## 题目原文

00:00:01,700 
 Now turn to section one on page two of your question booklet. 
 00:00:08,820 
 Section one. 
 00:00:13,120 
 You will hear a telephone conversation between a musician and a man working in a music agency. 
 00:00:20,300 
 First, you have some time to look at questions one to five on page two. 
 00:00:50,300 
 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. 
 00:01:02,160 
 Hello, Music Alive. How can I help you? 
 00:01:05,220 
 Hi, I've just moved to the area, and I saw your advert. I wanted to find out about your services. 
 00:01:11,820 
 Sure. What would you like to know? 
 00:01:13,800 
 Well, I've got a number of questions if that's okay. Have you got a few minutes? 
 00:01:18,680 
 Of course. 
 00:01:19,740 
 Can I make a note of your name? 
 00:01:21,800 
 Yes, I'm Jim. Jim Granley. 
 00:01:27,460 
 The man's name is Jim Granley, so Granley has been written in the space. 
 00:01:34,620 
 Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions one to five. 
 00:01:49,680 
 Hello, Music Alive. How can I help you? 
 00:01:52,780 
 Hi, I've just moved to the area, and I saw your advert. I wanted to find out about your services. 
 00:01:59,380 
 Sure. What would you like to know? 
 00:02:01,360 
 Well, I've got a number of questions if that's okay. Have you got a few minutes? 
 00:02:06,260 
 Of course. 
 00:02:07,300 
 Can I make a note of your name? 
 00:02:09,380 
 Yes, I'm Jim. Jim Granley. 
 00:02:11,820 
 Thanks. And do you represent every type of musician? Can you tell me a bit about that? 
 00:02:18,240 
 Well, we're basically a networking agency for musicians, but we don't actually find you work. We have all our members on our database, the type of music they play, and also we can put people in touch if they want to form a band, for example. 
 00:02:33,660 
 Is there a lot of live music here? 
 00:02:36,100 
 Yes, and venues contact us when they need musicians, et cetera. Uh, we deal with modern music, especially rock, which is what most people seem to enjoy around here. But we do also represent some jazz musicians. We don't accept classical music, I'm afraid. 
 00:02:52,320 
 No, that's fine. 
 00:02:53,800 
 What do you play? 
 00:02:55,120 
 Guitar and violin and a bit of flute. As I'm new here, I thought you could help me get in touch with people. 
 00:03:01,810 
 I see. Sure. We actually have a newsletter I could send you that would give you a good idea of what we do and how you can benefit from joining. The latest one came out this week. Would you like me to send you a copy? 
 00:03:14,980 
 That would be great. Is it weekly? 
 00:03:17,880 
 No, every month. Weekly would be too much work, I think. 
 00:03:21,720 
 Right. And what are the costs for joining and becoming a member? Is it expensive? I'm on a tight budget. 
 00:03:29,680 
 You and every other musician in the region. No, we do everything to keep costs down because we know what it's like. We're pretty much all musicians ourselves too. So to join is just 35 pounds, and that's a one-off payment. Oh, actually, that's the discounted rate for young musicians under 18. The standard rate is 45 pounds. 
 00:03:52,100 
 Unfortunately, I'm over 18. And how about joining? Can I join when I want? Now, for example. Or do you have a limit on numbers? 
 00:04:03,080 
 No, you can join anytime. We don't have a limit on the numbers of members we can have. The more, the merrier, in fact. Our membership's gone up recently from 700 to 750. 
 00:04:18,720 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten on page two. 
 00:04:38,120 
 Now listen and answer questions six to ten. 
 00:04:57,620 
 That's good. And your ad says you also have facilities there that musicians can use. Can you explain a bit about that? 
 00:05:06,100 
 Sure. Well, it's not huge, but we do have a couple of rooms where you can rehearse. They're soundproof, and we've just opened a studio, a small one, and it's already proving popular with bands that want to send demo tapes to venues and record labels. 
 00:05:22,360 
 Wow, that sounds brilliant. And is that free? Guess not. 
 00:05:28,240 
 No, that's extra. But we do have some free services. For example, we can offer legal advice if you need it for contracts and things like that. Pretty useful stuff, you know. 
 00:05:39,980 
 Great. So if I'm interested, what's the next step? How do I become a member? 
 00:05:46,580 
 Well, simple, really. Just send us a letter with your contact details and a recording made within the last couple of months. That'll give other members an idea of what you play. 
 00:05:57,800 
 And where are you based? 
 00:05:59,420 
 We're at 707 Kippax Street, Marbury. 
 00:06:03,500 
 How do you spell Kippax? 
 00:06:05,760 
 It's K-I-P-P-A-X. 
 00:06:08,920 
 And is there an email address? 
 00:06:11,140 
 Yes, it's music.talent@bsu.co.uk. 
 00:06:17,960 
 Talent as in the word? 
 00:06:19,680 
 Yes. 
 00:06:20,680 
 Right. 
 00:06:22,020 
 Just one last thing. 
 00:06:27,400 
 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
