[00:06.49]第6天考點(diǎn)突破強(qiáng)化練習(xí)
[00:12.50]Exercise One
[00:14.69]Conversation One
[00:17.21]W: Hey Taxi! Ah great. Thanks for pulling over.
[00:23.44]M: Where to?
[00:24.64]W: Well, I’m going to the National Museum of Art, and...
[00:28.26]M: Sure. Hop in. No problem. Hang on!
[00:30.88]W: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there?
[00:35.26]M: Well, that all depends on the traffic,
[00:37.77]but it shouldn’t take more than twenty minutes for the average driver.
[00:41.60]And I’m not average. I have driving down to an art,
[00:46.52]so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than twelve minutes.
[00:51.66]W: Oh, by the way, do you know what time the museum closes?
[00:55.27]M: Well, I would guess around 6：00 o’clock.
[00:59.31]W: Uh, do you have the time?
[01:01.07]M: Yeah. It’s half past four.
[01:03.58]W: Oh, before I forget,
[01:05.23]can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price?
[01:10.80]M: Umm... Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic.
[01:16.92]It’s not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the ornaments there are very special,
[01:23.82]and the portions are larger than most places I’ve been to.
[01:26.55]W: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum?
[01:30.82]M: Well, you can catch the subway right outside the museum.
[01:34.64]There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times.
[01:40.01]And there are taxis too, but they don’t run by the museum that often.
[01:44.92]W: Okay. Thanks.
[01:47.11]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[01:52.35]19. Where is the woman going?
[02:11.50]20. How long will it take to get to her destination?
[02:32.95]21. Where is the woman going later downtown?
[02:52.48]Conversation Two
[02:55.66]W: Hello, Patrick, is that you?
[02:59.70]M: Yeah Jane, what can I do for you?
[03:02.00]W: I was calling about the apple tree that you were trimming yesterday.
[03:06.27]M: That was hard work!
[03:08.67]W: I’m sure it was. It true looked difficult.
[03:11.96]M: Yeah, I’m glad it’s finished. Hauling the branches to the front for garbage pick-up was no fun either.
[03:18.62]W: Well, I don’t think you’re quite finished yet,
[03:22.57]some of the larger branches fell over into my yard, and I think you should come and get them.
[03:27.92]M: Listen Jane, I don’t see why I should do that.
[03:31.43]You’ve eaten all the apples that fall in your yard and you’ve never complained about that before.
[03:37.44]W: Well, It’s easier to pick up apples than to drag tree branches all the way to the curb.
[03:42.80]My kids pick up the apples, and the branches are just too big for them to drag.
[03:48.16]M: Well, I guess you’ll just have to do it yourself，Jane.
[03:52.53]W: Patrick, I wish you would reconsider. We’ve always gotten along fairly well,
[03:57.46]but I think you’re out of line here.
[03:59.75] The branches are your responsibility.
[04:02.71]M: Sorry Jane, I disagree! You take the benefits of the apple tree,
[04:07.52]but refuse to deal with the bad side of it!
[04:10.58]Besides, it won’t take you any time to get the branches out front!
[04:15.51]W: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.
[04:20.86]M: Yeah? For what?! You’re taking those law classes too seriously!
[04:25.78]I’ve gotta go, I have to pick up my son.
[04:28.95]W: You’ll be hearing from me.
[04:30.59]M: Yeah, yeah. See you in court, Jane.
[04:33.66]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[04:40.03]22. What did the man do yesterday?
[04:59.18]23. What did the woman ask the man to do?
[05:20.04]24. What did the woman threaten to do?
[05:40.28]25. What was the man’s reaction to the woman’s threat?
[05:59.78]Exercise Two
[06:03.61]Conversation One
[06:05.80]M: Hi, Nancy. Could I borrow some money until payday?
[06:09.74]W: Uh, yeah, I guess. How are things going anyway?
