M: Sarah! Good to meet you again! And welcome on board!
W: Thanks Philip. I’m very pleased to be here.
M: [6]I hope you enjoyed your holiday. Where did you go?
W: [6]I went to Thailand. It was lovely, with beautiful scenery, great beaches, delicious seafood, and also nice people. I stayed there for nearly two weeks. Pretty relaxing!
M: Lucky you! It’s time for hard work now, though!
W: Absolutely. I’m ready for it!
M: Let me show you to your office...
W: Wow. What a surprise! [7]I didn’t know I’d have my own office! So you don’t hot desk here?
M: Well, most people do, as you can see, but we thought you’d need all your own private space, especially if you’re meeting clients directly. But the atmosphere is actually quite informal because it’s open plan.
W: That’s good. I like that—you definitely get the sense of everyone being really busy!
M: Yes, they are—I hope!
M: So this is your space!
W: Wow! Great—lots of space! My last office was much smaller, with just a desk and a chair. The office really looks great. I didn’t expect to see a couch here. It looks very cozy. And the paintings on the wall are so beautiful. I like them a lot.
M: [8]We’re always proud of the office design in our company. This can delight the customers’ eyes when they first come here and at the same time help release the staffs pressure.
W: Yeah, it’s really nice.
M: By the way, how many people did you work with in your last company?
W: I had a team of three.
M: Well, here you’ll have six people under you. We’ll introduce you to your sales team after lunch. All of them are very energetic and outgoing people, and also they are really hard-working. I hope you can work well and get along well with them.
W: Hmmm, absolutely. What do you usually do for lunch?
M: Some people bring it in. We have a pantry over there, with a microwave, a fridge, and a coffee machine. You can definitely have lunch there. [9]But there’s a canteen on the ground floor. The food’s actually quite good, and pretty cheap! It’s more convenient.
W: Great.
M: Now then, I’ll tell you about your schedule—there’s a sales and marketing meeting every Monday, [10]as well as a meet-up with the various heads of department on Thursday afternoons, just so we know what we’re doing. Other than that, how you organize your time is up to you.
W: That’s fine. I’m a good time manager!
M: Okay. We’ll leave you to it then!
W: I think I’m going to like working here!

8.What is the advantage of the office design according to the man?
9.What does the man suggest the woman do for lunch?
10.When does the woman have a meeting with the department managers?

选项 A、Everyone has his own office.
B、Most people share the desks.
C、Most people’s desks are very hot.
D、The woman has no private space.

答案B

解析 ①根据选项中的office,desk,space等关键词可推测本题与办公室相关。②对话中,女士对于自己能有自己的办公桌表示很惊讶,她问男士:“大家在这里是不是不共用办公桌(don’t hot desk)?”男士回答大部分人会,B项的share the desks是hot desk的同义替换,故正确。③女士对自己有独立的办公室表示惊讶,可见A“人人都有自己的私人办公室”不对,与男士所说的大部分人共用办公桌也不符。C“大部分人的桌子是热的”误解了hot desk的意思。女士有单独的办公室,是因为男士觉得女士可能需要自己的私人空间,特别是有时要直接与客户见面,D“女士没有自己的私人空间”与此相反。
