First of all, Id like to say that this afternoons computer session has proved to be much more popular than we anticipated, so were moving this session to Room 110. Thats on the fir

22、ement 9 【正确答案】 610 10 【正确答案】 conference office 11 【正确答案】 advertisement 12 【正确答案】 Garden Room 二、 PART TWO 12 【听力原文】 PART TWO Man: Well, Im quite nervous about it, to be honest. Ive never met the boss before and Ive heard him to be a bit dismissive of younger managers. And its only because my immediat

23、e superior is off sick that Ive been asked to represent my department at todays meeting. Its so early as well. Nine oclock. Thats why Im hoping therere no delays on the way today. At least we are making good time so far. Thats all I need not to be late. Its bad enough forgetting to bring any money w

24、ith me today. Thats great for someone in my department, isnt it? Woman: Yes, the meeting seemed to go pretty well and we covered all the important areas on my agenda. There were one or two small points that I would have liked to have got through but I can probably have my assistant send up memos to

25、the managers of each department concerning these. I must say I was very impressed with your ideas for the future of your department. Good work. Im also very impressed with that young man in the finance department. Whats his name? Uh, Mike. He could have quite a future in front of him like a young ma

26、n. I can certainly use fresh ideas like his in this company. Man: I think I mentioned to you all before that at the interdepartmental meeting with the managing director last week it was put to me that we need to look to expansion into new markets. And I am interested in any suggestions that anyone i

27、n our department may come up with. You had some excellent ideas for expansion last year when we moved to the Mid-Eastern market. So if you could all give that some thought, I know, Sarah, that you said you looked into the possibility of further Eastern European customers on your last trip to the Cze

28、ch Republic, and Ive been interested in your report, uh, when its ready. Woman: And Androew, have you got those figures for the suggestions for the new courses that we hope to be able to offer? Or were those in the file that you left in the office, too? Id like to take them with me to the interdepar

29、tmental meeting this afternoon. As it should be a good opportunity to try to persuade everyone there of the value of the new courses, the new language training scheme in particular. If Im successful in this, it could mean some profitable expansion for all of us in our department. So please remember

30、to get them to me this time. Man: Well, I dont know. We didnt really talk about my department. Most items on the agenda seem to be about our new marketing strategy or something, which has very little to do with me. Well, I suppose it will affect me eventually- Because if we do expand , a lot more st

31、aff are going to be needed. So Ill be busy interviewing for a while. But apparently thats unlikely to be before next September. Actually thats a point, though. Perhaps we should think about taking our holiday in France before then because you said something about being very busy in your job after Au

32、gust. We dont want the same complications as last year. 13 【正确 答案】 G： the Junior Finance Manager 【试题解析】 关键信息： The woman said： “Im also very impressed with that young man in the finance department ”后文又提到： “quite a future in frontof him like a young man”得出 “junior”一词。 14 【正确答案】 C： the Managing Directo

33、r 【试题解析】 关键信息： the man said： “I think I mentioned to you all before that at the interde-partmental meeting with the managing direc-tor ” 15 【正确答案】 E： the Marketing Manager 【试题解析】 关键信息： the man说的： “You had some excellent ideas for expansion last year” 及后面 的 “you looked into the possibilityof further

34、eastern European customers ”可以看出是销售部经理的工作范围。 16 【正确答案】 B： the Training Manager 【试题解析】 关键信息： the woman说的话中提及 “newcourses”和 “the new language training”可听出关键词 training。 17 【正确答案】 A： the Personnel Manager 【试题解 析】 关键信息：由 man说的 “a lot more staff aregoing to be needed”知公司需要招新职员，是人事部经理的工作范围。 18 【正确答案】 J 【试题

35、解析】 关键信息： the man说到 “Nine oclock”并提到 “all I needed-not to be late”只有 J说到 on the train to work，搭火车去上班，说明 the man担心迟到。故选 J。 19 【正确答案】 I 【试题解析】 关键信息：说话人说到 “I was very impressed with your ideas for the future of ourdepartment”说明她与听话者一同去开会，故只有 in the same company的人才一同开会，并说到： “I can probably have my assis

36、tant”。因此，说明她是 manager。 20 【正确答案】 L 【试题解析】 关键信息：文中提到 “in our department”说明说话人与听话人为同一个 department，故排除其他选项可选 L。 21 【正 确答案】 O 【试题解析】 关键信息：此文一开头便问到你是否带来了 (文件 )，还是又落在办公室的文件栏里，且在文末又强调 “please remember toget them to me this time”，足以说明听话者为一个 forgetful member of department(健忘者 )。 22 【正确答案】 N 【试题解析】 关键信息：文中说到

37、“taking our holidayin France”，即表明说话双方为关系亲密的人。因此排除其他选项，只能选择 N项。 三、 PART THREE 22 【听力原文】 Part Three F: Id like to welcome as my guest today, the economist Peter Smith. M: Hello. F: Furbies are very popular recently, but in FAO Schwarz, Manhattans big toy store, many children cant get Furbies. Why are

38、Furbies in such short supply? M: The manufacturer seems to have deliberately made them scarce. They made about a million, which is not a lot. At my neighborhood store they have built up a backlog of 500 orders in the past week or so. F: But why is the supply not enough? M: If you want to sell, play

39、hard to get. This law, in fact, may be biologically determined. Carefully arranged supply can make sellers rich. Look at diamonds, skilfully manipulated for decades by De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd and its fellow cartelists. They could produce diamonds a lot faster than they do, but that would dri

40、ve the price down and make diamonds less desirable. F: So you mean it is a trick of manufacturers? M: Its old hat in the toy business. Toy. Inc. has made a large sum of money off its Beanie Babies by taking different models of these stuffed animals off sale before demand is satisfied, giving rise to

41、 a belief by who knows how many Americans that the cheaply made imports have some kind of collectors value. For Hasbro, with $ 3.5 billion in 1998 estimated sales, a million Furbies retailing for $ 30 each add up to less than 1 % of sales. Nonetheless, restricting supply is a good move because it ma

42、kes retailers happy with Hasbro. This is one product for which they wont be stuck with unsold inventory. Oversupplying product is probably the greatest risk associated with fad marketing. F: What do you do if your kid wants a Furby? M: Persuade her that Tickle Me Elmo is a better doll. Its certainly a better buy. Two years ago this toy was so hard to find that people were paying $ 500 for it on the black market. Now you can get one for $20. 23 【正确答案】 C 24 【正确答案】 C 25 【正确答案】 A 26 【正确答案】 C 27 【正确答案】 A 28 【正确答案】 C 29 【正确答案】 C 30 【正确答案】 B
