Change. Always inspiring and thought provoking, his ideas have helped hundreds of organisations to gain a glimpse of the future. He is Europe’s most famous IT analyst. Dr Sangalli - welcome.Man: Thank you Jane, for that flattering introduction. I hope I can live up to it. So to begin. There are two main difficulties facing all corporations today. Firstly, how to make themselves more customer-driven. Secondly, and as a result of that, is the question of how to go about the major task of developing and implementing new organisational structures. This is a senior management session and is designed to provide you with two things. I hope that by the end of the session you will be equipped to design your own framework for action. To help you do this you will also be able to take away documentation of real- life case studies that I’ve been involved in. So, if you would like to look at the screen...剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文2this is the Business English Certificate Higher 2, Listening Test 2.Part One. Questions 1 to 12.You will hear a consultant giving a talk to a group of UK business people about exporting to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]Man: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the fourth in our series of brief country profiles for companies who are thinking of extending their trading activities into new areas. Our chosen country this afternoon is the United Arab Emirates or UAE. Now, in geographical terms it is relatively small but what makes it very significant in commercial terms is its high purchasing power. The two most important cities, from a commercial point of view at least, are Dubai City and Abu Dhabi City, particularly the former. It is important to remember that the UAE has always been a distribution centre through which goods pass to neighbouring countries. Another point is that in recent years the UAE government has made the legal framework much more user-friendly by simplifying commercial law.What are they like as people to trade with? What are they looking for from you, the potential exporter? Firstly, UAE customers are very knowledgeable about the latest trends.They’re not interested in last year’s fashions or products. They are only interested in the most up-to-date, high-quality products at a keen price.Like everyone else they don’t like unreliability, whether in terms of getting the goods there when you promised them or the performance of the product itself. Above all, however, they insist on your meeting their high expectations regarding after-sales service. And being a small market, geographically speaking, businessmen tend to know each other, so once you do a good job for one customer, then the news travels fast round the UAE and you’ll soon be getting orders from other agencies or whatever, because they’ve heard about you. But be warned - it also works the other way!Another point to bear in mind that’s true of nearly all markets, but, believe me, it is particularly true o f the UAE: don’t imagine mailshots or emails are going to produce good results. Local businesspeople don’t just prefer a personal visit, they insist on it; it’s the only approach possible.Now, how to get started: so what are the various ways of selling goods and services in the UAE? What I would recommend, to make your first contacts, is attending a trade fair - one of the many held in Dubai. Having made your contacts, there are various options open to you. The most popular way to start is with direct sales to local contractors. This method is fine for one-off deals or where you just want to try things out. On the other hand, if you’re thinking of supplying goods or services to a government body then you’ve got to have a local agent. Lastly, there’s the bra nch office option or the possibility of going into a joint venture with a local partner. It is always an expensive option, and the UAE is no exception in this. In general, I wouldadvise exporters to gain at least five years’ experience in the case of the UAE before opening a branch office there, although of course there could be exceptions to this.Now as far as import documentation is concerned...[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]That is the end of Part One. You now have twenty seconds to check your answers.[pause]Part Two. Questions 13 to 22.You will hear five different people talking about the relocation of their business premises.For each extract there are two tasks. Look at Task One. For each question 13-17, choose the reason given for deciding to relocate the company premises, from the list A-H. Now look at Task Two. For each question 18-22, choose the problem described that arose after the relocation, from the list A-H.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have thirty seconds to read the two lists.剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文31 to 12.You will hear a spokesperson telling a group of business people about the Business Support Agency- an organisation which distributes business and research grants.As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]Woman: Thank you everybody, thank you. The Business Support Agency or BSA are very proud of the part we play in the development of business success. T oday I’ll give you a bit of background on the Agency, and then outline the steps involved in applying for support. OK?What we do, basically, is distribute financial support from our funds, which come from the central government Department of Education on the one hand, and then that sum is matched - the amount fluctuates on a yearly basis –by contributions from a number of multinational companies. We then follow the procedures I’ll be outlining in a moment. Some examples of this work, if you’re interested, can be seen in our annual report - I’ll leave copies out for you to look at. Since we began, we’ve given out over three hundred grants. We made twenty