B
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Good morning, Mrs. I am Alexander Ford. W: Good morning. Have a seat please. Mr. Ford, we have here your application for a salesman job. Can you tell us something about yourself? M: I am a graduate. I am twenty-one years old. In my B.A., I had commerce as my major. W: Do you have any previous experience in sales? M: This is my first regular job. I was a student before this. But I do have a little experience in sales. W: If this is to be your first job, where did you get the experience in sales? M: During my summer vacation, I used to work as a part-time door-to-door salesman for a lady who embroidered table linen at home. I went from door to door selling her handiwork. I earned a small commission on the goods that I sold. W: That was enterprising of you. Didn't that door-to-door selling interfere with your Studies? M: Not really, Mrs. I did this work during my holidays when I had little else to do. W: Do you speak Hindi, Mr. Ford? That would be an essential requirement for a salesman in this area. Not everyone here speaks English. M: Yes, I do have a working knowledge of Hindi, Mrs. W: Why did you decide to take a job as a salesman? M: I think that a salesman's job is an exciting and interesting one. It is a challenge and one would feel a great satisfaction in achieving the targets set. W: Oh, I see. Well, I think our interview is completed then. Are there any questions you would like to ask me? M: No, not at the moment. W: Well, it was nice meeting you. We'll write to you shortly to let you know the result of the interview once we agree on the right candidate. Thank you for coming. Goodbye. Q: What's the purpose of Mr. Ford's visit? 男:早上好,女士。我是亚历山大·福特。 女:早上好。请坐。福特先生,我们这里收到了你对销售员一职的申请。能和我们说说自己的情况吗? 男:我是个毕业生,今年21岁,在贸易专业获得了文学学士学位。 女:你之前有过任何销售经验吗? 男:这是我的第一份正式工作。在这之前我还是名学生。但我确实有过一点儿销售经验。 女:如果这将是你的第一份工作,你在哪里获得的销售经验呢? 男:暑假时,我曾经做兼职为一名在家给亚麻桌布刺绣的女士做过上门推销。我挨家挨户地推销她的手工制品,从货物所卖钱数中挣取一小部分佣金。 女:你很有进取心。那上门推销难道不影响你的学习吗? 男:其实不影响,女士。我在假期里做的这份工作,假期也没什么别的事可做。 女:福特先生,你会说印地语吗?会说印地语是一个销售员在此地工作的必要条件。这里不是每个人都会说英语。 男:会说,我的确粗通印地语,女士。 女:为什么你决定要做一名销售员? 男:我认为销售员的工作很刺激,很有趣。它是一份具有挑战性的工作,一个人如能完成设定的目标会有巨大的满足感。 女:嗯,我明白了。那么,我想我们的面试到这可以结束了。你还有想要问我的问题吗? 男:没有,现在没有。 女:好的,很高兴见到你。一旦我们对合适人选达成一致意见,会很快写信通知你面试的结果。感谢你的到来。再见。 ①四项均以不定式开头。 ②两项含有表示面试的词(interviewed for a job, interview)。 结论:本题是对目的进行提问,可能与某人参加面试有关。 对话开头女士对男士说:“我们这里收到了你对销售员一职的申请,能和我们说说自己的情况吗?”由此可知,男士之所以来女士的公司是为了参加面试,故B项正确。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] Q: What can we conclude from the conversation? ①四项均含有Mr. Ford,两项提到了the woman。 ②三项含有与是否合格或录用有关的词(thinks...lacks experience, seems to meet every requirement, decide whether to hire)。 结合前两题的分析可知,该题可能考查女士对男士是否适合所应聘职位的看法。 对话中,当女士问男士是否有销售经验时,男士说暑假时曾做过上门推销,故可排除A项;女士只问男士是否会说印地语,并说这是在当地工作的必要条件,但并没有提到要让男士去国外工作,故B项错误;对话最后,女士说一旦他们对合适人选达成一致意见,会很快给男士写信,通知他面试结果,故可知是否录用福特先生并非由女士自己决定,D项也可排除。本题选C。
