KAEDEN: Hello Charlotte. I'm Kaeden, one of the supervisors. Welcome to the team. CHARLOTTE: Hi Aiden. KAEDEN: It's Kaeden. CHARLOTTE: I'm so sorry. KAEDEN: Don't worry. People often get my name wrong; they never know how to spell it. It's K-A-E-D-E-N, in case you ever need to write it. CHARLOTTE: I'll try and remember. KAEDEN: So, there are a few practical things you need to sort out this morning. Then I'll show you what you're going to do today. CHARLOTTE: The email I received said to go to the front desk, to show my letter of appointment and pick up my badge. KAEDEN: You'll need that for the staffroom and other areas of the supermarket where shoppers aren't allowed. So, after you've finished at the front desk, I'll take you to the staffroom. Put your coat and rucksack in one of the lockers there. Take whichever one is free. CHARLOTTE: Will I have a key? KAEDEN: Yes. Try not to lose it. At the end of the day, leave it in the door for the next person to use. CHARLOTTE: Will do. KAEDEN: You also need to go to the HR department to see Tiffany, She's really helpful. CHARLOTTE: I was told to bring my passport with me. HR need to take a note of the number in it. KAEDEN: That's right. Or you can show your ID card. CHARLOTTE: I don't have one of those. KAEDEN: OK. Tiffany will give you a uniform. They have lots in different sizes, so you just tell her what you need, I won't come with you to HR - I've got to go and sort something else out. Problem with a bread slicer. CHARLOTTE: Is the HR office near the staffroom? KAEDEN: The staffroom's on the first floor and HR are a couple of floors above that, on the third floor. There's a staircase outside the staffroom. CHARLOTTE: OK. KAEDEN: When you've finished with HR, come and find me in the bakery section of the shop. CHARLOTTE: I'm looking forward to getting started. KAEDEN: I'll just give you my phone number, in case you can't find me. Have you got your phone there? CHARLOTTE: Yes. . . OK, ready. KAEDEN: It's oh-four-one-two double-six-five nine-oh-three. CHARLOTTE: OK, done. KAEDEN: So, Charlotte, your tasks today are in the bakery section, on the sushi counter, and on the meat and fish counters. The first job is to check sell-by dates on the bread and cakes. If any of the dales are today's, put a new price label on the packaging. CHARLOTTE: What if any of the labels are yesterday's dates, or older? Do I throw those items away? KAEDEN: Yes, but that shouldn't happen - we check the stock every day. When something needs a new price label, put a yellow one on the package, next to the original price. CHARLOTTE: OK. KAEDEN: After that, you'll go to the sushi takeaway counter. CHARLOTTE: Will I be preparing boxes of food? KAEDEN: For today, you'll just be helping the staff. CHARLOTTE: Yes, of course. KAEDEN: You'll see lots of flat cardboard boxes at one end of the counter. Beneath those is where we keep the plastic boxes - we run out of those really quickly, so you should bring more from the storeroom. CHARLOTTE: Is that my only task on the sushi counter? KAEDEN: No. You also need to clean the area where they prepare the dishes. There are cloths and bottles of spray by the sink. Oh, and please make sure you clean that too. CHARLOTTE: Sure. That's important, isn't it? KAEDEN: Absolutely. But you mustn't wash up knives. You have to do some training before you're allowed to touch sharp objects. CHARLOTTE: What should I do if there are any? KAEDEN: Ask someone to put them in the dishwasher. CHARLOTTE: OK, thanks. I don't want to get anything wrong. KAEDEN: Don't worry, You'll be fine. And I'll be around to help. CHARLOTTE: Right. KAEDEN: Finally, the meat and fish counters. You need to clean the area where staff serve customers, including wiping the weighing scales. CHARLOTTE: OK. Anything else? KAEDEN: The fish is laid on ice, but when that starts to melt, you'll need to get more from the cold-room. CHARLOTTE: | know the staff on the food counters wear a hat. Will that be the same for me? KAEDEN: You won't be serving customers directly, so no. But make sure you put on thermal gloves when you take anything out of the cold-room. The temperature's low enough in there to get frostbite from touching things. CHARLOTTE: Understood.
Complete the notes below.
Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
听前预测: 定位词为 supervisor;提示词为 Name,此处应填人名。
题目解析: 本题难度不大。开篇第 1 句男生说自己是 Kaeden,并且是一位 supervisor,定位到该题,接着再次纠正自己的名字是 Kaeden,随后报出拼写“K-A-E-D-E-N”,考生跟上音频记录即可,该题考查单词拼写,难度不大。
听前预测: 定位词为 coat、bag;提示词为 use、staffroom,此处应填名词。
题目解析: 上一题结束后,原文中先后听到 front desk,然后听到题干信息 staffroom,提示定位到该题,准备抓取。接着原文提到 Put your coat and rucksack in one of the lockers there,题干定位词 coat 原词出现,rucksack 对应题干信息 bag,根据题干要求,本题答案为一个能放置 coat 和 rucksack 的地方,判断该句中的 lockers符合搭配,为该题正确答案。
听前预测: 定位词为 Tiffany、HR;提示词为 give、number,此处应填名词。
题目解析: 该题定位词 HR 和 Tiffany 先后原词出现,接着女生提到 I was told to bring my passport with me,其中 passport 符合题干搭配,先记录。随后女生继续提到 HR need to take a note of the number in it,题干信息 number 出现,男生回答 That’s right,因此确认 passport 为该题正确答案。此题还需要注意排除干扰,男生随后还提到了 ID card,但被女生否定了 I don’t have one of those。
听前预测: 提示词为 collect,此处应填名词。
题目解析: 本题定位信息较弱,且与上一题连接较近,容易漏听。上一题结束后,男生随即提出 Tiffany will give you a uniform,考生需要及时判断 uniform 符合该题干搭配,表示去取工作服,先记录单词,继续往后听,发现没有其他符合题干搭配的词出现,因此确认 uniform 为该题正确答案。该题要求考生有敏锐的抓词意识,如果过于依赖题干 collect 这一单词,会导致漏听答案词。
听前预测: 定位词为 HR office;提示词为 on、floor,此处应填楼层,为序数词。
题目解析: 定位词 HR office 由女生原词提及 Is the HR office near the staffroom,男生先回答 The staffroom’s on the first floor,注意排除干扰信息 first,此为 staffroom 的楼层。接着男生提到 HR are a couple of floors above that, on the third floor,听到third 符合题干要求,记录即可,本题难度不大。
听前预测: 定位词和提示词均为 Supervisor’s、mobile number,此处应填电话号码。
题目解析: 本题难度不大。听到男生提到 I’ll just give you my phone number,随后跟着记录即可。注意其中的 double 表示两个相同的数字,三个相同的数字用 triple 表达。本题为数字考点中的 10 位数字串,如果对长串数字反应不够敏感的学生,务必课后进行专项训练。
