First, you have some time to look at questions one to three on page two. 00:00:32,800 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. 00:00:45,280 Manor Farm. Hello. 00:00:47,440 Hi there. I'd like to apply to do fruit picking this summer. 00:00:51,020 Oh, hello. I'm Mrs. Chandler. My husband and I own Manor Farm. Let me take some details. I'll just get a form to fill in. Hold on. 00:01:01,740 Sure. 00:01:04,040 Sorry. Right. Your name is? 00:01:07,940 It's Ben Miller. 00:01:11,040 The man's name is Ben Miller, so Ben Miller has been written in the space. 00:01:20,200 Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. 00:01:28,500 Listen carefully and answer questions one to three. 00:01:35,480 Manor Farm. Hello. 00:01:37,640 Hi there. I'd like to apply to do fruit picking this summer. 00:01:41,220 Oh, hello. I'm Mrs. Chandler. My husband and I own Manor Farm. Let me take some details. I'll just get a form to fill in. Hold on. 00:01:51,960 Sure. 00:01:54,260 Sorry. Right. Your name is? 00:01:58,140 It's Ben Miller. 00:02:00,100 And where are you from? 00:02:02,240 I'm from the USA. 00:02:04,200 Fine. 00:02:05,960 Um, can I ask your age? 00:02:08,780 I'm 20. You only take people over the age of sixteen, don't you? 00:02:13,120 Yes, that's right. Are you able to work in the UK? 00:02:17,560 Sorry? 00:02:18,520 I mean, do you have a visa? 00:02:20,940 Oh, yeah. I have a thing called a blue card. It's valid until November. 00:02:26,600 That's fine then. We'll need fruit pickers from the middle of June until the end of September. What's your availability? 00:02:35,320 When can I work? Um, I'd like to do July, August, and September, and could do October if there's any work then. 00:02:44,580 Okay. Did you find out about us through our website? 00:02:49,360 That's right. It's much easier than going through an agency. 00:02:55,980 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions four to ten on page three. 00:03:11,600 Now listen and answer questions four to ten. 00:03:45,840 I see you need most pickers in September for apples and pears, but the whole picking season can last about sixteen weeks. 00:03:52,960 Well, yes, but it's a question of the weather. That determines how much fruit we grow, of course. That's why I can't give you exact picking dates now. 00:04:03,240 I see. Oh, well, no problem. 00:04:06,760 Can you tell me what pickers earn? 00:04:09,000 Well, that depends on age. The rate is 4.50 pounds an hour for the under 18, but as you're over 18, it would rise to 5.60 pounds an hour. 00:04:21,120 Uh-huh. Your website says that you don't provide accommodation for pickers, so I guess I should arrange that in advance. 00:04:29,500 Yes, there is no accommodation on the farm, but there is a campsite about 15 minutes away. 00:04:36,640 Is that walking distance? What do you think? Uh, 00:04:40,940 no. Maybe I should bring my bike to get around. 00:04:44,280 Yes, we always recommend that. Some pickers bring a car but then find the roads rather narrow, and the bus is very infrequent. 00:04:54,780 Mm, do you have any questions? 00:04:58,160 I know that fruit picking is hard work, but is there anything special I need to bring with me? 00:05:03,880 Well, firstly, documentation is extremely important. We will need proof of age, so we'll expect to see your passport. Pickers without one won't be allowed to work. 00:05:15,820 Oh, even if their age is written on their driving license? 00:05:19,660 Sorry, a driving license isn't suitable. 00:05:22,720 Fair enough. I guess some lunch is provided for all the hungry fruit pickers. 00:05:28,440 I'm afraid not. You'll need to bring your own food for lunch and, more importantly, enough water to last a full day. It can get very hot, so drinking is vital. 00:05:40,680 Right. Like back home. 00:05:43,320 Okay. Well, thanks for all the information. What happens now? 00:05:48,120 Well, I'll post a contract to you at the... 00:05:53,690 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### part1_fill **答案**：5.6 原文定位：The rate is 4.50 pounds an hour for the under 18, but as you're over 18, it would rise to 5.60 pounds an hour ### 1.
