PART TWO

听力原文：Man: Yesterday I bought this T-shirt in your shop. But it was too small for my son and my son wanted a blue one. So I want to change this white one for that blue one priced at twelve thirty-four. This white one is ten forty-nine. How much more will I have to pay you?

13． ? You will hear five short recordings. ? For each recording, decide how much is the total amount the speaker is talking about. ? Write one letter (A-H) next to the number of the recording. ? Do not use any letter more than once. ? After you have listened once, replay the recordings. Amounts A．51 pounds

B．17 pounds C．2.16 pounds D．1.85 pounds E．16 pounds F．1.36 pounds G．2.42 pounds H．1.35 pounds

正确答案：D

解析：这一部分的材料都是关于衣服价格的，在听音中要留心不同的数字，尤其是数字的计量单位，及其之间的转换。这段听力原文中出现的换T-shirt，之前那件是10.49镑，现在想换这件是12.34镑，还需要补足1.85镑。故选D。

听力原文：Woman: I tried this pair of shoes and I think I like this colour and style. Please pack them. By the way, I notice that all the goods in your shop are at 20% discount. And this price tag says 20 pounds a pair. So how much will I have to pay?

14．

正确答案：E

解析：这段听力原文中出现了物品折扣，原价 20镑，现在20%discount，也就是打八折，需要在原来价格的基础上乘以80%，故得出16镑。故选E。

听力原文：Man: My wife, my children and I are going to visit Edinburgh for 3 days. We need a small room and a large room with a double bed. If a small room is 5 pounds a day and a large one is 12 pounds a day, how much will we pay for our stay?

15．

正确答案：A

解析：这段听力原文中出现，顾客需要一间双人房，以及一间小房，一共住三天。双人房12镑一天，小房5镑一天，可得(12+5)×3= 51镑。故选A。

听力原文：Woman: This novel costs two ninety-nine. This book is one pound forty-two. And that pocket dictionary is priced at fourteen twenty-four. You gave me two ten pounds. Let’s look at the calculator and find out how much change I’ll give you.

16．

正确答案：H

解析：根据听力材料可得以下算式：20- (2.99+1.42+14.24)=1.35。故选H。

听力原文：Man. One letter will be sixteen pence, so for three letters that’s forty-eight pence. And the five postcards at twenty-four pence, that’s 1.20 pounds. And the two airmail letters at twenty-four pence, that’s forty-eight pence. Let’s see what the total comes to.

17．

正确答案：C

解析：根据听力材料可得以下算式：0.48+ 1.20+0.48=2.16镑，答案为C。此题需要注意pence和pound的换算，以及在听力材料中多次出现误导信息，也就是原文中物品的单价其实是误导听音者的信息。故选C。

听力原文：Man: I just wanted to say well done for getting that contract. You did a great job and we know it wasn’t easy. What would you say to a celebratory meal? I know a very good restaurant near here. I’m sure we could get a table for lunch if you’re free.

18． ? You will hear another five recordings. ? For each recording, decide the reason for the telephone call. ? Write one letter (A-H) next to the number of the recording. ? Do not use any letter more than once. ? After you have listened once, replay the recordings. Speakers A．book a table

B．cancel a meeting C．place an order

D．sell something E．offer a lift F．congratulate someone G．check an address H．make an appointment

正确答案：F

解析：听力原文一开始就在赞扬某人工作出色，完成了一个很好的合同，因此提出奖励，出去吃饭。由此可以推断出来为祝贺某人。故选F。

听力原文：Woman: Are you going to Head Office on Monday? If you are, do you want to go with me? I could pick you up about 8 and we’d be there by 10 if there wasn’t too much traffic. What do you say?

19．

正确答案：E

解析：听力原文的叙述者一开始问对方是否周一到Head Office去，如果同去，愿意去接对方一同前往，由此可以推断说话人是在提供顺风车便利。故选E。

听力原文：Man: Could you do me a favor? I’m supposed to be seeing the boss this afternoon but something’s come up. Actually, I’m going out to dinner. Could you make some sort of sensible excuse and say I’ll catch up with him on Monday?

