31、of their popularity 11 【听力原文】 JACK DUNNE: Im sure that you have all heard about International Driving Licenses. Theyve been around since 1949, when the United Nations gave approval for their use. This meant that travellers could drive freely in the 186 countries that recognise the international Driv
32、ing License system-regardless of the language that the drivers spoke. The only conditions were that the driver had to already hold a driving license in their home country and they had to be at least 18 years of age. International Drivers Licenses are well-recognised-after all, theyve been in use for
33、 over 50 years! To break the language barrier, the license is printed in 11 different languages but the last page of the booklet is always in French. As I said, it is a booklet-about the size of a passport -urn, 10.8 by 15.25 centimetres to be exact. So it is easy to carry with your travel documents
34、. Its not too thick or heavy either. Only seventeen pages. All of the pages are coloured white but the cover of the license is grey. It is a useful form of identification when you travel because it includes a passport-sized photograph and the drivers signature. The International Drivers License can
35、only be purchased from authorized travel associations in different countries but it can also be ordered on the Internet. The cost of course varies from country to country and for the term or the duration of the license- for example, a one-year license might cost approximately $40 whereas a three-yea
36、r license costs double that. A five-year license will set you back about $100. 11 【正确答案】 since 1949 12 【正确答案】 15.25 13 【正确答案】 white 14 【正确答案】 signature 15 【正确答案】 Internet 16 【正确答案】 $80 17 【听力原文】 Before I outline the four most important points to consider before rushing off to get your International
37、Drivers License, I should probably mention that, yes, the International Drivers License covers all types of vehicles from motorbikes to trucks-but just as in your own country, you have to be qualified to drive such vehicles. You might like the idea of driving around the Australian outback on a motor
38、bike or checking out the English countryside in a bus with all your mates, but youll have to take the appropriate test before you set off!. OK-now the four main points: firstly, you cannot use an International License in the country in which it is issued-it is for international travel only. Some int
39、ernational students avoid this rule by ordering their licenses on the Internet which will ask them to nominate a “country of your choice“ for that very purpose. Secondly, some countries wont allow you to use an International License indefinitely. In Australia for example, you can only use the Intern
40、ational License for a year-after that you must get an Australian Driving License. Other countries arent as strict as that. Thirdly, drivers on International Licenses must abide by the road rules in the country that they are visiting. If you are caught breaking those road rules, you will have to pay
41、the penalty- usually a fine. And if you are the cause of an accident, expect to pay for any damages that you are responsible for. Holding an International Drivers License does not give you the fight to be reckless. And yes, if you have been suspended or banned from driving in your own country, the s
42、ame rules apply with an International Drivers License - you must have an existing Drivers License to apply for an International Drivers License. Some police will in fact, want to see both your International License and your own Drivers License - so carry both licenses with you to save wasting valuab
43、le time. Finally, you dont have to take another driving test to get an International Drivers License-your own Drivers License is proof that you know how to drive. However, it is your responsibility to learn the road rules of the country that you are visiting and to understand what the different road
44、 signs mean. Police are not always understanding to foreign drivers! If you break road rules either deliberately or out of ignorance, expect to pay the price. Police are ultimately the same everywhere. 17 【正确答案】 home country/country of issue 18 【正确答案】 a limited time/period/a year 19 【正确答案】 road rule
45、s 20 【正确答案】 fined/penalised 21 【听力原文】 Anita Whats the reason for the learning circle youve set up, Hamish? Hamish Well, it wasnt my idea-the Economics tutor suggested it actually-he said that its a good way to make sure you put in the time needed for a particular subject. But for me, well, I thought
46、 that studying in a group like that would give me some incentive to study-I really need a reason to learn, you know, motivation, especially in Economics! Anita Hmm, I guess study groups can give you discipline and motivation. Theyre both useful but my biggest problem is that Im finding Economics qui
47、te difficult. I think I need extra help just to understand the material. A learning circle could help-I was thinking of even getting a private tutor. Hamish Private tutors can be expensive-youre welcome to join us and it wont cost you anything. Every week were going to begin the session with problem
48、s and questions from material that weve been given in the lecture. We want the learning circle to be practical and worthwhile, so that we all help each other to do well. Anita Do you think the others in the group would mind if I joined as well? Hamish Of course not-there are only five of us and you
49、know us all. Anita Ive been researching some past exam papers, so Id be happy to contribute those to the circle if I join. Hamish One of the others suggested doing that too. He thought that we should try and identify any trends or common questions that were included in the past papers and that way we could prepare a little better for the final exam. Anita Yeah, thats what I was thinking. In fact,
