Conversation Two

整体预测

本对话四道题选项中的Mr Gartner以及第13题选项均为时间、第14题选项均为人物和第15题选项均为职业表明，对话可能与不同的时间、人物（包括加特纳先生）和职业有关。

M：Err...Sandra，I’ve finished with Mr Gartner now.[12]/[15]Do you think you could pop through and bring me up to date on the arrangements for the Italian trip？

W：Certainly，Mr Wilkinson.I’ll bring everything with me.

M：[15]Right，take a seat.Now my first meeting is when？

W：Your first meeting is on Monday，21，at 9 a.m.with Dr Gucci of Bancos en Piedra in Milan.

M：OK.So can I fly out early Monday morning？

W：Well，there is a flight to Linate Airport which leaves at 6：30 London time and gets in at 8：30 Italian time.

M：Yeah，but that only leaves me thirty minutes to clear customs and get into the city center and it means I have to check in by 5：30，which means[13]leaving home at about 4：15.

W：I’m afraid so.

M：Hmm...not so keen on that.What’s the program for the rest of that day？

W：It’s quite full，I’m afraid.At eleven，you’re seeing Gianni Riva at Megastar and then[14]you’ll have a lunch engagement with Gavin from the Chamber of Commerce at one.

M：Where’s that？

W：You’re meeting him at his office and then he’s taking you somewhere.

M：Good，that sounds fine.What about the afternoon？

W：Well，at 3：30，[15]you’re seeing our sales representative there and then you’re free till the evening.

M：I see.I seem to remember that I’m having dinner with someone from Bergamo.

W：That’s right.And Mr Betty from SAP Industries at eight.

12.What would the man like the woman to do？

【解析】C）。对话开头，男士让女士过来并把去意大利旅行的安排告诉他。由此可知，男士想让女士告诉他在意大利的行程安排。对话开头内容容易成为考点，听音时应留意。C）是对男士的话的同义转述。

13.At what time is Mr Wilkinson going to leave home for the airport？

【解析】B）。对话中男士提到4：15就得从家里出发去机场。对话中女士和男士都提到了不同的时间，听音时注意记笔记。听清问题是解题的关键。

14.Who is Mr Wilkinson going to have lunch with on Monday？

【解析】D）。对话中女士说男士将与来自商会的加文共进午餐。其他三个选项中的人物在对话中都有提及，听音时注意记笔记。听清问题仍是解答本题的关键。

15.What is most probably the woman’s job？

【解析】A）。从对话开头的电话铃声可知，男士先是通过打电话让女士过来跟他说他去米兰的行程安排，从后来的开门声音和男士让女士坐下可知，女士面对面跟男士说了他的行程。由女士所回答的有关行程问题的详细程度以及女士说的“您将和我们的销售代表见面，之后一直到傍晚您就没有会议”可以推测，女士很可能是男士的秘书，而不是旅行社的职员。本题需要根据对话中的信息进行推断，除了对话内容之外，录音中的电话铃声和开门声对场景的判断很有帮助。
