　　M: Which markets were you responsible for?

　　W: For Europe and Japan.

　　M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?

　　W: Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2006. I met all the key people in the tourist industry, the big tour operators and tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.

　　M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan in your present job?

　　W: Yes, I’ve had a lot. The truth is I have become very popular with the Japanese, both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently.

　　M: Really, I’m interested to hear more about that, but first, tell me, have you ever traveled on a luxury train? The Orient Express, for example.

　　W: No I haven’t, but I have traveled on a glacier express to Switzerland and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That’s why I’m very interested in this job.

　　24. 【答案】D

　　【解析】该题各选项都是关于某人的经历或者资历，体现出了不同的方面，故听音时要注意把握细节。该问题问女士在日本出差时的优势是什么。对话中女士提到As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.故答案为D。

　　25. 【答案】B

　　【解析】选项表明，该题考查的很可能是某项工作会给她带来的好处。对话中女士提到I love train travel. That’s why I’m very interested in this job. 故答案为B。
