Conversation One
W: OK, that's it. Now we have to make a decision. We might as well do that now, don't you think?
M: Sure, let's see. First we saw Frank Brisenski. What did you think of him?
W: Well, he's certainly a very polite young man.
M: And very relaxed, too.
W: But his appearance…
M: En… He wasn't well dressed. He wasn't even wearing a tie.
W: But he did have a nice voice. He sounded good on the telephone.
M: True. And I thought he seemed very intelligent. He answered Dona's questions very well.
W: That's true, but dressing well is important. Well, let's think about the others. Now what about Barbara Jones? She had a nice voice, too. She sounded good on the telephone, and she was well dressed, too.
M: En… She did look very neat, very nicely dressed, but…
W: But so shy. She wouldn't be very good at talking to people at the front desk.
M: En…OK. Now who was the next? Ar…Yes, David Wallace. I thought he was very good, had a lot of potential. What do you think?
W: En… He seemed like a very bright guy. He dressed very nicely, too. And he had a really nice appearance.
M: He seemed relaxed to me, the type of person people feel comfortable with right away.
W: He was polite, but also very friendly and relaxed as you say. I think he'll be good with the guests at the front desk.
M: He had a very pleasant voice, too.
W: That's right. OK, good! I guess we have our receptionist then, don't you?
M: Yes, I think so. We'll just offer the job to…
Q9:What are the speakers looking for?
预览三道题各选项,其中出现了hotel receptionist,private secretary,shop assistant,sales manager等与职业相关的词语,还出现了Appearance,Manners,interview,Offer the job,Hire等与求职相关的词语,因此预测对话可能与求职面试相关。
本题难度较大,需要结合对话整体进行理解。对话中男士和女士在商议某个职位的合适人选。女士在评价Barbara Jones时提到,她有些腼腆,不适合在服务台与人交流;在评价David Wallace时提到,他在服务台能够与客人们相处得很好。由此可见这个职位是在服务台工作。另外,在对话的最后女士一语道破,提到他们找到了合适的接待员。由此可知,他们讨论的职位是接待员,故本题答案为A。

Q10:What is Frank Brisenski's weakness?
对话中,男士和女士首先讨论Frank Brisenski是否为合适人选。在谈及缺点时,男士提到他不注意着装,甚至不打领带。女士也认为注意着装对这个岗位很重要,建议考虑其他人选。由此可见Frank Brisenski的缺点在于不注意着装,即外表,故本题答案为C。
