Children，Students and Senior Citizens get a50%Q10 discount on everything. B: If only!Section 2Hello,and thank you for asking me to your teachers' meeting to talk about theDinosaur Museum and to tell you a bit about what you can do with your studentsthere.Well,let me give you some of the basic information first. In regard to openinghours,we're open every day of the week from am to pm except on Mondays when we close at ,in fact the only day in the year when we’re closed is on the 25th of December Q11&12. You can book a guided tour for your school group any time that we're open. If you bring a school group to the museum,when you arrive we ask you to remain with your group i n the car park. One or more of the tour guides will welcome you there and brief you Q13 about what the tour will be about. We do this there because our entrance is quite small and we really haven't got much room for briefing groups in the exhibition area.As far as the amount of time you'll need goes,if you bring a school group you should plan on allowing a minimum of 90 minutes for the visit. This allows 15 minutes to get on and off the coach,45 minutes Q14for the guided tour and 30 minutes for after-tour activities.If you're going to have lunch at the museum you will,ofcourse,have to allow more time. The re are two cafés in the museum,with seating for 80 people. If you want to eat there you'lI need to reserve some seating, as they can get quite crowed at lunch time. Then utside the museum at the back there are tables Q15, and students can bring their own lunch and eat it there in the open air.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the students come into the museum foyer we ask them to check in their backpacks with their books,lunch boxes , etc, at the cloakroom before they enter the museum proper. I'm afraid in the past we have had a few things gone missing after school visits so this is a strict rule. Also,some of the exhibits are fragile and we don't want them to be accidentally knocked. But we do provide school students with handouts with questions and quizzes on them.Q16-18There's so much that students can learn in the muse um and it’s fun for them to have something to do. Of course! They’ll need to bring somet hing to write with for these. We do allow students to take photograph.Q16-18 For students who are doing projects it's useful to make some kind of visual record of what they see that they can add to their reports. And finally, they should not bring anything to eat into the museum, or drinks of any kind. There are also a few things the students can do after the tour. In the theatre on the ground floor there are continuous screenings of short documentaries about dinosaurs which they can see any time.Q19&20We used to have an activity room with more interactive things like making models of dinosaurs and drawing and painting pictures, even hunting for dinosaur eggs, butunfortunately the room was damaged in a bad stormrecently when water came in the roof, so tha1's closed at the moment. But we do have an IT Centre where students have access to CD ROMs with a range of dinosaur games. Q19&20These games are a lot of fun, but they also teach the students about the lives of dinosaurs, how they found food, protected their habitat, survived threats, that kind of thing.And . . .I think that's all 1 have to tell you. Please feel free to ask any questions if you would like to know anything else.Section 3T: Right, Sandra. You wanted to see me to get some feedback on your group's proposal. The one you're submitting for the Geography society field trip competition. I've had a look through your proposal and I think it's a really good choice. In fact, I only have a few things to say about it, but even in an outline document like this you really have to be careful to avoid typos and problems with layout in the proposal, and even in the contents page. so read it through carefully before submitting it, okayS: Will do.T: And I've made a few notes on the proposal about things which could have been better sequencedQ2I.S: Okay.T: As for the writing itself, I’ve annotated the proposal as and where I thought it could be improved. Generally speaking, I feel you've often used complex structures and long sentences for the sake of it and as a consequence . . . although your paragraphing and inclusion of sub-headings help . . . it's quite hard to follow your train of thought at times. So cut them down a bit,can vouQ22S: ReallyT: Yes. And don't forget simple formatting like numbering.S: Didn't I use page numbersT: I didn't mean that. Look, you’ve remembered to include headers and footers, which is good, but listing ideas clearly is Number them or use bullet points, which is even clearer. Then you'll focus the reader on your main points. I thought your suggestion to go to the Navajo Tribal Park was a very good idea.S: I've always wanted to go there. My father was a great fan of cowboy films andthe Wild West so I was subjected to seeing all the epics, many of which were shot there. As a consequence,Q24 it feels very familiar to me and it's awesome both geographically and usually, so it's somewhere I've always wanted to The subsequent research I did and the online photographs made me even keener.T: Interesting. Right, let’s look at the cont ent of your proposal now.S: Did you find it comprehensive enoughT: Well, yes and no. You've listed several different topics on your contents page, but I'm not sure they're all relevant.S: No Well, I thought that from the perspective of a field trip, one thing I needed to focus on was the sandstone plateaux and cliffs the way they tower up from the flat landscape is just amazing. The fact that the surrounding softer rocks were eroded by wind and rain, leaving these huge outcrops high above the plain. It's hardly surprising that tourists flock to see the area.T: Well, yes, I’d agree e with including those points . . .S: And then the fact that it's been home to native American Navajos and all the social history that goes with that. The hardships they endured trying to save their territory from the invading settlers. Their culture is so rich - all those wonderfulstories.T: Well, I agree it's interesting, but it's not immediately relevant to your proposal, Sandra, so at this stage, I suggest you focus on other considerations.I think an indication of what the students on the trip could actually do when they get there should be far more centraI,Q25-27so that certainly needs to be included and to be expanded upon. And I'd like to see something about the local wildlife, and vegetation too, Q25-27not that I imagine there’s much to see. Presumably the tourist invasion hasn't helped.S: O kay, I ’II do some work on those two areas as well. But you're right, there's not much apart from some very shallow-rooted species. Although it's