OFFICER: Good morning. What can I do for you?
LOUISE: I want to report a theft. I had some things stolen out of my bag yesterday.
OFFICER: I’m sorry to hear that. Right, so I’ll need to take a few details. Can I start with your name?
LOUISE: Louise Taylor. 【Example】
OFFICER: OK, thank you. And are you resident in the UK?
LOUISE: No, I’m actually Canadian 【Q1】. Though my mother was British.
OFFICER: And your date of birth?
LOUISE: December 14th, 1977.
OFFICER: So you’re just visiting this country?
LOUISE: That’s right. I come over most summers on business. I’m an interior designer and I come over to buy old furniture 【Q2】, antiques you know. There are some really lovely things around here, but you need to get out to the small towns. I’ve had a really good trip this year, until this happened.
OFFICER: OK. So you’ve been here quite a while?
LOUISE: Yes, I’m here for two months. I go back next week.
OFFICER: So may I ask where you’re staying now?
LOUISE: Well at present I’ve got a place at Park 【Q3】 Apartments, that’s on King Street. I was staying at the Riverside Apartments on the same street, but the apartment there was only available for six weeks so I had to find another one.
OFFICER: OK. And the apartment number?
LOUISE: Fifteen.
LOUISE: Right.
OFFICER: Now, I need to take some details of the theft. So you said you had some things stolen out of your bag?
LOUISE: That’s right.
OFFICER: And were you actually carrying the bag when the theft took place?
LOUISE: Yes, I really can’t understand it. I had my backpack on. And I went into a supermarket to buy a few things and when I opened it up my wallet wasn’t there.
OFFICER: And what did your wallet have in it?
LOUISE: Well, fortunately I don’t keep my credit cards in that wallet – I keep them with my passport in an inside compartment in my backpack. But there was quite a bit of cash there … about £250 【Q4】 sterling, I should think. I withdrew £300 from my account yesterday, but I did a bit of shopping, so I must have already spent about £50 of that.
OFFICER: OK.
LOUISE: At first I thought, oh I must have left the wallet back in the apartment, but then I realised my phone 【Q5】 had gone as well. It was only a week old, and that’s when I realised I’d been robbed. Anyway at least they didn’t take the keys to my rental car.
OFFICER: Yes. So you say the theft occurred yesterday?
LOUISE: Yes.
OFFICER: So that was September the tenth 【Q6】. And do you have any idea at all of where or when the things might possibly have been stolen?
LOUISE: Well at first I couldn’t believe it because the bag had been on my back ever since I left the apartment after lunch. It’s just a small backpack, but I generally use it when I’m travelling because it seems safer than a handbag. Anyway, I met up with a friend, and we spent a couple of hours in the museum 【Q7】. But I do remember that as we were leaving there, at about 4 o’clock, a group of young boys ran up to us, and they were really crowding round us, and they were asking us that time 【Q8】 it was, then all of a sudden they ran off.
OFFICER: Can you remember anything about them?
LOUISE: The one who did most of the talking was wearing a T-shirt with a picture of something … let’s see … a tiger.
OFFICER: Right. Any idea of how old he might have been?
LOUISE: Around twelve years old?
OFFICER: And can you remember anything else about his appearance?
LOUISE: Not much. He was quite thin …
OFFICER: Colour of hair?
LOUISE: I do remember that – he was blond 【Q9】. All the others were dark-haired.
OFFICER: And any details of the others?
LOUISE: Not really. They came and went so quickly.
OFFICER: Right. So what I’m going to do now is give you a crime reference number so you can contact your insurance company. So this is ten digits: 87954 82361 【Q10】.
LOUISE: Thank you. So should I …
Complete the form below.
Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
听前预测：定位词 nationality；词性：形容词。此处应填国籍。
题目解析：文中并没有直接问“你的国籍是什么？”，而是问“…are you resident in the UK?”，此时已经出现国家名称，要重点听对方的回答是否会提及自己的国籍。通过之后的回答“No, I’m actually Canadian…”即可确定答案。需要额外注意的是，Canadian 的首字母要大写。
听前预测：定位词 visit、business；提示词 antique；词性：名词。根据 Reason for visit 可知要填的是到这里来的目的。
题目解析：当听到警察问“…you’re just visiting this country?”的时候，就应该意识到之后的回答会提供答案。之后 Louise 说“I come over to buy old furniture…”，此处的 old 与 antique 同义，因此答案为 furniture。
听前预测：定位词 Apartments；提示词 address；词性：名词。通过题目可知要填的是目前所住的公寓名称。
题目解析：警察询问的“…where you’re staying now?”为此题的提示问题。由 Louise 回答的“…I’ve got a place at Park Apartments…”可定位答案为 Park。注意 Park 的首字母需要大写。
听前预测：定位词 wallet；提示词 £（pound）；词性：数字。此处应填被偷钱包中的现金数目。
题目解析：当听到“…there was quite a bit of cash there…about…”时可以定位此题，之后的 250 pound sterling 对应上题干的 £ 符号，因此答案为 250。此题要注意的是区分 “50”和“15”的读音，而且之后还会听到 300 这个数字，但是需要弄清楚的是，300 是 Louise 取出来的钱，而不是最后留在钱包里的钱数。
听前预测：定位词 stolen；词性：名词。此处应填被偷的另一件物品。
题目解析：通过题干可知，Louise 除了钱包被偷外，还有另一件物品也被偷了。当听到 “…but then I realised my phone had gone as well.”之后，应该意识到 phone 为 Louise 被偷的另一件物品，因此答案为 phone。
听前预测：定位词 Date；词性：名词。此处应填日期。
题目解析：此题难度较低，当听到警察问“So you say the theft occurred yesterday?”时， Louise 马上给了肯定回答，然后就听到警察说出了一个日期 September the tenth，即为答案。听力过程中可先简写日期，最后再补充完整。
听前预测：定位词 Location；提示词 4 pm；词性：名词。此处应填被偷的地点。
题目解析：由警察提问“…where or when the things might possibly have been stolen?”可知后面的回答会包含答案。之后 Louise 说“…we spent a couple of hours in the museum.”，可以确定它们是在博物馆外面被偷的，因此答案为 museum。
听前预测： 定位词 boys；提示词 asked for；词性：名词。此处应填嫌疑犯的相关细节。
题目解析：从题干可以定位出 Louise 是在男孩子们问他们问题时丢的东西。当听到 a group of young boys 时，就应该集中精神听后面的内容。Louise 说“they were asking us what time it was”，这里的 they 指代的就是前面出现的 boys，可知男孩子们是在问他们几点了，因此答案为 time。
听前预测：定位词 hair；提示词 he；词性：形容词。此处应填男孩的发色。
题目解析：由警察问“Colour of hair?”可知之后的回答中会有要填的正确答案。因此答案 为 blond。
听前预测：定位词 Crime reference number；词性：数词。此处应填警察提供的报案号码。
题目解析：此题较简单，警察直接提供了报案号码，根据所报数字填写答案即可。
