听力考试的第一节考查考生理解特定或具体信息的能力。考生根据所听到的一段180-220词的独白或对话，填补表格中的空白。该小节录音材料将播放两遍。问题在干中给出，不再在录音中播放。本小节一共五道题，播放录音前有25秒的答题时间，第一遍录音放完后有30秒答题时间，第二遍录音播放完后有20秒完成答案和检查答案时间。

本节考试的核心题型为细节题，考查考生对给定范围细节的定位和获取事实性具体信息的能力。出题点集中在时间、地点、天气、人物、数字、电话号码和价格等细节信息上。由于考题中已给出所要求的细节内容，因此考生只需要听懂原文并进行合理定位即可。该小节题目比较简单，考生对该部分的分数应志在必得。

[听力原文]

M: Good morning, Can I help you?

W: Yes, good morning, I’ve just got a few questions, I wonder if you can help me sort them out. M: I’ll see what I can do.

W: Can you tell me when Sudeley Castle, Sudeley? We want to go there this morning.

M: Yes,of course. Sudeley Castle, Sudeley, I think it’s open all day, someone asked me this a week or so ago. Here we are, I’ve got the guide, yes, it’s open from 11 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon, well not quite all day, but morning and afternoon.

W: Eleven to five, OK, that’s great. Er, can you tell me how much it costs to get in?

M: Yes, it costs ￡4.50 fot adults and ￡3.00 for children. It sounds a bit expensive but there’s a lot to do there. I think it’s worth the money.

W: OK, now another question: what exactly is Snowshill Manor? What can you see there?

M: Oh, it’s a museum, an absolutely fascinating collection of all sorts of things, like clocks and cabinets, and all kinds of swords and masks.
