　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.

Conversation One

M：I really don’t know what to do this summer. I can’t afford to just sit around, and there don’t seem to be any jobs available.

W：Why don’t you try house sitting? Last summer my friend Margaret house sat for the Dodds when they are away on vacation. Mr. Dodd hired Margaret to stay in their house because he didn’t want it left empty.

M：You mean the Dodds paid Margaret just to live in their house?

W：It wasn’t that easy. She had to mow the lawn and water the house plants. And when Eric house sat for Dr. Cohen, he had to take care of her pets.

M：House�瞫itting sounds like a good job. I guess it’s a little like baby�瞫itting, expect you are taking care of the house instead of children.

W：The Student Employment Office still has a few jobs posted.

M：Do you just have to fill out an application?

W：Margaret and Eric had to interview with the house owners and provide three references each.

M：That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.

W：Well, the house owners want some guarantee that they can trust the house sitter. You know, they want to make sure you’re not the type who’ll throw wild parties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you.

M：House sitters who do that sort of things probably aren’t paid then?

W：Usually they’re paid anyway just because the house owners don’t want to make a fuss. But if the house owner reported it, then the house�瞫itter wouldn’t be able to get another job. So why don’t you apply?

M：Yeah, I think I will.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

19. What does the man want to do this summer?

【解析】D 對(duì)話一開(kāi)始男士即說(shuō)暑假不能待著，但似乎沒(méi)有什么可行的工作，即說(shuō)明他想假期做一份兼職。

20.What did the Dodds do when they went away last summer?

【解析】A Mr. Dodd hired Margaret to stay in their house because he didn’t want it left empty. 從這一句中可以看出 Dodds一家去年夏天外出時(shí)，他們雇了Margaret 在他們家看家。

21.What is one responsibility the house�瞫itter probably wouldn’t have?

【解析】C House�瞫itting sounds like a good job. I guess it’s a little like baby�瞫itting, expect you are taking care of the house instead of children. 從這句話中可看出 house�瞫itting的工作類(lèi)似于保姆 baby�瞫itting，只是除了要照顧孩子。

22.How do house owners determine the reliability of a house�瞫itter?

【解析】B Margaret and Eric had to interview with the house owners and provide three references each. 從這句話中可以看出房屋主人對(duì)應(yīng)聘者進(jìn)行了面試，并且每位應(yīng)聘者分別提供三份介紹信。

Conversation Two

M：You’ve worked in a university before, haven’t you?

W：Yes, in Britain, yes.

M：What, how do students go about getting jobs when they graduate?

W：Well, most universities have a Careers Advice Service. I used to know the people in the Careers Service in Newcastle University and they, in fact, seem fairly successful in finding jobs for students. They are able to get jobs for 30��40% of new graduates.

M：That seems a fairly low percentage.

W：Well...it’s not if you consider the various other options which people take up. For example, there are a fair number of people I don’t remember the exact number, who go into further study, who carry straight on into master’s degrees. Either at the same university or another university. So that’s fair chunk. Then there are others, a second group of people, who decide not to take a career job immediately after university. Instead, they decide to take time off, maybe see the world, and...and...well there is a third group, the people who can’t actually get the jobs they wait for a job they really want. So when I say 30��40% find jobs through the careers service, that doesn’t mean that only that number find jobs. A lot of other people find jobs through the newspapers.

M：So it is quite high really, yes.

W：Oh, I think so, relatively, yes. And quite a lot of other people of course look in newspapers and the particular journals or magazines which advertise jobs in the fields they’re interested in.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard

23.What are the man and the woman talking about?

【解析】C 兩個(gè)人討論的是關(guān)于大學(xué)生畢業(yè)后找工作的問(wèn)題，通過(guò)什么渠道找工作。Job hunting 即為找工作之意。

24.What is the percentage of college graduates getting jobs through university help?

【解析】B 女士介紹說(shuō)大學(xué)里的介紹工作的服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)可以幫助30%-40% 的畢業(yè)生找到工作。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)里只有三分之一在這個(gè)數(shù)字范圍之內(nèi)。

25.What do most college graduates in Britain do when they graduate?

【解析】A 大多數(shù)畢業(yè)生畢業(yè)之后是去找工作，他們通過(guò)學(xué)校的工作介紹機(jī)構(gòu)，或者通過(guò)報(bào)紙、雜志等找工作。
