2013年12月英語四級聽力真題長對話原文及答案
【四級聽力長對話原文1】
M: Excuse me, I need some information about some of the towns near here.
W: What would you like to know?
M: Well, first, I'd like directions to go to Norwalk. I believe there is an interesting museum there. It isn't far, is it?
W: No, not at all. Norwalk is about eighteen miles east of here on Route 7. And you're right. It's a wonderful little museum.
M: Oh good. Now what about Amitsville? I have some friends. I'd like to visit there and I also want to get to Newton. They are near each other, aren't they?
W: Hmm... well, they are actually in opposite directions. Amitsville is northeast. It's about thirty five miles northeast of here.
M: Huh-uh, thirty five miles northeast. And how about Newton?
W: Well, Newton is in the other direction. It's southwest, so it isn't really very close to Amitsville at all and it's a long drive. It's about fifty five miles southwest from here and the road is not at all straight.
M: Fifty five miles southwest! Well, maybe I won't go there this time.
W: I'd recommend visiting Westfield or Great Town. They are both very close. Westfield is just seven miles west of here and Great Town is about five miles south. They are really pretty little towns with lots of old houses and beautiful tree-lined streets.
M: I see. Seven miles west to Westfield and five miles south to Great Town. Good. Well, I think that's all the information I need for a while. Thank you. You've been very helpful.
W: You're welcome, sir. I hope you enjoy your stay.
Q9: What does the man know about Norwalk?
Q10: What does the woman say about Amitsville and Newton?
Q11: What do we learn about Westfield and Great Town?
【答案】
9. B) It has an interesting museum.
10. A) They are in opposite directions.
11. C) They have lots of old houses.
【點評】
該對話屬於比較常見“問路”話題。因此考生在考試中聽到開頭一兩句之後可以在草稿紙上畫一個東西南北的方位箭頭圖,中心點是男士所在的地方。這樣聽到後面介紹其它景點時,可以立刻在相應方位把地名縮寫和距離數字很快記下。避免聽到很多不同地名和數字時候頭腦一片混亂。
三個問題都是考查事實細節。但沒有考查Norwalk,Amitsville and Newton,Westfield and Great Town這幾個地方的具體距離及位置,因此題目比較容易。因此該話題備考一方面有意識記下數字和方位以防萬一考查具體點,另一方面要注意理解對話的中出現的一些中心句。如“…they are actually in opposite directions.”
【長對話2原文】
M: Err... Sandra, I've finished with Mr. Gartner now. Do you think you could pop through in bringing me up-to-date on their arrangements for the Italian trip?
W: Certainly, Mr. Wilkinson. I'll bring everything with me.
M: Right, take a seat. Now my first meeting is when?
W: Your first meeting is on Monday the 21st at 9a.m. with Dr. Gucci of Bancos en Piedra in Milan.
M: OK, so can I fly out early Monday morning?
W: Well, there is a flight to Lenarty Airport which leaves at six thirty London time and gets in at eight thirty Italian time.
M: Yeah, but that only leaves me thirty minutes to clear customs in getting to the city center and it means I have to check in by five thirty, which means leaving home at about four fifteen.
W: I'm afraid so.
M: Hmm... not so keen on that. What's the program for the rest of that day?
W: It's quite full, I'm afraid. At eleven, you're seeing Gianni Riva at Megastar and then you'll have a lunch engagement with Gavin from the Chamber of Commerce at one.
M: Where's that?
W: You're meeting him at his office and then he's taking you somewhere.
M: Good, that sounds fine. What about the afternoon?
W: Well, at three thirty, you're seeing our sales representative there and then you're free till evening.
M: I see. I seem to remember that I'm having a dinner with someone from Bergamo.
W: That's right. And Mr. Betty from SAP Industries at eight.
Q12: What would the man like the woman to do?
Q13: At what time is Mr. Wilkinson going to leave home for the airport?
Q14: Who is Mr. Wilkinson going to have a lunch with on Monday?
Q15: What is most probably the woman's job?
【答案】
12. B) Inform him of the arrangements for his trip in Italy.
13. D) About 4:15.
14. D) Gavin from the Chamber of Commerce.
15. C) Secretary.
【點評】
該對話屬於商務場合老闆與祕書間有關“日程安排”常見的對話。抓住這一主題,第一題和第四題的'答案就顯而易見了。同時對於對話中何時何地與何人的相關日程要多加留意,第三題和第四題分別考查了時間和人物的細節題。因此預測可能出現較多時間和人物的話題,注意可以隨手簡單記一下。對於人名拼寫不要糾結,首字母縮寫自己能辨認即可。
