　　Section1

　　MR THORNDYKE:Thorndyke’s.

　　EDITH:Good morning.

　　Is that Mr Thorndyke?

　　MR THORNDYKE:Speaking.

　　How can I help?

　　EDITH:I've got quite a few things which need painting and fixing in the flat and I wonder whether you'd be able to do the work.

　　MR THORNDYKE:I'm sure I'd be able to help but let me take down a few details.

　　EDITH:Yes, of course.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Well, firstly, how did you hear about us?

　　EDITH:It was my friend May Hampton...

　　you did some excellent work for her a couple of years ago.

　　Do you remember?

　　MR THORNDYKE:Oh, yes, that was in West Park Flats, lovely lady.

　　EDITH:Yes, she is.

　　MR THORNDYKE:And what's your name, please?

　　EDITH:It's Edith Pargetter.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Edith ...

　　can you spell your surname, please?

　　EDITH:It's P-A-R-G-E-double T-E-R.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Double T, right.

　　And do you live in West Park Flats as well?

　　EDITH:No, actually it’s East Park. Flat 4.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Oh, right, that's over the road, I seem to remember—quite difficult to get to.

　　EDITH:Yes, it’s at the back of the library.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Right, I know.

　　And what's your phone number?

　　EDITH:875934 but I'm out a great deal in the afternoons and evenings.

　　MR THORNDYKE: So would the best time to ring you be in the morning?

　　EDITH:Yes.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Fine.

　　I've made a note of that.

　　Can I just ask, I'll be in a van and I know parking's rather difficult round your flats.

　　Where would you recommend?

　　EDITH:Well, I always tell people in larger vehicles to park by the postbox on the other side of the road from the entrance.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Good, thanks.

　　EDITH:And will you be able to give me a full itemised quote?

　　MR THORNDYKE:Oh, yes, I'll list all the jobs separately with individual prices.

　　EDITH:That'd be a great help.

　　MR THORNDYKE:No problem.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Now, what would you like me to do?

　　EDITH:Firstly and most urgently is in the kitchen.

　　With all the weather damage, the glass in the door has cracked and I'd need that fixing...

　　MR THORNDYKE:I presume you mean replacing?

　　EDITH:Oh, yes.

　　And as soon as possible...

　　MR THORNDYKE:What I'll do is come round tomorrow morning and do that immediately.

　　EDITH:Thank you so much.

　　The other things aren't so urgent but...

　　MR THORNDYKE:Now, I'll make a note of everything you want doing.

　　EDITH:Well, in the kitchen I'd like some painting doing.

　　MR THORNDYKE:All the kitchen walls?

　　EDITH: Just the area over the cooker.

　　It's very greasy...

　　MR THORNDYKE:Right...

　　it does tend to get that way!

　　EDITH:Yes!

　　MR THORNDYKE:Well, if you want a proper job done what I'd need to do is strip the old paint and plaster it about a week before I paint it.

　　EDITH:Of course.

　　Now, May tells me you also do work in the garden.

　　MR THORNDYKE:That's right.

　　EDITH:Well, I'd like you to replace a fence.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Just one?

　　EDITH:Yes, at the far end.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Fine.

　　Shouldn't be a problem.

　　EDITH:And that's the lot.

　　MR THORNDYKE:Fine.

　　Yeah, as I say I can come round tomorrow morning to look over things with you.

　　EDITH:That's great, thank you.

　　MR THORNDYKE:So, I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow at...

　　Question 1

　　答案：Pargetter

　　定位：题目考査的是人名，关鍵词为 name 和 Edith。

　　解析：录音中明确说出了人名，并将姓氏拼读出来。需要注意的是录音“double t(双写 t)”，所以正确答案是 Pargetter。

　　Question 2

　　答案：East

　　定位：题目考査的是地址，关键词为 Park Flats。

　　解析：关键词 Park Flats 在录音中重现。男士问女士是不是住在 West Park Flats，女士否定了， 并更正为 East Park。考生不要被迷惑了，正确答案是 East。

　　Question 3

　　答案： library

　　定位：题目考査的是地址，关键词为 behind。

　　解析：该题与上一题互为补充，可以推测该题答案在录音中出现的位置与上一題很近。女士更正地址之后，进一步给出更明确的地址，说 at the back of the library，所以正确答案是 library。 题目中的 behind 与录音中的 at the back of 属于同义替换。

　　Question 4

　　答案：morning/mornings

　　定位：题目考査的是与顾客见面的最隹时间，关键词为 best time。

　　解析：录音中女士提到了自己的作息时间，可预测答案与此有关。接着男士询问早上是否合适，女士也给予了肯定的回答，所以答案是 morning;因为不确定是哪天早上，所以复数形式 mornings 也是正确的。

　　Question 5

　　答案：postbox

　　定位：题目考査的是停车场的地址，关键词为 park、opposite entrance、next to。

　　解析：男士提到 parking’s rather difficult，并询问了女士，可预测答案应在此处。接着女士回答 park by the postbox，所以正确答案是 postbox。

　　Question 6

　　答案：prices

　　定位：考査的是账单内容，关键词为 fun quote 和 jobs，jobs 与空格处是并列关系。

　　解析：关键词 quote 在录音出重现，可预测答案应在此处。男士说报价中会包含 all the jobs 和 individual prices, jobs 与空格处是并列关系，所以正确答案是 prices。

　　Question 7

　　答案：glass

　　定位：题目问需要替换门上哪个部件，关键词为 kitchen、replace 和 door。

　　解析：关键词 kitchen 在录音中重现，预测答案在此处。女士说 glass in the door 破损了，男士确定是否需要 replace，所以正确答案为 glass。

　　Question 8

　　答案：cooker

　　定位：题目考査需要粉刷的区域，关键词为 kitchen、paint、wall 和 above。

　　解析：关键词 kitchen、painting 在录音中重现，女士说厨房需要粉刷，预测答案在此处。接着 男士询问粉刷范围，女士回答说 just the area over the cooker，所以答案是 cooker。题目中的 above 与录音中的 over 属于同义替换。

　　Question 9

　　答案：week

　　定位：题目考查关于墙壁粉刷的注意事项，空格后面出现了 in advance， 所以答案可能与时间有关。关键词为 strip、paint、plaster、in advance。

　　解析： Question 9 的内容是 Question 8 的补充，可预测这两题在录音中距离很近。关键词 strip、paint 和 plaster 连续出现，答案应在此处，所以正确答案是 week。题目中的 approximately、in advance 与录音中的 about、before 分别属于同义替换。

　　Question 10

　　答案：fence

　　定位：题目考査花园中需要修葺的项目，空格前面是数词 one，可猜出答案是单数形式的可数名词。关键词为 garden、replace。

　　解析：关键词 garden 在录音中重现，预测答案应在此处。女士在下文中说需要 replace a fence, 所以正确答案是 fence。
