INTERVIEWER: Excuse me.
LUISA: Yes?
INTERVIEWER: I wonder if you could spare a few minutes to do a survey on transport. It won’t take long.
LUISA: No, that’s fine.
INTERVIEWER: Lovely. The survey is on behalf of the local council. They’d like to know about what transport you use any suggestions for improvement. Can I start by asking you how you travelled to town today?
LUISA: Sure. I came on the bus. 【Example】
INTERVIEWER: Great. Now can I get a few details about yourself?
LUISA: OK.
INTERVIEWER: What’s your name?
LUISA: It’s Luisa …
INTERVIEWER: Yes.
LUISA: Hardie. 【Q1】
INTERVIEWER: Can you spell that, please?
LUISA: Yes, it’s H-A-R-D-I-E.
INTERVIEWER: Great. Thanks. And can I have your address?
LUISA: It’s 19 【Q2】, White Stone Road.
INTERVIEWER: Oh, right. I know that area. It’s Bradfield, isn’t it?
LUISA: That’s right.
INTERVIEWER: Is the postcode GT7?
LUISA: It’s actually G-T-8, 2-L-C. 【Q3】
INTERVIEWER: Great. And could I ask what your job is? Are you a student?
LUISA: I’ve actually just finished my training. I’m a hairdresser. 【Q4】
INTERVIEWER: Oh, right. And one more question in this section. What is the reason for you coming into town today?
LUISA: Actually it’s not for shopping today, which would be my normal reason, but to see the dentist. 【Q5】
INTERVIEWER: Right. Thanks.
INTERVIEWER: Now in this last section I’d like you to give us some ideas about the facilities and arrangements in the city for getting to and from work, er, any suggestions you have for improvements.
LUISA: Well, something I’ve thought about for some time is that when I do walk and I’m doing a later shift, I think the lighting should be better. 【Q6】
INTERVIEWER: Yes, good point.
LUISA: And of course, I think it’s a real shame they’ve been cutting down on the number of footpaths. They should have more of those. Then people would walk more.
INTERVIEWER: Yes, right.
LUISA: And, I don’t think there are enough trains. That’s why I don’t use them – you have to wait so long. 【Q7】
INTERVIEWER: Thanks. And finally I’d like to ask your opinion on cycling. As you may know, there’s a drive in the city to get more people to cycle to work.
LUISA: Right.
INTERVIEWER: But we realise that there are things which the council, but also employers, might do to help encourage workers to cycle to work.
LUISA: Yep. Well, I have thought about it and where I work there are no safe places to leave your bikes. 【Q8】
INTERVIEWER: OK.
LUISA: And also, I’d have to cycle uphill and on a hot day I’d arrive at work pretty sweaty so I think I’d need a shower somewhere at work. 【Q9】
INTERVIEWER: Right.
LUISA: And I suppose the last thing is that I wouldn’t be all that confident about cycling on such busy roads. I think I’d like to see you offering training for that 【Q10】, you know. I’d feel a lot better about starting if that was the case.
INTERVIEWER: Well, that’s very helpful. Thank you very much for your time.
LUISA: No problem. Bye.
Complete the notes below.
Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
听前预测:定位词为Luisa ;提示词为Name,此处应填姓名中的姓。
题目解析:本题考查人名拼写,较简单,跟上录音中的拼读进行拼写即可。
听前预测:定位词为Address ;提示词为White Stone Rd,此处应填数字或数字+ 字母(门牌号)。
题目解析:本题考查地址中的数字,要分清nineteen 和ninety。
听前预测:定位词和提示词均为Postcode,此处应填邮政编码(数字和字母)。
题目解析:本题不难,跟上字母和数字的录音进行填写即可。
听前预测:定位词和提示词均为Occupation,此处应填职业名称。
题目解析:本题填职业名称,根据问题:“…could I ask what your job is?”和回答:“I’m a hairdresser.”即可得到答案hairdresser。
听前预测:定位词为Reason,visit ;提示词为go to the,此处应填名词。
题目解析:本题的定位词Reason 在原文中是原词,visit 的同义替换为coming。问题:“What is the reason for you coming into town today?”回答:“Actually it’s not for shopping today, which would be my normal reason, but to see the dentist.”因此本题答案填dentist 或dentist’s,与题干构成go to the dentist/dentist’s(看牙医)。
听前预测:定位词为Suggestions ;提示词为better,此处应填名词。
题目解析:当听完“any suggestions you have for improvements”后,接着便是受访者提出的一些suggestions,此处是第一个“the lighting should be better”,填lighting。
听前预测:定位词为footpaths ;提示词为frequent,此处应填名词。
题目解析:此题需借助题目中已给的footpaths 进行定位,当谈论完footpaths 时,很快便可听到“I don’t think there are enough trains. That’s why I don’t use them — you have to wait so long.”所以这里建议more frequent trains。
听前预测:定位词为cycling to work;提示词为having、parking places,此处应填名词或形容词。
题目解析:本题在原文中有很明显的定位句:“…might do to help encourage workers to cycle to work”。出题句“there are no safe places to leave your bikes”,所以为了鼓励人们骑车就得改善这一情况,故题目中所填词为safe。
听前预测:定位词为being able to ;提示词为a,此处应填名词(单数)。
题目解析:本题中的定位词being able to 在考点句中的同义替换词为need,原文表述“I think I’d need a shower somewhere at work.”故答案为shower。
听前预测:提示词为cycling,此处应填名词。
题目解析:本题的难点在于定位,题干中的opportunity 一词在录音中未出现;但录音中的the last thing 对本题而言是一个不错的定位点,出题句为“I wouldn’t be all that confident about cycling on such busy roads. I think I’d like to see you offering training for that.(在如此拥挤的道路上,我没有自信能骑自行车,希望你们能提供一些相关的训练。)”故答案为training。
