W: Good morning, listeners. Today I’d like to introduce our guest speaker George Allen from the British Council, [6]
who is going to talk to us about living in the UK.
George, over to you.
M: Thank you. As you are no doubt aware the UK is becoming a popular destination for people who wish to study at university, so what I’d like to do is, well, just give you listeners an insight into what living in the UK is really like.
W: What do students have to consider first before they go?
M: Finance, of course. Britain is quite an expensive place to live in. Therefore, you need to consider costs very carefully. [7]
And one of the major expenses is tuition fees.
University courses range from about 5,000 pounds to 8,000 pounds, depending on the type of course. Then, other expenses such as books, which can cost about 500 pounds per year.
W: That’s a considerable amount. Then where do you suggest students to stay?
M: [8]
As for accommodation, many people prefer to stay in the university’s hall of residence because living on campus is a lot cheaper than living off campus.
A room in halls would cost you about 80 pounds per week outside of London. The north of England, however, is much ’cheaper.
W: Then what about living off campus?
M: Well, you can rent a private house with a group of other students. You may think this would be an expensive option, but if you share the cost with three or four other students it can actually work out cheaper than a room on campus. But do bear in mind that you have additional transport costs to and from university.
W: That’s good news. What is the climate like in the UK?
M: Britain is famous for its bad weather and for good reasons. [9]
It rains often in the UK, and even in the summer it can still be quite cold.
So take plenty of warm clothes with you.
W: You bet. George, some listeners are anxious about food there. Is it really unpleasant?
M: Many people who visit the UK often find the food rather boring and uninteresting. This is because, generally, [10]
people don’t use spices in their cooking.
Nevertheless, some of the food, I must say, is actually rather good. And the cheapest places to eat out are often local pubs, where they serve excellent home-cooked food, as well as serving as the centre of social life in most towns and cities in the UK.
W: George, you have given us valuable advice on living in the UK. It’s very beneficial to our listeners. Thanks a lot.
M: It’s my pleasure.
6. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?
7. What can we learn from the conversation about tuition fees?
8. What can we learn from the conversation about accommodation?
9. What is the climate like in the UK?
10. What can we learn from the conversation about food in the UK?
选项
A、The food is rather rich.
B、The food is not spicy.
C、Home-cooked food is not served anywhere.
D、It is cheap to eat in school canteens.
答案
B
解析
根据选项的关键词The food,Home-cooked food,eat,canteens可推测本题问食物。录音中男士提到,英国人煮食物时不会放香料,由此可见英国食物很清淡,B项符合会话意思,故为答案。A项的rich跟会话中的boring and uninteresting相悖,可排除;男士提到当地酒吧提供Home-cooked food,据此可知C错误:D项school canteens未在会话中提及。可排除。