cold and snowy there in the winter, the earth is baked so hard in the summer sun that rainwater can't it’s a case of flood or drought, really.T: So, I understand. Now, before we look at everything in more detail, I’ve got few actual qu estions for you. It would be a good idea to include the answers in your finished proposal, because they're missing from your draft.S: Fine.T: so, you mentioned the monoliths and the spires, which was good, but what area does the tribal park cover Do you know S: I2,000 hectares,Q28 and the plain is at about 5,850 meters above sea level.T: Larger than I expected. Okay. Where's the nearest accommodation That's a practical detail that you haven't included. Have you done any research on thatS: Yes. There's nowhere to stay in the park itself, but there's an old trading post called Goulding quite near. AII kinds of tours start from Goulding, too.T: What kind of toursS: Well,the most popular are in four-wheel drive jeeps - but I wouldn't recommend hiring those. I think the best way to appreciate the area wouldn’t be to hire horsesQ29 instead and trek around on those. Biking is not allowed and it's impossible to drive around the area in private vehicles. The tracks are too rough.T: Okay, lastly, what else is worth visiting thereS: There are several caves, but I haven’t looked into any details. I'II find out about them.T: Okay, good. Now what I'd like to know is . . .Section 4So, welcome to your introductory geography lecture. We’ll begin with some basics. Firstly what do we learn by studying geographyWell, we learn a great deal about all the processes that have affected and that continue to affect the earth's we learn far more than that, because studying geography also informs us about the different kinds of relationships that develop between a particular environments Q32and the people that live there.Okay. We like to think of geography as having two main branches. There's the study of the natureof our planet - its physical features, what it actually looks like - and then there's the study of the ways in which we choose to live and of the impact Q33of those on our planet. Our current use of carbon fuels is a good example of that.But there are more specific study areas to consider too, and we’ll be looking a t each of these in turn throughout this semester. These include bio-physical geography, by which 1 mean the study of the natural environment and all its living things. Then there's topography- that looks at the shapes ofthe land and oceans. There's the study of political geography and social geography too, of course, which is the study of communities of people. We have economic geography - in which we examine all kinds of resources and their use - agriculture, for example. Next comes historical geography - the understanding of how people and their environments and the ways they interact have changed over a period of time -and urbanQ34geography, an aspect I'm particularly interested in, which takes as its focus the location of cities, the services that those cities provide, and migration of people to and from such cities. And lastly, we have cartography. That's the art and science of map- making. You'll be doing a lot of that!So, to summarize before we continue, we now have our key answer . . . studying this subject is important because without geographical knowledge, we would know very little about our surroundings and we wouldn't be able to identify all the problemsQ35that relate to them. so, by definition, we wouldn't be in an informed position to work out how to solve any of them.Okay, now for some practicalities. What do geographers actually do Well, we collect data to begin with! You’ll be doing a lot of that on your first field trip! How do we do this There are several means. We might, for example, conduct a census - count a population in a given area perhaps. We also need image Q36 of the earth's surface which we can produce by means of computer-generation technology or with the help of satellite relays. We've come a very long way from the early exploration of the world by sailing ships when geographers only had pens and paper at their disposal.After we've gathered our information, we must analyse it! We need to look for pattern,Q37 most commonly those of causesand consequences. This kind of information helps us to predict and resolve problems that could affect the world we live in.But we don't keep all this information confidential. We then need to publish our findings so that other people can access it and be informed by it .And one way in which this information can be published is in the form of maps. You'll all have used one at some stage of your life already.Let's consider the benefits of maps from a geographer's perspective.Maps can be folded and put in a pocket and can provide a great store of reference when they're collected into an atlas. They can depict the physical features of the entire planet if necessary, or, just a small part of it in much greater detail.But there is a drawback. You can't exactly replicate something that is three-dimensional, like our planet, on a map at piece of paper, because paper has only two dimensions, and that means there’ll always be a certain degree of distortionQ38 a map. It can't be avoided.We can also use aerial photographs . . . pictures taken by cameras at high altitude above the earth. These are great for showing all kinds of geographical features that are not easy to see from the ground. You can easily illustrate areas of diseased trees or how much traffic Q39 is on the roads at a given time or information about deep sea beds, for example.Then there are Landsats. These are satellites that circle the earth and transmit visual information to computers at receiving stations. They circle the earth several times a day and can provide a mass of information –you’ll all be familiar with the information they give us about the weatherQ40 for example. So, what we're going to do now is look at a short presentation in which you'IIsee all these tools.. .。

