【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] Pieter: Good morning. I'd like to open a hank account, please. Woman: Certainly. If you'd like to take a seat, I'll just get some details from you. It won't take long. Pieter: Thanks. Woman: Is it a current account or a deposit account you wanted? Pieter: A current account. Woman: Right. I've got the application form here then. We have different types—I see you've got our leaflet there. Pieter: I've decided on the one called 'Select'. Woman: Right, that's fine. So, first of all, can I have your full name please? Pieter: Yes, it's Pieter Henes. That's P-I-E-T-E-R. Woman: Is it H-E-double N-E-S? Pieter: Uh, only one N actually. It's a less common spelling of the name. Woman: Oh, right. OK. And what's your date of birth please? Pieter: The twenty-seventh of the first, nineteen seventy-three. Woman: Right. And will this be a joint account? Pieter: No, just myself. Woman: OK, fine. And where are you living, Mr. Henes? Pieter: 15, Riverside. Woman: Is that all one word? Pieter: Yes. Woman: Exeter? Pieter: Yes. Woman: How long have you been at your present address? Er, is it more than two years? Pieter: Ah, just two weeks actually. I only arrived in the country a month ago. I'm from Holland. Woman: Oh, that's fine. But we normally ask for a previous address in that case. Pieter: Oh yes, well, it's Rielsdorf 2. That's R-I-E-L-S-D-O-R-F 2, Utrecht. Woman: Holland. OK. Thank you. Do you have a daytime telephone number? Pieter: Yes, I think the number at my office is six-o-six-two-nine-five. Um, just a minute, I'd better check. Oh, no, sorry, six-one-six. I'm not used to it yet. Would you like my home number too? Woman: Yes please. Pieter: It's seven-nine-six-four-three-one. Woman: Are they both local numbers? Pieter: Yes. Woman: Right. And your occupation? Pieter: Well, I'm in Britain as a project manager, but that's not my main job. I'm an engineer by profession. Woman: I see. I think I'll put that then. It's shorter! Now we usually ask for a piece of information which we can use to check your identity, for security reasons. You know, if you phone us. Pieter: Like, erm, my wife's first name? Woman: Mother's might be better. It's less likely to be known. Pieter: OK. Hers is Siti. Woman: Siti? Pieter: Yes, S-I-T-I. It's Indonesian. Woman: Fine. And how much would you like to open your account with? We usually ask for a minimum sum of £50. That's about Pieter: Well, I'm going to transfer from my Dutch account, just till I get paid. In fact, I wanted to ask you about that. What's the best way to do it? Woman: It depends on which bank you're with. Pieter: It's the Franscn Bank in Utrecht. Woman: OK, fine. I'll check that in a minute. If we have links with them we can do a direct transfer. But it's not a big problem either way. Urn, let's see. How often would you like to receive statements? Pieter: I haven't really thought. Urn, what's the usual thing? Woman: It's up to you. Some people like them weekly. Pieter: Oh, no, that's too often. Can I have them sent, urn, once a month? Woman: Yes, that's fine. Is there anything else? Pieter: I was thinking of registering for your Internet service at some stage. Woman: Oh, yes. Would you like me to send you information about that? Pieter: Please, yes. Woman: And would you like to receive information about the bank's other services—insurance, loans, anything like that? Pieter: Hmm, I don't think so, thanks. Woman: That's OK then. And one last thing, if you agree... What is Pieter planning to do at the bank? 对话开头Pieter便提出了此行的目的,即要开一个类型为“Select”的活期账户(current account),而不是定期存款账户(deposit account),考生需注意两者的区别。

【答案解析】[听力原文] What is Pieter's office number? 由于Pieter初来乍到,对自己在英国的各种信息并不是十分熟悉,因此在一开始报办公室号码的时候误报为606295,但后来发现问题并纠正了,应该是616295。考生在看到有关数字的题目时应注意记录,避免信息转瞬即逝导致最终无法判断。

【答案解析】[听力原文] Why is mother's name better to check his identity? 对话中银行职员提出,出于安全原因需要身份验证信息(check your identity),Pieter一开始想要提供的是自己妻子的名字,但银行职员提醒说还是母亲的名字更好,因为更不太可能被别人所知(less likely to be known),因此原因为更私密些(more private)。