awards last year alone, and expect that figure to rise to twenty-five next year. But we’re not simply giving this money away - our criteria are strict.So, how do you apply? Well, there are four steps to making an application. In the first place, you should get in touch with our Project Coordinating Office. You can call them on 0188 45 45 45 and express your interest. They’ll then send you an application form. It’s quite a lengthy document, I must warn you, and you’ll need to fill in information about the history of your company, outline your requirements, and include the predicted benefits. That gives us the beginning of a picture and enables us to make an initial decision about whether to proceed any further. The third step would be having a meeting with one of our regional consultants. This involves talking through your ideas fordevelopment if you get the grant and should help you to focus clearly on your exact needs. And the fourth step is producing a full plan, which needs to include all costs and dates. By this time, both sides will have a very clear picture. Now, all this obviously takes up quite some time, and you need to think carefully about which personnel within your organisation are going to be availa ble to put in the necessary work. OK, well that’s then your role finished for the time being.Meanwhile, we continue to go through your plans in detail. Ultimately, whether or not you get a grant will be decided by our central committee. This consists of representatives from our funding bodies and a panel of experts. For logistical reasons, they only meet every three months, so it can take a while for you to hear from us. Now, assuming you are successful - and around eighty per cent of applications are - the BSA will be looking to fund seventy per cent of your overall requirement. That proportion is up from a maximum of sixty per cent last year. The payment will be made in quarterly instalments. This has proved to be the most generally useful method all round. The last job for you will be coming up with a progress review, which you need to do at the end of the first year. Right, well, are there any questions?剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文42.You will hear a representative of a company which organises trade fairs for academic recruitment. She is talking to a group of prospective clients.As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have forty-five seconds to read through the notes.[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]Woman: OK... well thank you very much everyone. First of all I’d like to introduce myself and my company. I’m Paula Shandling from Praxis Academic Recruitment Fairs and I’m here today to tell you a little about our operations in various parts of the world and the specialist services we offer to make our exhibitions well known for being cost and time effective - reaching your target audience with the minimum of effort on your part.Now firstly I should explain that the main geographical area we serve is Central America. But, and, I understand this is the area of interest for most of the audience here today, we are currently expanding into South-East Asia.Right, regarding our exhibition package, we believe we offer a very comprehensive deal to the prospective exhibitor. We have found over the years that clients prefer to have a self- contained package rather than spending time negotiating add-ons. And because of this we have been able to keep the cost to a minimum. And what that includes is, as you can see, the exhibition stand. Of course, you can’t get very far in an exhibition without one of those –and also full materials delivery. We’ll get everything to the venue for you safely. And a very popular recent addition to the package has been the local trade guide. This has proved very successful because it includes lots of specific information about local conditions - hours of work, past patterns of enrolment in situ, etcetera, etcetera.Now, as well as the full package on site, as it were, we are well aware that one of the most wasteful and demotivatingaspects of fairs from your point of view is the time spent dealing with casual enquirers. For this reason we have been developing over the past two years what we call a ‘filtering system’. By this we mean our set of strategies developed to virtually guarantee that enquirers at your stand are genuine potential customers i.e. mature individuals with the appropriate means, and all this means that you maximise quality contact with potential customers. Now, how our filtering system works is through our targeted advertising and what this essentially means in the case of academic recruitment is to run adverts in academic journals, which of course we research thoroughly to keep up to date, and secondly through our own website. A recent development has been the service we offer to put your business information onto our website a month in advance of the fair and retain on the site for six months.Right now, there are other features of our fairs which we adapt to local conditions –what we call ‘context-sensitive’ features. They are, as you can see, suitable opening times that means you have access when needed and that can make a lot of difference to the number of people attending, plus our interpreter service, particularly useful for undergraduate enquirers wishing to take advantage of language support services in your institutions.A few practical details now - you can get more information from the publicity leaflet which I distributed at the beginning of the talk. This will tell you about venues and about special services and finally about costs.[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]That is the end of Part One. You now have twenty seconds to check your answers.[pause]。

I'll be free for five mon ths.My job is due to start on October the 2nd, and rm available from May the 1st un til late September. Good.

