W: That's a relief. Your computer must be faulty.

M: I've been invited to have dinner with Paulo and Maria this evening but I don't know what to wear. I'd also like to take a small present. Do you have any ideas?

W: How about spending the weekend with us?

M: Let me see if my wife has anything planned and I'll get back to you.

M: I suggest going for something comfortable, like a small cottage.

W: Why don't we treat ourselves and stay at a five-star hotel? Or even better, let's rent a house with a pool.

M: What's the point? We'll be at the beach all day anyway.

W: Oh, come on! Don't you want a bit of luxury for once?

W: I can't keep up with all these changes! So, the presentation is on the 15th after all?

W: Yeah, that's the date I've marked in my diary.

M: Then Mr. Sadik said he'd canceled his leave, so it was switched back to the original date.

W: Ethan, I have been waiting for you for over an hour! We missed our movie. I called more than six times, but you didn't even answer your cellphone.

M: Terribly sorry, I left my driveway early enough, but I ran into a group of street performers blocking the road. To make matters worse, I had left my phone on the charger.

W: It must have been annoying. But you can borrow someone's phone to call me!

M: Again, I'm so sorry. I will treat you to dinner at the new Spanish restaurant.

W: Thank you, but I need to finish my sales report tonight at home for the meeting this Friday.

听下面一段对话，回答第13至第16四个小题。现在你有 20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。

M: Hello! I'm looking for a wedding photographer. My friend John referred you to me. He said you were excellent. He also showed me your website, and I have to say I was really impressed with your work.

W: Oh thanks, that's nice to hear. Could you first tell me the date and location, so I can check my calendar and see if I'm available?

M: Sure! It's July 2nd, and it will be at my parents' house in Halifax.

W: Hmm...it looks like I am unavailable on that day. I'm flying away to shoot another wedding. Now, when you checked my website, you must have seen my colleague, Jack Shin's work. Would you be interested in having him shoot your wedding?

M: Oh, that's such a pity. Yes, I've seen his work, and I liked it as well. His work bears a lot of similarities to yours.

W: I'm looking at his schedule and he happens to be available that day.

M: That is really lucky! Would prices be comparable?

W: We charge the same rates.

M: Can I choose which photos I want printed? Is printing included?

W: Of course. You'll receive a link to an online photo gallery of the best 200 photos within 3 weeks. You can pick out the 50 you like.

M: That sounds great.

听下面一段独白，回答第17至第20四个小题。现在你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。

W: I'm really glad to see so many people signed up for this workshop. With graduation coming up soon, I know that many of you are preparing to enter the workforce for the first time. Job interviews can be an enormously stressful experience, but like most things, interviewing is a skill, not a talent, and a little practice goes a long way. 

I know many of you feel nervous just at the thought of being interviewed, but you need to remember that you've been invited for an interview because your potential employers think you'd be suitable for the job. So, have a little confidence in yourself. The best thing you can do is be prepared and professional, which will help you make a strong first impression.

Before an interview, you should always review your résumé and application, which is why I asked you all to bring an outline of your achievements, academic or otherwise, up to now. You'll be needing that later. Once your résumé is solid, then you can start preparing for possible interview questions. I'm going to hand out a list of those questions now. You need to think about how you'd answer each of them. Don't bother making notes — you can't bring notes to an interview. OK, that's all, does anyone have any questions for me?

第二节到此结束。现在，你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。
