## 题目原文

00:00:00,300 
 Section one. 
 00:00:02,460 
 You will hear two students, Jack and Amy, discussing the details of the concerts that they are planning to hold. First, you have some time to look at questions one to five. 
 00:00:21,160 
 You will see there is an example that has been done for you. 
 00:00:44,600 
 On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. 
 00:00:54,300 
 Oh, hi, Jack. Thank you for coming to discuss the details of the concert. It's a real help. 
 00:01:00,480 
 No problem, Amy. I'm looking forward to throwing some ideas around. Shall we order coffee before we begin? 
 00:01:06,700 
 Yes, I'll have a cappuccino, please. Right. First on the agenda is deciding who the intended audience is because we'll obviously have to base our choice of music on this. 
 00:01:21,440 
 The thing to do before they start is order coffee. So coffee has been written in the space. 
 00:01:30,160 
 Now we shall begin. 
 00:01:32,520 
 You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. 
 00:01:41,380 
 Listen carefully and answer questions one to five. 
 00:01:48,300 
 Oh, hi, Jack. Thank you for coming to discuss the details of the concert. It's a real help. 
 00:01:54,500 
 No problem, Amy. I'm looking forward to throwing some ideas around. Shall we order coffee before we begin? 
 00:02:00,380 
 Yes, I'll have a cappuccino, please. Right. First on the agenda is deciding who the intended audience is because we'll obviously have to base our choice of music on this. 
 00:02:12,540 
 Classical concerts are held all the time, but I'd really like to do something different and make it special. What do you think about holding it outside? 
 00:02:20,920 
 I like the idea, but the weather is too unpredictable. What if we host the concert for children? We could make it more lighthearted, and everyone could dress up in costume. 
 00:02:32,580 
 What a wonderful idea. We could host the event every afternoon so that children can attend after school. How much do you think we should charge? 
 00:02:42,320 
 I don't think we should charge more than five dollars for the student tickets. 
 00:02:46,520 
 No, I think that 4 dollars would be a fair price. We can charge adults a little bit more. I'd say that 6.50 dollars is suitable. 
 00:02:55,620 
 Okay, great. That should hopefully cover the costs of running the event. The local press will be in attendance to take photographs to print in the newspaper, so we'll also need to organize a press tent. 
 00:03:08,440 
 It's all so exciting. 
 00:03:10,860 
 There will also be a representative from the local radio station broadcasting live. They're predicting that over a thousand people will tune in to listen. 
 00:03:19,860 
 Now that we're agreed, let's move on to discuss our other more sophisticated concert where we'll be hosting a number of well-known opera performers. 
 00:03:29,660 
 As the majority of people will be at work during the day, I suggest that the concert takes place in the late afternoon or evening. Which did you think? 
 00:03:38,660 
 I think we should definitely hold an evening concert. The darkness will make the entire performance more dramatic. 
 00:03:46,180 
 Yes, that will be fantastic. Let's host the event on Friday when everyone can wind down after finishing a week of work. It'll be a lovely start to the weekend. 
 00:03:56,000 
 As it will be a lavish and elegant event, I think we should set quite a high entrance fee of around forty dollars. It'll give us some extra money to spend on decorations. 
 00:04:06,840 
 That sounds fair. Instead of using chandeliers and electric lights, we should decorate the marquee with candles instead. It would be so romantic. 
 00:04:16,220 
 Okay, perfect. 
 00:04:20,740 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten. 
 00:04:40,760 
 Now listen and answer questions six to ten. 
 00:04:58,040 
 Now, moving on to the concert where we showcase talented opera singers from the local area. Perhaps we should host this opera show on Monday evening? 
 00:05:07,900 
 I think that the venue is already booked on Monday, but Tuesday will do nicely. How much do you think we should charge the audience for tickets? 
 00:05:15,560 
 Since the performers are not professionals, perhaps we should make this a free event. 
 00:05:20,880 
 Yes. Tickets will be free, but we should ask everyone for a donation so that we can cover the costs of the venue and food and drink. 
 00:05:28,940 
 The venue also comes complete with a piano, so hopefully one of the performers will be able to play. I had lessons when I was younger, but I'm not accomplished enough to perform in front of an audience. 
 00:05:42,040 
 Well, what if we make our final concert a karaoke night where everyone of any ability can sing on stage? It could be really good fun, and it would give everyone the opportunity to join in. 
 00:05:53,680 
 Yes, I love that idea. Let's hold it during the day on Saturday so that everyone, including families and the elderly, can attend. 
 00:06:03,760 
 Perhaps we should offer concessions for students, children, and the elderly to make the tickets more affordable and encourage everyone to come. 
 00:06:12,040 
 Yes, definitely. I think that the majority of the crowd will be composed of families and friendship groups, so we should avoid giving a group discount to maximize the income from ticket sales. 
 00:06:24,680 
 Let's arrange a secret surprise to end the show on a high for everyone. How about a band performance? 
 00:06:31,360 
 One of my friends happens to know a famous singer who I'm sure would be happy to perform for a small fee. 
 00:06:38,540 
 Oh, wow, that sounds brilliant. Well, I think we've addressed the details for all of the concerts. 
 00:06:44,820 
 Thank you so much for helping. See you later. 
 00:06:51,130 
 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
