　　Section1

　　WOMAN:Good evening.

　　King's Restaurant.

　　MAN:Good evening.

　　I'm ringing about the job I understand you have vacant.

　　WOMAN:Oh yes.

　　MAN:I'd like to find out a few more details, if I may.

　　WOMAN:Yes, of course.

　　Can I take your name?

　　MAN:It's Peter Chin.

　　WOMAN:Okay, Peter.

　　Well, if you want to ask about the job and then if we're both still interested, we could arrange for you to come for an interview.

　　MAN:Great, thanks.

　　I'm afraid I missed the advert for the job but heard about it from a friend.

　　WOMAN:That's no problem at all.

　　What would you like to know?

　　MAN:Well, urn, what sort of work is it - washing up?

　　WOMAN:It's answering the phone.

　　MAN:Oh right, fine.

　　WOMAN:And not waiting at table.

　　MAN:That'd be good.

　　And how many nights a week would it be?

　　WOMAN:Well, we're really only busy at the weekend.

　　MAN:So two nights?

　　WOMAN:Three actually, so it would work out at twelve hours a week.

　　MAN:That'd be fine.

　　It wouldn't interfere with my studies.

　　WOMAN:Are you at the university?

　　MAN:Yes.

　　First year Physics student.

　　WOMAN:Oh, right.

　　MAN:Urn, and because I'm not an EU national would I need a work permit?

　　WOMAN:Yes you would.

　　Just get your tutor to sign it.

　　MAN:That wouldn't be a problem, if I were to get the job.

　　Urn, where exactly is the restaurant?

　　WOMAN:Well, we have two branches - the one we're recruiting for is in Hillsdunne Road.

　　MAN:I don’t know that.

　　How do you spell it please?

　　WOMAN:It's H-I-double L-S-D-U-double N-E Road.

　　MAN:Got that.

　　Thanks.

　　Is it near a bus stop?

　　WOMAN:Yes.

　　The nearest one would probably be just beside the Library.

　　MAN:Oh yes.

　　I know it.

　　That'd be fine for me.

　　And could I ask about the pay?

　　WOMAN:We're offering £4.45 an hour.

　　MAN:That's very good.

　　My last job was £3.95 an hour.

　　WOMAN:We feel it's pretty good and we also offer some good fringe benefits.

　　MAN:Really?

　　WOMAN:Well, we give you a free dinner, so you eat well.

　　MAN:Right, better than hostel food!

　　WOMAN:We certainly hope so!

　　And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays.

　　MAN:Oh, that's a really good perk, isn't it?

　　WOMAN:Yes, we think so.

　　And then because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you're working after 11 o'clock we drive you home.

　　MAN:Oh, that's good to know.

　　WOMAN:Well, we'd certainly be interested in inviting you for an interview, if you're still interested?

　　MAN:Oh yes, certainly.

　　Could I just also ask what qualities you're looking for?

　　WOMAN:Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have!

　　MAN:Thanks.

　　WOMAN:And you must be able to think quickly, you know.

　　MAN:Well.

　　I hope I’d ...

　　WOMAN:So, when could you come in for an interview?

　　We're actually quite quiet tonight?

　　MAN:Sorry.

　　I couldn't come tonight.

　　Or tomorrow, I’m afraid Thursday's okay –that’d be 22nd of October.

　　WOMAN:Fine, after 5 p.m.?

　　MAN:Yes, fine.

　　Would 6 o'clock be okay?

　　WOMAN:Perfect.

　　And could you bring along the names of two referees?

　　MAN:Yes, that's fine, no problem.

　　WOMAN:Good.

　　I look forward to seeing you.

　　MAN:Oh, by the way, who should I ask for?

　　WOMAN:Oh yes, of course, sorry.

　　My name is Samira Manuja.

　　MAN:Can you spell that, please?

　　WOMAN:m-a-n-u-j-a.

　　MAN:Okay.

　　I've got that.

　　Thanks very much.

　　WOMAN:Look forward to seeing you later on then .

