8、（听力）模拟试卷 43答案与解析 一、 Listening Module (30 minutes & 10 minutes transfer time) 1 【听力原文】 Announcer: The start of a new academic year is a challenge for booksellers. Lee Rogers talks to one major book store manager. Lee: Jenny Farrow, youre the manager of Dalton Books - and you sell an awful lot of book
9、s to students, dont you? Jenny: Yes! We do. Lee: How do you manage to make sure that youre going to have the books students need when all the new courses begin? Jenny: Basically, we make preparations long before they arrive. Like all other major book retailers, we have a database of information, and
10、 using that, we contact course convenors in May and ask them to send us their booklists. Lee: How many books are we talking about? Jenny: For one course? Lee: Yes, as an example. Jenny: An average course requires about 30 books. We ask lecturers to indicate whether a book is what we call essential r
11、eading . you know, the students simply have to get it . or whether its what they would term recommended reading or whether its just a supplementary text that they tend to refer to as background reading. Lee: What about predicted buyers? Jenny: Its not a perfect system unfortunately. If a lecturer te
12、lls us that he expects us to sell 100 copies of a book, we know that we could actually sell anything from 50 to 150. Thats why in practice, when it comes to ordering, its a lot safer to go by the previous years sales figures - if thats possible of course . if weve sold the book before. We also build
13、 other factors into the equation including the type of course that the books are for, the students year group and a measure of our own judgement. Lee: And these criteria make a fairly accurate guide? Jenny: As accurate as we can be, yes. Lee: What about the publishers? Do they take an active role in
14、 promoting new books? Jenny: Certainly. The academic and professional publishing market is worth about f700 million a year, so publishers go to some lengths to make sure their books are known. The standard procedure they use is to mail out catalogues to lecturers or colleges and universities, thats
15、been the main form of promotion for years. Now, of course, they can also post details of new or revised works on websites. Some even go so far as writing individual letters to the appropriate lecturers in order to let them know whats coming up. Lee: The lecturers then contact you if theyre intereste
16、d . Jenny: Thats right. The publishers send us - the book sellers - inspection copies. Lecturers can then get a free copy and decide whether its going to be suitable for their course. Lee: And how does it work with the students? What are they looking for and who helps them most? Jenny: I think lectu
17、rers are best placed to understand the students needs. Often the critical issue is what represents value for money for students. This is more important than price per se. Lee: Do students actually buy books before they start the course? Jenny: Apparently a large proportion of students wait to see wh
18、at they need. Students have a firm idea of what constitutes a good book so they tend to give themselves time to look at all the options before making a choice. They tend to go for books that are clear and easy to use. Often the texts that their lecturers recommend turn out to be too academic and rem

PROFESSOR: Well, youll take the role of leader or moderator and assistant. LOUISE: Is that like the role of chairman? PROF
21、ESSOR: Yes, thats it. STUART: Sounds daunting. PROFESSOR: Not at all. Ive already done a great deal of the preparation myself. Let me run through the procedure with you. Ive singled out an issue that will entail quite some conflict of opinion. Ive selected panelists who are well-informed and will pr
22、obably have contradictory points of view. Thats very important, you know. LOUISE: Actually, I feel a bit nervous-how many panelists will there be? PROFESSOR: Well, Ive invited five panelists for each panel because thats probably the maximum number that an inexperienced moderator can handle. But dont
23、 worry, I always invite more than we need because you can be sure someone wont be able to make it-so youll probably just end up with four, which is a very manageable number. STUART: Oh, I see. PROFESSOR: And Ive chosen a moderator thats you, by the way. LOUISE: Ah.but.Stuart will help, right? PROFES
24、SOR: Yes. Ill get onto time-keeping and what-not, shortly. Thats where an assistant is indispensable. STUART: But what procedure do we follow to conduct the panel discussion? PROFESSOR: Dont worry. I was just about to say. Ive also settled on the format. STUART: What is it? PROFESSOR: There are vari
25、ous formats that can be followed but Ive always found this one to be very effective. STUART: Yes? PROFESSOR: Okay, make some notes on these guidelines as I run through them and ask me questions about anything you dont understand. STUART: Were ready. PROFESSOR: Firstly, the moderator introduces the t
26、opic and the panelists. LOUISE: But we dont know who the panelists are. PROFESSOR: Dont worry Ive prepared a short biographical introduction for each one of them and Ill give you that information tomorrow. LOUISE: Oh, good. PROFESSOR: Next, the panelists are given a set amount of time to present the
27、ir views on the topic. Id say, about two minutes each should be sufficient. Now, this is where Stuarts time-keeping is going to be important. You have to keep to the schedule all the way through because the lecture room has only been booked for an hour. STUART: How do I indicate when the time is up?
28、 PROFESSOR: You stand off to one side of the panel either with your back to the audience or hidden from the audience but in full view of the panel and moderator. You have a digital clock or timer and you hold up the appropriate number of fingers to give the number of minutes. When the time is up, yo
29、u make a cutting gesture with your hand. LOUISE: Ah.but.what if the panelists keep talking? PROFESSOR: Then, thats your job to politely intervene and move on to the next segment which is the discussion itself. Panelists discuss, ask questions and react to the opinions of other panel members. This, o
30、f course, is their primary function and should occupy about 60% of the allotted time. LOUISE: Stuart will watch the time, right? PROFESSOR: Yes, because youll be making brief notes. LOUISE: Why? PROFESSOR: Well, when the times up, the moderator shuts down the debate and provides a summary of the dis
31、cussion. LOUISE: Oh, and then its over? PROFESSOR: Well, no, the secondary function of the panel is to answer questions from the audience and that should take up the remaining 15 to 20 minutes. Its the leaders role to recognize appropriate questions and reject those not related to the subject. Durin
32、g the question period you must maintain strict control and this will most likely be the toughest part of the whole job. LOUISE: Oh, dear. PROFESSOR: Stuart will of course help you here by ensuring that as many people as possible have a chance to ask their questions and that no one member of the audi
33、ence tries to dominate. With about 5 minutes to go, hell announce that theres time for only a couple more questions, then announce “last question“. LOUISE: And then its over? PROFESSOR: Not quite. You still have to acknowledge the involvement of the panelists and invite your audience to thank them with a round of applause. STUART: Should I clap too? PROFESSOR: Yes, you should both take part in the applause. 16 【正确答案】 conflict 17 【正确答案】 moderator/leader 18 【正确答案】 format 19 【正确答案】 biographical 20 【正确答案】 gesture 21 【正确答案】 summary 22 【正确答案】 applause 23 【正确答案】 C 24 【正确答案】 F 25 【正确答案】 B