剑桥12 test 2 section 1Good morning, Kenton Festival box office. How can I help you?Oh, good morning. I'm coming to Kenton for a few days' holiday next month, and a friend told me there's a festival.She gave me this number to find out about it.That's right. The festival begins on the 16th of May and goes on till the 19th.Oh, that's great. I'll be there from the 15th till the 19th.So could you tell me the programme, please?Well, on the first day, there's the opening ceremony, in the town centre.People start gathering around 2 o'clock, to get good place to see from, and the events will start at 2:45, and finish about 5:30.OK, thanks. I'll make sure I get there early to get s good spot.The festival will be officially opened by the mayor.He'll just speak for a few minutes, welcoming everyone to the festival.All the town councillors will be there, and of course lots of other people. Right.Then there'll be a performance by a band.Most years we have a children's choir, but this year the local army cadets offered to perform, and they're very good. Uhuh.After that, a community group from the town will perform a play they've written themselves, just a short one.It's about Helen Tungate. I don't know if you've heard of her.I certainly have. She was a scientist years ago.That's right. She was born in Kenton exactly 100 years ago, so we're celebrating her centenary.I'm a biologist, so I've always been interested in her. I didn't realise she came from Kenton. Yes. Well, all that will take place in the afternoon, and later, as the sun sets, there'll be a firework display.You should go to the park to watch, as you'll get the best view from there, and the display takes place on the opposite side of the river.It's always one of the most popular events in the festival.Sounds great.And what's happening on the other days?There are several events that go on the whole time.For example, the students of the art college have produced a number of videos,all connected with relationships between children and their grandparents.That sounds interesting. It makes a change from children and parents, doesn't it!Exactly. Because the art college is in use for classes, throughout the festival, the videos are being shown in Handsworth House.How do you spell the name?H-A-N-D-S-W-0-R-T-H.Handsworth House. It's close to the Town Hall. Right.Now let me see, what else can I tell you about?Are there any displays of ballet dancing?I'm particularly interested in that as I do it as a hobby.There isn't any ballet, I'm afraid, but there'll be a demonstration of traditional dances from all around the country.Oh, that'd be nice. Where's that being held?It's in the market in the town centre - the outdoor one, not the covered market.And it's on at 2 and 5 every afternoon of the festival, apart from the first day.Lovely. I'm interested in all kinds of dancing, so I'm sure I'll enjoy that!Mmm. I'm sure you will.And I'd really like to go to some concerts, if there are any.Yes, there are several.Three performed by professionals, and one by local children.And where is it being held?It's in the library, which is in Park Street. On the 18th, at 6:30 in the evening.I presume I'll need tickets for that.Yes, you can book online, or you can buy them when you arrive in Kenton,either at the festival box office, or from any shops displaying our logo in the windows.Well, I think that'll keep me busy for the whole of my stay in Kenton. Thank you so much for all your help.You're welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay. Thank you. Goodbye.剑桥12 test 2 section 2Right. I've now almost succeeded in finalising plans for our tour, so I'll bring you up to date with what I know.As you know, we're flying first to Munich, on Monday the 4th.The flight is at 11:30, so it's too early to have lunch at the airport.I suggest we meet there for coffee at 10, which should give us plenty of time for breakfast before we leave home.When we arrive in Munich, we'll be met at the airport by Claus Bauer.Claus works for a tour operator, and he'll look after us for the time we'll be in Germany.He's already liaised with the managers of the theatres we're going to visit,and he's also arranged for an officer of the National Theatre in Munich to show us round the theatre one afternoon during our stay.Now last time we discussed this trip, I didn't have the precise cost for hotel rooms, but now I have.The normal rate at the hotel where we're staying is 150 euros a night for a double room.I'd hoped to get that down to 120 euros, but in fact I've been able to negotiate a rate of 110. That'll be reflected in the final payment which you'll need to make by the end of this week. On Tuesday, the day after our arrival, I had hoped we could sit in on a rehearsal at one of the theatres,but unfortunately that's proved very difficult to arrange,so instead we'll have a coach trip to one of the amazing castles in the mountains south of Munich.On Tuesday evening, we'll all have dinner together in a restaurant near our hotel.From talking to you all about your preferences, it was clear that a typical local restaurant would be too meat-oriented for some of you.Some of you suggested an Italian restaurant, but I must confess that I decided to book Lebanese one,as we have plenty of opportunities to go to an Italian restaurant at home.On Wednesday afternoon the director of the play we're going to see that evening will talk to us at the theatre.She'll describe the whole process of producing a play, including how she chose the actors, and, as the play we're going to see is a modern one, how she worked with the playwright.Right. Now I'd just like to make a few points about the plays we're going to see,partly because it might influence your choice of clothes to take with you.The play we're seeing on Wednesday evening is a modern one, and we're going to the premiere,so it'll be quite a dressy occasion, though of course you don't have to dress formally.I gather it's rather a multimedia production, with amazing lighting effects and a soundtrack of electronic music,though unfortunately the playwright is ill and is unlikely to be able to attend.On Thursday we're seeing a play that was first performed last year,when it was commissioned to mark a hundred years since the birth in the town of awell-known scientist.We're going to see a revival of that production, which aroused a lot of interest.Friday's play will really make you think hard about what clothes to pack, as it'll be in the garden of a palace.It's a beautiful setting, but I'd better warn you, there won't be much protection from the wind. On Saturday we're going by coach to a theatre in another town, not far from Munich.This will be the opening of a drama festival, and the mayor and all the other dignitaries of the town will be attending.After the performance, the mayor is hosting a reception for all the audience,and there'll be a band playing traditional music of the region.And after having a day off on Sunday, our final play is on Monday,and it's in the stunning setting of the old Town Hall, which dates back to the 14th century. The performance marks the fifty years that the lead actor has been on stage,and the play is the one where he made his first professional appearance, all those years ago.And the day after that, we'll be flying back home. Now have you got any questions before I...