一、Dreamtime Travel Agency听力原文：

RECEPTIONIST:Good afternoon,Dreamtime Travel

How can I help you?

CUSTOMER:Oh hello.

I'm interested in the holidays you offer along the coast near here.

RECEPTIONIST:Yes.

We operate several tours up the coast.

Where in particular did you want to go?

CUSTOMER:Well,I like the sound of the holiday that mentioned whales.

Was it'Whale Watching'?

RECEPTIONIST:Oh,that's our Whale Watch Experience.

It's very popular and it's based in a lovely little town with nice beaches.

CUSTOMER:Oh right,and how long does it last?

RECEPTIONIST:It's two days-that includes four hours'travel time each way from here.

CUSTOMER:Good,I don't want to be away any longer than that.

So is that by coach?

RECEPTIONIST:Actually it's by minibus.

We like to keep those tours small and personal so we don't take a whole coachload of people.

In fact,we only take up to fifteen people on this tour,although we do run it with just twelve or thirteen.

CUSTOMER:Oh,right.

So do you run these tours often?

RECEPTIONIST:Well it depends on the time of year.

Of course in peak times like the summer holidays we do them every weekend,but at the moment it's usually once a month at most.

CUSTOMER:And when is the next one going?

RECEPTIONIST:Mmm,let me see.

Um,there's one in three weeks'time which is April the 18th,and then we don't have another one until June the 2nd.

CUSTOMER:All right,and is April a good time to go?

RECEPTIONIST:Pretty good.

Though the really good time is later in the year.

I have to say though that the whale sighting is only one of the many things offered.

CUSTOMER:Really?

RECEPTIONIST:Yes.

The hotel itself where you stay has great facilities.

It's called The Pallisades.

CUSTOMER:The Paris what?

RECEPTIONIST:No,it's actually The Pallisades,P-A-L-L-I-S-A-D-E-S.

It's right on the main beach there.

CUSTOMER:Oh,I see.

RECEPTIONIST:All of the rooms have nice views and the food is really good there too.

CUSTOMER:Oh right.

CUSTOMER:And what about the other things?

You know,that are included in the price.

RECEPTIONIST:Oh,there are lots of things.

If you don't want to do the whale watch cruise,your guide will take anyone who is interested either on(Q5-6)a bushwalk through the national park near the hotel,and there's no extra charge for that,or on a fishing trip.

That's an extra$12 I think.

And there's also a reptile park in town-that costs more or less the same.

CUSTOMER:No,I think I'd prefer whales to snakes.

RECEPTIONIST:Yeah.

And if you just want to relax you are free to sit by the hotel pool or go down the beach.

Oh,and they also have tennis courts at the hotel,but you have to pay for those by the hour.

But there are(Q5-6)table tennis tables downstairs and they're part of the accommodation package.

Just speak to your guide.

CUSTOMER:Well that sounds good.

So how much is the basic tour price?

RECEPTIONIST:At this time of year it's usually around$300 but let me check.

Er...

oh,it's actually$280.

CUSTOMER:And the next tour,are there any places on that one?

RECEPTIONIST:How many people is it for?

CUSTOMER:There are two of us.

RECEPTIONIST:Yes,that should be fine.

Can I just mention that we require all bookings to be made at least fourteen days before you travel to avoid cancellations of tours.

And if you cancel within seven days of departure you will have to pay 50%of your total booking.

CUSTOMER:OK.

RECEPTIONIST:And you also need to pay a 20%deposit at the time of booking.

CUSTOMER:Can I pay that by credit card?

RECEPTIONIST:Yes,you can.

CUSTOMER:All right,what I'll do is I'll talk to my partner and get back to you.

RECEPTIONIST:Fine.

So I'll make a provisional booking,shall I-two for the Whale Watch Experience.

Let me issue you with a customer reference number for when you call back.

Do you have a pen?

CUSTOMER:Yes.

RECEPTIONIST:OK,it's three nine seven,four five,T.

That's T for tango.

When you call back,ask to speak to the Tour Manager,that's me,Tracy.

CUSTOMER:Fine,I will.