Thank you, Margaret. Goodbye. Bye.12-4-2Welcome to this podcast about the Sheepmarket, which is one of the oldest parts of the city.As its n ame suggests, there was origi nally a market here where farmers brought their sheep, but now it's bee n redeveloped into a buzz ing, vibra nt area of the city, which is also home to one of the city's fastest-growi ng com mun ities.The nearby university has always meant the area's popular with students, who come in to enjoy the lively ni ghtlife,but now graduates embark ing on careers in the worlds of fashi on and desig n are buying up the new apartme nts rece ntly built here to replace the small houses where the market workers used to live.The narrow old side streets are great places for finding original pictures, jewellery and ceramics which won't break the bank, as well as local produce like fruit and vegetables. There's also lots of paveme nt cafes where you can have a coffee and watch tourists from all over the world go by. The oldest buildi ngs in the area are on the main streets, in clud ing the city's first departme nt store, built in the 1880s, which is still ope n today.The Sheepmarket is a centre for fashi on, and there's a policy of en couragi ng new young desig ners.The Young Fashi on competiti on is ope n to local young people who are passi on ate about fashi on.This year they've bee n asked to desig n an outfit based on the ideas from the music and tech no logythat's part of their everyday life, using both n atural and man-made fibres.The garme nts will be judged by a panel of experts and fashi on desig ners,and the winning en tries will be modelled at a special gala eve ning.Park ing at the Sheepmarket is easy.There are plenty of pay and display car parking spaces on the roadsides which are fine if you just want to stay for an hour or two,but if you want to spend the day there it's better to park in one of the four underground car parks. It's not expensive and if you can present a receipt from one of the local stores, you'll not becharged at all.After six pm many of the car parks have a flat rate which varies but it is usually veryreas on able.The Sheepmarket is one of the main centres for art and history in the whole of the country.If you look at our map, you'll see some of the main attract ions there.Most visitors start from Crawley Road, at the bottom of the map.The Reyno Ids House is one of the oldest houses in the city, and is ope n to the public.It's on the north side of Crawley Road, n ext to the footpath that leads to the public garde ns.The area's particularly interesting for its unusual sculptures.'The Thumb' is just what its n ame suggests, but it's about 10 metres high.You'll see it on Hill Road, across the road from the Bank.The Museum's got a particularly fine collect ion of New Zeala nd Ian dscapes.It's on the east side of the Sheepmarket, on City Road.It's on the other side of the road from the public garde ns, immediately fac ing the jun cti on with Hill Road.The Con temporary Art Gallery is on a little road that leads off Statio n Square, not far fromthe public garde ns.The road ends at the gallery - it does n't go any where else.That's ope n every day except Mon days.The Warner Gallery specialises in 19th-ce ntury art.It's on City Road, near the junction with Crawley Road, on the same side of the road as the public garde ns.It's open on weekdays from 9 to 5, and entry is free.Fin ally, if you're in terested in purchas ing high quality artwork, the place to go is Nucleus.You n eed to go from Crawley Road up through Stati on Square and east along Hill Road un til you get to a small winding road tur ning off.Go up there and it's on your right - if you get to City Road you've gone too far.12-4-3Joe, you know I'm giving a presentation in our film studies class next week? Yes.Well, could we discuss it? I could do with gett ing some one else's opinion.Of course, Katie. What are you going to talk about?It's about film adaptations of Shakespeare's plays.I've got very interested in all the different approaches that film directors take. Uhuh.So I thought I'd start with Giannetti, who's a professor of film and literature,and in one of his books he came up with a straightforward classification of film adaptations based on how faithful they are to the orig inal plays and no vels.Right. I've already made some notes on that, so I just need to sort those out before the prese ntatio n.I thought that n ext rd ask the class to come up with the worst examples of Shakespeare adaptati ons that they've see n, and to say why.That should be more fun tha n hav ing their favourite versi ons.Yes, I can certa inly think of a couple!Right. Next I want to talk about Rachel Malchow.I came across someth ing on the internet about her work on film adaptati ons, and I was thinking of showing some film clips to illustrate her ideas.Will you have eno ugh time, though? Both to prepare and duri ng the prese ntati on?After all, I doubt if you'll be able to find all the clips you want.Hmm. Perhaps you're right.OK, well, I'd better do some slides in stead, say ing how various films relate to what she says. That should en courage discussi on. Mmm.Next I want to say someth ing about how plays may be chose n for adaptati on because they're concerned with issues of the time when the film is made.You mean things like patriotism, or the role of governments?Exactly. It's quite tricky, but「ve got a few ideas rd like to discuss.And fin ally I want to talk about a few adaptatio ns that I thi nk illustrate a range of approaches, and make some comme nts on them.感谢阅读，欢迎大家下载使用！。

