SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文:W: How can I help you?
M: I'd like to return this sweater for a refund. I bought it a week ago.
W: Well, what seems to be the problem?
M: Isn't it obvious by just looking at it? The first time I washed and dried it, the thing shrank at least five sizes.
W: I see what you mean, but did you follow the washing instructions? I think it says here ... right here on the label to hand wash it and then to dry it on low heat.
M: How was I supposed to know that? The label is written in Chinese! And something else i The stitching is coming undone and the color faded from a nice dark blue to a seaweed green.
W: Listen, sir. What I can do is allow you to exchange the sweater for another one.
M: I don't want to exchange it for anything! I just want my money back!
W: Well, I can give you credit on your next purchase, and since the item you purchased was on clearance, we can't give you a refund. Anyway, you can only return items with a receipt within six days, and unfortunately, that was yesterday in your case.
M: But, your store was closed yesterday because of the national holiday. Listen, I give up. Your store policies are completely unreasonable, and how do you expect people to shop here?
W: You did... Ha, ha...
M: Take your sweater. You should open up a pet store and sell it as a dog sweater.
What is among the reasons why the man wants to return the item?
A.It is the wrong size.
B.The fabric is coming apart.
C.It is stained.
D.It has no label.
W: Why don't you try house-sitting? Last summer Cindy was a house sitter for the Smiths when they went away on vacation. They hired Cindy to stay in their house because they didn't want it left empty.
M: You mean they paid Cindy just to live in their house?
W: It wasn't that easy. She had to water the house plants, mow the lawn, and even take care of the pets.
M: I guess it is a little like baby-sitting, except you're taking care of a house instead of children.
W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.
M: Do I just have to fill oat an application?
W: You have to have an interview with the homeowner and provide three references at least.
M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.
W: Well, the homeowner wants some guarantee that they can trust the house sitter. You know they want to make sure you're not the type who'll hold wild parties in their house, or bring a group of friends in with you.
M: I see. House sitters who do that sort of thing probably aren't paid then.
W: Usually they're paid anyway just because the homeowners don't want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reports it, the house sitter won't be able to get another job easily. So why don't you apply?
M: I think I will. Thank you.

When I was approached with the idea of trying to create a landmine(地雷) campaign, we were just three people in a small office in Washington, DC in late I had more than a few ideas about how to begin a campaign, but what if nobody cared? What if nobody responded? But I knew the only way to answer those questions was to accept the challenge.
But if I have any power as an individual, it&39;s because I work with other individuals around the world. We are ordinary people--Jemma from Armenia, Paul from Canada, Christian from Norway and thousands more-who have worked together to bring about extraordinary change. The landmine campaign is not just about landmines--it&39;s about the power of individuals to work with governments in a different way.
I believe in both my right and my responsibility to work to create a world that doesn&39;t think highly of violence and war, but where we seek different solutions to our common problems. I know that holding such beliefs is not always easy or comfortable--particularly in the post-9/ 11 world. But I believe that life is about trying to do the right thing.
Most people tend to get caught up in going to college, then getting a job, buying a house and paying the loan. Somehow, I’ve had the desire--and the drive--to do things a bit differently. If enough ordinary people back up our desire for a better world, I believe we can accomplish extraordinary things.

Why did the author create a landmine campaign?A.Because she was encouraged by her colleagues
B.Because she got inspiration from protecting her brother
C.Because it was her duty to remove landmines
D.Because she was interested in whatever others disliked
What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The author had made many foreign friends
B.The landmine campaign had spread all over the world
C.Many individuals join the landmine campaign to create a better world
D.The author’s friends joined her in fighting against the government

B.Going to a famous university is the author’s belief
C.Most people take war and violence for granted
D.Settling problems peacefully is the author’s belief
The aim of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state【21】the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have【22】. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without【23】out any necessary facts. In writing a letter of application, keep in【24】that the things a possible employer is most【25】to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements(成绩) and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.【26】the first few sentences fail to【27】the reader's attention, the rest of the letter may not be【28】at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not【29】your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your【30】in today's newspaper," you might say "I have made a careful【31】of your advertising during the past six months." or "I have made a survey(调查) in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives【32】your product and why they like it."
Try not to look ordinary. Be clear【33】the kind of job for which you are now【34】. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask, "What can I【35】in a letter? Employers want experience--which, naturally, no【36】has." The answer is that everything you have ever done is【37】
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.【38】a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something certain to do or expect. An excellent【39】is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self- addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it【40】for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

