Conversation 2
W: Hello, good afternoon.[12] I have an inquiry to make. It’s about the vegetarian food festival you are holding on the 19th of August at the Newcastle City Hall.
M: Yes, of course. My name’s Philip. How can I help you?
W:[13] It says on your website that you are still looking for vendors,and I grow organic vegetables on my farm, as well as doing my own home baking. Would I be able to sell both the vegetables and items baked from them at the festival?
M: That’s exactly the type of thing we are looking for. [14] We’re getting close to the deadline, however. Do you prefer to fill out an application on the web, or to print it out and fill it in by hand and then post it back to us? Remember that you will have to have all your certificates to hand when you are filling out the forms, as the standards are high and they’ll be carefully checked before anyone will be able to sell their produce at the event.
W: I should be fine with doing it on your website, and I already have all my certificates, as we run a small farm shop too. But can you give me your details anyway?
M: Sure. Please address it to the Organic Organization, Vendor Applications, 112 Queens Road, Newcastle, Northumbria. The postcode is NU293LJ. [15] Remember that the closing date is next Tuesday, the 28th of June.
W: That’s absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for your help.Goodbye.
【答案解析】
12. Why does the woman call the man?
女士为什么给男士打电话？
答案：
C) To inquire about the vegetarian food festival.
询问素食节的情况。
解析：
在对话一开始，女士说“I have an inquiry to make. It’s about the vegetarian food festival you are holding on the 19th of August at the Newcastle City Hall”我要咨询一个问题，是关于你们将于8月19日在纽卡斯尔市政厅举办的素食节的，所以选C。
干扰项分析：
A) To check the prices of his farm produce.
询问农产品的价格。
对话中未提及价格问题，故排除。
B) To ask the way to the Newcastle City Hall.
询问去纽卡斯尔市政厅的路。
女士已知活动地点是纽卡斯尔市政厅，并非问路，故排除。
D) To seek the man’s help with her work on the farm.
寻求男子对她在农场工作的帮助。
女士是想在素食节上销售自己农场的产品，而非寻求农场工作方面的帮助，故排除。
13. What is the man still looking for?
男士仍在寻找什么？
答案：
B) Vendors.
供应商。
解析：
在对话中，女士说“It says on your website that you are still looking for vendors”您公司的网站上说你们仍在寻找供应商。她询问男士她是否可以在素食节上销售蔬菜和用蔬菜烘焙的食品，男士回答说这些正是他们正在寻找的类型，因此选B。
干扰项分析：
A) Bakers.
面包师。
女士提到自己做家庭烘焙，但男士寻找的是能销售产品的供应商，而非专门的面包师，故排除。
C) Vegetarians.
素食者。
对话中未提及寻找素食者，故排除。
D) Organisers.
组织者。
男士本身就是活动组织者之一，不可能在寻找组织者，故排除。
14. What does the man say they are getting close to?
男士说他们正在接近什么？
答案：
D) The deadline for application.
申请截止日期。
解析：
在对话中，男士说“We’re getting close to the deadline”截止日期快到了，所以选D。
干扰项分析：
A) The issuing of certificates to vendors.
向供应商发放证书。
男士提到申请时需要准备好证书，但并未说正在接近发放证书的时间，故排除。
B) The completion of the baking task.
完成烘焙任务。
对话中未提及烘焙任务的完成，故排除。
C) The festival they are organising.
他们正在组织的节日。
节日将于8月19日举行，对话时还未临近，且“deadline”指的是申请截止日期而非节日本身，故排除。
15. What does the man finally ask the woman to remember?
男士最后让女士记住什么？
答案：
A) The closing date of submission.
提交（申请）的截止日期。
解析：
在对话最后，男士说“Remember that the closing date is next Tuesday, the 28th of June”请记住，截止日期是下周二，6月28日。因此选A。
干扰项分析：
B) The website of his company.
他公司的网站。
对话中虽提及网站，但这不是男士最后提醒女士要记住的内容，故排除。
C) The details of the ceremony.
仪式的细节。
对话中未提及“ceremony”（仪式），故排除。
D) The organiser’s address.
组织者的地址。
男士确实提供了邮寄地址，但这是应女士要求提供的，并非最后特别提醒要记住的内容，故排除。
【参考译文】
女士：您好，下午好。我要咨询一个问题，是关于将于8月19日在纽卡斯尔市政厅举办的素食节。
男士：是的，当然可以。我叫菲利普。有什么可以帮您的？
女士：您公司的网站上说你们仍在寻找供应商，我在自己的农场种植有机蔬菜，同时也做家庭烘焙。我能在素食节上销售蔬菜以及用蔬菜烘焙的食品吗？
男士：这些正是我们正在寻找的类型。不过，我们的截止日期快到了。您更想要在网上填写申请表，还是打印出来手写填好然后寄回给我们？请记住，填写表格时您必须准备好所有证书，因为标准很高，在任何人能够在活动中销售产品之前，这些证书都会被仔细核查。
女士：我在网上填写应该没问题，而且我已经有所有证书了，因为我们也经营一家小型农场商店。不过，您能给我你们的详细地址吗？
男士：当然可以。请寄给有机组织，供应商申请，纽卡斯尔，诺森伯兰郡，皇后路112号。邮编是NU293LJ。请记住，截止日期是下周二，6月28日。
