一、Enquiry About Joining Youth Council听力原文：

CAROLINE:Good Morning.

Youth Council.

Caroline speaking.

ROGER:Oh,hello,I'm interested in standing for election to the Youth Council,and I was told to give you a call.

CAROLINE:That's good.

Could I have your name,please?

ROGER:Yes,it's Roger(Example)Brown.

CAROLINE:Thank you.

I'm Caroline,the Youth Council administrator.

So do you know much about what the Council does,Roger?

ROGER:I've talked to Stephanie-I think she's the chair of the Council.

CAROLINE:That's right.

ROGER:And she told me a lot about it.

How it's a way for young people to discuss local issues,for example,and make suggestions to the town council.

That's what made me interested.

CAROLINE:Fine.

Well let me take down some of your details.

First of all,how old are you?

You know the Council is for young people aged from 13 to 18?

ROGER:I've just turned 18.

CAROLINE:And where do you live,Roger?

ROGER:Well,that's a bit complicated.

At the moment I'm looking for a flat to rent here,so I'm in a hostel from Monday to Friday.

I go back to my parents'place at the weekend.

CAROLINE:OK,SO where's the best place to send you some information about the Council?

ROGER:Oh,to my parents'address,please.

That's 17,Buckleigh Street-B-U-C-K-L-E-I-G-H Street,Stamford,Lincolnshire,though you don't really need the county.

CAROLINE:Oh,I know Stamford-it's a lovely town.

And what's the postcode?

ROGER:PE9 7Q

CAROLINE:Right,thank you.

So are you working here,or are you a student?

ROGER:I started studying at the university a couple of weeks ago,and I've got a part-time job for a few hours a week.

CAROLINE:What do you do?

ROGER:Well,I've done several different things.

I've just finished a short-term contract as a courier,and now I'm working as a waiter in one of the big hotels.

CAROLINE:Uhuh.

That can't leave you much time for studying!

ROGER:Oh,it's not too bad.

I manage to fit it all in.

CAROLINE:What are you studying?

ROGER:My ambition is to go into parliament eventually,so my major subject is politics.

That's partly why I think the Youth Council is important and want to be a part of it.

CAROLINE:And I suppose you're also taking a minor subject,aren't you?

I know a lot of people study economics too.

ROGER:I chose history.

To be honest,I'm not finding it as interesting as I expected!

CAROLINE:OK,so with your studying and your part-time job,do you have time for any other interests or hobbies?

ROGER:Well,I spend quite a lot of time cycling-both around town to get to university and to work,and also long-distance,from here to London,for instance.

CAROLINE:That's pretty impressive!

Anything else?

ROGER:For relaxation I'm also keen on the cinema-I used to go at least once a week,but I can't manage to go so often now.

CAROLINE:Right.

Are you sure you'll have enough time for the Youth Council?

ROGER:Yes,I've worked out that I can afford to reduce my hours at work,and that will make the time.

CAROLINE:So is there any particular aspect of the Youth Council's work that appeals to you,Roger?

ROGER:Well,my sister is blind,so I'm particularly interested in working with disabled young people,to try and improve the quality of their lives.

CAROLINE:That's great.

Well,the best way to get involved is to be nominated by some people who you know.

ROGER:Right.

Can you tell me how to set about organising that?

CAROLINE:You should talk to Jeffrey,our Elections Officer.

I can arrange a meeting in the council office with him,if you like.

ROGER:Yes,please.

CAROLINE:He'll be here next Monday,if that suits you.

ROGER:That's the 14th,isn't it?

CAROLINE:Yes.

ROGER:I can manage late afternoon.

CAROLINE:Would you like to suggest a time?

He generally leaves around 5:30.

ROGER:Well,would 4:30 be OK?

My last class finishes at 4,so I'd have plenty of time to get to your office.

CAROLINE:Right,that's fine.

Oh,and could I have a phone number we can contact you on?

ROGER:Yes,my mobile number's 07788 136711.

CAROLINE:Thank you.

Well,we'll look forward to seeing you next week.

ROGER:Thanks very much.

Goodbye.

CAROLINE:Bye.

