**Now turn to section one.**  
現在請轉到第一部分。

**>> Two students who have just finished their final exams.**  
兩名剛完成期末考的學生。

**First you have some time to look at questions 1 to five.**  
首先，你有一些時間查看第1至5題。

**Listen carefully to the conversation and answer questions 1 to 5.**  
仔細聽對話並回答第1至5題。

**>> Hi Andrea. How are you feeling now that exams are over?**  
嗨，Andrea。考試結束後你感覺怎麼樣？

**>> It's fantastic to have finished, isn't it? And to sleep in every morning. What about you?**  
完成考試真是太棒了，不是嗎？而且每天早上都能睡懶覺。你呢？

**>> Well, I've been catching up on sleep, too, but I've got a lot to do before I leave for England. Perhaps you could give me some advice.**  
嗯，我也一直補眠，但我還有很多事情要做，因為我即將前往英國。也許你可以給我一些建議。

**I've got a lot of things I can't possibly take back with me, but I don't know what to do with them.**  
我有很多東西無法帶回去，但我不知道該怎麼處理。

**>> Well, it depends on what sort of things they are and whether you're thinking of giving them away or selling them.**  
嗯，這取決於那些東西是什麼，以及你打算是要捐掉還是賣掉。

**>> Well, almost everything. Furniture, the fridge, and other kitchen stuff that I bought from the previous tenant.**  
嗯，幾乎所有東西。家具、冰箱，以及我從前房客那裡買來的廚房用品。

**But the new people have already got what they need, so they're not interested in buying stuff from me.**  
但新房客已經有他們需要的東西，所以他們對買我的東西不感興趣。

**I can't afford to give it away. But I'm not sure how to sell it all.**  
我負擔不起免費送出。但我不知道該怎麼賣掉所有東西。

**Oh, and there are some clothes and books as well.**  
哦，還有一些衣服和書。

**>> Why can't you take them?**  
>> 為什麼你不能帶走它們？

**The books are really heavy.**  
書真的很重。

**It's so expensive if you exceed the airline baggage allowance, and the clothes just won't all fit in my suitcase.**  
超過航空行李限額非常貴，而且衣服都放不進我的行李箱。

**It's amazing how much stuff I've accumulated since I've been here.**  
自從我來這裡以來，累積了這麼多東西，真是令人驚訝。

**Anyway, I don't think I'll need as many summer clothes in England as I have here in Australia.**  
無論如何，我認為在英國我不會需要像在澳洲這裡一樣多的夏季衣服。

**I see. Well, there are several alternatives.**  
我明白了。嗯，有幾個選擇。

**First of all, you could put up notices around the university about the books.**  
首先，你可以在大學裡張貼告示，出售書本。

**You know, on the notice boards in the student union building and in the economics department.**  
你知道的，在學生會大樓和經濟系的布告欄上。

**Anywhere second and third year students will see them.**  
任何二年級和三年級的學生都能看到。

**People are always keen to buy cheap textbooks.**  
人們總是很想買便宜的教科書。

**>> Okay. What should I say on the notices?**  
好的，我該在告示上寫些什麼？

**Just put the titles, authors, and price you want, your name, of course, and maybe put your phone number on those little tear off tags.**  
只需寫上書名、作者、想要的價格，當然還有你的名字，也許可以在那些撕下的小條上放你的電話號碼。

**>> That's a good idea. And what about the furniture?**  
那是個好主意。那家具呢？

**You could try doing the same thing, but usually students are away all summer, so they don't want to buy furniture.**  
你可以試著用同樣的方法，但通常學生整個夏天都不在，所以他們不想買家具。

**Now, another place to try might be a secondhand shop.**  
另一個可以試的地方可能是二手商店。

**Someone from the shop will usually come around and give you a free quote, and then you can decide, but you don't usually get much money for that sort of stuff.**  
店裡的人通常會來估價，然後你可以決定，但你通常不會拿到多少錢。

**Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.**  
在你聽完對話的剩餘部分之前，你有時間看第6到10題。

**Now listen carefully and answer questions 6 to 10.**  
現在仔細聽並回答第6到10題。

**>> Another alternative is to put an advertisement in the trading post.**  
另一個選擇是在「交易公告」刊登廣告。

**Do you know that paper? It comes out every week advertising things people want to sell.**  
你知道那份報紙嗎？它每週都會刊登人們想要出售的東西。

**You have to pay to put the advert in and then hope people phone.**  
你必須付錢刊登廣告，然後希望有人打電話。

**Give them as much information as possible.**  
提供盡可能多的資訊。

**And if they're interested, invite them to come and have a look.**  
如果有人有興趣，就邀請他們來看看。

**The hard part is agreeing on a price.**  
難的地方是要達成價格協議。

**>> No, I haven't seen the trading post, but I should have a look at it.**  
不，我沒看過那份報紙，但我應該看看。

**And I could advertise the fridge, the microwave, and the furniture.**  
我可以刊登冰箱、微波爐和家具的廣告。

**But the kitchen stuff isn't really that good.**  
但廚房用品實在不怎麼樣。

**You know, old cutlery, a few pots and pans, and some plates and things.**  
你知道的，舊餐具，一些鍋碗瓢盆，還有一些盤子等等。

**What shall I do with them?**  
我該怎麼辦？

**Well, another option is to donate the kitchen things to a charity shop.**  
嗯，另一個選擇是捐給慈善商店。

**You know, like the Salvation Army or Saint Vincent.**  
比如救世軍或聖文森特。

**Why don't you get a secondhand shop to give you a quote first?**  
你不妨先讓二手商店估價？

**>> Yes, I could do that. Find out how much they'll give me and then decide whether to sell them or give them away.**  
可以，我可以這麼做。先了解他們會給多少錢，再決定是賣掉還是捐出。

**But I’ve still got the clothes.**  
但我還有衣服。

**>> A charity shop will take them, too, as long as they're in good condition.**  
慈善商店也會收，只要它們狀況良好。

**And even though you don't get any money, at least you know that someone who really deserves some help has benefited.**  
雖然你得不到錢，但至少你知道有人需要幫助的人得到了幫助。

**>> That's a good point. I'll advertise the expensive stuff, the furniture, and donate the clothes and kitchen stuff.**  
說得對。我會刊登貴重物品的廣告，捐出衣服和廚房用品。

**Let's go and buy a trading post, and you can help me write the advert.**  
我們去買「交易公告」，你可以幫我寫廣告。

**>> Well, actually, I'm interested in buying the fridge and the microwave, depending on the price, of course.**  
其實，我有興趣買冰箱和微波爐，當然要看價格。

**Okay, let's see how good you are at bargaining.**  
好吧，我們來看看你討價還價的本事。

**00:05:47**  
**That is the end of part one.**  
第一部分結束。

**You now have half a minute to check your answers.**  
你現在有半分鐘的時間檢查你的答案。

**Now turns to part two.**  
現在轉到第二部分。

**Part two,**  
第二部分，

**>> you will hear two students talking about a school project.**  
你將聽到兩名學生談論一個學校專案。

**>> First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.**  
首先，你有一些時間查看第11到15題。

**Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.**  
現在仔細聽並回答第11到15題。

**>> Hi Lynn. How's your project coming along?**  
嗨，Lynn。你的專案進展得怎麼樣？

**>> Oh, not very well. I've got all the information, but I can't seem to organize it into a presentation.**  
哦，進展不太順利。我有所有資料，但似乎沒辦法整理成一個簡報。

**>> Well, you'd better hurry. You only have one more week.**  
你最好快點。你只剩下一個星期。

**>> Yes, that's okay. It's just that Oh,**  
嗯，還可以。只是……嗯，

**>> well, why don't you try your presentation on me? Maybe I can help.**  
為何不試著在我這裡做你的簡報？也許我可以幫忙。

**>> Oh, really? Great. Okay. Well, I've chosen solar power for my subject, and I'm going to talk specifically about domestic water heating.**  
真的嗎？太好了。那我就說，我選擇了太陽能作為主題，特別是用來講家庭用水加熱。

**You know, like the ones popular in America. I've got some facts here.**  
你知道的，就像在美國很流行的那種。我這裡有一些資料。

**>> Oh, that's good. But just start your presentation from the beginning.**  
哦，這很好。但你要從頭開始你的簡報。

**>> Oh, right. Here we go, then. There are many reasons why we should be**  
嗯，好吧。那我們就開始吧。有很多原因，說明我們應該去找其他能源來源。

**As most people are aware, fossil fuels and other such non-renewable sources are by definition finite.**  
正如大多數人知道的，化石燃料等非再生能源本身就有限。