Oh, sorry, he was a scale one, so that’s £457.60.Anything else?M: That’s fine, thanks. I’ll send them the information today.Conversation Two (Questions 5-8)W: Hello, Black-Ball Printers. Julie David’s speaking. How may I help you?M: Hello, this is Mark Jones from Europe Holidays. I was hoping to speak to Steven Kirby about the stationary you’re printing for us.W: I’m afraid Steven is away until Friday.M: Oh, you see, I’m not v ery happy with the business cards and I want to see if I could make a couple of changes to the paper, too.W: Would you like me to pass on the message?M: Yes, please. The thing is I’ve just received your proofs. The cards themselves are fine, but you se em to have misunderstood the quantities. I’m sure I asked for 500 for eachof the Marketing Executives, and 750 for me but you’ve put everyone down for 750. W: Right, I’ve made a note of that. Is there anything else?M: Yes, well, this is my mistake really. Could you ask Steven to move the company logo further to the left? It’s too close to the address of the moment. I think that’s all for now.Thanks.Conversation Three (Question 9-12)W: Jeff?M: Yes?W: I just want to find the lines for the preparation for the delegation next week.M: Certainly. It’s Thursday, isn’t it?W: Yes. Now, can you make sure that each of them gets a name badge and the information pack? The badges are done but you need to prepare the packs with all relevant information.M: Ok, that shouldn’t take too long. What about catering?W: Coffee’s organized for 11:03, but lunch, it’s 1:00. We need to reserve it for 12 people.The office restaurant is close next week, can you ring the Park Hotel. The Grand Hotel was a bit disappointing last time.M: I’ll get down to that.W: Now, they’ll be coming straight from the station and the taxi would bring them to the front gate, so make sure you’re there to greet them. That’ll be about 10:00.M: 10:00, and then…W: …into reception, I think. Make s ure the new designs are on display. I want them to see those first.M: Ok.W: Oh, let me know if all is finalized. Bye.Listening Part TwoII. Questions 13-1713.W: Well no wonder the bank’s returned it unpaid. Look, the figures don’t match the amount in words. I expect someone was filling it in too much of a hurry. Let’s see, we’d better issue another one straight away to pay Mrs. Burton, because it’ll be another three weeks if we wait for the next cycle of payments. Her expenses on that sales trip were pretty high, and it wouldn’t be fair to keep her waiting much longer.14.M: Some of the suppliers are already asking about the increases. I’ll check, but I seem to remember from last week’s meeting that in the end we agreed on three per cent. So what I’ll do is go down each column and calculate the new amounts, and then it can be printed in time to be inserted into the new brochures. Can you check the figures for me, though, before it goes to the printers?15.W: We’ve just received the paperwork from you about cleaning our premises, and I have to say that it doesn’t reflect what we agreed in our conversation last week. For one thing, it says that we have to supply our security code, and for another it specifies monthly payment in advance, and I told y ou both of those were out of the question. I’m afraid I really can’t sign this. Could you send me a revised one?16.M: Of course, this only gives a very general picture. But as you can see, cash is a particularly healthy area. That’s even when we take in to account regular outgoings on loans and leasing equipment, which are included in the final totals. And even more significantly, unpaid orders are actually excluded from the final calculation. These represent a sum of approximately thirty thousand pounds. With that in mind, we can say that the company’s overall position is still strong.17.W: I’ve just asked the Arden Conference Centre about availability for our next training seminar, and they said they still haven’t been paid for the one before last, wh ich should’ve been dealt with six months ago. I’ve had to ask them to send a duplicate! We really must be careful. Arden give us very favorable prices, but we haven’t got a contract with them– Can you deal with it straight away so we stay in their good books?Listening 1 参考答案1. Jaye2.

