听力原文:Amy Morning, Dr. Carter. Im sorry to disturb you. But may I speak to you about my course? Dr. Carter Yes, come in, Amy. But anyway, I havent got long, because I have to give a lecture in half an hour. Amy Alright. I would just like to finish talking about the problem I have with you. think it wont take a long time. Dr. Carter Sure. Whats the problem? Sit down. Amy Well, Im having problems with one of my subject—economics. Im not doing very well and Im a bit concerned about it. Dr. Carter You havent been doing too well, thats true. I think you failed your last assignment, didnt you? Amy Ive failed the last one and the one before and I only just scraped through the first one. The problem is that Im not very interested in economics. I think thats why I dont really try and then... Dr. Carter So what are you saying, Amy? Amy I really feel that I should drop economics and pick up Spanish again. Dr. Carter And have you ever dealt with Spanish? Amy Yeah, I did first year Spanish last year, and I got really good marks. Dr. Carter So here, I really dont understand why you took up economics this year then. Amy Well, everyone told me that economics was more important than a language and I felt itd be really useful for further study. Dr. Carter It seems to not be your interest. And are you studying Spanish by yourself? Amy Well, at first I thought I could keep up my Spanish on my own with a private teacher. The problem is that I just dont seem to have time to do everything. Dr. Carter Surely Spanish isnt too time consuming. Amy No, it wouldnt be except that I um, Ive got a part-time job in a restaurant three nights a week...I cant give that up because I really need the money. I just um, cant fit it all in. Dr. Carter Oh, you must have spent a lot on that. Do you think such a part-time job puts too much pressure on your curricular performance? Amy To some extent, it does definitely. Dr. Carter We could offer you extra help with the economics if you are willing to stick to it. Amy No, really Dr. Carter, I dont think it would be any good. I want to change. Dr. Carter Yes, I can see that your mind is made up. Well, I have no objection, especially as you have a background in Spanish, but youll have to go and see Dr. Brown in the Spanish Department and see whether hell accept you or not. Amy Ok, Ill go and see him first. Would you be able to have a word with him about it as well, Dr. Carter? Dr. Carter You can tell him to phone me for a reference if he wants to. I must get to my lecture now. Let me know how you get on. Amy Thanks, Dr. Carter. I will.Narrator Listen to a conversation between a student and her tutor. Now get ready to answer the questions.

Airline Alliances Cooperative competition. Competitive cooperation. Confused? Airline alliances have travelers scratching their heads over whats going on in the skies. Some folks view alliances as a blessing to travelers, offering seamless travel, reduced fares and enhanced frequent-flyer benefits. Others see a conspiracy of big businesses, causing decreased competition, increased fares and fewer choices. Whatever your opinion is, there are no escaping airline alliances: the marketing hype is unrelenting, with each of the two mega-groupings. Oneworld and Star Alliance promote themselves as the best choice for all travelers. And, even if you turn away from their ads, chances are they will figure in any of your travel plans. But why, after years of often ferocious competition, have airlines decided to band together? Lets just say the timing is mutually convenient. North American Airlines, having exhausted all means of earning customer loyalty at home, have been looking for ways to reach out to foreign flyers. Asian carriers are still hurting from the region—the wide economic downturn that began two years ago just when some of the airlines were taking delivery of new aircraft. Alliances also allow carriers to cut costs and increase profits by pooling manpower resources on the ground (rather than each airline maintaining its own ground crew) and code-sharing—the practice of two partners selling tickets and operating only one aircraft. So alliances are terrific for airlines—but are they good for the passenger? Absolutely, say the airlines: think of the lounges, the joint FFP (frequent flyer programme) benefits, the round-the-world fares, and the global service networks. Then there is the promise of "seamless" travel: the ability to, say, travel from Singapore to Rome to New York to Rio de Janeiro, all on one ticket, without having to wait hours for connections or worry about your bags. Sounds Utopian? Peter Buecking, Cathay Pacifics Director of Sales and Marketing, thinks that seamless travel is still evolving. "The key to seamlessness rests in infrastructure and information sharing. We are working on this." Henry Ma, spokesperson for Star Alliance in Hong Kong, lists some of the other benefits for customers: "Global travelers have an easier time making connections and planning their itineraries." Ma claims alliances also assure passengers consistent service standards. Critics of alliances say the much touted benefits to the customer are mostly pie in the sky, that alliances are all about reducing costs for the airlines, rationalizing services and running joint marketing programmes. Consumer Reports Senior Editor Jeff Blyskal says the promotional ballyhoo over alliances is much ado about nothing. "I dont see much of a gain for consumers: alliances are just a marketing gimmick. Most airlines can not even get their own connections under control, let alone coordinate with another airline. " Blyskal believes alliances will ultimately result in decreased flight choices and increased costs for consumers. Instead of two airlines competing and each operating a flight on the same route at 70% capacity, the allied pair will share the route and run one full flight. Since fewer seats will be available, passengers will be obliged to pay more for tickets. The truth about alliances and their merits probably lies somewhere between the travel Utopia presented by the players, and the evil empires portrayed by their critics. And how much they affect you depends on what kind of traveler you are. Those whove already made the elite grade in the FFP of a major airline stand to benefit the most when it joints an alliance: then they enjoy the FFP perks and advantages on any and all of the member carriers. For example, if you are a Marco Polo Club "gold" member of Cathay Pacifics Asia Miles FFP, you will automatically be treated as a valuable customer by all members of Oneworld, of which Cathay Pacific is a member. For those who havent made the top grade in any FFP, alliances might be a way of simplifying the earning of frequent flyer miles. For example, I belong to United Airlines Mileage Plus and generally fly less than 25000 miles a year. But I earn miles with every flight I take on Star Alliance member—All Nippon Airways and Thai Airways. (A)if you fly less than I do, you might be smarter to stay out of the FFP game altogether. (B)The only real benefit infrequent flyers can draw from an alliance is an inexpensive round-the-world fare. (C)The bottom lines for all the marketing hype, alliances arent all things to all people—but everybody can get some benefit out of them. (D)

A.Delighted.
B.Indifferent.
C.Objective.
D.Varie
A.unchangeable
B.optimistic
C.fierce
D.stoppable