**So something needs to be in operation soon.**  
所以必須盡快投入使用。

**Currently there are a number of alternative energy sources available which can with a little preparation be used to provide for a significant part of our domestic energy requirements.**  
目前有一些替代能源，只要準備得當，就可以用來滿足我們家庭能源的很大部分需求。

**In this presentation, I am focusing on solar power and its application as a domestic water heater.**  
在這份簡報中，我專注於太陽能及其作為家庭熱水器的應用。

**As a renewable energy source, solar power is in many ways**  
作為一種可再生能源，太陽能在許多方面都非常理想。

**The amount of the sun's energy which reaches the earth every minute exceeds the energy that the global population consumes in a year.**  
每分鐘到達地球的太陽能量超過全球人口一年所消耗的能量。

**Although scientists argue that it is not finite, sunlight is certainly a longlasting resource which is not depleted through use.**  
儘管科學家爭論它是否有限，但陽光確實是一種長久不竭的資源，不會因使用而耗盡。

**and solar power converters use this energy without needing any complex moving parts.**  
太陽能轉換器利用這種能量，且不需要任何複雜的動態零件。

**Once collected and stored, solar energy can be used for many purposes, but it is becoming increasingly popular as a domestic heating source.**  
收集並儲存後，太陽能可以用於多種用途，但越來越多用於家庭取暖。

**Generally, a building that is heated by solar power will have its water heated by solar power as well.**  
通常，用太陽能取暖的建築，水也會用太陽能加熱。

**And this has even worked in areas that are not exposed to long hours of direct sunlight, such as the United Kingdom, although not so well as in warmer climates.**  
這甚至在陽光不足的地區也有成效，例如英國，雖然效果不如較溫暖的氣候。

**>> Why have you stopped?**  
為什麼你停了？

**>> Well, that's all I've got so far.**  
嗯，這就是我目前所有的內容。

**>> Oh, well, we'll start by talking about how effective it is.**  
那我們就從它的效果開始談起。

**>> Oh, okay. Well, there are a number of factors that influence how efficient solar power can be.**  
好的。影響太陽能效率的因素有很多。

**The first obviously is the amount of sunlight and this is dependent on season, time of day, and climate.**  
首先是陽光的多少，這取決於季節、時間和氣候。

**Although the UK has something of a bad reputation for sunshine, it is actually quite productive during some parts of the year.**  
雖然英國的陽光不佳，但在某些季節實際上產量還算不錯。

**Given a sufficient size of solar panel and water storage tank, solar power can provide all of our water heating requirements in June and July and even provide the majority until October.**  
只要太陽能電板和儲水箱足夠大，太陽能在六月和七月能滿足所有供水需求，甚至直到十月也能提供大部分。

**From October to the end of the year, this figure falls dramatically.**  
從十月到年底，這個比例會大幅下降。

**December is the least productive, being able to supply less than 5% of the average household's hot water requirement.**  
十二月是最不產的，能供應不到平均家庭熱水需求的5%。

**It is at this point that solar power needs to be supplemented with a more traditional form of heating.**  
在這個時候，太陽能需要搭配傳統的取暖方式。

**From January, solar power becomes more effective at a rate of about 20% per month, although this rise decelerates to around 18% by May.**  
從一月開始，太陽能的效率每月提升約20%，但到五月時增幅會放緩到約18%。

**Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.**  
在你聽完剩餘內容前，你有時間查看第16到20題。

**Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.**  
現在聽並回答第16到20題。

**>> Now say something about this water heater. Do you have any information about that?**  
>> 你能說說這個熱水器嗎？你有相關資料嗎？

**>> Oh yes. I've got an illustration of a water tank here.**  
>> 有的。我這裡有一張水箱的圖。

**>> Oh, that's good. But you'll have to describe it.**  
>> 那很好。但你要描述一下。

**>> Right. Well, the ideal water tank in the UK has a capacity of 45 to 50 L, but must be at least 40 L to be effective.**  
>> 好的。英國理想的水箱容量在45到50升，但至少要40升才能有效。

**The solar coil is put in the bottom of the tank to heat the water.**  
太陽能管卷放在水箱底部用來加熱水。

**Now remember that solar heated water will not get quite as hot as fossil fuel water heaters.**  
現在記住，用太陽能加熱的水不會像燃料熱水器那樣熱。