二、Dreamtime Travel Agency听力中文翻译：

接待员：下午好，梦之旅

我能为您做些什么？

顾客：哦，你好。

我对你们在附近海岸的度假很感兴趣。

接待员：是的。

我们有几次沿海岸旅行。

你特别想去哪里？

顾客：嗯，我喜欢假日里提到鲸鱼的声音。

是“观鲸”吗？

接待员：哦，这就是我们的观鲸体验。

它非常受欢迎，总部位于一个有着美丽海滩的可爱小镇。

顾客：哦，对了，它能持续多久？

接待员：两天，包括从这里到这里每程四小时的旅行时间。

顾客：很好，我不想再离开了。

那是教练的吗？

接待员：实际上是乘小巴的。

我们喜欢让这些旅行保持小型化和个性化，这样我们就不会带一车人。

事实上，我们这次旅行最多只接待15人，虽然我们确实只接待了12或13人。

顾客：哦，对了。

你经常组织这些旅行吗？

接待员：这取决于一年中的时间。

当然，在像暑假这样的高峰期，我们每个周末都会这样做，但目前通常最多每月一次。

顾客：下一个什么时候去？

接待员：嗯，让我想想。

嗯，三周后有一次是4月18日，然后我们要到6月2日才有另一次。

顾客：好的，四月是去的好时间吗？

接待员：很好。

虽然真正的好时机是在今年晚些时候。

但我不得不说，看到鲸鱼只是提供的众多服务之一。

顾客：真的吗？

接待员：是的。

你住的那家酒店本身设施很好。

它叫帕利萨德斯。

顾客：巴黎什么？

接待员：不，实际上是Pallisades，P-A-L-L-I-s-A-D-E-s。

就在那里的主海滩上。

顾客：哦，我明白了。

接待员：所有房间的景色都很好，那里的食物也很好。

顾客：哦，对了。

顾客：还有其他的呢？

你知道，这已经包括在价格里了。

接待员：哦，有很多东西。

如果你不想进行观鲸巡游，你的导游会带任何有兴趣的人去（Q5-6）酒店附近的国家公园丛林漫步，而且不收取额外费用，或者去钓鱼。

我想那是额外的12美元。

镇上还有一个爬行动物公园，价格差不多。

顾客：不，我想我更喜欢鲸鱼而不是蛇。

接待员：是的。

如果你只是想放松一下，你可以自由地坐在酒店的游泳池旁或去海滩。

哦，旅馆里也有网球场，但你必须按小时付费。

但楼下有（Q5-6）张乒乓球桌，它们是住宿套餐的一部分。

跟你的向导谈谈。

顾客：听起来不错。

那么基本的旅游价格是多少？

接待员：每年这个时候通常是300美元左右，但让我查一下。

呃。。。

哦，实际上是280美元。

顾客：还有下一次旅行，那一次有什么地方吗？

接待员：这是给多少人的？

顾客：我们有两个人。

接待员：好的，应该可以。

请允许我提一下，我们要求所有预订至少在您旅行前14天进行，以避免取消旅行。

如果您在出发后七天内取消预订，您必须支付预订总额的50%。

顾客：好的。

接待员：您还需要在预订时支付20%的押金。

顾客：我可以用信用卡支付吗？

接待员：可以。

顾客：好吧，我要做的就是和我的搭档谈谈，然后再给你回复。

接待员：好的。

所以，我会临时预订两张鲸鱼观赏体验票，好吗。

让我给你一个客户参考号码，以便你回电话时使用。

你有钢笔吗？

顾客：是的。

接待员：好的，现在是三九七，四五，T。

那不是探戈。

当你回电话时，请和旅游经理谈谈，那是我，特蕾西。

顾客：好的，我会的。

五、Dreamtime Travel Agency听力答案解析

Question 1 by minibus/a minibus.当看到题目当中出现transportation的时候，考生需要在听力的过程中有意识地捕捉表示交通工具的词语。听力原文中出现了coach，但是随后紧接着出现的actually是一个非常明显的信号，它告知考生coach为干扰项。答案应该是actually之后紧接着出现的单词。

Question 2 15/15 people.这是一道数字题，在听力考试当中，数字题是一个必考点。题目提示maximum group size暗示考生在听力原文中可能出现一连串数字，解题方法是把所有出现的数字记下，然后从中挑选最大的数字。并且，原文中提到的in fact就已经暗示答案是15而不是干扰项12 or 13。

Question 3 April（the）18th.这道题考查考生对时间信息的把握。原文中提到两个时间，其中June the 2nd是干扰项，原文中两次提到April，这样考生可以排除干扰项，因为在听力考试当中，凡是重复提到的信息一般都是正确答案，根据这个原则可以排除干扰项。

Question 4 Pallisades.从题目hotel name中考生可以判断出答案是一个专有名词，应该大写首字母。原文中把所有字母都拼出来，在考试当中凡是把字母拼写出来的单词都很有可能是答案，因而，考生需要记下这些细节信息。

Question 5 B/D.首先考生必须找出题目的重点“include in the price of the tour”，意思是哪两项娱乐项目是包含在旅行费用当中的。原文中首先提到bushwalk，并且提到“no extra

charge”。可以看出，题目中的“include in the price of the tour”和“no extra charge”是同义转换，因而可以选出正确答案。

Question 6 D/B.在听力原文中提到了“but there are table tennis tables downstairs and they are part of the accommodation package.”在这句话中，“part of the accommodation

package”是“include in the price of the tour”的同义转换，意思是打乒乓球的费用已经包含在住宿费用之中，不需要额外付费。

Question 7 280.文中出现$300等干扰数据，考生需关注路标词actually，出现在这个单词之前的信息都不可能成为答案，其后的信息才是重点。

Question 8 14.首先判断出该空需要填写的是数字，然后听到路标词bookings就可以写出正确答案，文后出现的7 days和cancellations（取消预约）有关，与bookings无关。

Question 9 20%.deposit是此题的信号词，考生听到“X%+deposit”这样的语法结构应记下数字。

Question 10 39745T.reference number是此题的关键，只要考生听到这个词组，记下数字即可。