Right, you’ve booked Report Writing next month.W: Yes, that one’s ok, it’s Taking Minutes that I cannot manage on the 8th of July. Do you know when it’s running again?M: Oh, let me see. Mm, not until the 18th of September, I’m afraid.W: That sounds fine. Oh, I think I’ll be abroad then.M: Then there’s the 1st and 13th, October.W: I like the late date, please.M: Fine, I’ll change your booking.W: Another thing. It says in your brochure everyone attending a course gets a certificate, but I haven’t received one for a course I took last January.M: Oh, I’m sorry about that. Which course was it?W: Ah…something to do with dealing with the public.M: Mm, that must be customer service.W: Sounds familiar.M: Ok, I’ll put it in the post today.W: Thank you very much. Goodbye.M: Goodbye.Conversation Two (Questions 5-8)M: Hello, **Telecoms.W: I’d like to speak to Tony Wilson, please.M: I’m afraid Tony isn’t available. Can I take a mes sage?W: Yes, please. I’m Sheila Dallas from World Net.M: Right.W: I’m ringing about the telephone system your firm installed here yesterday. We are not happy with it.M: Oh, dear. What seems to be the problem?W: First of all, your engineer said with th e number of the extensions we’ve got, 6 outside lines would be enough, but we asked for 8. And anyway, you’ve charged us for the larger system.M: Right, we’ll look into that.W: Then, whenever we try to transfer calls from one extension to another, we loose them.We’re following the instructions, but it just doesn’t work.M: I see.W: And finally, could you ask Tony to check the invoice please? He promised us a discount on installation which is shown on one of the equipment, but that isn’t there. M: Righ t, I’m sorry about that. I’ll get Tony to contact you as soon as he’s free.W: Thank you. Goodbye.M: Goodbye.M: Good morning. Marketing Department. Peter Menzies speaking.W: Hello. Could I speak to John Fitzgerald, please?M: I’m afraid he’s not in the office at the moment.W: Well, this is Elizabeth Parnell calling. I wanted to talk to John about the meeting next week. You see, I only get back on Tuesday night from a trade fair in the States.M: So, would you like me to give him a message?W: Yes, could you ask him if we can postpone Wednesday’s meeting? Till after lunch. That would be easier. It was originally going to be at ten a.m.M: OK. I’ll ask him to change it. I’ll get back to you with a time.W: Thanks. And could you also ask him to add another item for discussion at the meeting?I thought we were going to talk about the revised budgets –but I can’t see this on theagenda.M: OK. I’d better ask him to call you …W: Yes, please. I’m at Head Office at the mome nt. Can he phone me here today –I won’t be back at my own desk until tomorrow afternoon.M: Right, I’ll give him the message.W: Thanks.M: Bye.W: Goodbye.Listening Part TwoII. Questions 13-1713.W: Yes, it was interesting. Some of it was rather obvious, of course, like dressing smartly, making sure you arrive on time, that sort of thing. But there’s also quite a lot I’ve never really considered, like ways to interpret what the advertisement is really asking for, reading between the lines, and the section which lists some of the harder questions they tend to ask you with effective answers you can give.14.M: Invaluable, I’d say, such as how to prevent making some of the more embarrassing mistakes. It gives you kind of time scale to follow through. For example, they stress that you need to get publicity up running a good 6 months before you want to stage the event. And your main speakers booked earlier than that. They say you must make sure you got a good assistant to support you. Check the details.15.W: Actually, although it was a bit long, it was definitely useful. The trouble often is, when the management take on new staff, they don’t necessarily really know what skills and qualities are needed. I want someone who’s more than just a secretary ty ping out letters every day. I’m looking for a right hand, someone to do everything, and this book spells out what that means. It helps me to drop out a job description.16.M: Well, I wish I read it some years ago, that would have saved me from some of my worst inefficiencies. I recommend it to anyone. It shows you how to produce a perfect schedule for getting through your workload. Once you’ve got yourself organized, made lists of tasks and priorities, you can make best use of each and every day. Otherwise, you’re just constantly confusing your PA with endless requests all terribly urgent.17.W: Certainly, a lot of the book was very specialized, but it did give me an idea of how the agencies do the job. Of course, they are the people with creative ideas, the expertise, so I’m happy to trust the image development work to them, but I read the book so I could talk to them on equal terms about what we were trying to do and how well it fits in with our overall business strategy.Listening 2参考答案1.

