【听力材料】
W: Now I've got your background, let's talk about the management trainee scheme. What exactly do you think a manager does?
M: I don't know a great deal about the work.
W: But have you got any ideas about it? You must have thought about it.
M: [23]Well, er, I suppose he has a lot of, er, what is called, policy-making to do.And, mm, he'd have to know how to work with people and all about the company.
W: Mmm.
M: Yes, I, er, should think a manager must know, er, something about all aspects of the work.
W: Yes, that's right. We like our executive staff to undergo a thorough training. Young men on our trainee scheme have to work through every branch in the company.
M: Well, if I had to do it, I suppose. But I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work. [24]I'd like to be some sort of an export salesman and travel abroad.
W: You know the charm of traveling abroad disappears when you've got to work hard. It's not all fun and game.
M: Oh, yes, I realize that. It's just that my knowledge of languages would be useful.
W: Now, Mr. Smith, is there anything you want to ask me?
M: Well, there's one or two things. I'd like to know if I'd have to sign a contract, what the salary is and what the prospects are.
W: With our scheme, Mr. Smith, there is no contract involved. Your progress is kept under constant review. If we, at any time, decide we don't like you, then that's that! We reserve the right to dismiss you. Of course, you have the same choice about us. [25]As for salary, you'd be on our fixed scale starting at 870 pounds. For the successful trainee, the prospects are very good.
答案解析：
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. How does Mr. Smith sound when asked what a manager's role is?
[B]解析：对话开始，女士问男士：“你认为经理确切的职责是什么？”男士说“对这种工作我所知不多”。在女士的一再要求下，男士支支吾吾地说，经理要做许多决策。因此可以说，男士对回答这个问题没有把握，缺乏信心。B正确。选项很简单，四个表示情绪和心理的形容词，估计问某人的心态。这种题须根据听到的话语进行推理判断。
24. What does Mr. Smith say he would like to be?
[A]解析：男士说：“我想做一名出口业务员，可以去国外旅行。”A正确。四个选项均是职务名称。在“面试”场景下，应当问求职者应聘的职务。B中的trainee与对话中的trainee scheme含义并不相同。实际上B项的内容是女士说的，A项的内容是男士说的，听清问题，也可以根据说话人做出选择。C、D均未提及。
25. Which of the following statements about the management trainee scheme is true?
[C]解析：对话快结束时女士提到：“关于工资，按我们固定的工资级别标准，起点是870英镑。”C正确。
