SECTION 2
GEOFFREY: Good evening, and in this weekf s edition of ‘Focus on the Artsf , Jane Hemmington is going to fill us in on what' s in store for us at this
yearf s Summer Festival. Over to you, Jane.
JANE: Thank you, Geoffrey. This year, the Summer Festival is the biggest we ve ever seen, so there should be something for everybody. This is the third year they’ ve run it and the timing s slightly different: for the last couple of years it' s been around the fifth to seventeenth, but this year they wanted to allow everyone enough time to recover from the first of January celebrations and they, ve put it (Q11) at the end of the month.
The programme has sensational theatre, dance and also a large number of art exhibitions, but the thing the Festival is most famous for is its great street music. For today, s report though, Geoffrey, I, m looking at some of the (Q12) theatrical events that you might like to see; in particular, at this year, s theme - circuses.
1,m going to tell you about two circus performances, but there are (Q13) plenty of others in the progralmme. I, ve chosen these because they represent distinct movements within circus performance. The first is the Circus Romanofrom Italy. As this is a travelling circus, it follows a long tradition by performing Q(4) in a marquee - which is really like a canvas portable building, usually put up in a green space or car park, rather than in a theatre or stadium.
In spite of this, Circus Romanoisn' t at all like the traditional circuses I grew up with. There are no animals - just very talented clowning and acrobatic routines. The show has a lot of very funny moments, especially at the beginning, but the best part is the music and Q15) lighting. They, re magical. Atforty-five dollars it, s very expensive anyway - it, s really for (Q16) adult tastes. In fact, much of it would be wasted on children - so I suggest you leave them at home.
The second circus performance is Circus Electricaat the (Q17) Studio Theatre. The purists are suggesting that this isn,t a circus at all. It,s a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than the usual ones you expect in a circus. With
only six performers it,s a small production, which suits the venue well - the Studio only seats about two hundred people. For my money fts the aerial displays which are outstanding as well as the magical tricks - features which are missing from Circus Romano. An interesting feature of the show is that the performers are so young - the youngest is only fourteen. But it’ s still well worth seeing: a good one for (Q18) the whole family.
And finally, as itf s summer, you may wish to see some of the Festival performances that are being presented outdoors. Like the famous MekongWater Puppet Troupe, performing in the (Q19) City Gardens this week. Now, water puppetry is amazing! Itf s large puppets on long sticks, controlled by puppeteers standing waist deep in the lake. The puppets do comedy routines and there is some terrific formation dancing. This is a fantastic show and the best moment comes at the end - seeing the puppeteers. When the troupe walks up out of the water, you get this amazing feeling. Itf s really hard to believe thatwhat yo'u ve been
watching is lifeless
wood and cloth. As an adult, I had a great time, but I did note that o ther older people in the audience weren t quite as taken with it as I was. Ift s a must for (Q20) young children though, and that’ s the audience itf s really aimed at.
Well, thatf s all If ve time for today, but f II be back next week with more news of whatfs worth seeing and what itfs best to miss.
SECTION 3
OFFICER: Hello. Er, I m Dawn Matthews.
STUDENT: Yes, hello. I' ve been referred to you because I m enquiring about the refresher courses that you run. Ifd like to find out a bit more about
them.
OFFICER: OK. Well, we run quite a few different short courses for students who
are either (Q21)returning to study or studying part-time. Um, tell me
about your situation.
STUDENT: Well, I think that I really need some help in preparing for the coming semester, especially to build up my confidence a bit and help me study
effectively because, you see, I’ ve been out in the work-force for
nearly twelve years now, so it really is a long time since I was last a
student.
OFFICER: Yes, it can seem like a long time, ca'n t it Um, well, let me start by telling you what courses we have that might suit you. Are you an
undergraduate or postgraduate Arts or Sciences
STUDENT: Undergraduate, and I'm in the Business faculty.
OFFICER: Right then. First of all, there s our intensive ‘Study for Success seminar on (Q22) the first and second of February. It, s aimed at
students like you who are uncertain about what to expect at college,
and looks at a fairly wide range of approaches to university learning,
to motivate you to begin your study and build on your own learning
strategies.