剑桥12 test 2 section 3Oh good morning. You must be James. I'm Beth Cartwright - please call me Beth. Thank you.Now as this is your first tutorial since you started on the Scandinavian Studies course, I'd like to find out something about you.Why did you decide to take this course?Well, my mom is Danish, and although we always lived in England,she used to talk about her home a lot, and that made me want to visit Denmark.We hardly ever did, though - my mother usually went on her own.But whenever her relations or friends were in England they always came to see us.I see. So I assume you already speak Danish, one of the languages you'll be studying.I can get by when I talk to people, though I'm not terribly accurate.Now you probably know that you'll spend the third year of the course abroad.Have you had any thoughts about that?I'm really looking forward to it.And although Denmark seems the obvious place to go, because of my family connections,I'd love to spend the time in Iceland.Oh, I'm sure it can be arranged.Do you have any plans for when you graduate?A lot of students go on to take a master's degree.I think the four years of the undergraduate course will be enough for me.I'm interested in journalism, and I quite like the idea of moving to Scandinavia and writing for magazines.I'd find that more creative than translating, which I suppose most graduates do.OK.Now how are you finding the courses you're taking this term, James?Well. I'm really enjoying the one on Swedish cinema.That'll continue next term, but the one on Scandinavian literature that's running at the moment will be replaced by more specialised courses.Oh, and by the way, if you're interested in watching Danish television programmesthere's going to be a course on that the term after next.That sounds good.Have you started thinking about the literature paper that you have to write in the next few weeks?Yes, my first choice would be to do something on the Icelandic sagas.Hmm. The trouble with that is that a lot of people choose that topic, and it can be difficult to get hold of the books you'll need.Why not leave that for another time? Right.You might find modern novels or 19th century playwrights interesting.I've read or seen several plays in translation, so that would be a good idea.Fine. I'll put you down for that topic.Right. So what would you advise me to aim at in the paper?First I suggest you avoid taking one writer and going into a great deal of detail.That approach certainly has its place, but I think you first need to get an understanding of the literature in the context of the society in which it was produced who it was written for, how it was published, and so on.I also think that's more fruitful than placing it within the history of the genre.OK, that sounds reasonable.Could I ask for some advice about writing the paper I'm working on about the Vikings?I have to do that this week, and I'm a bit stuck.Of course. Have you decided yet what to write about?No, I haven't. There's so much that seems interesting - Viking settlement in other countries, trade, mythology...Well, what I suggest is that you read an assignment a student wrote last year, which is kept in the library.It's short and well focused, and I'm sure you'll find it helpful.I'll give you the details in a moment.Textbooks usually cover so many topics, it can be very difficult to choose just one.OK.I've got a DVD of the film about the Vikings that came out earlier this year.Should I watch that again?If it's the one I am thinking of, hmm, I'd ignore it - it's more fantasy than reality.But I've got a recording of a documentary that you should watch.It makes some interesting and provocative points, which I think will help you to focus your topic. Right. So then should I work out an outline?Yes. Just headings for different sections at this stage.And then you should start looking for suitable articles and books to draw on, and take notes which you organise according to those headings.I see. Then put short phrases and sentences as bullet points under each heading.Make sure that this skeleton makes sense and flows properly, before writing up the paper in full. OK. Thanks, that's very helpful.剑桥12 test 2 section 4Over the years, attitudes towards workers have changed considerably.After all, there was a time when workers had no rights at all, and laboured in appalling conditions.Conditions have improved a lot, but conflict in the workplace is still common.And human resources managers nowadays need to be able to deal with it when necessary. What is conflict in the workplace?Definitions vary, but I'm taking it to refer to a whole range of behaviours that the victim finds unacceptable,from minor, harmless arguments to - at the opposite extreme - physical violence.Much of this is covered by the term bullying,by which I mean one or more people behaving abusively or aggressively against another who is in a weaker position.Although all behaviour like this is a form of conflict, not all conflict can be described in these terms. As with all human behaviour, there are numerous reasons for it.But often it's caused by someone who feels the need to show their superiority over someone else, in order to, feel that they aren't at the lowest level in a hierarchy or a group of people. In some cases one person simply dislike the other on the basisthat the personality of one is in some way incompatible with that of the other person.A general habit of optimism in one person could make them intolerant of a colleague who's constantly pessimisticnot that that justifies treating them badly, of course.Some conflicts arise when people are more interested in promoting themselves and their team than in the company as a whole.These conflicts are called 'structural' and could come about, for example,when a sales team believe they are the only people in the business who do any useful work, and look down on behind-the-scenes administrators.Conflict obviously affects the individuals concerned - the situation is likely to be very stressful for victims,result in their absence from work, possibly for months.For the company, if no effort is made to deal with conflict, it can spiral out of control, and even lead to the breakdown of the business.Some interesting work with chief executives - CEOs - has uncovered some of the reasons why they may treat colleagues badly.Many CEOs combine two opposing characteristics: confidence - that is, the belief thatthey're capable of great achievements with a high level of anxiety, a fear of missing targets, whether set by themselves or by the directors of the company.This combination can make them respond badly to anyone who questions their decisions.In a high pressure work environment, such characteristics become problematic.And it's particularly difficult to tackle the situation where colleagues,managers and board members are all trying to achieve their own visions.When they can't agree on strategic issues and on where they see the business going, there are real problems.For managers at lower levels within the organisation, it might seem that an autocratic form of management