ADDENDA
Listening Test 1
International English Language Testing System. This is the IELTS
listening test 1995.
Instructions: you will hear a number of different recordings, and
you will have to answer questions on what you hear. There will be
time for you to read the instructions and questions. And you will
have a chance to check your work. All the recordings will be played
once only. The test is in four sections. Write all you answers in
the listening question booklet. At the end of the real test, Now
turn to Section 1 on Page 2 of your booklet.
Section One.
You and a friend are looking for a place to live. You have a list of
places and go to see the housing officer to check on a number of
points. Listen to the conversation between your friend and the
housing officer, and complete the list. First you have some time to
look at question 1 to 6 on the housing list.
(20 seconds)
You will see there is an example which has been done for you. On
this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played
first.
The Students: We are looking for somewhere to live and have this
list, but there are one or two things we like to know about some of
the places. Can you help?
Housing officer: Yes, of course. Oh yes, you've got the right list
there. What do you want to know?
The student: What about the one on Salisbury Road? We got the number
of the rooms. We know it's unfurnished(adj.
没有装修的,没有家具的)But how much is it a week?
Housing officer: Let me see. That one's 120 pounds a week. The
accommodation in Salisbury Road costs 120 pounds per week. So in the
example "120 pounds" has been written down in the
"Price per week" column for 82 Salisbury Road. Now we
shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because
you will not hear the recording a second time.
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
The student: We are looking for somewhere to live and have this
list, but there are one or two things we like to know about some of
the places. Can you help?
Housing officer: Yes, of course. Oh yes, you've got the right list
there. What do you want to know?
The student: What about the one on Salisbury Road? We got the number
of the rooms. We know it's unfurnished. But how much is it a week?
Housing officer: Let me see. That one's 120 pounds a week.
The student: What about the one on Wicken Street? It looks quite
central(adj. 位置好的,位于市中心的) on the map, but it
doesn't say how big it is, or what the price is.
Housing officer: Let me just check my files. I think it's quite a
new one. Yes, it's got a double bedroom, sitting room, kitchen, and
bathroom. It's on the first floor of a very nice house, and the
owner Mrs. Jarvis wants 90 pounds a week.
The student: EH, that's a little bit expensive. But I think we could
manage it. What about the rooms on Sillwood Street? How many are
there?
Housing officer: As it says on the list, there are two of them, and
you have to share the kitchen and bathroom. But if you are friends,
it shouldn't be a problem, should it?
The student: No. We quite like to go and see them. Do you have a
telephone number we could ring?
Housing officer: Sorry, didn't we put it on the form? It's 742735.
That's Brighton number of course, So that's 01273742735, It's a nice
area, and it's near the railway station, which is an advantage.
The student: Yes, we did want to be central.
Housing officer: The other one that's central is 164 Preston Road.
The student: 164 Preston Road. Oh yes, I've got it.
Housing officer: It's quite cheap too, only 68 pounds, and it's on
the ground floor. You ought to go and see the rooms of Mrs. Tonks in
Harrow Road. They are very nice as well.
The student: Sorry, what was her name? It's not on the form.
Housing officer: Wasn't it? It's Mrs. Tonks. That's T-o-n-k-s.
The student: Thanks for all your help. We will try to go and see a
few of them this week. You decide that you would like to talk to
Mrs. Jarvis. Look at questions 7 to 9. (15 seconds)
Now listen to your friend's telephone conversation with Mrs.
Jarvis, and answer question 7 to 9. Write no more than three words
for each answer.
Mrs. Jarvis: Brighton, 774621.
The student: Hello, is that Mrs. Jarvis?
Mrs. Jarvis: Yes, that's right.
The student: We are studying at the university, and the housing
officer has given your name and address. Is the accommodation(n.
住房) still available?
Mrs. Jarvis: Yes, it is. The present students are leaving soon, so
it will be ready in two weeks time.
The student: That's good. Ah, I wonder if you could just give me a
few more details.
Mrs. Jarvis: Yes, of course. What would you like to know?
The student: Well, is there a phone?
Mrs. Jarvis: Not in your rooms, but there is a pay phone in the
entrance hall. It's all quite well furnished though. It' got a
television, fridge(n. 电冰箱), washing machine, and a new stove.
The only thing you have to bring is your bed linen. I don't provide
sheets, blankets, or towels.
The student: That sounds nice. What kind of heating does it have?
Mrs. Jarvis: Well, there is a radiator in every room. Look, why
don't you come and have a look around?
The student: Thank you very much. Eh, when it will be convenient?
Mrs. Jarvis: What about tomorrow? I will be in all morning.
The student: Yes, that's fine. What bus should we take?
Mrs. Jarvis: Oh, the number 72. It stops right outside the house.
And buses run to and from the university every half-hour.
The student: Thank you very much. We will see you tomorrow then.
That is the end of Section One. You now have half a minute to check
your answers.