**The bottom half of the tank is normally 20° and this is why it is important not to have a tank that is too large as that would take too much energy to heat.**  
水箱的下半部通常是20°C，因此太大的水箱會需要太多能量來加熱，這點很重要。

**In this illustration, it rises to 40° from halfway up.**  
在這個圖中，水溫從中間上升到40°C。

**Don't forget that hot water rises.**  
別忘了，熱水會上升。

**So, the top third of the tank is the hottest and reaches an average temperature of 65°.**  
因此，水箱的上三分之一是最熱的，平均溫度達到65°C。

**>> And what's this second layer around the tank?**  
>> 那圍繞水箱的第二層是什麼？

**>> Oh, that's insulation. Because the tank is often either outside or just under the roof, rigid foam is used as an insulation layer.**  
>> 那是保溫層。由於水箱常在室外或屋頂下面，所以使用剛性泡棉作為保溫層。

**It should be at least 80 mm thick all around.**  
它的厚度應該至少是80毫米。

**>> Well, that seems like a good presentation. All you need to do is to prepare some short notes and a larger illustration so you can use it as a demonstration and you'll be fine.**  
>> 好像是一個不錯的簡報。你只需要準備一些簡短的筆記和一個較大的圖示，方便示範，就沒問題了。

**>> Oh, you think so? Well, thanks very much for the help. Maybe I could do the same for you one day.**  
>> 你這麼覺得嗎？非常感謝你的幫忙。也許我有一天可以幫你準備。

**>> Maybe. Anyway, I have to go. Good luck.**  
也許吧。不過我得走了，祝你好運。

**>> Thanks. Bye.**  
謝謝，再見。

**>> No. At first, I thought it was a cold, but then my head started hurting and my eyes started to go blurry.**  
沒有。一開始我以為是感冒，但後來頭開始痛，眼睛也變得模糊。

**>> Oh, I'm so sorry. That sounds serious.**  
哦，真的很抱歉。聽起來很嚴重。

**>> Yeah, it's okay. Actually, I went to the doctor and he diagnosed me with a migraine. He gave me some medicine and I'm starting to feel much better.**  
是的，沒事。事實上，我去看醫生，他診斷我是偏頭痛。他給我一些藥，我開始覺得好多了。

**>> Oh, I'm glad to hear that. Well, I'm also glad you're in today because we have to work on a new project together.**  
太好了，聽到這個消息我也很高興。其實，我很高興你今天來，因為我們要一起做一個新專案。

**Oh, are we in the same section?**  
我們是在同一組嗎？

**>> No, it's just us. No one else. Mr. Donaldson put us down as B team because we live near each other.**  
不是，只有我們兩個。沒有其他人。Donaldson先生把我們列在B組，因為我們住得很近。

**>> That could be fun. What do we have to do?**  
那可能很有趣。我們要做什麼？

**>> Well, the project is partly internet research, then checking reference books for information to prepare a survey which we have to use with people we know.**

太好了。主題是什麼？

**It's to do with shopping over the last 10 years.**  
與過去10年的購物行為有關。

**We have to find out how customers have changed their behavior.**  
我們要了解顧客行為的變化。

**>> Okay. So, what's the first step?**  
好的。那第一步是什麼？

**>> I think the first thing to do is to check the list of references he gave me.**  
我認為第一件事是查看他給我的參考書單。

**But my computer is in for repair.**  
但我的電腦正在維修中。

**So, if I check in the reference library, would you be willing to look up some references online?**  
所以，我去參考圖書館查資料，你願意幫我在網路上找一些資料嗎？

**Once we're done with the reference checks, we can write the questions together.**  
等我們查完資料，我們可以一起寫問題。

**>> That's fine. I'll do the internet research.**  
沒問題。我來做網路調查。

**So, what sort of shopping are we looking at?**  
我們要調查哪一類的購物？

**Only food or goods or clothes shopping.**  
只有食物、商品還是服裝購物？

**We have to find people who are willing to tell us about personal things like deodorants, cosmetics, soap or vitamin creams.**  
我們要找願意談論個人用品的人，比如除臭劑、化妝品、肥皂或維他命霜。

**The other groups are doing food, electrical goods, and clothes.**  
其他組別則研究食物、電器和服裝。
