二、听力原文

Woman: Wow, congratulations, Simon! The place looks absolutely amazing!

Man: Really? You think so?

W: Of course. I love it. It looks like you had a professional interior designer. But you didn’t, did you?

M: No. I did it all by myself with a little help from my brother, Greg. He’s actually in the construction business, which was really helpful.

W: Honestly, I’m impressed! I know I can probably repaint the walls in my house over a weekend or something, but not a full renovation. Where did you get your ideas? I wouldn’t know where to start.[12]

M: Well, for a while now, I’ve been regularly buying home design magazines. Every now and then, I’d saved the pictures I liked. Believe it or not, I have a full notebook of magazine pages. [13] Since by overall style was quite minimal, I thought and hoped a whole renovation wouldn’t be too difficult. And sure enough, with Greg’s help, it was very achievable.

W: Wasn’t it expensive? I have imagined a project like this could be.

M: Actually, it was surprisingly affordable. I managed to sell a lot of my old furniture and put that extra money towards the new material. [14] Greg was also able to get some discount materials from a recent project he was working on as well.

W: Great! If you don’t mind, I’d like to pick your brain a bit more. Johansson and I are thinking of renovating our sitting room, not the whole house, not yet anyway. And we’d love to get some inspiration from your experience. [15] Are you free to come over for a coffee early next week?

Q12: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

【翻译】

哇噢，可喜可贺，西蒙！这地方看起来棒极了！

真的吗？你这么认为？

那是当然。我很喜欢。这看起来好像你有个专业的室内设计师一样。但你并没有，是吗？

是的，我是在哥哥格雷格的帮助下独自完成的。他实际上是做建筑生意的，这真的对我很有帮助。

说实话，这真的令我印象深刻！我知道我可以用一个周末或别的什么时候重新粉刷我房子的墙壁，

但不能完全翻新。话说你的灵感哪里来的？我都不知道从哪里开始着手。

嗯，有一段时间，我经常买家居设计杂志。

我时不时地把喜欢的照片存起来。

说出来你可能不信，我有一本满是杂志页的笔记本。

由于整体风格是比较小的，我想但愿整个装修不会太困难。果不其然，在格雷格的帮助下，这是非常可行的。

不贵吗？我也想象过像这样的一个工程。

实际上出人意料，完全负担得起。我设法卖掉了许多旧家具，把多余的钱用在新材料上。

格雷格也能从他最近的一个项目中得到一些折扣材料。

太好了！如果你不介意的话，我想向你请教下。

约翰森和我正在考虑装修我们的起居室，而不是整个房子，反正现在还没有。

我们很想从你的经历中得到一些启发。

下星期初你有空过来喝杯咖啡吗？

请根据刚才所听文章回答12-15题。

问题12：从对话中我们可以了解到女士什么信息？

问题13：这个人对这个项目的想法来自哪里？

问题14：关于他最近完成的项目，男士说了什么？

问题15：女士为什么邀请男士下周去她家？