STUDENT: Mm, that sounds good. What are some of the strategies that are presented OFFICER: Well, we try to cover all aspects of study. Some of the strategies in writing, for example, would be improving your planning for writing, organising your thinking and buildingsome techniques to helpyou (Q23) write more clearly. With reading, there, ll be sessions aimed at getting into the habit of Q24) analysing material as you read it, and tips to help you record and remember what you have read. It really is very important to begin reading confidently right from the beginning.
STUDENT: Mm.
OFFICER: There, s also advice on how to get the most from your lectures and
practice in giving confident presentations, as well as how to prepare
for exams.
STUDENT: What about the motivational side of things
OFFICER: Ah. Well, there,s a range of motivational exercises that we do to help the students feel (Q25) positive and enthusiastic about their study.
The
process of learning and exploring a subject can lead to a whole new way
of looking at the world, and the study skills and techniques that you
build up can be applied in all sorts of different ways.
STUDENT: Actually, I"T’ m very excited about the whole thing of taking up studying again but, you know, I’ m a little nervous about whether I’ ll manage
to get everything done. I suppose it' s the same for all mature students OFFICER: Of course it is. Two of the key components of the course ar@2() time management and overcoming procrastination. People discover that, once
they learn to plan their days, all the work can be accomplished and
there’ll still be time for leisure.
STUDENT: Is there an enrolment fee
OFFICER: Well, er, oh, just a minute, let, s see . . . Ah, the cost is thirty pounds, which includes all course materials and morning tea. You have to
arrange your own lunch.
STUDENT: That wouldn’t be a problem. I already make sandwiches for my three kids and my wife and myself every day. I won’t have to change my routine. OFFICER: No. Now, I need to tell you that this is a very popular course and it’s essential that you (Q27) book well ahead of time. In fact, the Course
Convenor tells me that there are only five places left.
STUDENT: What other course might be good for me
O FFICER: There is one other that you could benefit from. It ’s simply called (Learning Skills for University Study, and is on (Q28) three
consecutive mornings starting on a Monday, from nine to twelve, and
costs twenty-five pounds. This is aimed at upgrading the study skills
most school-leavers have and help them cope with the increased demands
of university study. It focuses mainly on making students more
responsible for their own success.
STUDENT: What sort of things are covered in this course
OFFICER: Wel l, basically it’ s more advanced thinking, note-taking, reading and writing strategies, but also some input about Q29) stress management. STUDENT: I think I' d be better off (Q30) starting from the basics and looking at all the strategies, don, t you
OFFICER: Yes, from what you ve told me, I think that s more in line with your situation.
STUDENT: Alright then, um, can I book a place on the ‘Study for Success, seminar course now
OFFICER: Yes. Let me just get out a registration form and take down your details.
SECTION 4
We, re very grateful that the Committee has agreed that a representative for the Students, Union can present students suggestions about the design for the proposed new Union building. We appreciate that some of our ideas may not be feasible in the circumstances, but we do feel that it is important that the ultimate beneficiaries of the facilities should have some say in its design.
If I could start by briefly explaining what steps were taken to find out student opinion and how we have arrived at conclusions. Firstly, a meeting was held in the current Union for our SU Committee to explain the options. Then we
invited all students to submit written suggestions for the design, placing cards in a suggestion box. These suggestions then provided the basis for the design of a (Q31) questionnaire, which was completed by ( Q32) approximately two thousand of the College students over a period of three weeks. Finally, the SU Committee collated the results and drew up a report. If I can just hand around a copy of that report. This presentation is essentially a summary and discussion of the key points of this
report.
So, in broad terms, the consensus was as follows. Firstly, regarding the crucial matter of the site, we presented the three options that you have proposed. One: in the city centre, near the Faculty of Q33) Education; two: on the outskirts of the city, near the park, and three: out of town, near the (Q34) halls of residence. We asked students to cite reasons for and against these sites and, and there was remarkable agreement on all three. Site One was unpopular because of (Q35) traffic and parking problems. Site Two had a number of supporters, mainly because it was close to (Q36) most lecture rooms. And Site Three, out of town, near the halls of residence, was clearly the most popular because of access from living quarters. It was clear that the Union was mainly to be used after lectures. It was also felt that the large site would allow (Q37) more room for a choice of facilities.
