Directions: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
W: Raise Solar. Lisa's speaking. How can I help?
M: Hi. My name is Winston. 8 I wish to enquire about solar panel installations.
W: Yes. What would you like to know?
M: Well, my neighbor installed panels on his roof about a year ago, in order to power his hot water. He tells me it has saved him over $500 thus far. Does that sound about right to you?
W: Well, I'm not familiar with your neighbor or his particular setup. But that amount is definitely possible. I can tell you that the average four-bedroom house may typically have a roof with 50 square metres of surface area. Four panels on one side of that roof could save a family of four around $300 a year.
M: OK. That sounds about right, then. My house is about the size you described, but my neighbor's is bigger. I'm not sure how many panels he has up there, 9 but he does have a large family of six.
W: Are you interested in installing some solar panels on your roof, sir?
M: Yes. I'm considering it.
W: If you wish to come into our office, we could show you the different solutions we offer.
M: OK. I might do that. 10 But just quickly if you don't mind, could you tell me approximately how much a typical installation costs, like, say, four panels?
W: Prices do vary depending on different factors, but as a rough estimate, it's around $2,000. 11 But you know, a typical household will make back that initial investment in about five years.
M: OK. I see. Thank you.
女：这里是瑞斯太阳能。我是丽莎。我能帮您做点什么？
男：嗨。我叫温斯顿。 8 我想咨询一下太阳能电池板安装的问题。
女：好的。您想了解什么？
男：嗯，大约一年前我的邻居在屋顶上安装了电池板，为他的热水供电。他告诉我到目前为止太阳能已经为他节省了500多美元。这个数额你听上去觉得合理吗？
女：嗯，我对您的邻居或他的具体安装情况不熟悉。但这个数额绝对是可能的。我可以这么跟您说，常见的四居室房子通常都有50平方米的屋顶面积，在屋顶一侧安装的四块电池板每年可以为四口之家节省大约300美元。
男：好的。那么他所说的数额听上去没错。我的房子和你描述的差不多大，但我邻居的房子要大一些。我不知道他在屋顶上安装了多少电池板， 9 但他确实有一个六口人的大家庭。
女：先生，您有兴趣在屋顶安装太阳能电池板吗？
男：是的。我正在考虑。
女：如果您愿意来我们办公室，我们可以向您展示我们能提供的不同解决方案。
男：好的。我觉得可以。 10 如果你不介意的话，能即刻告诉我一个典型的安装项目大概需要多少钱，比如说，四个电池板？
女：价格确实因不同因素而异，但粗略估计，大约在2000美元左右。 11 但您知道，一个典型的家庭会在大约五年内收回最初的投资。
男：好的。我了解了。谢谢。
