Long Conversation 1

Man: Today our guest is Rosie Melinda (Q1) who works as a features editor for Fashion magazine. Hi Rosie, you're a features editor at one of the most widely read women's magazines in the U.K. What kind of responsibilities does that job entail?

Woman: We spend our days looking at ideas from journalists, writing copy for the magazine and website and editing. We do random things like asking people in the street questions and testing sports clothing. We also do less tangible things like understanding what our readers want. It's certainly varied and sometimes bizarre.

Man: During your working day what kind of work might you typically do?

Woman: My day mainly incorporates responding to emails (Q2), writing and editing stories and coming up with new feature ideas.

Man: How does the job of features editor differ from that of fashion editor or other editorial positions?

Woman: The feature's team deals with articles such as careers, reports, confidence and confessions. Everything except to fashion and beauty.

Man: A lot of people believe that working at a magazine is a glamorous job (Q3). Is this an accurate representation of what you do?

Woman: I'd say it's glamorous to an extent, but not in the way it's portrayed in films. We do have our moments such as interviewing celebrities and attending parties which is a huge thrill. Ultimately though, we're the same as our readers. But working in a job we're all very lucky to have.

Man: Did you have to overcome any difficulties to reach this point in your career? How did you manage to do this?

Woman: I had to be really persistent and it was very hard work. After three years of working in a petrol station and doing unpaid work I still hadn't managed to get an entry level job. I was lucky that my last desperate attempt led to a job (Q4). I told myself that all experiences make you a better journalist in the long run and luckily, I was right.

Questions one to four based on the conversation you have just heard.
Q1: What is the woman's profession?
Q2: What is one of the woman's main responsibilities?
Q3: What do many people think about the woman's job?
Q4: What helped the woman to get her current position?

单选题
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】

对话中女士提到:“我一天的工作主要是回复邮件,撰写和编辑故事,想一些新的专题构想。” 由 此可以得知,该女士一天中的主要工作有三项,即回复邮件、撰写和编辑故事以及想一些新的专题构想,选项 C “回复日常邮件” 是其中之一,与对话内容相符,故为正确答案。其他三项在对话中均未提及,故可排除。

单选题
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】

对话中男士问道:“ 很多人认为杂志社的工作是一份富有魅力的工作。这是对你工作的准确描述 吗?” 女士回答说:“ 我想说它在某种程度上是迷人的… …” ,因此选项B 与对话内容相符,为正确答案。 根据这句话也可排除选项C , 因为选项C 中的 “ 无聊的,令人厌烦的” 与选项B正好相反 ,是负向描述。 其他两项对话中未提及,故排除。

单选题
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】

在对话的最后,男士问道:“在你的职业生涯中,你必须克服一切困难才能达到目前这个阶段吗?你是怎么做到的?” 女士回答说:“我必须非常执着,这是一份非常辛苦的工作。” 由此可知,选项A 为正确答案,persistence是对话中persistent的名词形式,意为 “执着,坚持不懈”。其余三项原文均未提到 ,都可排除。
