W: Good evening. King’s restaurant.
M: Good evening. I’m ringing about the job. I understand you have vacant?
W: Oh, yes.
M: I’d like to find out a few more details if I may.
W: Yes, of course. Can I take your name?
M: It’s Peter Chin.
W: Ok, Peter. Well, if you want to ask about the job and then if we’re both still interested, we could arrange you to come for an interview.
M: Great, thanks, [1]I’m afraid I missed the advert for the job but I heard about it from a friend.
W: That’s no problem at all. What would you like to know?
M: Well, urn, what sort of work is it—washing up?
W: No. [2]It’s answering the phone.
M: Oh, right, fine.
W: And not waiting at table.
M: That’ll be good. And how many nights a week would it be?
W: Well, we’re really only busy at the weekend.
M: So two nights?
W: Three actually, so it would work out 12 hours a week.
M: That’d be fine. It wouldn’t interfere with my studies.
W: Are you in the university?
M: Yes, first year Physics student.
W: Oh, right.
M: [3]Because I’m not an EU national, would I need a work permit?
W: [3]Yes, you would. Just get you tutor to sign it.
M: That wouldn’t be a problem if I were to get the job. Um, where exactly is the restaurant?
W: Well, we have two branches—the one we’re recruiting for is in Hillsdunne road.
M: Got that, thanks. Is it near a bus stop?
W: Yes, the nearest one would probably be just beside the library.
M: Oh, yes, I know it. That’ll be fine for me. And could I ask about the pay?
W: We’re offering 4.45 pounds an hour.
M: That’s very good. My last job was 3.95 an hour.
W: We feel it’s pretty good and we also offer some good fringe benefits.
M: Really?
W: [4]Well, we give you a free dinner, so you eat well.
M: Right. Better than hostel food.
W: We certainly hope so. And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays.
M: Oh, that’s a really good perk, isn’t it?
W: Yes, we think so. And then because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you’re working after 11 o’clock, we drive you home.
M: Oh, that’s good to know.
W: We’d certainly be interested in inviting you for an interview, if you’re still interested?
M: Oh, yes, certainly. Could I just also ask what qualities you’re looking for?
W: [5]Well, for this particular job, we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have. And you must be able to think quickly, you know.
M: Well, I hope I’d...
W: So, when could you come in for an interview? How about 5pm tonight?
M: That’s fine. See you tonight.
1. How did the man know about the job?
2. What is the main responsibility of the job?
3. Why does the man need a working permit?
4. What do we know about the fringe benefits of the job?
5. According to the woman, what quality does the man surely have?

选项 A、Because he is an overseas student.
B、Because he isn’t an European Union citizen.
C、Because he hasn’t got any work experience.
D、Because he is not an European national.

答案 B

解析 ①选项都以Because开头,预测本题问原因。②男士说他不是EU national“欧盟国的公民”,问女士是否需要提供工作许可证,女士说要的,所以B正确,该项European Union citizen和录音EU national是同义转换。③A项“他是留学生”和D项“他不是欧洲人”有很大的干扰性。录音提到。只要是欧盟国家的公民就不需要工作许可证。虽然男士是留学生,但他有可能是欧盟国家的人,所以A错误;此外,欧洲国家不等同于欧盟国家,所以D项也不能选。C项“没有工作经验”与原文意思不符,而且也不是需要提供工作许可证的原因。
