    SECTION B INTERVIEW

    Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.

    Now listen to the interview.

    听力原文:Interviewer: Well Charles, I must say that your shop is pretty remarkable. Um, it's basically a sweetshop, but you also do stationery and greeting cards and tobacco and fireworks

    Shopkeeper: And newspapers.

    Interviewer: And newspapers. Ah. And apart from all that, you've got photocopiers...

    Shopkeeper: That's right.

    Interviewer: And a fax machine.

    Shopkeeper: Indeed.

    Interviewer: Yes. How did. I mean, why the photocopiers?

    Shopkeeper: Everything that's happened in my shop has almost happened by accident. But when I got into Clifton, I needed a photocopy one day and no one could tell me where to go. So it struck me that if I didn't know where to go, other people were in the same situation, so that's why I started it. And then I added on a facsimile machine because it seemed like a natural progression at the time. And all sorts of people use it.

    Interviewer: Yes, who, what sort of people do use it?

    Shopkeeper: Um, a lot of professional people —surveyors, engineers — particularly people who need to send plans. Because in the past you could send messages via telex, but a telex can't express a plan, whereas facsimile has that dimension, the added dimension.

    Interviewer: Right. And do people send these fax messages abroad, or is it just to this country?

    Shopkeeper: Well, it's surprising because when I started, I thought I'd be sending things to London and maybe Birmingham but, in fact, a high percentage of it is sent abroad, because it's immediate, it's very speedy. You can send a message and get an answer back very quickly.

    Interviewer: And how much would it cost, for example, if I wanted to send a fax to the United States?

    Shopkeeper: Well, a fax to the United States would cost you five pounds for a page. And when you think that in England by the Royal Mail, it would cost you twelve pounds to send a page by special delivery, it's actually a good value.

    Interviewer: OK. What about your hours? How long do you have to spend actually in the shop?

    Shopkeeper: Well, the shop is open from, essentially from eight in the morning until six at night, six days a week, and then a sort of fairly flexible morning on a Sunday. Um, and of those hours, I'm in it quite a lot.

    Interviewer: And how long have you actually had the shop?

    Shopkeeper: I started to have my shop in 1982, the 22nd of December, oh, sorry, the 22nd of November. It sticks in my brain.

    Interviewer: And did you enjoy it?

    Shopkeeper: Yes, overall I enjoy it. Running a business by yourself is jolly hard work and you never quite like every aspect all the time. 95% of the customers I love. Uh, 2% I really, you know, I'm not too bothered about. And 3% I positively hate.

    Interviewer: What, What's the problem with those? Are they people who stay around and talk to you when you're busy or complain or what?

    Shopkeeper: Um, it's bard to categorize really. I find people who are just totally rude, urn, unnecessary, and I don't really need their custom. And I suppose they form. the volume of the people that I don't like. But it's a very, very, very small percentage.

    Interviewer: But is there a danger that shops like yours will disappear, more and more?

    Shopkeeper" I think there's a very, very great danger that the majority of them will disappear.

    Interviewer: Why's that?

    Shopkeeper: Simply because costs of running a shop have just become very, very high. To give you some example, in the time that I've been there, my rent has quadrupled, the local property tax have doubled, other costs have gone up proportionately. And at the end of the day it is a little bit hard to try to keep u

  • 第9题:

    When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976, what I wanted to do was to earn (挣) enough money to feed my children. Today the "Body Shop" is a great company growing fast all around the world. In the years since we began, I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found in this book, because I believe that we, as a company, have something worth saying about how to run a successful business without giving up what you really believe in.
    It's not an ordinary business book. It is not just about my life, either. The message is that to succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun, and can be run with love and do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of my family and to feel excited by something unusual. I have always wanted the people who work for the "Body Shop" to feel the same way.
    Now this book sends these ideas out into the world, and makes them public. I'd like to think there are no limits (界限) to our "family", and no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too.

    What is the writer's main purpose (目的) in writing this text?

    A. To tell the reader her life story.
    B. To tell people how she brought up her children.
    C. To let people know how rich she was.

    问答题
    Practice 8  For most people the word “education” means “school” and “school” conjures up an image of a building with classrooms. But what do people think of when they hear “literacy programmes”? Probably nothing.  Living in illiteracy is such an unknown-even a little mysterious-experience.  Yet today nearly a billion people are illiterate, not to mendon the 113 million school-aged children who do not attend school. Wonderful progress has been made during the last half of the twentieth century in the field of education. But still the number of adult illiterates, particularly women, rises. This is now the challenge of the twenty-first century-the thorn in the side of efforts to achieve Education for All (EFA). It has become clear that Education for All cannot be possible without Literacy for All.  However, tremendous strides have been made in literacy. How has this been possible? Who brought it about? The people behind literacy efforts must be congratulated for working against all odds to bring about this achievement. But where are they? Who are they? What are their tasks like? And their problems, challenges and rewards? What inspires them? What conditions do they work and live under?

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    对大部分人来说,“教育”就意味着“学校”,而一提到“学校”,他们想到的就是大楼里一间间的教室。但当听到“扫盲计划”的时候,他们会想到什么呢?也许什么也没有。
    文盲是怎样生活的?我们不知道;对我们来说,甚至还会感到有些神秘。但即使在今天,世界上还有10亿文盲,这个数字还不包括1. 13亿失学的学龄儿童。当然,20世纪后半叶,教育领域已取得了长足的进步。但成人文盲的人数,尤其是妇女文盲的人数却增加了。这是对21世纪的挑战——对我们实现“全民教育”计划的努力,无疑也是一个巨大的障碍。非常明显,没有“全民扫盲”,就不会有“全民教育”。
    当然,扫盲工作已取得了巨大的成就。那么,这些成就是怎么取得的呢?是谁作出了这些成就的?我们必须赞扬那些为扫盲工作做出贡献的人,他们克服了种种困难才取得了这些成就。那么,他们这些人在哪儿呢?他们又是谁?他们是怎样工作的?他们会遇到些什么样的问题扣挑战?他们能取得多少报酬?是什么激励他们从事扫盲工作的?他们的工作条件和生活条件又是什么样的?

    Practice 3  We all know talented people who never seem to reach their potential. These people often have great early success, then seem to fade into averages.  Those who lack persistence start out with the best intentions, but they eventually drift.  This trait is quite characteristic, for example, of people who are constantly changing careers. They become enthusiastic about their new job and feed off this momentum for a while to perform well. But when this newness wears off and they realize they aren’t incredibly committed to sticking with that job in the long term, their success begins to wane and they start to fail.

    我们都知道有些有天分的人似乎没有完全发挥出潜力,这些人往往在前期取得巨大的成功,然后似乎变得默默无闻。
    没有毅力的人在开始时,出发点是好的,但他们最终会随波逐流。
    例如,对于那些不断换工作的人来说,这种特质是非常典型的。他们对新工作充满激情,有一段时间他们会凭借这一势头表现良好。但是当新鲜感逐渐消失后,他们意识到不可能承诺长期坚守那份工作,他们的成功逐渐消退,开始走向失败。

    正确答案: Well, people in the past were happier than today I think. Because life in the past is fairly simple and they didn’t have many difficulties to overcome.