where the chief executive gives orders and everyone else has to obey would see more conflict than others. Interestingly, though, a company with a more democratic business modelcan suffer more when uncertainty about who to report to leads to conflicting demands.Now I'll say a little about dealing with the type of conflict that has harmful effects.Of course the idea is to prevent it arising in the first place.A good manager, at any level, will make efforts to earn the respect of the people they work with, particularly those who report to them.That will involve politeness in all communications, and treating them as equals who happen to have a different role within the organisation.Sometimes, of course, conflict does occur, and can get out of hand.In such cases the human resources department often gets involved.However, if one of the parties in a conflict sees human resources as simply a mouthpiece for the chief executive,then an external mediator might be able to help.By talking to both sides, and trying to find the truth of what's been happening,they can build a clear picture of the situation, and give feedback that both sides will accept, precisely because they're independent.。

I've seen your advert for people to lead cycle trips.Are you the right person to speak to?Yes, I am. Could I have your name, please?It's Margaret Smith.Are you looking for a permanent job, Margaret?No, temporary.I've got a permanent job starting in a few months' time, and I want to do something else until then.What work do you do?This will probably sound crazy - I used to be a lawyer, and then I made a complete career change and I'm going to be a doctor.I've just finished my training.Right. And have you had any experience of leading cycle trips?Yes, I've led several bike tours in Africa.The trip to India that I had arranged to lead next month has now been cancelled, so when I saw you were advertising for tour leaders, I decided to apply.we normally have two or three leaders on a trip, depending on the size of the group.Some tours are for very experienced cyclists, but we've got a tour coming up soon in Spain,which is proving so popular we need an additional leader.It's a cycling holiday for families. Would that suit you?It certainly would. I enjoy working with children,and I probably need some more experience before I go on a really challenging trip.That tour includes several teenagers: have you worked with that age group before?Yes, I'm a volunteer worker in a youth club, where I help people to improve their cycling skills.Before that I helped out in a cycling club where I taught beginners. Wellthat's great.Now the trip I mentioned is just for a fortnight, but there might be the possibility of leading other tours after that.Would that fit in with your plans?That'd be fine. I'll be free for five months.My job is due to start on October the 2nd, and I'm available from May the 1st until late September.Good. Now Is there anything I need to know about the food you eat?We usually have one or two people in the group who don't eat meat, or have some sort of food allergy,so we're always very careful about that.Yes, I'm allergic to cheese. Would that be a problem?No, as long as we have enough notice, we can deal with that. That's great.It sounds really interesting - would you like me to fill in an application form? Yes, please. Where should I post it to?Could you send it to 27 Arbuthnot Place — A-R-B-U-T-H-N-0-T-place, Dumfries. And what's the postcode, please DG74PH.Was that P Papa or B Bravo P Papa.Got that. If you could return the application form by Friday this week, we can interview you on Tuesday next week.Say half past two, would that be possible for you?Yes, it's fine. You're quite a long way from where I live, so I'll drive over on Monday.Should I bring anything to the interview?We'll have your application form, of course,but we'll need to see any certificate you've got that are relevant, in cycling, first aid, or whatever. OK.And at the interview we'd like to find out about your experience of being a tour guide,so could you prepare a ten-minute talk about that, please?You don't need slides or any complicated equipment - just some notes.Right. I'll start thinking about that straightaway.Good. Well, we'll look forward to receiving your application form, and we'll contact you to confirm the interview.Thanks very much. Thank you, Margaret. Goodbye. Bye.12-4-2Welcome to this podcast about the Sheepmarket, which is one of the oldest parts of the city.As its name suggests, there was originally a market here where farmers brought their sheep,but now it's been redeveloped into a buzzing, vibrant area of the city,which is also home to one of the city's fastest-growing communities.The nearby university has always meant the area's popular with students, who come in to enjoy the lively nightlife,but now graduates embarking on careers in the worlds of fashion and design are buying up the new apartments recently built hereto replace the small houses where the market workers used to live.The narrow old side streets are great places for finding original pictures, jewellery and ceramics which won't break the bank, as well as local producelike fruit and vegetables.There's also lots of pavement cafes where you can have a coffee and watch tourists from all over the world go by.The oldest buildings in the area are on the main streets, including the city's first department store, built in the 1880s, which is still open today.The Sheepmarket is a centre for fashion, and there's a policy of encouraging new young designers.The Young Fashion competition is open to local young people who are passionate about fashion.This year they've been asked to design an outfit based on the ideas from the music and technologythat's part of their everyday life, using both natural and man-made fibres. The garments will be judged by a panel of experts and fashion designers,and the winning entries will be modelled at a special gala evening.Parking at the Sheepmarket is easy.There are plenty of pay and display car parking spaces on the roadsides which are fine if you just want to stay for an hour or two,but if you want to spend the day there it's better to park in one of the four underground car parks.It's not expensive and if you can present a receipt from one of the local stores, you'll not be charged at all.After six pm many of the car parks have a flat rate which varies but it is usually very reasonable.The Sheepmarket is one of the main centres for art and history in the whole of the country.If you look at our map, you'll see some of the main attractions there.Most visitors start from Crawley Road, at the bottom of the map.The Reynolds House is one of the oldest houses in the city, and is open to the public.It's on the north side of Crawley Road, next to the footpath that