## 题目原文

00:00:00,080 
 Section one. 
 00:00:02,080 
 You will hear a telephone conversation between a travel company employee and a customer. 
 00:00:09,120 
 First, you have some time to look at questions one to five. 
 00:00:21,440 
 You will see that there is an example which has been done for you. 
 00:00:43,780 
 On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. 
 00:00:53,440 
 Hello? 
 00:00:54,160 
 Hi, good morning. This is Talia from Parrot Bay Travel Agency. Is Robert Goddard there? 
 00:01:00,040 
 Yes, speaking. 
 00:01:03,920 
 The man says that he is Robert Goddard, so Robert Goddard has been written in the space. 
 00:01:13,400 
 Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. 
 00:01:22,720 
 Listen carefully and answer questions one to five. 
 00:01:30,060 
 Hello? 
 00:01:30,780 
 Hi, good morning. This is Talia from Parrot Bay Travel Agency. Is Robert Goddard there? 
 00:01:36,660 
 Yes, speaking. 
 00:01:38,380 
 I'm so sorry that I made such an early phone call, and I'm calling to ask a few questions about your most recent vacation. Could I have five minutes of your time? 
 00:01:47,600 
 Sure thing. 
 00:01:48,580 
 Great. Thanks. Now, I see here that you visited Melbourne. Was this your first visit to Melbourne? 
 00:01:54,260 
 No, I have actually been there twice before. 
 00:01:57,000 
 I see. Now, what would you say was your favorite part about Melbourne? 
 00:02:00,920 
 Well, I did like seeing the exotic wildlife, and there are great sights to see. But I have to say, I was most impressed by the amazing weather. 
 00:02:10,220 
 Yeah, the weather there is amazing. Which of the sights listed as part of our official tour did you see? And of those, which was your favorite? 
 00:02:19,900 
 First, I saw the theater, which was beautifully designed. It was not nearly as cool as the Town Hall, though. The building is a huge part of Melbourne's history. Definitely my favorite. I saw the aquarium too, but wasn't too impressed. 
 00:02:35,160 
 I see. Yes, people often have great reviews of Town Hall. Now, I would like to ask you about your dining experience. Did you enjoy the food there? 
 00:02:45,000 
 Absolutely. I loved it. 
 00:02:47,020 
 I'm glad to hear it. Could you tell me a little bit about what you most enjoyed about the food? 
 00:02:52,420 
 Being such an international city, I loved the variety. I could find any type of food I wanted, whether I wanted seafood, burgers or anything else. You name it, and they had it. 
 00:03:03,960 
 Did you drive to Melbourne? 
 00:03:05,920 
 No, I flew. I thought about going by train, but in the interest of time, I decided to go by plane. 
 00:03:13,000 
 Right, I see. 
 00:03:17,260 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten. Now listen and answer questions six to ten. 
 00:03:50,080 
 And would you mind telling me whether you are under 20, between the ages of 20 and 40, or older than 40? 
 00:03:57,940 
 Uh, it would be nice if I was still under 20. My vacation probably would have been quite different. Actually, though, I just turned 41 last week. 
 00:04:09,860 
 Oh, happy birthday. So did you treat yourself and fly first class? 
 00:04:14,780 
 No way. I would love to have a budget that high. I'm more in the mid-range income level. I wasn't always, though. I spent much of my life in a low income household. 
 00:04:27,620 
 I see. That answers my next question then of income level. And what was the purpose of this visit? 
 00:04:34,580 
 I had to go there on business a lot before and decided I would go there for tourism this time. 
 00:04:40,380 
 I see. And what is your occupation? 
 00:04:43,280 
 I am mainly a computer programmer. I also write for a travel magazine on the side, which is why I visited Melbourne before, but it's not my main source of income. 
 00:04:54,220 
 I see. Wow, it sounds like you work a lot. 
 00:04:57,780 
 Yes, I am very busy, which is exactly why I took a nice week-long vacation to Melbourne. 
 00:05:04,320 
 I completely agree. Would you care to comment on your accommodation? 
 00:05:08,960 
 My hotel was a good value. Staying in the city can get really expensive, so it was nice to find such a good price for the location and quality. I'm glad I didn't end up in some cheap motel in the middle of nowhere. 
 00:05:23,120 
 I'm glad you didn't either. Well, thank you for taking part in our survey, and I'm glad you enjoyed your vacation. 
 00:05:29,840 
 No problem. Take care. 
 00:05:34,080 
 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
