First, you have some time to look at questions one to six on page two. 00:00:40,460 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. 00:00:52,060 Hello. 00:00:53,240 Hello, Rob. Margaret here. I'm just calling about the arrangements for Dad's eightieth birthday party. 00:00:59,580 Right. I've rung around the rest of the family. Most people do intend to come, even though it's a long journey. Have you made any progress with the venue? 00:01:09,560 Yes. There are three possible hotels we could use for the party: the Royal, the Star, and the Winchester. 00:01:17,000 Oh, good. If we can make a decision now, you can probably book straight away on the Internet, can't you? 00:01:22,980 Well, only the Star. I'd have to make a telephone booking at the others, but that'd be okay too. 00:01:32,340 The only hotel that takes online bookings is the Star Hotel, so the letter B has been written in the space. 00:01:41,260 Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time. 00:01:49,180 Listen carefully and answer questions one to six. 00:01:55,620 Hello. 00:01:56,760 Hello, Rob. Margaret here. I'm just calling about the arrangements for Dad's eightieth birthday party. 00:02:03,100 Right. I've rung around the rest of the family. Most people do intend to come, even though it's a long journey. Have you made any progress with the venue? 00:02:13,060 Yes. There are three possible hotels we could use for the party: the Royal, the Star, and the Winchester. 00:02:20,560 Oh, good. If we can make a decision now, you can probably book straight away on the Internet, can't you? 00:02:26,560 Well, only the Star. I'd have to make a telephone booking at the others, but that'd be okay, too. 00:02:32,680 Okay. So which one do you think? 00:02:35,880 I'm not sure. They're all fairly suitable, and they're in really nice locations. The Star looks right out over the bay. It's on a cliff top. Then the Winchester is in lovely countryside, too. 00:02:49,660 Yes. It's in the valley, isn't it? 00:02:52,300 Yes. 00:02:53,380 What about Mom's wheelchair? How easy would it be for her to get in and out of these places? 00:02:59,480 Well, I know that the Winchester would be fine, and the Star because I've been there with her before. I wasn't sure about the Royal because I seemed to remember it had a lot of steps, so I checked, and apparently it's had ramps installed recently, so there wouldn't be any problem there either. 00:03:18,060 Oh. And what about the kids? Which one do you think would be most suitable for them? Have they got play areas or anything? 00:03:26,740 The Royal haven't got anything, but the Winchester has one. It's on the ground floor, they said. Not far from the dining room. The Star's got one too, but it isn't undercover, and we don't know what the weather will be like, do we? 00:03:40,740 Mm, true. 00:03:42,380 Then there's the birthday meal itself. The Royal is the only one where there'd be a choice. The other two have a set menu at lunchtime. Mind you, they all do very good food apparently, so the quality should be fine. 00:03:55,980 I don't think it really matters whether there's a variety or not, but I think we need to have our own room, don't you? 00:04:02,800 The only one that can provide that is the Royal. The Winchester and the Star only have one dining room, so we'd just be sitting with the other guests, but in a separate area of the room. 00:04:15,060 Mm. That's not quite the same, is it? 00:04:17,780 No. But the other thing to consider is the price. Normally, there's not much difference between them. Perhaps the Star's slightly cheaper than the other two, but the Winchester is offering quite a good reduction because there's so many of us. The Star and the Royal would just charge their standard rates. 00:04:37,240 Hmm. So taking everything into consideration, which one do you think we should go for? 00:04:44,340 The Winchester. Unless you- 00:04:46,640 Okay. That's fine by me. You've obviously gone into everything very carefully. 00:04:54,760 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions seven to ten on page three. 00:05:26,740 Now listen and answer questions seven to ten. 00:05:33,300 You've done nearly all the work so far. So what can I do now to help? 00:05:38,640 Well, could you manage the finances? 00:05:40,980 Of course. Do they want the whole amount in advance? 00:05:44,820 Just a deposit. I'll find out how much and let you know. Then if you could send that straight away to secure the booking. 00:05:53,220 Fine. 00:05:53,920 And I'll go and buy some invitations. 00:05:56,420 Oh, don't do that. I can produce them. I've got a program on my computer. It's easy. 00:06:02,900 Okay. Thanks. 00:06:04,460 Then once we've had the replies, I'll call everyone who's coming to find out if they want transport. 00:06:10,740 Great. I can help out with that, pick people up from the station or whatever. 00:06:15,840 Okay. 00:06:16,800 Oh, yes. And could you stress that Dad doesn't want presents? He keeps reminding me. He says there's nothing he really needs. 00:06:26,280 Okay. I'll try to discourage them, but you know what people are like. Anything else shall I do? 00:06:36,980 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 1. sea view sea view - Royal Hotel - Star Hotel - Winchester Hotel - All three hotels **答案**：Star Hotel 原文定位：The Star looks right out over the bay.
