M: Which markets were you responsible for?
W: For Europe and Japan.
M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?
W: Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2006. I met all the key people in the tourist industry, the big tour operators and tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.
M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan in your present job?
W: Yes, I’ve had a lot. The truth is I have become very popular with the Japanese, both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently.
M: Really, I’m interested to hear more about that, but first, tell me, have you ever traveled on a luxury train? The Orient Express, for example.
W: No I haven’t, but I have traveled on a glacier express to Switzerland and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That’s why I’m very interested in this job.

長(zhǎng)對(duì)話評(píng)析
今年長(zhǎng)對(duì)話長(zhǎng)度與往年相當(dāng),其中一篇屬于社會(huì)話題中的犯罪;另一篇是很典型的面試英語(yǔ).
從第一篇來(lái)看,話題和詞匯都是以前四級(jí)考試中出現(xiàn)的高頻詞,例如paper, appliance, pension等.認(rèn)真做過(guò)真題的同學(xué)應(yīng)該不會(huì)覺(jué)得陌生.從四個(gè)問(wèn)題來(lái)看也確實(shí)問(wèn)到了文章四個(gè)不同的內(nèi)容點(diǎn), 這與我們事先預(yù)測(cè)的, 話題轉(zhuǎn)換就會(huì)出現(xiàn)答案不謀而和.
第二篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話又是很典型的商務(wù)英語(yǔ)場(chǎng)景, 這一類型我們?cè)啻螐?qiáng)調(diào), 提醒同學(xué)準(zhǔn)備. 從內(nèi)容上來(lái)看, 除了有關(guān)marketing consultant這種工作種類外, 還有許多旅游詞匯,相信對(duì)大家來(lái)說(shuō)并不會(huì)很難.
總的來(lái)看,今年長(zhǎng)對(duì)話的難度還是與歷次考試相當(dāng), 雖然有個(gè)別bushy這類對(duì)考生來(lái)講并不熟悉的詞,但都沒(méi)影響對(duì)于全文的理解.
