9、O 8 【听力原文】 F： What do you think is the cause of the output reduction in summer? M： Well， due to high replacement rate and low efficiency from fill-in workers， we just dont make as many bicycle frames as we do during the rest of the year F： Where does the high replacement rate come from? M： Good ques

10、tion Both the high replacement rate and low efficiency are because of the extreme heat in the workshop The average temperatures inside the workshop are 6 over the outside tempera tures During the summer， when work starts at 8： 00，its already 31 in the workshop By 11： 30， its at least 37 On six days

11、last summer it hit 41 F： Thats hot! M： Yes And as you know， these workers are always working on， moving or carrying bicycle frames， which weigh as much as 8 kilos When temperatures are 35 ， they slow down When they feel its too hard to put up with， they quit F： How many was it again? M： Well， this s

12、ummer we have already changed 11 of the 36 employees in the workshop Replacement rate for the whole summer will usually run over 50% When someone quits， it takes an average of five days to find and train a fill-in worker During that time， the trainee produces nothing For another five days， the new p

13、erson can work at only about half speed According to my calculations， we are producing 12， 300 less units per summer than we would without this replacement rate F： Is it really that much? M： Yes， and figuring a profit of $16 on every bike we sell， those 12， 300 products we arent making are costing u

14、s 196， 800 dollars in potential earnings. 9 【正确答案】 REDUCTlON 【试题解析】 会议讨论的就是产量减少的问题。做这道题的时候只需根据第一位讲话人的话将 output(产量 )之后的词写出来即可。此外，从 Steve的回答 “we just dont make as many bicycle frames as we do during the rest of the year”当中，我 们也能知道夏天生产的自行车架没有其他季节多，因而可以推断出是产量减少 output reduction。 10 【正确答案】 REPLACEMENT 【试

15、题解析】 Steve的回答以 due to开始，因此 due to后面的内容就是减产的原因。在他的回答中， due to后面的内容并列了两点， (1)high replacement rate(高替换率 )； (2)low efficiency from fill-in workers(替补工人低效率 )。根据试题中的前后提示，这里应填的词是 replacement。 11 【正确答案】 EFFICIENCY 【试题解析】 Steve的回答以 due to开始，因此 due to后面的内容就是减产的原因。在他的回答中， due to后面的内容并列了两点， (1)high replacement

16、 rate(高替换率 )； (2)low efficiency from fill-in workers(替补工人低效率 )。根据试题中的前后提示，这里应填的词是 replacement。 12 【正确答案】 6/SIX 【试题解析】 Steve接着谈到工人高替换 率和替补工人的低效率都是由夏天车间里的高温引起的 (extreme heat in the workshop)。随后他说到车间内外的温度差异。车间内的平均温度比室外高 6度。表示温度的符号 已经给出，所以这里只需填写数字 6即可。 13 【正确答案】 10/TEN 【试题解析】 Steve说找到一个工人对其进行培训平均需要五天，期间

17、新工人的产量为零 (produce nolhing)，在其后的五天里，新工人的工作速度只有熟练工人的一半 (work at onlyr about half speed)。 那么从找到新工人到让他能够像熟练工人一样生产，中间的时间至少要十天。 14 【正确答案】 12,300 【试题解析】 这道题目考查的是听写较大数字的能力。每年夏天都少生产 12，300台车架。只要将听到的数字记下即可。对于这样的题目，如果平时按照拼读规则加强练习，就应该没有什么问题。 15 【正确答案】 800 【试题解析】 考查的也是听写较大数字的能力。每台车架利润 16美元， 12， 300台车架总共的利润就是 196

18、， 800美元。如果没能听写下这个数字，也可以通过简单的运算 1612， 300得到同样的结果。 三、 PART THREE 15 【听力原文】 A: Good morning. Im phoning to enquire about your office shelving system.code number SS007. B: Oh yes, what would you like to know? A; Well, Id like to check on the dimensions first make sure that theyll fit. First of all, how

24、 and our medium-term plans. For the AMAT, we expect to reach sales of 250,000 this is roughly the same figure as last year and it may be a little pessimistic, as we are going to do a large-scale promotion campaign during the year so perhaps we will achieve something like 300,000. Still I prefer to k

25、eep the forecast at 250,000. Now, we come to the BMAT. Here sales should reach 450,000. This could be a little optimistic as we are net going to push this product in 1998. In any case, the total will probably balance out with the more conservative forecast for the AM AT. The CMAT, our most recent pr

26、oduct, will continue to do well. Sales may go as high as 600,000. However, I have set the target slightly lower at 550,000. OK, lets turn to our medium-term plans. At the beginning of 1998 we are going to launch our new product the DMAT and we are sure sales will take off very quickly. We estimate f

27、irst year sales at 200,000. The DMAT should initially complement the AMAT and eventually replace it in the nineties. Finally, R & D are working hard on a medium range product they hope to have it ready by 1999 so we could launch it in 2000. 23 【正确答案】 B 24 【正确答案】 B 25 【正确答案】 C 26 【正确答案】 A 27 【正确答案】 C 28 【正确答案】 A 29 【正确答案】 C 30 【正确答案】 B