I’ve just had an interesting conversation with a man form Electrolin. It should really be followed up with a visit or something, but I’m on a holiday from tomorrow, so could you do it for me?W: Sure. Is he interested in accountancy package?M: I wish he were. For the time being, he’s only asking about the customer database, something to keep a record of contacts and action taken.W: Okay. Who’s the contact person? Is the Sales Manager?M: Not this time. It’s the new Communications Director, Steve McCormack.W: Okay. The first thing I wanna do is look at it so I’ll give him a ring and suggest hecomes here for a product demonstration.M: That’s a good idea. Can you arrange it before I get back?W: I should think so. How urgent is it? Should I contact him immediately?M: I wouldn’t say it’s top priority, more like medium, I’d say. Get in touch with him when you got time. Anyway, thanks, bye for an hour. I’ll talk to you again soon.Conversation Two (Questions 5-8)M: Lightweight Cycles, Fill Mall, Sales.W: Hello, Fill. It’s me, Saundra.M: Hi, Saundra, what can I do for you?W: We’ve just got the Sales Literature for the Paris Trade Show next week and there’re some problems. Can you get it sorted out for me?M: Go ahead.W: First of all, we need some more catalogues for racing wear. There’s a lot of interest in it, especially the shorts and shoes.M: Okay, 30 enough?W: That should do it. And you know the little pull of leaflet for the children’s cycles. W ell, there’s a mistake on the 3rd page. The specifications for the wheels are wrong.M: Oh, that’s bad. We’ll change that and get you new copies by the weekend. Anything else?W: Eh…yes, the touring cycles, the lightweight ones. I cannot find any pricelist s for them.Please ask whether they’ve been sent out.M: Okay. And are you all right for the order forms?W: No, thanks for reminding me. We’re short of forms for spare parts. Could you send us some more?M: Right, got that.W: Ah…that’s it then. Thanks, F ill.Conversation Three (Question 9-12)W: Hello, APT Office Equipment.M: Hello, this is John Ryman from Planet Design Shops. I’m calling about our order for security camera. It’s been dispatched tomorrow and the driver will need delivery instructions.W: Okay.M: Address first. The old confirmation gave the Retail Park as the delivery address, but your invoice has our central branch, (oh) that’s not we’ll want it to be delivered, the confirmation was right.W: Okay.M: Now, parking. The spaces opposite the shop are for disabled drivers only, so your driver should use the loading area where he sets up your equipment.W: I’ve got that.M: We’ve had payment ready for you.W: That’s fine, thanks. I’ll make out the receipt for the driver to give you when he m akes the delivery. Will you be paying back by check?M: Yes.W: And you have something for the driver to collect, I understand.M: Yes. We’ve come to the end of the rental period on our photocopier; we bought a new model, so the old one’s to be returned.W: Right. The driver will call you tomorrow with a definite time.Listening Part Two13. EM: We’ve looked at various measures and would be making recommendations to senior management next week. We think the company should consider introducing an evening s hift to maintain 70% capacity on all the machines. We’re also aware the hold ups of the packaging line. And we’d like to bring in an additional machine and split the line in two. That’ll speed things though. We did consider bonus schemes for certain catego ries and employee but decided this wouldn’t have sufficient impact.14.ＦW: When we first required the factory premises, the rent was well within our means. But because that area of the city has developed more quickly than others, it’s now a prime site and the cost of retaining it has risen accordingly. In fact, we would make considerable savings by relocating to the industry estate on the other side of the town, which would improve product distribution anyway. A second suggestion is to vacate the top floor of the building. We do have a few staff now.15.ＣM: As you know, we adopted various measures 3 years ago with the aim of boosting sales.We managed to increase output and cut costs by introducing new machines. We also cut our profit margins still further. But even though we were able to lower prices as a result, I’m afraid we still didn’t meet targets. The demand for this particular commodity just isn’t there any more. So we should stop production as soon as current contracts expire.16.ＡW: I think your analysis of the situation is correct. The product is already doing very well but demand hasn’t peaked yet by any means, and if we want to take full advantage of the boom, we’ve got a step up our promotion and our mechanism and place to increase manufacturing capacity if necessary. And that means we’ll n eed additional funding before long. So let’s start approaching people who express interest as in the past.17.ＨM: 2 or 3 years ago, there were 10 or even 20 applicants for every job we advertised but things have changed. Unemployment in general is right down and every one is competing for workers now especially skilled labor. If we want to get good people and ret ain them, we have to offer a better package. I’m not suggesting we put wages up yetI think we are to try other things first, like one of welcome payments, relocationallowances and possibly loyalty bonuses.Listening 3参考答案1. customer database2.

