2、s more important to get experience in different types of market research to find out exactly what youre interested in.M: So what are you interested in?W: Well, at the moment, I specialize in quantitative advertising research, which means that I do two types of projects. Trackers, which are ongoing p
3、rojects that look at trends or customer satisfaction over a long period of time. The only problem with trackers is that it takes up a lot of your time. But you do build up a good relationship with the client. I also do a couple of ad-hoc jobs which are much shorter projects.M: What exactly do you me
4、an by ad-hoc jobs?W: Its basically when companies need quick answers to their questions about their consumers habits. They just ask for one questionnaire to be sent out for example, so the time you spend on an ad-hoc project tends to be fairly short.M: Which do you prefer, trackers or ad-hoc?W: I li
5、ke doing both and in fact I need to do both at the same time to keep me from going crazy. I need the variety.M: Can you just explain what process you go through with a new client?W: Well, together we decide on the methodology and the objectives of the research. I then design a questionnaire. Once th
6、e interviewers have been briefed, I send the client a schedule and then they get back to me with deadlines. Once the final charts and tables are ready, I have to check them and organize a presentation.M: Hmm, one last question, what do you like and dislike about your job?W: As I said, variety is imp
7、ortant and as for what I dont like, it has to be the checking of charts and tables.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q1: What position does the woman hold in the company?Q2: What does the woman specialize in at the moment?Q3: What does the woman say about trackers?Q4
8、: What does the woman dislike about her job?Conversation TwoW: Hello, Im here with Frederick. Now Fred, you went to university in Canada?M: Yeah, thats right.W: OK, and you have very strong views about universities in Canada. Could you please explain?M: Well, we dont have private universities in Can
9、ada. Theyre all public. All the universities are owned by the government, so there is the Ministry of Education in charge of creating the curriculum for the universities and so there is not much room for flexibility. Since its a government operated institution, things dont move very fast. If you wan
10、t something to be done, then their staff do not have so much incentive to help youbecause hes a worker for the government. So I dont think its very efficient. However, there are certain advantages of public universities, such as the fees being free. You dont have to pay for your education. But the s
11、ystem isnt efficient, and it does not work that well.W: Yeah, I can see your point, but in the United States we have many private universities, and I think they are large bureaucracies also. Maybe people dont act that much differently, because its the same thing working for a private university. The
12、y get paid for their job. I dont know if theyre that much more motivated to help people. Also, we have a problem in the United States that usually only wealthy kids go to the best schools and its kind of a problem actually.M: I agree with you. I think its a problem because youre not giving equal acc
13、ess to education to everybody. Its not easy, but having only public universities also might not be the best solution. Perhaps we can learn from Japan where they have a system of private and public universities. Now, in Japan, public universities are considered to be the best.W: Right. Its the exact
14、opposite in the United States.M: So, as you see, its very hard to say which one is better.W: Right, a good point.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q5: What does the woman want Frederick to talk about?Q6: What does the man say about the curriculum in Canadian universi
15、ties?Q7: On what point do the speakers agree?Q8: What point does the man make at the end of the conversation?Section BPassagesPassage OnePassage 1 A recent International Labour Organization report says the deterioration of real wages around the world calls into question the true extent of an economi
16、c recovery, especially if government rescue packages are phased out too early.The report warns the picture on wages is likely to get worse this year, despite indications of an economic rebound. Patrick Belser, an International Labour Organization specialist, says declining wage rates are linked to the levels of unemployment.“The quite dramatic unemployment figures, which we n