听力原文:AGENT: Good morning. Ace Accommodation; how can I help you?
SYLVIA: Good morning. I'd like to organize some short stay accommodation on the Gold Coast, please.
AGENT: Certainly. Who am I speaking to?
SYLVIA: Miss Mackinlay. Sylvia Mackinlay.
AGENT: Could you spell your family name for me please?
SYLVIA: It's M-A-C-K-I-N-L-A-Y.
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
AGENT: Good morning. Ace Accommodation; how can I help you?
SYLVIA: Good morning. I'd like to organize some short stay accommodation on the Gold Coast, please.
AGENT: Certainly. Who am I speaking to?
SYLVIA: Miss Mackinlay. Sylvia Mackinlay.
AGENT: Could you spell your family name for me please?
SYLVIA: It's M-A-C-K-I-N-L-A-Y.
AGENT: Thank you. And your first name is Sylvia?
SYLVIA: Yes.
AGENT: Is that with an ' i' or a ' y' ?
SYLVIA: A 'y'—the old fashioned way. That's S-Y-L-V-I-A.
AGENT: Thank you, Miss Mackinlay. Now, just for our records, can you tell me what country you live in?
SYLVIA: Of course—it's England actually.
AGENF: I thought so. Now, when are you coming?
SYLVIA: Well, at the moment we're planning on arriving on July 26th.
AGENT: Ooh, the 25th, that's the last day of the public holiday and it might be difficult to find something available on that date.
SYLVIA: No, we're coming on the 26th of July.
AGENT: Oh, well that's fine then. We'll have lots of good places vacant by then although you wouldn't be able to move in until late afternoon because our cleaning crew will need time to get everything ready for you.
SYLVIA: That suits us—our flight won't get in until early evening anyway.
AGENT: How many of you will there be?
SYLVIA: Just my sister and myself.
AGENT: And how long do you intend to stay for?
SYLVIA: Oh, only a couple of weeks, we'd like to stay longer but we'll have to get back to work.
AGENT: So, you're not coming on business then?
SYLVIA: No, it's just a holiday. Why? What difference does that make?
AGENT: Oh, you'd be surprised. Business people have different needs you know, wireless internet, even fax machines and photocopiers.
SYLVIA: No, we won't need any of that stuff—we'll be coming to relax, and get away from all that kind of thing.
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
AGENT: Good. Now, what exactly are you looking for? A house, a duplex or an apartment?
SYLVIA: What's a duplex?
AGENT: Oh, that's what you might call a townhouse or a unit--you know, two houses semi-detached on the same property.
SYLVIA: Oh, I see. I think an apartment will suit us just fine.
AGENT: And how many bedrooms? Two?
SYLVIA: One or two—it depends on the size. My sister and I don't mind sharing if it's a decent size bedroom with two beds.
AGENT: Well, that makes it easier.
AGENT: And car parking? Will you require a lock-up garage? They're a little harder to find with an apartment.
SYLVIA: We'll have a hire car and as far as I know there are no regulations concerning car parking. I think as long as it's not parked on the street and it's secure there shouldn't be any problems.
AGENT: Okay. Now, I'm assuming you want something by the beach?
SYLVIA: Yes, that's the idea. We want to enjoy the surf, sand and sunshine.
AGENT: Okay, but before we settle on an area and discuss your price range, I'll need to know about other necessities.
SYLVIA: What do you mean?
AGENT: Well, for example, do you want to be close to a shopping mall or the casino or the fun parks? Or do you want to be in a complex with or near a swimming pool?
SYLVIA: No, none of that really matters to us but we'd like to have reasonable access to the motorway so that we can drive up to Brisbane to visit friends there.
AGENT: Well, there are quite a few lovely small towns to choose from. There's Main Beach which is north of Surfers' Paradise or Mermaid Waters which is a bit further south or Palm Beach which is quite a bit further south?
SYLVIA: Mermaid Waters sounds delightful. Is it close to the motorway?
AGENT: Well, not really, the M 1 is actually closest to Palm Beach and prices are likely to be more reasonable there too.
SYLVIA: That's settled then, Palm Beach it is.
AGENT: Now, if you'll just give me your email address, I can send you information about the town and lots of photos.
SYLVIA: Well, my email is S-M-A-C 13 at hotmail dot com.
AGENT: And, one final thing, how much are you looking to spend per week on accommodation? Do you want something at the luxury end of the market—you know, newly redecorated, great views, all the mod cons ...
SYLVIA: Not necessarily. Could we get something clean, comfortable and reasonable for $1200 a week?
AGENT: Could you stretch that to 1500 a week? I've got a property in mind that you'll absolutely love but you'd have to go to 1500—1200 wouldn't cover it.
SYLVIA: Alright, then. But that's our top limit.
AGENT: Good. I'll get on to this straight away and there should be something in your inbox shortly.