leads to the public gardens.The area's particularly interesting for its unusual sculptures.'The Thumb' is just what its name suggests, but it's about 10 metres high.You'll see it on Hill Road, across the road from the Bank.The Museum's got a particularly fine collection of New Zealand landscapes.It's on the east side of the Sheepmarket, on City Road.It's on the other side of the road from the public gardens, immediately facing the junction with Hill Road.The Contemporary Art Gallery is on a little road that leads off Station Square, not far from the public gardens.The road ends at the gallery - it doesn't go anywhere else.That's open every day except Mondays.The Warner Gallery specialises in 19th-century art.It's on City Road, near the junction with Crawley Road, on the same side of the road as the public gardens.It's open on weekdays from 9 to 5, and entry is free.Finally, if you're interested in purchasing high quality artwork, the place to go is Nucleus.You need to go from Crawley Road up through Station Square and east along Hill Road until you get to a small winding road turning off.Go up there and it's on your right - if you get to City Road you've gone too far.12-4-3Joe, you know I'm giving a presentation in our film studies class next week Yes. Well, could we discuss it I could do with getting someone else's opinion.Of course, Katie. What are you going to talk about?It's about film adaptations of Shakespeare's plays.I've got very interested in all the different approaches that film directors take. Uhuh.So I thought I'd start with Giannetti, who's a professor of film and literature, and in one of his books he came up with a straightforward classification offilm adaptations based on how faithful they are to the original plays and novels.Right. I've already made some notes on that, so I just need to sort those out before the presentation.I thought that next I'd ask the class to come up with the worst examples of Shakespeare adaptations that they've seen, and to say why.That should be more fun than having their favourite versions.Yes, I can certainly think of a couple!Right. Next I want to talk about Rachel Malchow.I came across something on the internet about her work on film adaptations, and I was thinking of showing some film clips to illustrate her ideas.Will you have enough time, though Both to prepare and during the presentationAfter all, I doubt if you'll be able to find all the clips you want.Hmm. Perhaps you're right.OK, well, I'd better do some slides instead, saying how various films relate to what she says.That should encourage discussion. Mmm.Next I want to say something about how plays may be chosen for adaptation because they're concerned with issues of the time when the film is made.You mean things like patriotism, or the role of governments?Exactly. It's quite tricky, but I've got a few ideas I'd like to discuss.And finally I want to talk about a few adaptations that I think illustrate a range of approaches, and make some comments on them.Do you know the Japanese film Ran?I haven't seen it. It was based on Shakespeare's King Lear, wasn't it?That's right. It was a very loose adaptation, using the same situation and story, but moving it to 16th century Japan instead of 16th century Britain.So for example the king's daughters become sons, because in Japanese culture at that time, women couldn't succeed to the throne.hope you're going to talk about that 1993 film of Much Ado About Nothing.I think that's one of the best Shakespeare films.It really brings the play to life, doesn't it?Yes, I agree. And I think filming it in Italy, where the play is set, makes you see what life was like at the time of the play.Absolutely. Right, what's next?Er, next, I thought Romeo And Juliet, the 1996 film, which moves the actioninto the present day.Yes, it worked really well, I thought -changing the two feuding families in the original to two competing business empires,even though they're speaking in the English of the original play.You'd expect it would sound really bizarre, but I found I soon got used to it. Me too. Then I thought I'd include a real Hollywood film, one that's intended to appeal to a mass commercial audience.There must be quite a number of those.Yes, but I've picked the 1996 film of Hamlet.It included every line of the text, but it's more like a typical action hero moviethere are loads of special effects, but no unifying interpretation of the play. All show and no substance.Exactly. Then there's Prospero's Books, based on The Tempest.That was really innovative, from a stylistic point of view.Didn't it include dance and singing and animation, as well as live actors? Yes, it did. I also want to mention Looking for Richard. Did you ever see it? No, but I've read about it.It was a blend of documentary with a few scenes from Richard III, wasn't it? That's right. It's more a way of looking into how people nowadays connect with the playwright - the play is really just the starting point.And that'll be where I finish.Well, it sounds as though it'll be very interesting.12-4-4This lecture will be about the science of acoustics, the study of sound, in relation to urban environments such as cities.As an acoustic engineer myself, I think this is an area where we're likely to see greatchanges.In the past, researching urban soundscapes was simple.We measured levels of sound in decibels, so I used to take my sound meter and I measured the noise somewhere,and then I might ask a sample of people to say at what level the sound became annoying.With data like this, acoustic engineers have been able to build up what we call noise maps, maps of the sound environment.But actually these aren't a lot of use.What they do show is that the highest noise levels are generally on roads - well, that's not really very surprising.But there's quite a lot going on that these maps don't show, because they can't capture the complex way that sound varies over time.So they ignore important issues such as the noise someone might hear from the open windows or gardens of their neighbours,and this sort of noise can be quite significant in summer.We don't have any databases on this sort of information.As well as that, these records of sound levels take no account of the fact that people vary in their perceptions of noiseso someone like me with years of working in acoustics might be very different from you in that regard.But anyway, even though these noise maps are fairly crude,they've been useful in providing information and raising awareness that noise matters,we need to deal with it and so it's a political matter.And that's important - we need rules and regulations because noise can causeall sorts of problems.Those of you who are city-dwellers know that things go on 24 hours a day, so city-dwellers oftensuffer from interrupted sleep.It's