Management Diploma Course剑桥雅思5-听力原文翻译及答案解析

一、Management Diploma Course听力原文：

ANDREW:Excuse me,I was told to come here for advice about,erm,Management Diploma courses?

MONICA:You've certainly come to the right place.

Hi,my name is Monica.

ANDREW:Nice to meet you.

My name is Andrew,Andrew Harris.

MONICA:So,Andrew,have you seen our diploma course prospectus yet?

ANDREW:Yes,I've already looked at it.

In fact,I thought the information on course content was really useful,but I'm afraid I'm a bit confused by all the different ways you can do the course:full-time intensive,part-time and so on.

MONICA:Well,let's see if I can help.

I think each course type has its advantages and disadvantages,so it really depends on you-your own study habits,and your financial circumstances,of course.

Are you working at the moment?

ANDREW:Yes.

I've been working in the administration section of the local hospital for the last three years.

And before that I worked in the office of a computer engineering company for two years.

So,I've got about five years of relevant work experience.

And what I'm hoping to focus on is Personnel Management.

MONICA:I see.

And are you planning to leave your current job to study,or are you thinking about just taking a year off?

ANDREW:I want to know what my options are,really.

I don't want to quit my job or anything and my employers are keen for me to get some more qualifications but obviously,it would be better if I could do a course without taking too much time away from work.

MONICA:Right,so you don't really want to do the full-time course,then?

ANDREW:No,not really.

It's also a question of finances.

You see,my office have agreed to pay the cost of the course itself,but I would have to take unpaid leave if I want to study full-time and,well,I don't think I could afford to support myself with no salary for a whole year.

MONICA:OK.

Well,you have two other possibilities:you could either do the part-time course-that would be over two years and you wouldn't have to take any time off work-or you could do what we call a'modular'course.

You could do that in eighteen months if you wanted-or longer,it's quite flexible and it would be up to you.

ANDREW:Mmm.

So what does the part-time course involve?

MONICA:For that you would join an evening class and have a lecture twice a week.

Then,you'd have to attend a seminar or discussion workshop one weekend a month.

ANDREW:What kind of coursework would I have to do?

MONICA:Well,it's a mixture.

You'd be expected to write(Q24-25)an essay each month,which counts towards your final assessment.

You have a case study to do by the end of the course,which might involve doing a survey or something like that,and also you need to hand in(Q24-25)a short report every four weeks.

ANDREW:So,that's quite a lot of work,then,on top of working every day.

It sounds like a lot of studying-and really tiring.

MONICA:Yes,you certainly wouldn't have much free time!

ANDREW:What about the'modular'course?

What would I have to do for that?

MONICA:That's where you get the opportunity to study full-time for short periods.

That way you can cover a lot of coursework and attend lectures and seminars during the day.

And each module lasts for one term,say,about twelve weeks at a time.

There are obvious advantages in this-the main one being that you can study in a much more intensive way,which suits some people much better.

ANDREW:And how many of these'modules'would I have to do to get the diploma?

MONICA:The current programme is two modules-and then you have to choose a topic to work in more depth-but you can base that on your job,and so you don't need to be away from the office,and how long it takes is up to you.

The important thing is that you don't have to study and work.

You can focus on one thing at a time.

ANDREW:Yes,I can see that.

It certainly sounds attractive!

It would be more expensive,though.

I mean,I'd have to support myself without pay for each module.

MONICA:That's true,so that might be a problem for you.

Look,why don't you talk this over with your employers and...