二、Enquiry About Joining Youth Council听力中文翻译：

卡罗琳：早上好。

青年理事会。

我是卡罗琳。

罗杰：噢，你好，我对参加青年委员会的选举很感兴趣，有人告诉我给你打个电话。

卡罗琳：那很好。

请问你叫什么名字？

罗杰：是的，我是罗杰·布朗。

卡罗琳：谢谢你。

我是卡洛琳，青年委员会的行政长官。

罗杰，你对委员会的工作了解多少？

罗杰：我和斯蒂芬妮谈过了，我想她是委员会主席。

卡罗琳：没错。

罗杰：她告诉了我很多。

例如，这是年轻人讨论地方问题并向市议会提出建议的一种方式。

这就是我感兴趣的原因。

卡罗琳：很好。

好吧，让我记下你的一些细节。

首先，你多大了？

你知道这个委员会是为13岁到18岁的年轻人设立的吗？

罗杰：我刚满18岁。

卡罗琳：罗杰，你住在哪里？

罗杰：嗯，这有点复杂。

目前我正在这里找一套公寓出租，所以我从周一到周五住在一家招待所。

周末我回父母家。

卡罗琳：好的，那么哪里是向你发送委员会信息的最佳地点？

罗杰：噢，请到我父母的地址。

那是17号，林肯郡斯坦福德的巴克利街-B-U-C-K-L-E-I-G-H街，尽管你并不真正需要这个县。

卡罗琳：哦，我知道斯坦福德，那是个可爱的小镇。

邮政编码是什么？

罗杰：PE9 7Q

卡罗琳：好的，谢谢你。

你是在这里工作，还是学生？

罗杰：我几周前开始在这所大学学习，我每周有几个小时的兼职工作。

卡罗琳：你是做什么的？

罗杰：嗯，我做过几件不同的事。

我刚完成一份快递员的短期合同，现在我在一家大酒店当服务员。

卡罗琳：嗯。

那不会给你留下多少学习的时间！

罗杰：哦，还不错。

我设法把一切都融入其中。

卡罗琳：你在学什么？

罗杰：我的抱负是最终进入议会，所以我的主要科目是政治。

这就是为什么我认为青年理事会很重要，并希望成为其中的一部分。

卡罗琳：我想你也修了一门辅修课，是吗？

我知道很多人也学经济学。

罗杰：我选择了历史。

老实说，我觉得它没有我想象的那么有趣！

卡罗琳：好的，那么，在你的学习和兼职工作中，你还有时间从事其他兴趣或爱好吗？

罗杰：嗯，我花了很多时间骑自行车——包括在城里上大学和工作，还有从这里到伦敦的长途自行车。

卡罗琳：真令人印象深刻！

还有别的吗？

罗杰：为了放松，我也很喜欢看电影——我过去每周至少去一次，但现在不能经常去了。

卡罗琳：对。

你确定你有足够的时间参加青年理事会吗？

罗杰：是的，我已经想好了，我可以减少工作时间，这会让我有时间的。

卡罗琳：罗杰，青年委员会的工作有什么特别吸引你的地方吗？

罗杰：嗯，我姐姐是盲人，所以我对与残疾年轻人合作特别感兴趣，努力提高他们的生活质量。

卡罗琳：太好了。

嗯，最好的参与方式是由你认识的人提名。

罗杰：对。

你能告诉我怎么开始组织吗？

卡罗琳：你应该和我们的选举官员杰弗里谈谈。

如果你愿意的话，我可以安排在议会办公室和他会面。

罗杰：是的，请。

卡罗琳：如果你觉得合适的话，他下周一会来。

罗杰：那是14号，不是吗？

卡罗琳：是的。

罗杰：下午晚些时候我能应付。

卡罗琳：你能建议一个时间吗？

他通常在5:30左右离开。

罗杰：那么，4:30可以吗？

我最后一节课4点结束，所以我有足够的时间去你的办公室。

卡罗琳：对，很好。

哦，能给我一个电话号码我们可以联系你吗？

罗杰：是的，我的手机号码是07788136711。

卡罗琳：谢谢你。

嗯，我们期待着下周见到你。

罗杰：非常感谢。

再见

10.07788136711/07788 136711

五、Enquiry About Joining Youth Council听力答案解析

1.hostel。空格前面出现了staying in a，表明该空格需要填写具体地点，并且该地点为可数名词单数。同时考生还需要注意题目中出现了currently以及during the week的时间限定词。录音中at the moment与currently对应，紧接着提到的flat为干扰答案，但前面的动词为looking for，与题目不符，故排除。So为答案出现信号词，in a hostel与题目相符，from Monday to Friday对应during the week，故确定答案为hostel。

2.Buckleigh。空格前的关键词为Postal address，故可以判断需要填写的是邮寄地址中的街道名称。在17之后，Street之前为答案。录音中，17与Street之间的词为Buckleigh，故答案为Buckleigh。如果该街道名称为一个常用单词，则录音中不会拼写，否则就会拼写出来。考生在听到录音中的单词拼写时要特别留意。

3.PE9 7QT。题目关键词为postcode，该题目考查数字和字母拼写问题。考生需要注意邮编中所有字母都要大写，并且注意区分个别字母及数字的发音。

4.waiter。题目关键词为occupation,即考查职位名称，而part-time job为关键限定词。录音中提到I’ve got a part-time job for a few hours a week，考生需要集中记忆力听后面的答案。后文提到and now I’m working as a waiter，故waiter即为答案。

5.politics。major subject出现在题目括号里，为主要限定成分，同时也是答案的关键定位词。录音中直接提到my major subject is politics，可确定答案为politics。

6.cycling。题干中出现hobbies，则确定该空格考查兴趣爱好类的名词，同时a lot of为辅助定位词，可以帮助进行定位。录音中问到do you have time for any other interests or hobbies？紧接着回答well,I spend quite a lot of time cycling，即可确定答案为cycling。

7.cinema。题目中，本题与上一题为并列结构，同样询问兴趣爱好。录音中的问句Anything else?为承上启下，引出后面的答案，随即听到I’m also keen on the cinema。录音中的also对应题目中的and；录音中的be keen on对应题目中的be interested in。答案为cinema。

8.disabled。通过阅读题目可以确定该空格需要填描述人的形容词，关键定位词为work with young people。录音中问到是什么样的工作吸引男生来应聘时，他回答说I’m particularly interested in working with disabled young people，可确定答案为disabled。要特别注意：听力原文中的disabled出现了吞音现象，考生只听到disable的发音，要结合之前审题时判断的词性来填写答案。

9.4.30。通过审题可以判断此处需要填写具体时间。next Monda为主要限定词。女生询问男生方便的时间，男生反问would 4.30 be OK？女生回答right,that’s fine.即可确定答案为4.30。但要注意题目中5.30和4两个干扰项，一个是officer离开的时间，一个是男生下课的时间。

10.07788 136711。题目考查电话号码。注意个别数字的辨音。录音中多次提到double，也需要考生注意。
