4、6,Womens College/ Womens College 3 【正确答案】 Education 4 【正确答案】 994578ED 5 【正确答案】 C 6 【正确答案】 B 7 【正确答案】 B 8 【正确答案】 A 9 【正确答案】 C 10 【正确答案】 A 11 【听力原文】 Woman: Right, lets move on to the beaches here which are absolutely beautiful. You do have over a hundred to choose from, theyre mostly sandy beaches and

5、 they vary from the largest which is two and a half kilometers long, to tiny sandy coves. But there are a few that Id really recommend you to visit. So looking at this pamphlet, first of all theres Bandela beach. This beach is one kilometer away from the old fishing village of Bandela . which is a b

6、eautiful spot. If you park in the car park behind it, theres a small path which leads down to the bay. Its very pretty because the whole beach is backed by pine trees so its very sheltered. The beach itself is very clean and the water is shallow and safe. That together with the soft sand make it an

7、ideal beach for children and non-swimmers.Um, a little further round the coast, again to the east . in the eastern corner of the island, is the spectacular Da Porlata beach which is basically a long inlet. The land around this beach is marshland . its all marsh . and theres a stream which winds thro

8、ugh it and the stream goes into the sea . and the beach has lovely pale gold sand. Access to this beach is quite tricky and not for the less energetic! You have to go down a long flight of steps - 190 to be exact. But youll be relieved to know that theres also a road which winds down to a car parkin

9、g area. When youre level with the sea, there is a handful of shops and bars and you can hire sunbeds and umbrellas. Continuing round the island, just past the Tip of Caln is the next beach Id suggest you visit and this is San Gett. Why? Because there isnt a beach longer than this on the island. If y

10、ou want to know, its exactly two and a half kilometres long and thats a bonus because it means it never gets overcrowded. It has golden sand and clear, blue water shelving into the sea. There are several beach restaurants to choose from and watersports are available when the water is calm. But check

11、 first. This beach operates a flag system as the sea can get rough and you should always swim between the flags. Theres a large car park which gives you easy access to the eastern end of the beach but the western end is much quieter and more wild as it is harder to reach. Blanaka is another popular

12、beach -just in the north-west corner of the island. It has incredibly white sand and sparkling water. There is ample car parking here and plenty of bars and restaurants. Blanaka has white cliffs all around it and for those of you whod like a little more to do than just lazing on the beach, there are

13、 caves here which you can explore in the cliffs and you can also dive into the water from rock platforms along the side of the cove. Well, my final recommendation for today is Dissidor. Now this beach isnt quite as easy to get to as the others Ive talked about. Its quite a remote little beach tucked

14、 away here next to Blanaka. You can reach Dissidor by a steep slope which goes over some sandbanks. The beach itself is small and pretty, with reddish-coloured sand and some stony areas on its eastern side. Despite being quite small the bathing is good and you can also go fishing here from the rocks

15、 at either side. Its a good idea to take some food and drink with you if you decide to go here as theres only one little bar which isnt always open. So that should give you plenty of ideas to choose from over the next two weeks . 11 【正确答案】 fishing village 12 【正确答案】 pine trees 13 【正确答案】 marshland/mar

Lee Rogers talks to one major book

17、store manager. Lee: Jenny Farrow, youre the manager of Dalton Books - and you sell an awful lot of books to students, dont you? Jenny: Yes! We do. Lee: How do you manage to make sure that youre going to have the books students need when all the new courses begin? Jenny: Basically, we make preparatio

18、ns long before they arrive. Like all other major book retailers, we have a database of information, and using that, we contact course convenors in May and ask them to send us their booklists. Lee: How many books are we talking about? Jenny: For one course? Lee: Yes, as an example. Jenny: An average

19、course requires about 30 books. We ask lecturers to indicate whether a book is what we call essential reading . you know, the students simply have to get it . or whether its what they would term recommended reading or whether its just a supplementary text that they tend to refer to as background rea

20、ding. Lee: What about predicted buyers? Jenny: Its not a perfect system unfortunately. If a lecturer tells us that he expects us to sell 100 copies of a book, we know that we could actually sell anything from 50 to 150. Thats why in practice, when it comes to ordering, its a lot safer to go by the p

21、revious years sales figures - if thats possible of course . if weve sold the book before. We also build other factors into the equation including the type of course that the books are for, the students year group and a measure of our own judgement. Lee: And these criteria make a fairly accurate guid

22、e? Jenny: As accurate as we can be, yes. Lee: What about the publishers? Do they take an active role in promoting new books? Jenny: Certainly. The academic and professional publishing market is worth about f700 million a year, so publishers go to some lengths to make sure their books are known. The

