1 全国国际商务英语培训认证考试(一级) 听力原文 Listening Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear five short sentences.

Each sentence will be spoken twice. At the end of each sentence there will be a pause. During the pause, you are required to fill in the corresponding blank according to what you' ve heard. Then write your answer on the Answer Sheet. Example: You' ll hear: Mr. White is leaving at 1:30 and won' t be back until 5:00, so you can call him after that. You' ll read: Mr. White will be back before . From the sentence we learn that Mr. White will be back before 5:00. Therefore you should write 5:00 in the corresponding blank on your Answer Sheet. Now the test will begin. 1. Mr. Malay will leave the hotel at 2:00 p.m., and arrive at the airport at 3:30 p.m. 2. Please phone Mr. North at 2839475, and his extension number is 776. 3.

At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and question will be spoken only once. After each question, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Example: You will hear: M:Helen, could you email the new catalogue to all our contacts in France? W: Sorry, my computer broke down yesterday. Iwill as soon as I have it fixed. Q: What does the woman imply? You will read: A. She will post it later . B. She could not contact the man. C. She' s not sure if the computer is fixed. D. She can' t send it right now. From the conversation we learn that the woman cannot send the new catalogue immediately. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