[06:13.89]M: Well, not very well. I’ve used my credit cards to pay off a lot of things recently,
[06:20.57] but now, I can’t seem to pay the money off.
[06:22.64]W: Uh, do you have a budget? I mean, how do you keep track of your income and expenses?
[06:28.99]M: No, but I guess I should have some financial plans.
[06:33.14]W: Well, let me see if I can help you. How much money do you spend on your apartment?
[06:39.27]M: Uh, I pay ＄890 on rent for the studio apartment downtown. not including utilities and cable TV.
[06:48.13]But the place has an awesome view of the city.
[06:50.42]W: Uh, ＄890! Why are you paying so much for such a small place when you could find a cheaper
[06:59.39]one somewhere outside of the downtown area?
[07:01.91]M: Yeah, I guess.
[07:04.67]W: How much money do you spend on entertainment a month?
[07:08.07]M: Well, I spend a few dollars here and there on basketball and movie tickets,
[07:12.44]a concert or two, and ballroom dance lessons.
[07:15.94]W: Uh, exactly how much do you spend on all of these?
[07:20.31]M: Well, oh...about ＄400.
[07:23.70]W: No wonder you’re having money problems.
[07:26.22]You can’t just blow your money on things like that! And what about transportation?
[07:31.25]M: Oh, I commute to work everyday in my new sports car,
[07:35.62]but I got a great deal, and my monthly payments are only ＄450.
[07:39.78]W: Well, I think you’ve got to reduce your spending, or you’ll end up broke.
[07:46.34]I suggest you get rid of your credit cards, cut down on your entertainment expenses,
[07:51.49]and sell your car. Take public transportation from now on.
[07:55.53]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[08:03.00]19. What are the two speakers talking about?
[08:21.41]20. How would you describe the man’s apartment?
[08:41.78]21. What does the woman suggest the man do at the end of the conversation?
[09:02.67]Conversation Two
[09:07.12]W: Mr. Rick Segal is an expert in network management and software development.
[09:13.58]I know you’re planning to take a world tour.
[09:16.52]Can you tell me when you got the idea for this upcoming tour?
[09:20.47]M: Two years ago, I thought about going around to various places to see
[09:24.95]if all this technology and progress
[09:27.35]in North America had any effects on the rest of the world.
[09:29.98]W: You have criticized Silicon Valley, particularly its venture community for arrogance,
[09:35.56]for seemingly believing it is the center of the universe. Why is this?
[09:41.02]M: I have actually not criticized SV nor made a big deal about
[09:46.92]the Valley’s center of the universe attitudes.
[09:49.44] I have been trying to make the point that I believe there is life on other planets.
[09:54.15]W: Champions of Silicon Valley see it as the world’s best ecosystem for tech startups.
[09:59.61]In your view, is this still true?
[10:03.22]M: It is one of the best places because of the quality of schools,
[10:07.76]the number of successful people who hung around and seeded others to be successful, and other reasons.
[10:13.45]Again, I hope that other places can begin to build these required ecosystems,
[10:18.16]so we begin to see more centers of excellence springing up around the world.
[10:23.30]W: How has the connected world changed the opportunities for businessmen in remote locations?
[10:29.31]M: （24）In the old days, it was very hard to get a voice or have that voice heard.
[10:34.89]That is the single greatest barrier to entry. Today, a free blog, or a good service or idea,
[10:41.64]can get noticed and can take off.
[10:44.26]W: How do you see investment opportunities changing because of the connected world?
[10:49.41]M: （25）Companies have to think globally from the perspective of resources, customers, etc.
[10:55.42]This is important because with technology and a global infrastructure,
[10:59.85]making it big might mean making it big in the UK, New Zealand, and Canada.
[11:04.76]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[11:13.51]22. What is the purpose of the man’s world tour?
[11:34.20]23. Which of the following is true about Silicon Valley according to the man?
[11:55.59]24. What effect does the connected world bring to entrepreneurs in remote locations?
[12:19.00]25. What should companies do because of the connected world according to the man?
