There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.

　　M: In my time, there wasnt a degree you could do for administration. I think most of the administrators Ive come across have degrees and all sorts of things.

　　W: Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didnt really expect to end up doing what I am doing now.

　　M: Quite.

　　W: But you are local to Nottingham, actually? Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?

　　24. What was the mans job in secondary schools?

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。在說完I did a degree in French at Nottingham.之后，男士又接著說After that, I did careers guidance in secondary schools.因此，此題的答案應(yīng)為：careers guidance。

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。女士問：Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?你去諾丁漢大學(xué)是出于什么原因?男士在回答中說到，諾丁漢是我心中理想大學(xué)之一。緊接著他就說道：And I like the look of it.還進(jìn)一步補(bǔ)充說明道： The campus is just beautiful. 因此，男士是因被其優(yōu)雅環(huán)境所吸引而選擇去諾丁漢大學(xué)。所以，本題的答案為：Its pleasant environment.

　　這篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話圍繞男士的教育背景和職業(yè)發(fā)展展開。按順序分別談到男士從諾丁漢大學(xué)法語專業(yè)，畢業(yè)之后去了中學(xué)和政府工作，然后又進(jìn)入了大學(xué)管理層。這期間，他并沒有刻意做過任何的職業(yè)發(fā)展計(jì)劃，也沒有接受過專門的相關(guān)職業(yè)培訓(xùn)，主要是因?yàn)樵谒淖x書時(shí)代，并沒有可攻讀的管理學(xué)學(xué)位。對(duì)話最后談到了男士去諾丁漢大學(xué)讀書的原因是被其校園的優(yōu)美風(fēng)景所吸引。

　　這篇對(duì)話有一定難度。特別是關(guān)于男士職業(yè)的說法，考生未必熟悉。但考生不必緊張，因?yàn)橹饕募?xì)節(jié)考查中，專業(yè)是法語、因?yàn)榄h(huán)境優(yōu)雅所以選擇諾丁漢大學(xué)這兩題都不難聽出。
