Haiti〕工作的医生。该医生除了治病救人之外，还十分关注海地社会中的不平等以及该国的医疗卫生状况。在贫困地区进行的研究给他的工作带来了巨大的帮助，那里医疗根底设施条件差、医疗效劳从业者稀少，但是他们克服了重重阻碍，建立起了医疗设施，训练当地人成为社区医疗效劳者，为当地以及其他贫困国家和地区医疗卫生事业的开展树立了模范。本篇听力难度适中，对于一些专有名词如 Haiti、typhoid，如果听不出，不用过分纠结，重点是把握大意，抓住一些重点细节，如数字、时间、工作具体内容关键词physician内科医师inequality不平等extremity极端；险境infrastructure根底设施facility设施diagnose诊断Listeningcomprehension4Thankyouallforcomingtomytalkthisevening.It'snicetoseesomanypeopleintheaudience.Forthoseofyouwhodon'tknowverymuchaboutPSCamping.Letmestartbygivingyousomebackgroundinformationaboutthecompany.Thecompanystarted25yearsago.Itactuallyopenedasaretailchainsellingcampingequipment.Andthentwentyyearsago,itboughtasmallnumberofcampsitesintheUK,andbeganofferingcampingholidays.ThecompanygrewrapidlyandhasbeenprovidingholidaysincontinentalEuropeforthelastfifteenyears.Ifyoubookacampingholidaywithus,you'llhaveachoiceofoverthreehundredsites.InItalywenowhavesome64sitesthatweeitherown,orhaveexclusiveuseof.Franceiswherewehavethemajorityofsites,andwecurrentlyhaveaprojecttoexpandintoSwitzerland.WealsohaveanumberofsitesinNorthernSpain,particularlyinthemountainousregionofPicosdeEuropa.We'veupgradedalltheseSpanishsites,andimprovedthemconsiderablyfromtheiroriginalthree-starrating.Webelieveourholidaysoffersuperbfacilitiesforthewholefamily.Parentswhowanttheirchildrentobefullyoccupiedforallorpartofthedaycantakeadvantageofourchildren'sactivities.Theseareorganizedbyourwell-qualifiedandenthusiasticstaff.Eachdaykicksoffwithasportsmatch,perhapsfootball,orvolleyball,followedbyanhourofdramaforeveryone.Thismayincludesingingordancing,mimeorotheractivities.Intheafternoon,there'sadifferentartactivityforeachdayoftheweekincludingapostercompetitionormodelmaking.What'smore,oursitesaretrulychild-friendly,and,withthisinmind,weoperateano-noiseruleintheevenings.Children'seveningactivitiesusuallyfinishat9:30,oroccasionally10,andfrom10:30holiday-makersareexpectedtobequietintheareaswheretherearetents.WewantnothingtogowrongonaPSCampingholiday,butifitdoes,wealsowantallcustomerstobeinsured.Ifyouhaven'torganizedanannualinsurancepolicyofyourownyou'llneedtotakeoutthelow-costcoverweofferandwerequirethatyouarrangethiswhenyoumakeyourholidayreservation.TherearemanyadvantagestochoosingPSCamping,andtorecommendingittoothers.Asaregularcustomer,you'llbekeptinformedofspecialoffers.Andyoucanbenefitfromtenpercentofftheirholiday,orbookaluxurytentforthepriceofastandardone.Inreturn,we'llsendyouathank-youpresent,whichyoucanchoosefromalistofhigh-qualityitems.Q16.HowmanyyearsagowasthecompanyPSCampingestablishedintheUK?Q17.Whatwasthecompany'sbusinesswhenitopenedintheUK?Q18.Inwhichofthefollowingcountriesdoesthecompanyhavethemajorityofcampingsites?Q19.Thereareseveralkindsofactivitieswhichcanfullyoccupychildrenforallorpartoftheday.Whichofthefollowingisnotoneofthese?Q20.Whichofthefollowingisanadvantagethataregularcustomercanenjoyfromthecompany?【解析】本篇听力取材于雅思考试真题，内容是一家名叫 PSCamping公司的介绍，包括公司历史，业务范围，各项活动，优惠政策等等。该公司成立于25年前，原本是一家露营装备销售商，后来转向为露营假日活动组织者，在欧洲大陆业务开展迅速。该公司能够为客户组织各种活动供全家娱乐，但要求客户投保，最后还提供了给老客户的多项优惠政策。除了专有名词PicosdeEuropa〔欧罗巴山〕之外，全文没有生僻词汇。五个题目均是常见的细节题，而文中细节要素比拟多，要求考生注意力集中，抓住细节做好笔记，选出正确
