昂立：9月中級口譯聽力Q19-22
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following conversation.
---Good morning, Patricia. How are you these days?
---Fine, thanks, Bill. Glad to see you again. What news can you bring from your business trip to our headquarters in New York last week?
---Well, not bad ones. During my stay in New York last week, I met our company’s CEO Mr. Johnson. He wants us to put on a local conference sometime next month. I remember you made most of the arrangements for our last conference, and things went so smoothly. I thought I couldn’t do better than ask you for some tips.
---I’ll be glad to help. Is it a sales conference again?
---Yes, in a way. It’s mainly for agents from home and abroad, and we’re inviting a few of our influential customers. The objectives are mainly to introduce the products we’ll put in on the markets next season, to describe our services to customers and so on.
---And how many people are expected to attend this time? Last time, it was about 220.
---We’re counting on 300 this time. No more than 350.
---Then we can not use the seaside conference hall again. It has a capacity of only 250.
---That’s the trouble. I was thinking of the President Convention Center, which has a larger capacity. Besides, I haven’t worked out all those details yet. Then there are other things to arrange, like loudspeakers and visual aids. I’m going to make a checklist.
---Yes, I did that, too. I’ll be glad to give you a hand.
---That would be great, Patricia. I’d very much like to chance of using some of your experience. May I invite you to lunch today? And then we could have a bit of planning session about it all afterwards.
Question 19: What was the man doing last week?
Question 20: Who will be invited to attend a local conference next month?
Question 21: According to the woman, about how many people attended the last conference in the seaside conference hall?
Question 22: Which of the following will NOT be included in the man’s checklist for his planning of the conference?