It’s Alison Gates from Merland Healthcare calling. We are currently working on the website for our healthcare products and we’re looking for a company like yours to develop a database for us. That the reason I’m contacting you is that I spoke to one of our suppliers and he was very positive about the work you’ve done for him. I’d be very glad if you could contact me. I’m away all next week, but I’ll still be able to access my emails. The best thing would be for you to email me at agates (all one word) @. “Howarth”s spelled “h-o-w-a-r-t-h”, then “.com”. If you are interested, the best thing would be for us to meet. It would also be useful f or you to talk to our IT Coordinator at the same time. So if you couldn’t cater your availability over the next a few weeks, that’ll be good. I look forward to hearing from you. Goodbye.Conversation Two (Questions 5-8)M: Mike Shepherd.W: Hello, it’s Karen Peterson here from Marketing. I’ve been called away on urgent business but I wanted to you to have my report on the MusicMate cassette player to discuss the directors’ meeting this morning.M: Oh right. Ok, then I’d better make a note of this.W: Right, MusicMate has been our second all-time best-seller with a reputation based on quality design and inexpensive price.M: Okay, I’ve got that.W: Sold originally only on the Asian market, it was then launched in Europe, which rapidly overtook Asia in sales volume, giving us a sure sign that the USA and even bigger market should be our next target.M: Fine. I don’t think we’ll be making any decisions about new market, though.W: Ok, back to the UK market then. I think it’s important not to neglect our loyal customers here. What would be really helpful would be a new advertising campaign, but I’m aware there is not enough in the budget for that. So I’m suggesting that the way forward is to offer greater discounts. This should form the basis for our marketing plan.That’s it. Oh, and also any rumors of my department warning to face our MusicMate or false? We’re very optimistic about its future.W: Fine. Well, look, it’s been a pleasure talking to you and…Conversation Three (Question 9-12)W: Mike, this is Tass el Jones. About the shareholders’ meeting on the 24th, the Managing Director says there won’t be enough room in the bank’s institute.M: Mm, so what’s the alternative?W: We contacted the Commercial Hall. They can take us but they need the booking immediately. You’ve got all the details.M: Okay. Ah…What do you need to know?W: First, how much seating should we book?M: Well, there are 720 shareholders but only about half of them will turn up. So 380 chairs would be adequate.W: Mm. What sort of equipment should we ask for?M: There’ll be five members of the board on the platform. They’ll each need a microphone and we also need a couple of OHPs, a video won’t be necessary.W: Right. And what about photocopies? I can see to those. What do we need done?M: Oh the agenda, that’s essential. The shareholders have already received the annual report of course, but there were some mistakes in it. So we need to hand out amended figures of the meeting. I’ll let you have those to copy.W: Ok, I’ll get them done and make sure there’s staff available to hand them out. I’ll talk to you later.M: Fine. Bye.Listening Part TwoII. Questions 13-1713.W: I only went because several colleagues who’ve been there before said how great it was. To be honest, I usually get bored at these events. Instead of just listening to someone talking, I’d rather be doing something, but as everyone have recommended it,I had high hopes that it would be good and I wasn’t disappointed. I found the speakerreally entertaining. The thing was he couldn’t cover everything. They should’ve alloweda full day.14.M: I know you are supposed to pick up lots of new ideas at these seminars and I suppose it was useful. I did get a few ideas which is just as well because now I got to give a talk to start on the same topic. What I was actually hoping for though was to be able to make the most of the opportunity in other ways, too. As some of the other participants I networked with may well become major clients, I’ll definitel y go again.15.W: The seminar was held in a really small hotel, I did wonder how much my company was having to pay for me to attend. I hope they think it was worth sending me along. I tried to take lots of notes just in case my manager ask me to write a report about it afterwards. I must admit though I didn’t write much, because although the speaker was highly entertaining, I couldn’t exactly say I learnt anything new. Shame really.16.M: Well, what we covered was all really important stuff, some of which was mainly common sense. And I’ll certainly be trying out the ideas I picked up. The trouble was, I know the speaker was someone quite well-known, he’s even had a book in the best-seller list, but his style wasn’t exactly entertaining. I noticed there were a few other participants looked rather fed up too. I was just glad it was only a half-day event.17.W: I usually enjoy seminars, it’s a chance to get away from the office, and there’s the opportunity to share experiences. I know these events aren’t cheap, especially when the speaker’s somebody well-known. At this particular seminar I went to, the speaker was unknown, so I was unsure how good it would be. But I found it really useful. It gave me new ideas on selling techniques which I’ve already start ed using with some success. So I’d say it was well worth the fee.Listening 4参考答案1. database2. supplier3. howarth4. IT Coordinator5. (quality) design6. Europe7. advertising campaign 8. discounts9.