Our second area of interest was obviously the facilities: there was minimal interest in having a library on the premises, but one option seemed to be a reading room instead - more useful. We would like the current table games room to be replaced with (Q38) a small gym And, if possible, a small swimming poo- not, of course, Olympic-sized! There was a large number of respondents in favour of a travel agent' s and insurance centre. We also request that there be the offices
of the Student Counselling Centre, moving this from the Refectory. There was, however, much disagreement about whether to build a drama theatre. Just over forty per cent of the respondents were in favour, but a largish minority were strongly against it, claiming that it is (Q39) elitist and a waste of funds. Essentially the jury is out on that.
Finally, given the number of unfortunate incidents in the current Union over the past few months, a strong point was repeatedly made about security. The recommendations would be at least Q40) video surveillance and security personnel
who would check Student Union cards on request. We doubt if it would be feasible in.
Well, this is the summary of the views of the student population. As I say,
fuller details are given in our report but ’ m happy to take any questions if you have them ...

JACK: Yes.OPERATOR: OK great, thank you for your patience. Now what is the nature of your complaint?JACK: I’m phoning to complain about a flight I took recently. I always take certain measures to ensure that I will be comfortable. For example, I always pay the additional cost for extra legroom and I always arrive punctually for the flight to make sure that I am seated beneath an air conditioner. Unfortunately I was disappointed to find that the air conditioning on the plane was broken, so I spent the entire flight in discomfort as it was too hot and the air was stuffy’.OPERATOR: I see. I do apologise for this fault with the air conditioning. Now while I have you on the phone, would you mind answering a short questionnaire regarding your recent flight?JACK: Sure.OPERATOR: OK, let’s get started. What did you think of the food that was served to you during the flight?JACK: I thought that it was inexpensive and quite delicious. However I was still very hungry afterwards as it was a very small portion and more of a snack. Providing a snack for lunch is not reasonable.OPERATOR: OK, I have noted that down. What was your opinion of the quality of service that you received from our staff on-board?JACK: The staff were very helpful, but each time I pressed the button to request service it took a long time for a staff member to arrive. I found this frustrating as there just weren’t enough staff on-board the flight to be able to serve all of the customers.OPERATOR: OK, that’s great. Thank you very much for answering those questions. Are there any other parts of your travel experience that you would like to comment on?JACK: Yep. The process of moving through security was very quick and helped to make my travel experience stress-free.OPERATOR: Okay. Do you have any extra comments on the services you received during the flight?JACK: Yes, I thought that the seats were very uncomfortable and looked very old. They were also in need of repair as the reclined feature on my chair was broken so I could not go to sleep for the whole flight. Luckily the entertainment facilities were very good so I was able to distract myself by watching movies.OPERATOR: Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of my questions, we would like

RENTER: Yes, that’s right. You said on the phone that I could come by at 2:00. Sorry, I’m a little early. AGENT: No problem at all. In Calgary’s market, you have to move fast if you want a good apartment! RENTER: Actually, I’d settle for almost anything. I’ve been here ten days and the hotel is ruining me. My father has me on a strict budget. AGENT: Sit right down here now, sir. Let’s talk a little about the places before we go have a look. Now, we have four apartments available. RENTER: OK, could you tell me more about these four apartments?AGENT: Sure. The first one is on Beatle Road, just a block off campus. It’s a 3-bedroom with a bathroom and a living room and a great Italian restaurant right next to it. RENTER: How much?AGENT: Well, it’s $435 a month including Internet and utilities.RENTER: Okay, that sounds reasonable. Any drawbacks to the house?AGENT: There’s a really big garden, but it hasn’t been taken care of over the years and is just too big to clean up nicely. RENTER: Hmm. That sounds okay; tell me about the next option.AGENT: The other 3-bedroom apartment is on Oakington Avenue on campus. It is right near the