## 题目原文

00:00:01,840 
 Section one. 
 00:00:03,780 
 You will hear a man phoning to ask about a festival in a town called Beechen. 
 00:00:10,420 
 First, you have some time to look at questions one to six on page two. 
 00:00:45,880 
 You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. 
 00:00:58,400 
 Beechen Festival office. 
 00:01:00,140 
 Oh, hello. I want to check some details about the festival. I know tickets are running out fast, and I haven't got access to the Internet at present. My computer's down. 
 00:01:10,520 
 Okay. Well, the first activity is on 19th June at 7:00 PM, and it's a concert with local musicians performing. 
 00:01:19,220 
 Hmm, lovely. 
 00:01:23,600 
 The activity on 19th June is a concert, so concert has been written in the space. 
 00:01:32,600 
 Now we shall begin. 
 00:01:34,920 
 You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. 
 00:01:42,360 
 Listen carefully and answer questions one to six. 
 00:01:49,000 
 Beechen Festival office. 
 00:01:50,740 
 Oh, hello. I want to check some details about the festival. I know tickets are running out fast, and I haven't got access to the Internet at present. My computer's down. 
 00:02:01,120 
 Okay. Well, the first activity is on 19th June at 7:00 PM, and it's a concert with local musicians performing. 
 00:02:09,800 
 Hmm, lovely. Is it in the theater like last year? 
 00:02:13,320 
 Yes, that's right. And for the next activity on the 20th, the time's changed. 
 00:02:19,920 
 I- is that the tour? 
 00:02:21,140 
 Yes. Now, it does say on the tickets that it's a 3:40 start, but that's an error. There wasn't time to update them, unfortunately, so it should say 4:30 instead. The correct time is on the website, though. 
 00:02:35,300 
 Oh, right. Because one of my friends wants to go on that to see Beechen with an expert and find out about the town and its history. Does she need to get a ticket in advance? 
 00:02:45,520 
 No, just turn up at the station where the guide will be waiting. They'll start from there, and I think the plan is to stop for a break in the park, and there's no charge for the tour. And the tour will finish with a visit to the 16th century mill where they used to make flour. It's recently been restored. 
 00:03:03,380 
 Fine. 
 00:03:04,160 
 And then on the 21st, there's an all-day event for children. 
 00:03:07,900 
 Oh, that could be good for my visitors. They're bringing theirs, you see. 
 00:03:12,340 
 Right. Well, the plan was to have a painting competition for the kids, but it's now going to be cooking instead, and there'll be prizes for all the different age groups. 
 00:03:22,260 
 Oh, great. 
 00:03:23,220 
 And it's in Beechen Community Center. 
 00:03:25,700 
 Oh, yes. I know where that is. 
 00:03:27,600 
 They don't need to bring any ingredients, but they'll need to have a plate to put whatever they've made on so they can display it and then take it home. 
 00:03:35,660 
 Sounds good. And are they going ahead with the fireworks in the evening, or is that canceled? There was an article in the paper after last year's display which suggested it might not be happening again. 
 00:03:47,440 
 That's right. No, that's still on. It's getting more popular each year, and having it in the town square was starting to be a bit difficult because of the numbers, which is why it's next to the river this time. It'll be easy for large numbers of people to get to. 
 00:04:04,160 
 Yes, of course. I'm sure there's lots to look forward to. 
 00:04:11,200 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions seven to ten on page two. 
 00:04:38,860 
 Now listen and answer questions seven to ten. 
 00:04:45,440 
 Okay. Now, I just want to check how it's going to impact on me as a local resident. I mean, some people last year thought it was too noisy at night. 
 00:04:55,580 
 Yes, I know. And that's why this year, evening events won't go on beyond 11:15. I know previously some activities lasted until 11:45, and the new time applies now to all the events every evening. 
 00:05:10,660 
 Okay. 
 00:05:11,660 
 And another change, perhaps you know about this already, is that because of high visitor numbers, parking in the town center isn't going to be allowed. It'll be outside town. 
 00:05:22,460 
 Oh, yes. To keep the streets clear, I suppose, for all the visitors. I, I, I did know, actually, and it's not really going to be a problem for me. 
 00:05:31,040 
 Right. 
 00:05:32,040 
 I mean, I, I can just walk into town from my home. 
 00:05:34,960 
 Okay. Well, anyway, if you want to check any more details about the festival, once you're back online, you can look at www.events.com, and you'll be able to comment on what activities you enjoyed. And what would really help the organizers would be if people could use the website to give feedback about what they enjoyed and that kind of thing. This will help them plan for next year. 
 00:06:01,480 
 That's probably a good idea. And with pricing, I know local residents... 
 00:06:09,720 
 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
