听力原文

Section A
　　11. W: Wasn’t Carl supposed to give a speech tonight?
　　M: Yes, but he backed out at the last minute.
　　Q: What do we learn about Carl?
　　12. W: I spent $50 on this sofa. Do you think it was worth it?
　　M: Well, I think you’ve got a real bargain.
　　Q: What does the man think of the price?
　　13. W: I heard the fire broke out at two in the morning.
　　M: That’s right. And it took the firemen three hours to put it out.
　　Q: When was the fire put out?
　　14. M: Excuse me, I’d like to send a registration letter to Houston, Texas. How much is the postage?
　　W: Let me check. It’s a dollar and 55 cents.
　　Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
　　15. W: Jack, I expected to see you at Sam’s birthday party yesterday but you were absent.
　　M: I had a date with my girlfriend. I have been terribly busy these days. You know, she is complaining.
　　Q: What do we know about the man?
　　16. M: I’m fed up with the noisy environment here. I suppose we should rent a house with better environment, but I don’t see how we can afford it right now.
　　W: If only we hadn’t bought the second-hand car!
　　Q: What does the woman mean?
　　17. M: I think this film is really wonderful. Beautiful scene, impressing mustc and touching story. Everything is so great.
　　W: You can say that again.
　　Q: What does the woman mean?
　　18. W: Honey, I think we should go out and relax this weekend.
　　M: Yes, darling. But my boss asked me to work overtime over the weekend. You know, time is really pressing for US.
　　Q: What will the man do this weekend?
　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
　　Conversation One
　　M: Hello.
　　W: Hello, welcome to "Advice" radio prograrn . What’s your name?
　　M: Jim.
　　W: What’s your problem?
　　M: Er...well I’m er...beginning to lose my hair. Er, I went to the doctor, but he just said there was nothing I could do about it. He said it was probably hereditary. My father was bald by the time he was thirty.
　　W: And how old are you?
　　M: Me? I’m twenty-eight.
　　W: And are you losing a lot of hair then?
　　M: Well, it comes out a lot when I comb my hair and you can see a thin part on the top of my head.
　　W: Does that really worry you, Jim?
　　M: Well, I don’t like it. It’s old, you know. looks old. I don’t want to look like a middle-aged man at twenty-eight. And I wonder if there is some special shampoo I should use, and if you could tell me one that I should buy, something like that, you know, to stop it getting worse.
　　W: Well, you know, Jim, to be honest with you there’s not really a lot you can do about it, actually, I’m afraid. I mean, baldness is one of those things that, in my experience, you just have to try to accept. Some men fred it more difficult to accept baldness than others. There is one piece of advice, though, Jim, and that’s don’t try to comb your hair over the bald or thin patch. Whatever you do, don’t comb it over because that usually looks ridiculous. And the other thing that usually looks ridiculous is a man with a wig, that is, the false hairpiece. Don’t let anyone persuade you to buy one of those false hairpiece things, because they usually look much worse than a bald man. 1 actually think bald men can look very attractive. My husband is bald and I think it really suits him.
　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
　　19. What’s probably the reason for the man’s baldness?
　　20. What does the woman suggest to the man?
　　21. Where do you think this conversation takes place?
　　22. What does the woman think of her husband’s baldness?
　　Conversation Two
　　M: Good morning.
　　W: Good morning. How can I help you?
　　M: I understand that the school organizes...umm, trips to different..
　　W: Yes, we run five every month: three during weekends and two Wednesday afternoon trips.
　　M: What sort of places?
　　W: Well, obviously it varies, but always places of historical interest and also which offer a variety of shopping, because our students always ask about that...and then we go for ones where we know there are guided tours, because this gives a good focus for the visit.
　　M: Do you travel far?
　　W: Well, we’re lucky here, obviously, because we’re able to say that all our visits are less than three hours’ drive.
　　M: How much do they cost?
　　W: Again it varies--between five and fifteen pounds a head, depending on distance.
　　M: Ah ha...
　　W: Oh, and we do offer to arrange special trips if, you_ know, there_ are more than twelve people.
　　M: All fight. I’ll keep that in mind. And what are the times normally?
　　W: We try to keep it pretty fixed so that students get to know the pattern. We leave at eight-thirty a.m. and return at six p.m. We figure it’s best to keep the day fairly short.
　　M: Oh yes. And how do we reserve a place?
　　W: You sign_your name on the notice board. Do you know where it is?
　　M: Ah ha. I saw it this morning.
　　W: And we do ask that you sign up three days in advance so we know we’ve got enough people interested to run it, and we can cancel if necessary, with full refund of course.
　　M: That’s fine. Thanks.
　　Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
　　23. How often does the school organize the trips?
　　24. When will the school arrange special trips?
　　25. How to reserve a place for a trip?
