First the train tickets that come with a reservation. 2They come two ways: as a single combined document or as a ticket issued with a separate reservation. A single document that is both the train ticket a

20、nd the reservation specifically 3indicates the train number, train time, car number and seat number that you have been assigned. These tickets are only valid for the train indicated on it, and you must occupy the seat that was specifically assigned to you. You cannot use these train tickets to board

21、 another traineven on the same route, and you cannot get off and on the train along the way. In the case of separate train tickets and reservations, 4you will receive two distinct travel documents: the open ticket and a separate reservation. If for some reason you cannot use the reservation portion

22、of your train ticket if you miss your train, lost the reservation or simply change your plans, the open ticket portion of your train ticket remains valid. You may either purchase a new separate reservation to board a train that requires one, 5or use just the open ticket portion you already have to b

24、ard any train that runs on this route that does not require a reservation. Its quite flexible because you can decide which train to take after youve bought the train tickets. With open tickets, you do not have a pre-assigned seat. 7You can sit in any available seat in the class of service your train

25、 ticket was issued for. In most cases, the ticket you get is based on the route youll be taking. You do not have a choice in most instances. Now, lets review the possible ways youll get the tickets. Train tickets bought from Rail Europe can be issued in one of three ways: 8One, paper ticket printed

26、by Rail Europe. 9Two, print at home e-ticket as a PDF, or issued with a unique e-ticket confirmation code along with your photo ID. 10Three, print at the station e-ticket. Its e-ticket confirmation code is created and communicated to you at the time of purchase. You need to print the actual paper ti

35、g have you been staying in the Godfrey White Dorm? W: For the last ten weeks. M: Oh, have you been doing one of the summer courses here then? W: Yes, 1Ive been doing the Academic Language course since the beginning of July. M: And didnt you realise that your accommodation was temporary? W: No, I tho

36、ught I would be able to stay there for the whole year. 2I didnt read the small print on the document. The warden went through it with me, and now I see my mistake. M: Oh dear! So, youre looking for somewhere to stay then. W: Yes. M: Well, Im afraid all the places in the dorms are full. I mean, there

37、 may be some students who dont show up when term starts, but we wont know that for the next couple of weeks. 3The best thing you can do is look for a private house. Youll have to share with three or four other students. Meals arent included in the price of course, as they are in the university dorms

38、, and youll have to contribute to the electricity bills. W: Where can I find out about these houses? M: Ive got a list here, but its not up to date. Rooms are taken up every day, so its hard to know whether a house has a free place or not. 4I can give you a photocopy of this list and you can ring ro

39、und. W: Can I use the phone here? M: Im afraid not! If we let everyone who asked do that, thered be someone here all day! W: Do you have a map? Itd be useful to know where these places are.

42、? 2. Why didnt the woman realize that her accommodation was temporary? 3. Where does the man think is the best place to live? 4. What should the woman do to find out private houses? 5. What do we learn about the YMCA? 12 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 选项与语言相关，听音时注意原文的相关内容。 女士说他从 7月初开始一直上 Academic Language course“学

43、术语言课程 ”， B项正确。其它几项原文没有提到。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 四个选项都 有 Because，可知问题问的是某个原因。 女士说到她以为可以在 Godfrey White Dorm住一整年，因为没看清楚说明文件上的 small print“(合同或协议的 )附属细则 ”，说明她看文件的时候不够仔细，所以 A正确。录音中女士说她以为自己可以住一整年，直到管理员过来通读了一下文件，女士才意识到自己的错误，女士犯了对文件条目认识上的错误，并不是 B项所说的 “在文件上出了错 ”。 C“管理员没告诉她这一点 ”原文没有提到，告知条款附则内容这也不属于管理员

44、的职责。 D项太过绝对，女士只是说没仔细看附属细则而已。并不是一点都没看过。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 在对话里，男士说到学生最好是去找一间私人的房子，因为学校的宿舍已经住满了，所以 B正确。因为 Godfrey White Dorm只提供临时住宿，学生周四就要搬出去，不可能继续在那里住，因此 D不正确。男士建议女士如果周四之前还没有找到住处，可以暂住基督教青年会提供的床位，但这不是最佳选择，故 C项排除。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 对话里，男士说到他有一张表，列了各个房子的信 息，但这张表里面的信息不是最新的，每天都可能有新的人

45、入住，所以女士需要自己打电话去确认是否还有空的房间。选项 call是原文 ring的同义词，答案选 C。 【知识模块】 听力 16 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项描述的都是 It的相关信息，注意对话 It的相关内容。 对话里，男士说现在这个时节业务非常繁忙，需要打电话预定，可见现在正处于需求高峰期， C项正确。 男士说到 the YMCA“基督教青年会招待所 ”在大学和市中心中间的位置，排除 A项。基督教青年会招待所提供便宜的床位，并不是免费的， B项 也错误。 D项的电话号码有误。 【知识模块】 听力 17 【听力原文】 W: Hey. Uh, you look really unha

46、ppy. Whats going on? M: Ah, you dont want to know. W: Okay, see you. M: Wait, wait, wait! Why are you walking away? W: Well, you said I didnt want to know, so I just walked away. M: No, wait. 6You see my parents dont really love me. W: What do you mean? Why do you say so? When I met them last week,

47、they seemed really caring. Your mum made the birthday cake for you and you father booked the tickets of your favorite bands concert for you. Things couldnt change that instant. M: You dont understand! You see. I want a new smart phone. I mean, I need one, and my parents wont buy me a new one! W: Uh,

48、 excuse me, but dont you already have an iPhone? M: Yeah, but its three months old. W: Old? 7I bought my cellphone three years ago. So my cellphone can be called something ancient. I really dont see why you need to change it. M: And it has a small scratch on it. W: Where? Let me see. M: Look! Here.

49、You see a scratch here? W: I dont see a scratch. M: Look, look, right here! You see it? W: Come on! Its just a speck of dust. M: Anyway. And my other phone. W: What? You have two phones? M: Yes. I have one for my classmates and friends, and the other for my family. Hey, thats beside the point. W: So did your parents give you a reason for not buying you a new phone? M: Not a good one. 8Only something