also known that noise can lead to a rise in levels of stress,due to physical changes in the body affecting the composition of the blood.And there are other problems as well, for instance if schoolchildren don't have a quiet place to study, their work will suffer.Now one problem with decibel measurement is that it doesn't differentiate between different types of noise.Some types of sounds that most people would probably think of as nice and relaxing might well score quite highly in decibel levelsthink of the sound made by a fountain in a town square, for example.That's not necessarily something that we'd want to control or reduce.So maybe researchers should consider these sorts of sounds in urban design.This is going to be tricky because just measuring decibel levels isn't going to help us here.Instead, many researchers are using social science techniques,studying people's emotional response to sound by using questionnaires and so on. So what exactly do people want to hear in an urban environment?Some recent interdisciplinary research has come out with results that at first sight seem contradictorya city needs to have a sense of activity, so it needs to be lively,with sounds like the clack of high heels on a pavement or the hiss of a coffee machine,but these mustn't be too intrusive, because at the same time we need to be able to relax.One of the major problems in achieving this will be getting architects and town planners to use the research.Apart from studying the basics of acoustics, these people receive very little training in this area.But in fact they should be regarding sound as an opportunity to add to the experience of urban living,whereas at present they tend to see it as something to be avoided or reduced as far as possible,or something that's just a job for engineers like the street drainage system.What's needed is for noise in cities to be regarded as an aesthetic quality, as something that has the qualities of an art form.If we acknowledge this, then we urgently need to know what governs it and how designers can work with it.We need to develop a complex understanding of many factors.What is the relationship between sound and culture?What can we learn from disciplines such as psychology about the way that sound interacts with human development and social relationships,and the way that sound affects our thought and feelings?Can we learn anything from physics about the nature of sound itself?Today's powerful technologies can also help us.To show us their ideas and help us to imagine the effect their buildings will have,architects and town planners already use virtual reality - but these programs are silent.In the future such programs could use realistic sounds, meaning that soundscapes could be explored before being built.So hopefully, using the best technology we can lay our hands on, the city of the future will be a pleasure to the ears as well as the eyes.感谢阅读，欢迎大家下载使用！。

It’s nice to see many people in the audience . For those of you who don’t know very much about PS Camping , let me start by giving you some background information about the company.The company started twenty-five years ago. It actually opened as a retail chain selling camping equipment and then twenty years ago, it bought a small number of campsites in the UK ,and began offering camping holidays. The company grew rapidly and has been providing holidays in continental Europe for the last fifteen years.If you book a camping holiday with us, you’ll have a choice of over three hundred sites. In Italy we now have some 64 sites that we either own, or have exclusive use of France is where we have the majority of sites, and we currently have a project to expand into Switzerland. We also have a number of sites in Northern Spain, particularly in the mountainous region of picos de Europa. W e’ve upgraded all these Spanish sites, and improved them considerably from their original three-star ratingWe believe our holidays offer superb facilities for the whole family. Parents who want their children to be fully occupied for all or part of the day can take advantage of our children’s activities. These are organised by our well-qualified and enthusiastic staff. Each day kicksoff a sports match, perhaps football, or volleyball, followed by an hour of drama for everyone. This may include singing or dancing, mime or other activities. In the afternoon, there’s a different art activity for each day of the week including a poster competition or model making. What’s more, our sites are truly child-friendly, and, with this in mind, we operate a no-noise ru le in the evenings. Children’s evening activities usually finish at 9:30, or occasionally 10, and from 10:30 holiday-makers are expected to be quiet in the areas where there are tents.We want nothing to go wrong on a PS Camping holiday, but if it does, we also want all customers to be insured. If you haven’t organised an annual insurance policy of your own you’ll need to take out the low-cost cover we offer and we require that you arrange this when you take your holiday reservation.There are many advantages to choosing PS Camping, and to recommending it to others. As a regular customer. You’ll be kept informed of special offers. And your friends can benefit from ten per cent off their holiday, or book a luxury tent for the price of a standard one. In return, we’ll send you a thank-you present, which you can choose from a list of high-quality items.When it comes to our tents, these are equipped to the highest standard. We really do think of every essential detail, from an oven and cooking rings fuelled by bottled gas, to mirrors in the bedroom areas. If you don’t want to cook indoors, you can borrow a barbecue if you ask in advance for one to be made available, and there’s even a picnic blanket to sit on outside your tent. Inside, a bo x of games and toys can be found, and children’s tents can be hired if required, All tents have a fridge, and if you want to spend the day on the beach, for example, ask for a specially designed PS Camping cool box, which will keep your food and drinks chilled. There are excellent washing facilities at all our sites, with washing machines and clothes lines in the central areas, along with mops and buckets in case your tent needs cleaning during your stay. All sites have a cafe and/or a shop for those who’d rather ‘eat in’ than dine at a local restaurant.Section 3Tutor:Well, you’ve both been looking at different styles of managing individuals，in companies and the workplace. How’s the research going,philip?Philip:Well, I’ve been looking at why individualis m, I mean individual difference, are such an important area of management studies. When you think about any organization, be it a family business or a multinational company, they are all fundamentally a group of people working together. But it’s what these individuals contribute to their pleases of work that makes you realize how important they are. Of course they bring different ideas, but it’s also their attitudes and their experiences of learning. Diversity is important in these areas too. Tutor:So why do people behave so differently from one another at work?Philip:There are lots of reason but research has shown a lot of it comes down to personality. And the other factor is gender. It’s a well known fact that men and women do lots of things in different ways, and the workplace is no different.Tutor:Did you look at the effects of this variation on companies?Philip:Yes, I did. On the positive side, exposure to such diversity helps encourage creativity which is generally an asset to a company. But unfortunately individual difference are alsothe root of conflict between staff and they can lead to difficulties for management, which can sometimes be serious.