[12:42.00]Exercise Three
[12:45.70]Conversation One
[12:47.26]M: Where are you going, Catherine? Today is Saturday.
[12:50.87]W: Saturday isn’t a holiday for me anymore.
[12:53.93]I have to tutor for three hours every Saturday afternoon.
[12:57.86]M: That’s great. I wish I could find a par-time job to make a little pocket money.
[13:03.55]How did you find this job?
[13:05.63]W: I saw a “Tutor Wanted” notice stuck on a light pole near the bus stop.
[13:10.66]I phoned the number and I got the job. It’s not too hard to find a part-time job these days.
[13:16.79]But Richard, studying should always come first.
[13:20.94] Do you think that you have enough time to handle a part-time job?
[13:24.22]M: It’s hard to say. If I can get a job, I will try very hard to make good use of my time.
[13:30.36]W: We do spend too much time hanging around and doing nothing. Richard, your English is perfect.
[13:37.24]Why don’t you find a job teaching English?
[13:40.85]M: But I don’t have any teaching experience. Speaking and teaching are two different things.
[13:45.55]W: I don’t have any experience either. We’re just students.
[13:50.25]People know this. But we are young and energetic,
[13:53.86]and the most important thing is that we don’t ask for as much pay as professional teachers do.
[13:59.96]M: OK! Where should I start?
[14:02.37]W: You can post some notices on the community bulletin board and some other places.
[14:06.75]But remember: don’t post them on the wire poles because you’ll probably be fined for it.
[14:13.20]M: Thank you for your advice, Catherine.
[14:15.08]W: My pleasure. Good luck.
[14:17.04]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[14:23.39]19. What does the woman do on Saturday afternoons?
[14:43.14]20. How did the woman find the part-time job?
[15:04.28]21. What does the woman suggest the man do when starting to find a job?
[15:25.42]Conversation Two
[15:28.37]M: Hello and welcome to today’s show, “Shirley’s Garden”.
[15:32.42]Today, we’ll be interviewing Shirley on her amazing techniques at growing a garden.
[15:37.13]Thank you for being here, Shirley.
[15:39.75]W: You’re welcome.
[15:40.84]M: Shirley, you truly have an amazing garden. Can you tell us how you learned about gardening?
[15:46.86]W: Well, this spring I took a gardening class. Then I decided to try some of the things I had learned.
[15:53.86]So I have tried various attempts at gardening and with different degrees of success.
[15:59.11]M: From the pictures of your garden, I’ve seen all kinds of different vegetables, including cucumbers,
[16:05.45]tomatoes, strawberries, carrots and so on.
[16:10.70]Could you let us know how you put these plants together in your garden?
[16:13.98]W: Well, one of the most important things in gardening is that you choose a good location.
[16:20.76]You need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunshine.
[16:24.70]Um, you also need to choose a location that has good drainage,
[16:31.70]and it should be a convenient location. After choosing a good location,
[16:36.95]I just decided what I wanted to plant, and based on what the final plant would look like,
[16:42.96]I divided the whole garden into different parts.
[16:45.70]M: Shirley, I’ve noticed some vertical beams in your garden. I’m truly amazed by them.
[16:51.38]Could you explain that to us a little bit?
[16:54.77]W: Well, take cucumbers for instance. Cucumbers take a lot of space when you grow them out on the ground,
[17:02.87]but I don’t have that much space. So I just grow them up. Just grow them vertically.
[17:10.42]I just used a metal frame and some strings to allow them to grow up, and they will support themselves.
[17:17.86]M: Well, Shirley, this is truly amazing. Thank you very much for being with us today.
[17:23.76]W: My pleasure.
[17:25.62]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[17:30.54]22. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?
[17:49.69]23. How did Shirley learn about gardening?
[18:10.30]24. Which of the following is important to grow a nice garden?
[18:30.93]25. What is the main purpose of using vertical beams according to Shirley?
