I'd like to begin with a few general points before we move on to the layout of the sale grounds. In earlier years, the Hamilton Car Sale attracted around nine hundred and fifty people each week, but that figure belongs to the past. At present, the number has grown to approximately one thousand five hundred visitors weekly, showing how popular the event has become. In fact, if the trend continues, we expect attendance to rise by another five hundred people next year. Now turning to the matter of fees. The entry fee varies depending on the type of vehicle, with certain categories charged at a higher rate. Of course, there is also a separate fee for sellers, which is set differently from what buyers pay, so it's not the same for both groups. And while some people assume the cost somehow links back to whether or not the vehicle is successfully sold, that's not the case here. Another important rule concerns information displayed on the vehicles. Every vehicle that comes onto the grounds is expected to display the proper information. Some people think it's enough to put a sticker showing the price, but that doesn't meet the regulations. Others simply attach a for sale sign, yet that alone isn't acceptable either. What's actually required is a full detail sheet placed on the vehicle, so buyers can see all the essential information at a glance. Alongside that, you'll also hear about the information report. Visitors sometimes assume this is mainly about the status of the vehicle, but that isn't what it's for. Its real purpose is to confirm that the car is genuinely owned by the person offering it for sale, giving buyers peace of mind. Some also believe it lists how many previous owners a vehicle has had, yet that's not part of the document. Finally, a word of advice for anyone completing a sale. The main piece of guidance we give is that once you've successfully sold your vehicle, you should take steps right away to record the transfer of ownership, so the legal responsibility clearly passes to the new driver. We strongly advise people not to accompany a buyer on a test drive, since that can raise issues of liability. And while some assume the key point is about collecting the money- 00:02:08,180 So you can find your way around the grounds. 00:02:11,440 To reach the section reserved for cars priced under five thousand dollars, start at the main entrance and walk directly north along the central path. After reaching the end of this street, you'll need to make a left turn. Keep following this route, and as you go, pay attention to the surroundings. 00:02:31,300 Just before you come to the trees area, you'll notice the lot for budget cars clearly marked on your right-hand side. That's the place where all vehicles under five thousand dollars are displayed. 00:02:43,780 To find the section for cars in the five to ten thousand dollar range, begin once again at the main entrance and head north along the main pathway. 00:02:53,600 Keep walking until you notice an office building on your left-hand side, which is the point where you need to turn left. 00:03:00,980 From there, simply continue straight ahead in the same direction. 00:03:05,860 As you approach the river at the edge of the grounds, the area for vehicles in this price range will come into view right in front of you. 00:03:14,340 To reach the display area for cars priced over ten thousand dollars, start once again from the main entrance and walk straight ahead along the central route. Continue on this path until you come across the office building directly ahead of you. Opposite the office, you'll notice a short side road leading away from the main path. Take this road and follow it straight through to the very end, where the section for higher-priced vehicles is clearly set out. 00:03:45,520 To locate the section for caravans, look carefully towards the northwest corner of the grounds. It's positioned just beneath the bridge that crosses New North Road, making it very easy to identify. 00:03:59,090 This spot is also right next to the north gate. So if you approach from there, you'll find the caravans area almost immediately. 00:04:08,560 To find the section set aside for motorbikes, begin at the main entrance and head directly north, continuing straight all the way to the end of the central path. 00:04:20,060 When you reach the far side, make a right turn. As you follow this road, keep an eye to your right-hand side because the motorbike area is located partway along, right in the middle of that stretch of road. 00:04:35,090 That brings us to the end of the overview. I hope this guide will help you navigate the Hamilton Car Sale more easily and make the most of your visit. ## 题目与答案 ### 11. 11 These days how many people come to buy a car each week? 11 These days how many people come to buy a car each week? - 500 - 950 - 1500 **答案**：1500 原文定位：At present, the number has grown to approximately one thousand five hundred visitors weekly 同义替换：「These days」↔「At present」；「how many people come to buy a car each week」↔「visitors weekly」 ### 12. 12 The official says the entry fee is 12 The official says the entry fee is - higher for some types of vehicles - the same for buyers and sellers - refunded if the vehicle is sold **答案**：higher for some types of vehicles 原文定位：The entry fee varies depending on the type of vehicle, with certain categories charged at a higher rate 同义替换：「higher for some types of vehicles」↔「certain categories charged at a higher rate」 ### 13. 13 What must each vehicle display? 13 What must each vehicle display? - a price sticker - a details sheet - a 'for sale' sign **答案**：a details sheet 原文定位：What's actually required is a full detail sheet placed on the vehicle 同义替换：「must each vehicle display」↔「placed on the vehicle」 ### 14. 14 What does an ‘information report' show? 14 What does an ‘information report' show? - whether the vehicle is licensed - that the vehicle belongs to the seller - how many owners a vehicle has had **答案**：that the vehicle belongs to the seller 原文定位：Its real purpose is to confirm that the car is genuinely owned by the person offering it for sale 同义替换：「shows that the vehicle belongs to the seller」↔「confirm that the car is owned by the person offering it for salewhether the vehicle is licensed」 ### 15. 15 What advice does the official give to people who find a buyer for their car? 15 What advice does the official give to people who find a buyer for their car? - go with the buyer on a test drive - collect payment for the car immediately - record the change of ownership as soon as possible **答案**：record the change of ownership as soon as possible 原文定位：The main piece of guidance we give is that once you've successfully sold your vehicle, you should take steps right away to record the transfer of ownership 同义替换：「find a buyer for their car」↔「successfully sold your vehicle」；「record the change of ownership as soon as possible」↔「take steps right away to record the transfer of ownership」 ### 16.