building where you have classes, and the kitchen and living room are newly furnished. RENTER: Wow, that sounds like a pretty good option. AGENT: Well it is a cool apartment, but since it’s a dormitory, the living room, bathroom, kitchen, and washing machine are all shared. It would be nice not to have to buy living room furniture, though. RENTER: And how much is this one?AGENT: $400 per month for a bedroom with an air conditioner. For a bedroom without an air conditioner, you would pay less, $340, for it.RENTER: Yikes, even with the air conditioner it sounds really inconvenient to have to share facilities. I’ll never cook if I have to walk down the hall to use the kitchen.AGENT: Yeah, that’s true.AGENT: Anyway, the next place is a 2-bedroom on Mead Street.RENTER: Oh, I like Mead Street - that’s off campus, right?AGENT: Yep. It’s pretty cool, but it has only 2 bedrooms, plus a living room and a study. RENTER: But I want to live together with my two friends.AGENT: So you could make the study into a small bedroom if you end up living with them. RENTER: Also, we guys will want a TV and DVD player since we’re all so much into movies. AGENT: Well, this place has a great TV and VCR, but no DVD player.RENTER: No DVD? That’s so weird. Are any other facilities provided?AGENT: As you said, weird enough, it also comes with a washbasin.RENTER: Is there a washing machine? I think we need that more than just a washbasin. AGENT: I’m afraid there’s no washing machine in the apartment.RENTER: Wow, that’s so old-fashioned! Maybe it’s not the best choice for three college guys. How much is it? AGENT: Well it’s $600 per month, but of course it would be cheaper if you made it into 3 bedrooms instead of 2. RENTER: Where is

So kind of like being a lifeguard at the world’s largest pool. EMPLOYER: Haha. I see.EMPLOYER: So could you tell me about the relevant skills you have? I’m guessing a lot, given your experience. APPLICANT: I am CPR certified and have 2 years of diving experience. EMPLOYER: Great! It sounds like you are well qualified for this position. When does your CPR certification expire? APPLICANT: Hm. I think in November, but let me quickly check my CPR card.. .actually, it expires in October. EMPLOYER: Okay, so regardless you have it through the end of the summer. When is your ideal time to work? APPLICANT: Since I work in the restaurant on weeknights, I like weekends best - specifically Saturday mornings. EMPLOYER: I see. We do already have a lot of staff available on Saturdays, but I do need an early morning shift lifeguard. How early could you work Saturday morning? APPLICANT: I can get there by 6.00 if need be. EMPLOYER: You’ll be happy to know we open a little later than that, but I’ll put you down for Saturday mornings here. APPLICANT: Oh awesome! I can’t wait to get started. EMPLOYER: How about you come in next Saturday, the 12th? APPLICANT: That sounds good. EMPLOYER: Great - we can figure out other shifts for you to work when you come in then. One last thing - just out of curiosity, where did you hear about us? APPLICANT: I heard your ad on the radio while I was driving this morning. EMPLOYER: You know, I think you’re the first person who has responded to our radio ads. It’s almost always

CUSTOMER: Hi, I have a group visit to plan, and I wonder whether you could help me decide on which hotel to book. I have narrowed it down to either the Winchester, the Royal Hotel, or the Star Hotel. I am wondering if you have a recommendation. AGENT: I would be happy to help! Those three are excellent choices. If everyone is booking hotel rooms independently, an easy way to do it is online booking. The Star Hotel offers online bookings at no additional charge. CUSTOMER: It sounds fine! AGENT: Yeah, and you can even book the gorgeous [1]sea view rooms if you act quickly. CUSTOMER: Hm, I will consider that. It would be great since we are mostly first-time visitors to the area to get a nice view of the water. Now, are there handicap accessible rooms? AGENT: [2]Yes, all three options have access for the physically disabled.CUSTOMER: Great. I should also mention that we will be on a tight schedule, so we won’t have much time to go out for meals. Which of these hotels serve food? AGENT: There is a limited continental breakfast menu at the Star and at the Winchester. [3]For a full restaurant and room service, the Royal Hotel is your best bet. CUSTOMER: Oh wonderful! Could you tell me more about the restaurant? AGENT: Absolutely. In the morning there is a gourmet buffet or a la carte item, and after 11 a.m. lunch is served in the dining room. [4]Dinners are in a nice, low-key but high quality setting in the hotel’s private dining room and Fridays