WOMAN: Good evening. King’s Restaurant. 【Example】
MAN: Good evening. I’m ringing about the job I understand you have vacant.
WOMAN: Oh yes.
MAN: I’d like to find out a few more details, if I may.
WOMAN: Yes, of course. Can I take your name?
MAN: It’s Peter Chin.
WOMAN: Okay Peter. Well, if you want to ask about the job and then if we’re both still interested, we could arrange for you to come for an interview.
MAN: Great, thanks. I’m afraid I missed the advert for the job but heard about it from a friend.
WOMAN: That’s no problem at all. What would you like to know?
MAN: Well, um, what sort of work is it – washing up?
WOMAN: It’s answering the phone.【Q1】
MAN: Oh right, fine.
WOMAN: And not waiting at table.
MAN: That’d be good. And how many nights a week would it be?
WOMAN: Well, we’re really only busy at the weekend.
MAN: So two nights?
WOMAN: Three actually, so it would work out at twelve hours a week.
MAN: That’d be fine. It wouldn’t interfere with my studies.
WOMAN: Are you at the university?
MAN: Yes. First year Physics student.
WOMAN: Oh, right.
MAN: Um, and because I’m not an EU national would I need a work permit?
WOMAN: Yes you would. Just get your tutor to sign it.
MAN: That wouldn’t be a problem, if I were to get the job. Um, where exactly is the restaurant?
WOMAN: Well, we have two branches – the one we’re recruiting for is in Hillsdunne Road.【Q2】
MAN: I don’t know that. How do you spell it please?
WOMAN: It’s H-I-double L-S-D-U-double N-E Road.
MAN: Got that. Thanks. Is it near a bus stop?
WOMAN: Yes. The nearest one would probably be just beside the Library. 【Q3】
MAN: Oh yes, I know it. That’d be fine for me. And could I ask about the pay?
WOMAN: We’re offering £4.45 an hour.【Q4】
MAN: That’s very good. My last job was £3.95 an hour.
WOMAN: We feel it’s pretty good and we also offer some good fringe benefits.
MAN: Really?
WOMAN: Well, we give you a free dinner, so you eat well.
MAN: Right, better than hostel food!
WOMAN: We certainly hope so! And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays.【Q5】
MAN: Oh, that’s a really good perk, isn’t it?
WOMAN: Yes, we think so. And then because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you’re working after 11 o’clock we drive you home.【Q6】
MAN: Oh, that’s good to know.
WOMAN: Well, we’d certainly be interested in inviting you for an interview, if you’re still interested?
MAN: Oh yes, certainly. Could I just also ask what qualities you’re looking for?
WOMAN: Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice,【Q7】 which you obviously do have!
MAN: Thanks.
WOMAN: And you must be able to think quickly,【Q8】 you know.
MAN: Well, I hope I’d …
WOMAN: So, when could you come in for an interview? We’re actually quite quiet tonight?
MAN: Sorry, I couldn’t come tonight. Or tomorrow, I’m afraid. Thursday’s okay – that’d be 22 of October.【Q9】
WOMAN: Fine, after 5 p.m.?
MAN: Yes, fine. Would 6 o’clock be okay?
WOMAN: Perfect. And could you bring along the names of two referees?
MAN: Yes, that’s fine, no problem.
WOMAN: Good. I look forward to seeing you.
MAN: Oh, by the way, who should I ask for?
WOMAN: Oh yes, of course, sorry. My name is Samira Manuja.【Q10】
MAN: Can you spell that, please?
WOMAN: M-A-N-U-J-A.
MAN: Okay, I’ve got that. Thanks very much.
WOMAN: Look forward to seeing you …
Complete the notes below.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
听前预测:定位词为type of work,此处应填名词(工作类型)。
题目解析:本题难度不大,但要注意题干中的type of work,意为“工作的类型”,并注意区别 occupation(职位)。另外,可关注同义替换kind of work 或sort of work。提问:…what sort of work is it — washing up?(这是一份什么类型的工作,洗餐具的吗?),回答:It’s answering the phone(接电话的)。所以本题答案为answering the phone。
听前预测:定位词为work permit ;提示词为branch,此处应填名词或形容词。
题目解析:本题不难,跟上字母拼写即可,要注意double l 和double n 的连读,首字母需大写。
听前预测:定位词为Nearest bus stop ;提示词为next to,此处应填名词。
题目解析:本题难度不大,首先要听定位词,等nearest 再次出现时需要注意了,提示词在随后的对话中被替换为beside,其后紧跟的library 即为答案。
听前预测:定位词为pay ;提示词为£,此处应填数字(钱)。
题目解析:本题考查对数字的反应能力,特别注意小数在表示钱的数字中的读法,此处读为 four pounds forty five。
听前预测:定位词为extra pay ;提示词为on,此处应填名词。
题目解析:本题难度不大,文中表述…we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays 与题干基本保持一致,只是需要特别注意holidays 应为复数。
听前预测:定位词为transport ;提示词为when,此处应填入时间。
题目解析:本题难度不大,原句为…if you’re working after 11 o’clock we drive you home。注意答案不能省略after。
听前预测:定位词为qualities ;提示词为ability,所填内容与ability 为并列关系,则此处应填名词。 题目解析:本题很容易定位,答案也不难听到,提问:Could I just also ask what qualities you’re looking for?(我能问问您招收的员工需要具备哪些资质吗?),回答:Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice…(就这项工作而言,需要嗓音清晰……),故答案为clear voice。
听前预测:定位词为ability ;提示词为to,此处应填动词或动词短语。
题目解析:跟上对话节奏,文中说…you must be able to think quickly…,此处题干中ability 是原文中be able to 的替换,故think quickly 为本题答案。
听前预测:定位词为interview ;提示词为Thursday 和at 6 p.m.,根据提示词可判断此处应填具 体日期。
题目解析:本题难度不大,听到interview 后,注意Thursday 后出现的日期为22nd of Octo-ber,特别注意日期上,英式和美式的写法、读法都有所不同。
听前预测:定位词和提示词为Samira,此处应填姓氏。
题目解析:跟上录音中的字母拼写即可,注意首字母大写。
