In this section,you will hear two long conversations.Each conversation will be read only once.A t the end of each conversation,there will be a one-minute pause.During the pause,read the questions and make your answers on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
Conversation One
Listen to the conversation.Then read the four choices marked A,B,C and D,and decide which is the best answer according to what you hear.Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
M:Daphne,where did your idea for the charity cycle ride originate?
W:Actually,as far as the cycling’s concerned,for a short period when I was13I cycled to school,but since then,over the course of30years,I’d had no interest in bikes whatsoever.But browsing through a Soil
A ssociation magazine,I read about the Great Organic Bike Ride and decided to participate.Why?Well,it was a personal challenge,but above all it was a way of raising money for The Soil Association,which needs funds to help increase the amount of home-grown organic food.At present,just three percent of UK farmland is organic.I mean,seventy percent of our organic food has to be imported.I thought participating in the bike ride would give me the opportunity to tell more and more people about the importance of organic food production,and I thought cycling couldn’t be that hard,could it?
M:Tell us a little bit about the ride itself.
W:Well,the ride took place in May,and the participants rode from Bilbao to Barcelona.Helen Simmons from the Soil Association who also participated brilliantly organized the UK end of the trip,but once in Spain,a specialist tour operator took over.They focus mainly on walking and biking holidays.Anyway, the participants met for the first time in the ferry departure terminal at Portsmouth.Everyone kept their thoughts to themselves,but we were all thinking the same thing:did I train enough?Can I do it?
