　　Part III Listening Comprehension

　　Section A

　　Conversation 1

　　W：Good evening, and welcome to this week’s business world. The program for and about business people. Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?

　　M: Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I’ll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn’t let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want。

　　W:You mean you don’t keep regular hours?

　　M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early。

　　W: Had you hired any employees to work with you yet?

　　M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It’s great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers.

　　W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business。

　　Q19.what is the woman doing?

　　Q20.What did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop?

　　Q21.Why did the man take over a bicycle shop?

　　Q22.What do we learn about the people working in the shop?

　　答案：

　　19. D

　　20. A

　　21. B

　　22. A

　　Conversation 2

　　W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think。

　　M: Yes, but I’m not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that?

　　W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it’s still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine tools are from the Basque country. As for paper processing, there’s still a little. But it’s no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?

　　M: Yes, thanks。

　　W: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there’s a lot of unemployment as well as geographical problems in the region。

　　M: Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?

　　W: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and better roads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we’ll see this in more detail, so we’ll come back to this question, OK?

　　M: OK, right。

　　W: So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and the level of training and education. In general, it’s very good and improving。

　　Question 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard。

　　23. What does the woman say about the steel-related manufacturing in the region?

　　24. What problems hinder the region’s development?

　　25. What will the speakers discuss later?

　　答案：

　　23. B

　　24. C

　　25. C

　　Section A

　　聽力長對話1

　　點評：第一篇長對話是一期訪談節(jié)目，主題是對一位自主創(chuàng)業(yè)人士的一次訪談，難度一般，要拿滿分應(yīng)該不難。主持人問及男士是如何想到要自己創(chuàng)業(yè)的，自己的自行車行是否有固定營業(yè)時間，以及是否雇傭了一些員工。男士則順著主持人的問話，談及了自己的創(chuàng)業(yè)歷程，店里的營業(yè)時間與方式等。考生在聽的過程中，需要理解這些短語的意思，如have one’s heart on it，意思是“決心，一定要”，stand in the way，意思是“阻礙，擋道”。一般四級考生，這些短語在平常的學(xué)習(xí)中應(yīng)該是有所積累的，不是難題。

　　聽力長對話2

　　點評：這篇長對話圍繞該地區(qū)的主要經(jīng)濟(jì)活動鋼鐵和紙張加工產(chǎn)業(yè)展開。男士對該地區(qū)這兩大產(chǎn)業(yè)的現(xiàn)狀不是很熟悉，所以女士為其做解答，介紹了鋼鐵產(chǎn)業(yè)在這一地區(qū)所占的重要地位，以及阻礙這一地區(qū)發(fā)展的主要因素，如地處山區(qū)，內(nèi)地的小城鎮(zhèn)依然交通不便。接著，二人則轉(zhuǎn)向了下一個話題，即該地區(qū)的勞動力和培訓(xùn)與教育水平。女士這里簡單地進(jìn)行了一個概括，認(rèn)為整體情況不錯并且在不斷進(jìn)步。

　　這篇長對話難度適中，考生可以先瀏覽一遍問題，推測出主題，然后帶著問題去聽，這樣做起來就容易多了。這里有一個生單詞，可能考生在聽的時候會被這樣一個單詞難倒，Basque country，是指“法國西南端，西班牙北部地區(qū)”。不過這個表達(dá)不影響做題，考生即使沒聽懂，也不要在這里糾結(jié)，因為瀏覽過題目就知道，這個不是考察點，所以要繼續(xù)集中精力往下聽。這也是聽力的一個技巧，帶著問題去聽，只抓主要信息以及與問題相關(guān)的信息，不重要的疑難點要及時忽略。