23、standard procedure they use is to mail out catalogues to lecturers or colleges and universities, thats been the main form of promotion for years. Now, of course, they can also post details of new or revised works on websites. Some even go so far as writing individual letters to the appropriate lectu

24、rers in order to let them know whats coming up. Lee: The lecturers then contact you if theyre interested . Jenny: Thats right. The publishers send us - the book sellers - inspection copies. Lecturers can then get a free copy and decide whether its going to be suitable for their course. Lee: And how

25、does it work with the students? What are they looking for and who helps them most? Jenny: I think lecturers are best placed to understand the students needs. Often the critical issue is what represents value for money for students. This is more important than price per se. Lee: Do students actually

26、buy books before they start the course? Jenny: Apparently a large proportion of students wait to see what they need. Students have a firm idea of what constitutes a good book so they tend to give themselves time to look at all the options before making a choice. They tend to go for books that are cl

27、ear and easy to use. Often the texts that their lecturers recommend turn out to be too academic and remain here on our shelves.

29、t job or commission as an artist . Over to you Rebecca. Rebecca: Thank you for inviting me. I remember when I graduated back in 1983, I was very excited about getting my first commission. My degree was in Fine Art and Id worked long and hard to get it. I was an enthusiastic student and I never found

30、 it difficult to find the incentive to paint. I think as a student youre pushed along by fellow students and tutors and the driving force is there. However, when you leave college you find yourself saying things like lll have one more cup of coffee and then Ill sit down to work. I hate to admit it b

31、ut I say it myself. Suddenly it isnt finding the inspiration or getting the right paper thats a problem, its you. In my view, there are a number of reasons why this happens. Its a real challenge making a decent living as a new artist . you have to find a market for your work, often you work freelanc

32、e and need to take samples or portfolios of your work from place to place . these experiences are common to a lot of professional people . but artists also have to bare their souls to the world in a way . more than anything they want praise . if people dont like what they create then it can be a ver

33、y emotional and upsetting experience hearing them say this. I began to realise that these problems were preventing me from having a career in art and so I decided to experiment. I was a painter but I started to dabble in illustration . drawing pictures for books, cards . and this offered me the oppo

34、rtunity to become more emotionally detached from my work. I was no longer producing images from the heart but developing images for a specifed subject . taking a more practical approach.I began to develop a collection of my illustrations which I put into a portfolio and started to carry around with

35、me to show prospective clients and employers. But it was still tricky because publishers, for example, want to know that your drawings will reproduce well in a book but without having had any work published, its hard to prove this. Having a wonderful portfolio or collection of original artwork is, o

36、f course, a first step but what most potential clients would like to see is printed artwork and without this evidence they tend to hold back still when it comes to offering a contract. Well, I overcame this problem in two ways. And I suppose this is my advice to you on preparing your portfolio of yo

37、ur best work. The first way was by submitting my work for a competition, and the one I chose was for a horoscope design and was sponsored by a top womens magazine. There are a few of these competitions each year and they offer new illustrators an opportunity to showcase their work. The other approac

38、h I took was to design and print some mock-up pages of a book. In other words, I placed some of my illustrations next to some text in order to demonstrate how my work would look when it was printed. Perhaps I was lucky in that I had taken a degree that provided me with all-round creative skills so t

39、hat I could vary my style and wasnt limited to a certain technique. I think that is important. The art world, and many other creative fields, do try to pigeon-hole people into snug boxes with an accompanying label. I think you should try to resist this if you feel it happening to you. If you dont, y

40、oull find it difficult to have new work accepted if you try to develop your style at a later stage in your career. Nevertheless, when you start out and particularly when youre going for an interview, its important not to confuse people by having a lot of different examples in your portfolio. One rem

41、edy for this is to separate your work into distinct categories. In my case, I did this by dividing my design-inspired illustrations from my paintings. It is then easier to analyse the market suited to each portfolio; such as magazines, book jackets, CD covers etc. Working under two names is also use

42、ful as it clarifies the different approaches and offers a distinction between them. I think its been hard for artists to be recognised in anything other than the pigeon-holes that they have been placed in. Luckily these barriers are slowly being demolished . 31 【正确答案】 C 32 【正确答案】 A/D 33 【正确答案】 D/A 34 【正确答案】 A 35 【正确答案】 B 36 【正确答案】 (a) competition(s) 37 【正确答案】 design (and) print 38 【正确答案】 styles/techniques 39 【正确答案】 categories 40 【正确答案】 two/2 names