20．

正确答案：B 解析：听力原文的叙述者一开始提到本应该今天下午去面见老板，但后文中说到自己有其他的事情，要取消自己和老板的这次见面。故选B。

听力原文：Woman: I’m coming in for a meeting with Mr. Savage today at 10 and I just wanted to be sure that I know how to reach you. Are you in that large building at the corner of Station Road? It’s called Cintra House, or something?

21．

正确答案：G

解析：听力原文中出现：I just wanted to be sure that I know how to reach you．(我想确认如何到达你那里)。故选G。

听力原文：Man: Well, if you haven’t any left in that colour, I don’t think I’ll bother. What about the trousers on Page 14? Have you got those in a medium size? I’ll have two pairs of them in grey, please. Do you charge for postage and packing?

22．

正确答案：C

解析：听力材料中提到裤子的颜色，型号，邮资以及包装等，这都暗示了此段内容是下订单的。故选C。

PART THREE

听力原文：Woman: The tremendous growth of the sportswear industry had been one of the great success stories of recent years. Sportswear manufacturers have made a great deal of money. Here with me in the studio to talk about this is Brent Collins, of Super Fashion Limited, who in recent years has become one of the country’s leading manufacturers of sportswear. Brent—I notice you aren’t wearing sports shoes or a tracksuit.Man: Not at the moment, Sandy. But I was earlier this morning.Woman: Can we start off by looking at the finances of this great success story? How much exactly is the sportswear industry worth?Man: At the moment I would say it’s worth something like ￡3,500 million a year.Woman: To whom? Where are people going for their sportswear?Man: Well, traditionally, up to the end of the 80s, shall we say, sportswear was produced almost exclusively by sportswear specialists and passed on to the department stores to be sold. In the last 10 years there’s been an interesting development of the mail-order business but most sportswear by far is still produced by sportswear companies like our own and then retailed through our own specialist outlets.Woman: Approximately what proportion of expenditure on all clothing and footwear is spent on sportswear? Do you know?Man: I’m not absolutely sure of the very latest figures, but it’s something in the region of 9%. That includes expenditure on children’s sportswear. What I think is more interesting or surprising is that a recent survey showed that last year 41% of sportswear was purchased by adults, not for use as sports clothes, not, I mean, to play a sport, but just as casual wear for their

entertainment activities.Woman: You say adults. But my impression is that it is the young who buy this sort of clothing. I mean, my mother hasn’t bought any sports shoes yet and they’ve been in fashion for years. I’m not sure she ever will buy any now.Man: Of course it basically is a youth market. However, one surprising fact is that the 16-25 age-group is in fact getting smaller and will continue to do so for a few more years. The size of this group has fallen from 9.5 million in the mid 1980s to something like 7.5 million now. And yet the sportswear market has expanded considerably during the same period. It can’t be simply a youth market.Woman: What do you see as the reason for the development in sportswear?Man: It’s hard, if not impossible, to give you any single reason. There are even plenty of reasons why it shouldn’t have happened, such as the rising costs of production and marketing, leading to much higher prices. What’s clear is that changing social conditions have greatly helped. The market couldn’t have grown to its present size without the relaxation in codes of dress that has taken place since the late 70s. We have relaxed some of our rules. This has allowed sports participants to wear their tracksuits and sports shoes for many other activities they are not designed for. At a very practical level, clothing and footwear which are suitable for sports are so easily used for other non-sporting activities as well. For DIY, or gardening, or just playing with the children.Woman: And how do you see the future for sportswear?Man: I expect increased competition between the manufacturers to produce more attractive and fashionable materials. I don’t expect this to affect the number of manufacturers active in the marketplace but it could well bring the prices down.Woman: Will we be wearing the same sportswear products then? Five years from now.Man: Almost definitely. This is not just a passing fashion. It will last. People young and old are putting an ever-increasing emphasis on the importance of feeling, and looking, fit and healthy. Most experts believe that sportswear will actually increase its market share over the next few years.
