2016届高考英语高分冲刺特训听力素材1（word版）31

　　Section Two:

　　Tapescript.

　　Probability:

　　No luck then, John?

　　Afraid not, sir. Not yet, anyhow. We’re still checking on stolen cars.

　　Mm.

　　Where do you think he’ll head for, sir?

　　Well, he definitely won’t try to leave the country yet. He may try to get a passport, and he’ll certainly need clothes and money. He’ll probably get in touch with Cornfield for those, so I expect he’ll make for Birmingham.

　　Right. I’ll put some men on the house.

　　Yes, do that. Mind you, I doubt if he’ll show up there in person. Hammond’s no fool, you know. I should think he’ll probably telephone.

　　What about his wife?

　　Mm. I shouldn’t think he’ll go anywhere near her—though he might get her to join him after he’s left the country. And when he does leave, he probably won’t use a major airport, either. So you’d better alert the coastguard, and keep an eye on the private airfields.

　　Right, sir. I’d better get his description circulated.

　　Yes. He may change his appearance, of course, but I don’t expect he’ll be able to do much about the tattoos ... And John—be careful. He could be armed. And if I know Hammond, he certainly won’t give himself up without a fight.

　　Job Hunting:

　　A lot of young people today find it difficult to get a job, especially in the first few months after they leave school. This is much more of a problem now than it has ever been in the past. In some parts of the country sixty or even seventy per cent of young people in the last years of school will be without a job for a whole year after leaving school.