二、Management Diploma Course听力中文翻译：

安德鲁：对不起，有人告诉我来这里咨询一下，呃，管理文凭课程？

莫妮卡：你来对地方了。

嗨，我叫莫妮卡。

安德鲁：很高兴见到你。

我叫安德鲁，安德鲁·哈里斯。

莫妮卡：安德鲁，你看过我们的文凭课程说明书了吗？

安德鲁：是的，我已经看过了。

事实上，我认为有关课程内容的信息非常有用，但恐怕我对你学习这门课程的各种不同方式感到有点困惑：全日制密集型、非全日制等等。

莫妮卡：好吧，看看我能不能帮上忙。

我认为每种课程都有其优缺点，所以这确实取决于你——当然，你自己的学习习惯和你的财务状况。

你现在在工作吗？

安德鲁：是的。

过去三年来，我一直在当地医院的行政科工作。

在此之前，我在一家计算机工程公司的办公室工作了两年。

所以，我有大约五年的相关工作经验。

我希望关注的是人事管理。

我明白了。

你是打算离开现在的工作去学习，还是只想休息一年？

安德鲁：我想知道我的选择是什么，真的。

我不想辞去工作或其他任何事情，我的雇主希望我获得更多的资格，但很明显，如果我能在不占用太多时间的情况下学习一门课程，那会更好。

莫妮卡：对，那么你真的不想上全日制课程了？

安德鲁：不，不是真的。

这也是一个财务问题。

你看，我的办公室已经同意自己支付课程费用，但如果我想全日制学习，我就必须请无薪假，而且，我想我不能在没有薪水的情况下养活自己一整年。

莫妮卡：好的。

嗯，你还有另外两种可能性：你可以选修两年多的非全日制课程，也可以选修我们称之为“模块化”的课程。

如果你愿意的话，你可以在18个月内完成，或者更长时间，这是非常灵活的，这将取决于你。

安德鲁：嗯。

那么兼职课程包括什么呢？

莫妮卡：所以你要参加夜校，每周上两次课。

然后，你必须每月参加一个周末的研讨会或讨论会。

安德鲁：我需要做什么样的功课？

莫妮卡：嗯，这是一种混合物。

你需要每月写一篇论文（Q24-25），这将计入你的最终评估。

在课程结束前，你要做一个案例研究，可能需要做一个调查或类似的事情，而且你还需要每四周提交一份简短的报告（Q24-25）。

安德鲁：那么，除了每天工作之外，这是相当多的工作。

这听起来像是在学习，而且真的很累。

莫妮卡：是的，你肯定没有多少空闲时间！

安德鲁：“模块化”课程怎么样？

我该怎么办？

莫妮卡：那就是你有机会短期全日制学习的地方。

这样你就可以完成大量的课程作业，白天还可以参加讲座和研讨会。

每个模块持续一个学期，比如说，一次大约十二周。

这有着明显的优势，主要的一点是你可以以一种更深入的方式学习，这更适合一些人。

安德鲁：要拿到文凭，我需要完成多少个“模块”？

莫妮卡：目前的课程有两个模块，然后你必须选择一个更深入的主题，但你可以根据你的工作来选择，因此你不需要离开办公室，需要多长时间取决于你。

重要的是你不必学习和工作。

你可以一次专注于一件事。

安德鲁：是的，我看得出来。

听起来确实很吸引人！

不过，这会更贵。

我的意思是，我必须养活自己，每个模块都不需要付费。

莫妮卡：那是真的，所以这对你来说可能是个问题。

听着，你为什么不和你的雇主商量一下，然后。

五、Management Diploma Course听力答案解析

Question 21 B主语是Andrew，注意听此人的回答。并且注意题目中提到的是其在医院工作，而不是其他工作。原文中提到他在医院工作有三年的时间。而干扰项也出现了在电脑

公司工作了两年时间，总共的工作时间是五年。很明显，后两个时间应该是干扰项。

Question 22 A.题目中出现了“employers”，这是本题的关键词，考生需要有意识地想象这个单词的同义词或者近义词。题目中“office”是“employers”的同义转换，暗示着考生答题点会立即出现，“the cost of the course”和“fees”是同义转换。

Question 23 C题目中出现“part-time course”之后，立即出现了答题点“two years”。干扰项“18 months”是“modular course”持续的时间。

Question 24-25 B/D.这是双向选择题，做此类题时考生应注意题目中具体是对哪个主题提问。注意此题中的两个关键词“each month，part-time course”。题目之中首先用“each month”这个条件排除了“casestudy，survey”。另外“every four weeks”和“each month”是同义转换，可以选出“report”是正确答案。

Question 26 full-time.考生应首先判断出需要填写的单词应为名词。原文中明确提到的路标词“study”暗示考生答题点立即出现。

Question 27 aterm/oneterm.首先判断出需要填写的单词应为名词。题目中的“take”表示持续时间长短，和原文中的“last for”是同义转换。

Question 28 intensive.根据“very”可以判断出此处需要填写形容词。原文中的“much more”用来修饰形容词，因而出现这个提示词组的时候，要注意答案会出现。

Question 29 two modules（/for）two terms.题目中“diploma”在听力原文的问题中出现，因而暗示着答题点会马上出现，并且，“two modules”在原文中重读。

Question 30 a topic/one topic“.work on”和“choose”是同义转换，提示“a topic”是正确答案。