feature the house jazz band. CUSTOMER: How lovely! Is there a group discount? AGENT: No, sorry. Not at the Royal hotel. Let me check on the others, though. Could I place you on hold for just a second? CUSTOMER: Sure, thanks. AGENT: [5]It looks like there is one at the Winchester - 15% off when you book 8 or more rooms. CUSTOMER: Really? Sold! We’ll book at the Winchester. Wait - is it suitable for children though? We’ll have a few little ones in our group, and it would be great to have a way to keep them occupied. AGENT: Yes. In fact, [6]it has a play place that kids just love, with slides, and swings and everything. Definitely a good hotel to bring the kids. CUSTOMER: Okay, great.CUSTOMER: So now I know where we’ll be staying, what next? Should I go ahead and book transportation and assign rooms and everything? AGENT: Well, for now, there are only a few things for you to take care of. We will hold a block of rooms for you as soon as you send a [7]deposit. I recommend booking as soon as possible, so you probably want to send the [8]invitations as soon as you know how many rooms to hold. CUSTOMER: Oh, right. Okay, I’ll send the invitations and put down the deposit. Is there anything else I should take care of? AGENT: Great! And don’t worry about this now, but sometime before you arrive do let us know if you’ll be requiring our [9]transport service to and from the airport. CUSTOMER: I’ll make sure to let you know. Does that incur a service charge? Or

雅思（听力）历年真题试卷汇编10(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. 听力原文：PETER: Hey Jim, it’s Peter.JIM: Oh hey Peter. What’s up?PETER: I thought I’d call so we could hammer out the details for next year’s lease. JIM: That’s a good idea. Did we ever decide on how to split the total rent? PETER: Well, I was thinking since my room is bigger I probably should pay a little more, so I could pay ￡110 and you could pay ￡80. Does that sound okay? JIM: Considering that my old apartment cost me ￡100 for a smaller room, I’m definitely alright with that! Hey, I was looking at a map of the area, and can’t seem to find a bus stop near it. Do you know where we would catch the bus? PETER: Well, the bus is actually pretty far from us, but we have that garage that we can park our cars in. JIM: Wow, that’s great! Convenient parking is hard to find, so we’re lucky we have that. Okay, so we have a whole lot of things we’ll need to buy when we move in - how do you want to split that up? PETER: I was wondering - do you still work at the supermarket? JIM: Yep, every Tuesday and Saturday.PETER: Would you be able to buy things from there if I send you a shopping list? JIM: Sure, I can do that.PETER: Great. Then I can take care of whatever else we need that you wouldn’t get at a supermarket. If you want, I’ll pick you up from work that day and we can go to the apartment together. JIM: That would be great, thanks.PETER: No problem - that way we can split the cost of petrol. JIM: Works for me. It’s so expensive these days, isn’t it?PETER: It’s downright obscene.JIM: So let’s figure out what appliances we need. Do we have a microwave?PETER: Yes, the landlord’s providing that for us. Hey, do you still have that space heater though? We need one for the kitchen since it’s not connected to the central heating. JIM: Oh, right, I’ll bring that. Anything else?PETER: Well, I have some dining room and living room furniture I can bring, so that should take care of most of the big stuff. You know what we do need though? Could you bring a toaster? JIM: I actually don’t have one. It doesn’t come with the microwave?PETER: No, the landlord is only supplying the microwave. It would really help if you could bring one. JIM: Okay, I’ll pick one up at the store. You know, I also have this cool antique rotary phone that would be a cool addition to the apartment. Sort of as decoration and utility. PETER: Oh cool! The only thing is, we’d have to put it in the kitchen, unless you want it in your room. JIM: Why not put it in the living room?PETER: The living room is too loud to have a phone conversation. The noise sort of carries, so if one person is trying to watch TV or have friends over the person on the phone won’t be able to hear. JIM: Hm, okay, well I guess kitchen it is then. Any other big things we need? That seems like everything. PETER: That’s all I can think of. And of course, move-in is -JIM: June 1st. I can’t wait. We’ll be able to watch the big game in our new apartment - it’s going to be awesome! PETER: Yeah, we can move in in the morning and then Friday night we can sit back and cheer on Liverpool. JIM: I have an exam in the morning, but will be done around 11 a.m. and can move in after. Wait...Liverpool?