**********************************************Tutor:Thanks,philip. So now I guess the two main things to remember here are to identify individual talent and then to utilize it. So Janice, you were looking at identifying different talents in workers Do you think this is easy for managers to do?Janice:Well,currently teamwork is in fashion in the workplace and in my opinion the importance of the individual is generally neglected. What managers should be targeting is those employees who can take the lead in a situation and are not afraid to accept the idea of responsibility.Tutor:That’s true. Janice but unf ortunately many managers think the entire notion of encouraging individuality amongst their staff is far too hard.Janice:Yes. That may be true but I think one of the most important tasks of managers is to consider the needs of the individual on one hand and group co-operation and conformity on the other. It requires creative thinking on the part of management to avoid tension.Tutor:So Janice, what kind of people do you think companies should be looking for? Janice Well, it has to start from the very beginning when companies are looking for new employees. When the personal department is choosing between applicants they need to look for someone who’s broken the mould and can think for themselves. Instead, people making these decisions often ues a range of psychological tests to see if a person is a problem solver, or will do as they’re told. I’m not convinced these qualities are actually the most important. Tutor:So do you think being a good team player is overrated?Janice No,it’s not overrated. You do need to learn the rules and learn them fast. No individual can get around this if you’re working in an organization.Tutor:So how should managers deal with this?Janice Rewards. When an individual demonstrates, the behaviour the organisation expects, some kind of incentive can be given. What’s important here is that this happens right at the beginning so new recruits learn the rules of the system immediately. Also the incentive should be something the individual actually wants, and this isn’t always just money。

Hello?你好？Oh, hello. I wanted to enquire about hiring a room in the Village Hall, for the evening of September the first.您好，我想问一下租用村务大厅的一间公共会议室的事宜，九月一日晚上要用。
Let me just see. . . Yes, we have both rooms available that evening.我看看......那天晚上我们的两个会议室都可以用。
There's our Main Hall-that's got seating for 200 people. Or there's the Charlton Room. . .一个是主厅，里面可容纳200个人。
另一间是Charlton会议室......Sorry?不好意思，您说的是什么会议室？The Charlton Room - C-H-A-R-l-T-0-N. That's got seating for up to one hundred.Charlton会议室，名字拼写是C-H-A-R-l-T-0-N。
这间会议室最多可容纳100个人。
Well, we're organising a dinner to raise money for a charity, and we're hoping for at least 150 people, so I think we'll go for the Main Hall.我们要组织一个筹款的慈善晚宴，预期至少会有150个人出席，所以我想我们还是定主厅吧。
How much would that cost?租用主厅要花多少钱？Let's see. You wanted it for the evening of September 1st?看看哈，你想要九月一日晚上用是吧？Yes, that's a Saturday.对，是个星期六。
So from 6 p. m. to midnight that'd be ￡115-that's the weekend price, it's ￡75 on weekdays.从晚上6点到12点是115英镑，这是周末的价格，工作日租用的话只要75英镑。
That's all right.可以。
And I have to tell you there's also a deposit of ￡250, which is returnable of course as long as there's no damage.还有，你还要交个250英镑的押金，当然了，只要主厅没有出现什么破损，就会把押金退还给你的。
But we do insist that this is paid in cash, we don't take cards for that.但是我们押金只收现金，不能刷卡。
You can pay the actual rent of the room however you like though - cash, credit card, cheque. . . 实际租金随便怎么支付都可以，现金、刷卡、支票......都没问题。
Oh, well I suppose that's OK. So does the charge include use of tables and chairs and so on? 嗯，我觉得应该没问题。
你们收取的租金里面包括了使用桌椅之类的费用吗？Oh, yes. - And what about parking?包括了的。
-停车费呢？Yeah that's all included.都包含在内了。
The only thing that isn't included is that. . . you said you were organising a dinner?唯一一个没有包括的是......你刚才说你们要筹备一个晚宴？Yeah.是的。
Well, you'll have to pay extra for the kitchen if you want to use that. It's ￡25.那如果你们要使用厨房的话，还要额外支付25英镑。
It's got very good facilities —good quality cookers and fridges and so on.厨房里的设备都很棒，有质量很好的厨具，还有冰箱等等。
OK, well I suppose that's all right.好的，我想应该没关系。
We can cover the cost in our entry charges.我们可以把这个费用分摊到入场费里。
Right. So I'll make a note of that.好的，我把这个记下来。
Now there are just one or two things you need to think about before the event.那么现在，在你们举行活动之前还有一两件事情需要考虑。
For example, you'll have to see about getting a licence if you're planning to have any music during the meal.比如，如果你们打算在晚宴期间来点音乐的话，要着手申请一个许可证。
Oh, really?真的吗？It's quite straightforward, I'll give you the details later on.那很简单的，我稍后把详细信息告诉你。
And about a week or ten days before your event you'll need to contact the caretaker, that's Mr Evans, to make the arrangements for entry- he'Il sort that out with you.另外，在活动开始前一个周或者十天左右，你需要跟管理员Mr. Evans联系，一起安排一下入场事宜。
他会跟你一起搞定的。
And do I give him the payment as well?我要付钱给他吗？No, you do that directly with me.不，你直接把钱给我。
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.在播放剩下的录音之前，你有一些时间阅读问题7-10。
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.现在请听录音并回答问题7-10。
Right. Now is there anything I need to know about what happens during the event?好的。
那么在活动进行期间，我还有什么要注意的事情吗？Well, as you'll be aware, of course the building is no smoking throughout.嗯，你可能也会注意到，在整栋建筑里任何地方都不能吸烟。
Of course.没问题。
Now, are you having a band? -Yes.你们会请乐队吗？-是的。
Well, they'll have a lot of equipment, so rather than using the front door they should park their van round the back and use the stage door there.他们会有很多乐器和设备的，所以，他们要把车停在后面，通过后台的门进来，而不是从前门进来。
You can open that from inside but don't forget to lock it at the end.你可以从里面把后台的门打开，但是请别忘了结束之后把它锁上。
OK.好的。
And talking of bands, I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but you must make sure that no one fiddles about with the black box by the fire door-that's a system that cuts in when the volume reaches a certain level. It's a legal requirement.说到乐队，我相信不用讲你也知道，但我还是要强调一下。
