听力原文: Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.

She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. "I would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school."

So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just £90, before tax and insurance. "It's better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra."

The hours she's chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn't think that puts any pressure on their relationship.

Her work isn't physically very hard, but it's not exactly pleasant, either. "I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they'd be a bit more careful."

The fact that she's working all night doesn't worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. "Since I've got to be here, I try to enjoy myself — and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags."

Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. "They think you're a cleaner because you don't know how to read and write," said Margaret. "I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I'd been doing, but I don't think that way any more. I don't dislike the work though I can't say I'm mad about it."

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. Why did Margaret quit her job as a nurse?

34. Why does Margaret get angry with people who work in the office?

35. How does Margaret feel when at work?

(30)

A.She felt tired of taking care of patients.

B.She had suffered a lot of mental pressure.

C.She needed the right time to look after her children.

D.She wanted to earn more money to support her family.

听力原文: The engine of Margaret's car was not running smoothly. The spark plugs needed cleaning. Margaret could have done the job herself, but garages have special equipment that does such things very thoroughly.

Like her father, Margaret did not like being overcharged. She knew that garages do this sometimes. Sometimes they even charge for work they have never done. She told the repairman at the garage not to do any extra work, she wanted the spark plugs cleaned, and nothing more. Then she left, saying she would be back in a little while.

When Margaret came back, the repairman handed her a bill for £ 10. Margaret knew this was more than it should cost to have the spark plugs cleaned. Then the repairman said he had put new ones in. Margaret decided she was not going to stand for this, and began to get angry.

"But the plugs were worn out; what else could I do?" the repairman protested. "How long should these new spark plugs last? More than a few months?" Margaret demanded. "Of come! Much longer than that!" The repairman said with great emphasis.

"Well, then, put the old ones back in. I had new spark plugs put in only a few months ago, and 1 had the job done here!" Margaret said.

(34)

A.Do extra work if necessary.

B.Change the spark plugs only.

C.Clean the spark plugs only.

D.Charge her more than £ 10 if necessary.

听力原文:W: Hey Steve, got any plans for tonight?

M: Hi, Jane. No, I don't think so. Why? Got any suggestions?

W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets to the opening of the exhibit of the reprints by Julia Margaret Cameron. I would have to mention it earlier, but I was on the waiting list for these tickets and I wasn't sure I'd even get them.

M: An exhibit, huh? I like such things. But I don't know who Julia……

W: Margaret Cameron! She was a photographer in the 1800s. She is interesting to art-historians in general and students of photography in particular because she ... how should I say, change the aesthetics for photography.

M: What do you mean?

W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of just making a factual record of details like most photographers did, you know, just capturing what a person look like in a dispassionate(平心静气的)thought of way. She, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing her subject's personality.

M: Interesting! How did she do that?

W: She invented a number of techniques that affect the picture. Like one of these things she did was blur images slightly by using a soft focus on the subject. That's pretty common now.

M: Yeah, seen that. Who did she photograph?

W: Famous people of her day, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Darwin, I don't know who else. We'll see at the exhibition.

M: You really pick my curiosity. I am going to enjoy this.

(31)

A.A famous photographer.

B.Photographic processes in the 1800's.

C.Photographic equipment used in the 1800's.

听力原文:M: I really don't know what to do tiffs summer. I can't afford to just sit around
, and there doesn't seem to be any jobs available.

W: Why don't you try housesitting? Last summer my friend Margaret housesat for the Dodds while they went away on vacation. Mr. Dodd hired Margaret to stay in their house because he didn't want it left empty.

M: You mean the Dodds paid Margaret just to live in their house?

W: It wasn't that easy. She had to mow the lawn and water the house plants. And when Eric housesat for Dr. Cohen, he had to take care of her pets.

M: Housesitting sounds like a good job. I guess it is a little like babysitting— except you're taking care of a house instead of children.

W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.

M: Do I just have to fill out an application?

W: Margaret and Eric had the interview with the homeowners and provide three references each.

M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.

W: well, the homeowners want some guarantee that they can trust tile housesitter. You know they want to make sure you're not the type who'll throw wild parties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you.

M: Housesitters who do that sort of thing probably aren't paid then.

W: Usually they're paid anyway just because the homeowners don't want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reported it, then the housesitter wouldn't be able to get another job. So why don't you apply?

M: Yeah, I think I will.

(27)

A.Go to summer school.

B.Take a vacation.

C.Stay at home.

D.Earn some money.