　　Question 1

　　答案：answer(ing) (the)phone

　　定位原文：scripts: MAN: Well, um, what sort of work is it, washing up? WOMAN: It's answering the phone.

　　解题思路： 注意同义词定位的问题。题干中的 type of work 在原文中的表述是 sort of work。另外，原文中有迷惑信息 washing up。

　　Question 2

　　答案：Hillsdunne Road

　　定位原文：scripts: WOMAN: Well, we have two branches. The one we're recruiting for is in Hillsdunne Road. MAN: I don't know that. How do you spell it please? WOMAN: It's H-I-double L-S-D-U-double N-E Road.

　　解题思路: 本题的答案距离第 1 题很远，这需要考生注意力集中，否则容易错过答案。本题可以进行代词还原：原文中的 the one=the branch。另外，还要注意本题出题的角度，因为要用 branch 去定位，如果原文中先说答案，再说定位词，会比较难以定位;而题干中的语序在原文中是颠倒的，这反而使得定位更加容易。

　　Question 3

　　答案：library

　　定位原文：scripts: WOMAN: Yes. The nearest one would probably be just beside the Library.

　　解题思路：代词还原：题干中的 nearest bus stop=原文中的 the nearest one。同义词：题干中的 next to=原文中的 beside。

　　Question 4

　　答案：4.45

　　定位原文：scripts: WOMAN: We're offering ￡4.45 an hour. MAN: That's very good. My last job was ￡3.95 an hour.

　　解题思路：信息密集：本题的答案距离第 3 题很近，这需要考生边写边听的能力。另外要注意金钱的读法，英语中一般不会读成 four point four five,而会读成 four pounds forty five,或者 four forty five。

　　Question 5

　　答案：national holidays

　　定位原文：scripts: WOMAN: We certainly hope so! And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays.

　　解题思路：本题直接可以用原词定位，不难。但是考生要注意答案写成复数的形式，因为每年不止一个节日。

　　Question 6

　　答案：after 11 (o’clock)

　　定位原文：scripts: WOMAN: Yes, we think so. And then because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you're working after 11 o'clock we drive you home. MAN: Oh, that's good to know.

　　解题思路：同义词：题干中的 transports=原文中的 drive you home。

　　Question 7

　　答案：clear voice

　　定位原文：scripts: MAN: Oh yes, certainly. Could I just also ask what qualities you're looking for? WOMAN: Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have!

　　解题思路：题干中的 required=原文中的 looking for。

　　Question 8

　　答案：think quickly

　　定位原文：scripts: WOMAN: And you must be able to think quickly, you know.

　　解题思路：并列信息：本题与上一题是并列关系，比较容易定位。但是要注意派生词的问题：题干中是 ability to，原文中说的是 be able to。

　　Question 9

　　答案：22 October

　　定位原文：scripts: MAN: Sorry, I couldn't come tonight, or tomorrow, I'm afraid. Thursday's okay, that'd be 22nd of October.

　　解题思路：首先要注意预测问题，因为有些考生不知道英语中说日期的习惯是：周—日—月。当然如果把日月颠倒过来写，是不会扣分的。另外注意：日期写基数词，月份写缩写，这样可以避免低级错误。

　　Question 10

　　答案：Manuja

　　定位原文：scripts: WOMAN: Oh yes, of course, sorry. My name is Samira Manuja. MAN: Can you spell that, please? WOMAN: M-A-N-U-J-A.

　　解题思路：人名和地名的拼写是雅思常考内容。考生要注意两方面：(1)先听单词的发音(2)再听字母的拼读。有些字母的发音比较接近，会导致听不清，但是如果注意听单词的发音，就比较容易分清楚那些字母了。另外，雅思考试中会出现一些与英语发音习惯不一样的情况，比如，本题中 j 在人名 Manuja 中发/h/ 音，如果不注意后面听字母的拼读，有可能会拼写成 h。这样的情况还有 v 和 b，这两个字母在西班牙语中的发音可能是反的。
