What effect will the current financial situation have on Telekom?A.It will reduce short-term investment.
29、B.It will have no effect on investment.C.it will increase long-term investment.答案:A解析 23-30Interviewer: Welcome to the studio, Mrs Vogel. As President of Telekom you have been in a difficult position over the last few months of financial uncertainty in the region. How tough has it been?Carol Vogel:
30、I want to be positive and see the current situation as a challenge. The capital requirements of Telekoms infrastructure are enormous. The recent currency turmoil is bound to slow down investment in the short term, but it is unlikely to reduce its total volume in the long term.Interviewer: But isnt i
31、t the case that some of your projects have been delayed?Carol: Yes, but not cancelled. Our advisers are telling us that a temporary reduction in the number of new projects is not serious. We still have many ongoing contracts with foreign operators which do not come up for renewal until 2010.Intervie
32、wer: But it appears that you have several major challenges in your effort to upgrade the telecommunications network in this country.Carol: Yes, that is true. I see three major challenges. The first is the nature of our country. We are a country of several thousand islands., this presents a unique pr
33、oblem for the existing technology to deal with. Secondly, there is the question of affordability. We have a relatively low GDP per capita, $1,132 by the end of 1998. And finally funds-it costs between $1,000 and $1,200 to put in a line.Interviewer: Yes, I believe that there are fewer than three line
34、s per 100 people.Carol: There are plans which will go ahead to install 6 million lines by the end of the year which will improve this figure to around five lines for every 100 people. In the West the average is about 60 lines per 100 people.Interviewer: So there is a long way to go. Is the governmen
35、t playing its part?Carol: The government has been very supportive. By allowing the industry to become privatized there has been much progress. It acted very sensibly and compared to other countries in the region it has worked very well. Our relationship with the government and other telecommunicatio
36、ns operators is good.Interviewer: You are referring to the huge international group investors?Carol: Yes. In 1995, five international groups committed themselves to the development of the telecommunications infrastructure in five regions of the country. Each group agreed to install a target number o
37、f lines and operate them for 15 years and then return them to Telekom.Interviewer: And it looks as if the private sector development is also well-established in the mobile communications sector?Carol: The number of subscribers has jumped to 562,500 from 25,000 two years ago. There are three competin
38、g suppliers. Each of these three operations is a joint venture with ourselves. This is an area which is seeing major growth throughout Asia. We are glad to be part of it.Interviewer: So in your view there is not too much to worry about?Carol: There are plenty of issues that need to be resolved but I
39、 am sure that the good times will return and this can only mean that Telekom will prosper in the long run. 解析 可以看出，这是一道细节题。三个选项都是指investment投资的，在预览问题时，考生就应该早已注意到这三个选项的这个特点，在听录音时特别注意和记录与investment有关的话语。对话中的The recent currency turmoil is bound to slow down investment in the short term, but it is unlik
40、ely to reduce its total volume in the long term. 其中必须理解两组词，即“be bound to一定要”和“stow down investment in the short term在短期内减缓投资”。尤其如果记录下来后者，那么就能够选中答案A。 2. What has happened to some of Telekoms projects?A.They have been put out to foreign tender.B.They have been cancelled.C.They have been postponed.答案:C
41、解析 这也是一道细节题。如果在记录中记下了问题，就可以发现这道题是针对采访者第二个问题提出的，即But isnt it the case that some of your projects have been delayed?这个问题问是否有些项目推迟了。记录的回答内容应该是yes还是no，以及这些被推迟的项目如何处理，所以除了提问以外，其他的关键词还有Yes, but not cancelled、a temporary reduction、ongoing contracts with foreign operators，这段回答中关于年的数字2010不用记录，因为所有问题中都没有涉及这么大
42、的数字。显然，回答是肯定的，那么答案就是C。3. What unique situation does Telekom have to face?A.The country has very low GDP.B.The country is made up of many islands.C.The country is densely populated.答案:B解析 可以看出，这同样是一道细节题。采访者的第三句话与country有关，而Carol接下来的谈话中描述了三个情况。如果在录音中听到first、second、third这样的词时，其后面的内容都应是重点记录的对象。如：1nature
43、 of country, several thousand islands, presents a unique problem; 2question of affordability, low GDP; 3funds.如果能够很好地记录下这三条，那么不难发现1中出现了a unique problem。所以答案是B。4. How many lines per hundred people are Telekom hoping to install?A.3.B.5.C.60.答案:B解析 这道题涉及数字，在预览时已经留意这几个数字了，所以在听录音时不管出现了哪个数字都应该很敏感地捕捉到。而且预览
44、时我们已经分析了这家公司的业务性质，文中又反复出现telecommunication，这就更证实了我们的猜测。所以这里出现的line应该理解成铺设的通信线路。采访者在第四句话中提到I believe that there are fewer than three lines per 100 people用的是一般现在时，所以指现在的现状是每100人有不到3条线路。而问题指的是Telekom的未来计划，所以A肯定不是答案。在Carol的回答中，她说到will improve this figure to around five lines for every 100 people，也就是说每10
45、0人有大约5条线路，而后文的In the West the average is about 60 lines per 100 people，是说在西部可达到每100人平均拥有60条线路，只是局部地区，是用于误导答题人的。所以此题的答案为B。5. What correct decision does she think the government made?A.To privatize the system.B.To encourage foreign investors.C.To cooperate with other countries in the region.答案:A解析 对话中
46、采访者的第五句话，即第三个问题就是针对政府提出的。在Carol的回答中可以看出她认为政府是supportive支持的。By allowing the industry to become privatized中，by doing sth.表示通过手段。说明政府通过私有化来提供支持。所以显然答案应该是A。6. What will international groups do in 15 years time?A.Hand back the lines to Telekom.B.Claim back their initial investment.C.Renew their contracts with Telekom.答案:A解析 对话中采访者的第六句话，即第四个问题提到了huge international group investors大的国际集团投资商。由于问题中出现了数字15，所以15是找到答
