AMINA: Oh, that's alright. I was just very anxious to hear what you think of it. You can see that I decided to change the topic - I had been interested in looking at Barings Factory. BRYSON: Oh, I think the hospital was a much better choice. In fact.., well... I have to 【Q21】 say that I thought it was good. AMINA: Oh？ BRYSON: There's still lots of work to be done... AMINA: Oh yes.., of course. BRYSON: But there's plenty of good ideas. It opens well and the first chapter is fine but the middle section really stood out for me... most interesting. 【Q22】 AMNA: That's amazing because I really didn't find it a bit easy to write... 【Q23】 BRYSON: How long did you work on the whole thing？ AMINA: Well, I spent about two or three weeks reading and doing general research and then I dashed the writing off very quickly.., so about four weeks in all. BRYSON: Well, that's about par for the course. You've got a while yet to make the changes. AMINA: Oh right.., no problem... BRYSON: Right. Let's have a look at my notes here. OK. Starting with section headings …. the broad divisions are good but you'll have to re-do the actual headings. Example I've made some suggestions in the margins... AMINA: OK. Thanks. BRYSON: Now, this information on local housing... I can see why you put it there but it 【Q24】 really isn't relevant to the approach you've taken. AMINA: I think I see what you mean. BRYSON: Now... what did I say about the interviews？ AMNA: I worked very hard on those. I really thought they were valuable. BRYSON: They are, Amina, but they're very complex and rather unclear at the moment. You're going to have to spend a bit of time making the data a lot clearer. 【Q25】 AMINA: OK... as long as I don't have to remove them altogether... BRYSON: No, don't worry. AMINA: What about the chronology.., the list of dates？ I wasn't sure whether I should rewrite those. BRYSON: My advice on that is to take them out. I feel it makes the whole piece appear 【Q26】 too simplistic. AMINA: OK, if it'll help. .......................................................................................................................................................... BRSON: Now, there are a couple of other books I'd like you to look at. Have you got a pen？ Right... Approaches to Local History by John Mervis... AMINA: Right... BRYSON: And then I think you need to think about ways of representing interview data. Have a look at Sight and Sound by Kate Oakwell. 【Q27】 AMINA: Sight and Sound. BRYSON: Then you know I'm going away on holiday next week... AMINA: Yes. BRYSON: So when you've made the changes I suggest you show the work to your 【Q28】 Support Tutor. AMINA: Support Tutor... right... BRYSON: Then you do the proof reading... 【Q29】 AMINA: Proof reading.., uh-huh. When by, do you think？ BRYSON: I'd aim for 29 June and after that you should get it laser printed.., but be &nb A．school. B．hospital. C．factory.

(22) A．I'm not sure if you are responsible. B．I'm not content with the result of the meeting. C．I know the delay is not your fault. D．I think the flame of that fire is too high.

听力原文： Not until somewhat recently (that is, in terms of human history) did people find a need for knowing the time of day. As best we know, 5000 to 6000 years ago great civilizations in the Middle East and North Africa initiated clock-making. With their bureaucracies and formal religions, these cultures found a need to organize their time more efficiently. The Egyptians were the next to formally divide their day into parts something like our hours. Obelisks (slender, tapering, four-sided monuments) were built as early as 3500 B. C. Their moving shadows formed a kind of sundial, enabling citizens to partition the day into two parts by indicating noon. They also showed the year's longest and shortest days when the shadow at noon was the shortest or longest of the year. Later, markers added around the base of the monument would indicate further time subdivisions. Another Egyptian shadow clock or sundial, possibly the first portable timepiece, came into use around 1500 B.C. to measure the passage of "hours". This device divided a sunlit day into 10 parts plus two "twilight hours" in the morning and evening. When the long stem with 5 variably spaced marks was oriented east and west in the morning, an elevated crossbar on the east end cast a moving shadow over the marks. At noon, the device was turned in the opposite direction to measure the afternoon "hours". In the quest for more year-round accuracy, sundials evolved from flat horizontal or vertical plates to more elaborate forms. One version was the hemispherical dial, a bowl shaped depression cut into a block of stone, carrying a central vertical gnomon (pointer) and scribed with sets of hour lines for different seasons. The hemicycle, said to have been invented about 300 B. C. , removed the useless half of the hemisphere to give an appearance of a half bowl cut into the edge of a squared block. (33) A．4000 - 5000. B．50 - 60,000. C．500 - 600. D．5000 - 6000.

M: Me too. Take it easy. I consider it a natural human response. You just need time and practice. Practice makes perfect. Q: What does the man mean？ (17) A．She should follow the human nature. B．Strangers are nothing to be afraid of. C．Feeling nervous is nothing improper. D．She should accept strangers' presents naturally.

W: Well, of course you can always look in the yellow pages in the back of the telephone book under shoe repair. But I think there's a good shop not far from here. Take the first street to the left and walk around three blocks. I can't remember the name of the shop, but you'll run into it. It's near the police station. By the way, do you know about the town guide？ It has all kinds of useful information. I think you'll find it in any bookstore. M: Thanks a lot. You've been very helpful. And I'll look for that town guide next time I'm in a bookstore. Let's see, you said the repair shop was three blocks on the right？ W: No, first street on the left, then three blocks. M: Thanks again. What is the man looking for？ A．The bookstore. B．A town guide. C．A shoe repair shop.

M: Thank you, Miss Carlyle, I'm in bad need of such suggestions because, to be frank, my company, although small, is rapidly expanding. And please, call me Len. So, what are your recommendations for my new organizational structure？ W: Call me Mary. First, let's start with your operation here. You should set up separate Administrative, Clerical, Back office, and Support functions. There's too much work for your personnel to wear more than one hat any more. M: Yes, they're already overworked. But that will entail more Managerial functions, won't it？ W: That's right, Lea, and you'll need at least two new managers for separate Marketing and Product Development departments. M: OK, Mary. What else？ W: I think you'll need an Executive assistant to help you deal with corporate affairs. That should do it for your headquarters here, but since your business is no longer just local, I also suggest setting up a regional office in the south. M: What about personnel there？ W: You'll need the same basic functionality as here, on a reduced scale. Product Development is only needed at headquarters for now. Your regional head can manage all functions there initially, but will probably need an assistant, also. And that's it! M: Thanks for your advice, Mary. You do help a lot. Looks like I'll need that assistant right away to help me set all this up! (23) A．A personnel manager. B．A business consultant. C．A secretary. D．An assistant.
