Listening Part:
· Listen to a conversation between two students.
(man) Hey, Kerri, what’s the matter?
(woman) Well, you know I’m in the choir, right? And we have a concert in an hour, just an hour from now?
(man) I know, I’m going, really looking forward to hearing you sing. What’s the trouble?
(woman) ①Well, we’re all supposed to wear white shirts and black pants at the concert. You know, so we all look the same.
(man) Right?
(woman) Well, I wore my white shirt to dinner and I spilt spaghetti sauce all over it.
(man) Oh, no!
(woman) Yeah, there’s a huge red stein on it. I can’t wear it for the concert now. It’s the only white shirt I have and there’s no time to go to the store to buy another one.
(man) Wow! What are you gonna do?
(woman) Well, I just called the choir director and he’s obviously unhappy about all this.② But I told him about another shirt I have, it’s not exactly white, not white like the others, sort of off white, sort of cream-colored? And he says it’s OK for me to wear it, but…
(man) But it’s not exactly the same color as the others.
(woman) Right. I’ll feel kind of funny. Some people in the audience would probably be able to tell.
(man) Hmmm. Don’t any of the other choir members have an extra white shirt you could borrow?
(woman)③ No, I’ve already asked around. But my roommate has one.
(man) Great, use hers.
(woman) ④Well, the thing is, she’s out of town. I’ve tried calling her but haven’t been able to reach her. She probably wouldn’t mind, but, you know, I’ve never borrowed her stuff before and I really don’t like taking things without asking.
Question:
Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.
一.范文
The woman’s problem is that she needs to perform in a concert but her white shirt is stained with dinner sauce. The first solution is for her to wear a cream-colored shirt to the concert, or she can take her roommate’s white shirt and use it first. I think the first solution is better for the following reasons. First of all, a cream colored shirt will look almost the same as a white shirt under the bring stage light, very few people will be able to make out the difference. Also, the second solution is not a good idea because it’s not polite to take other people’s belonging without asking.
二.重点词汇
1. choir:n. 唱诗班;合唱队;舞蹈队
He has been singing in his church choir since he was six.
2. concert:n. 音乐会;一致;和谐
I want people to remember Elvis in concert.
3. spaghetti:n. 意大利式细面条
It's often tossed with spaghetti and toasted breadcrumbs, the Pantescan answer to grated Parmesan.
4. stein:n. (容量约为一品脱的)啤酒杯
The Stein room is where the collection's most prestigious silk paintings live, far from public gaze.
三.重点句型
1. ①be supposed to do应该….,我们都应该在音乐会上穿着白色的衬衫和黑色的裤子。这个是音乐会的要求,但是我在吃晚饭的时候,白衬衫上粘了很多意大利面的酱。这两句话表明了这位女士遇到的问题。在task5中,对话双方遇到的问题是我们需要特别注意的地方,这个问题往往是我们答题的要点。
2. ②but是转折连词,但是,当听力中出现but ,well等词汇的时候我们需要特别注意,sort of有几分地;到某种程度;稍稍。这句话表明了关于这个问题所提出的第一个观点是穿另一件衣服,但是这个方案的缺点是不像大家的一样那么白。在task5中,针对遇到的问题提出的解决方案和每个方案的好坏是需要我们注意的地方,这是我们答题的重点。
3. ③给出了第二个方案,借室友的白色衬衫穿。
4. ④out of离开,mind 介意,reach联络到。 但是,事情很难办的原因是我的室友并不在镇里,我尝试联系她却没有成功。如果我自己拿,她可能不会介意,但是我不喜欢这种不问自取的方式。表明了方案二的缺点,这个缺点可以作为我们在task5中表达自己观点的理由,所以也是听力中的重点。
四.解析
