M: That’s a very good don’t think there is any, : For example, in your case, what was your educational background? M: Well, I did a degree in French at that, I did careers work in secondary schools like the careers guidance people here is in the I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative progressed on to there wasn’t any plan and there was no specific are plenty of training courses in management techniques and mittee work which you can attend : But in the first place, you did a French : In my time, there wasn’t a degree you could do for think most of the administrators I’ve e across have degrees and all sorts of : Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I am doing : : But you are local to Nottingham, actually?

W: Oh, yes, but I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole : What does the man mean? 【答案】A)He fell asleep in the middle of the TV program.【解析】這是道推理判斷題,考查男士的言下之意以及虛擬語氣。從對話中可知,女士搞不清楚列車時刻表,男士建議她去售票窗口咨詢。雖然她也提到之前在大學學習,但是她取得的學位是a degree in English,而非選項D中的a degree in was the woman asked to do in the end? 【答案】C Send in a written application as soon as possible.【解析】對話中女士希望得到面試機會,但是男士要求先要遞交書面申請(reply a writing to the advertisement),并不是所有人都能得到面試機會,因此選擇答案C。女士提到她喜歡這份工作的原因是be near to the family.,close是near的同義替換詞,因此選擇B選項。在對話一開始,女士就說到她的目的:I’m calling about the job that was in the paper last paper last night,對應A選項。因此選擇
