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.

题型分析：PETS-4级考试大纲明确指出，PETS-4 听力测试的第一节为表格填空题。表格题主要测试考生听写的能力，考生做这类题目时，考生一定要注意题目所要求的字数限制为1个单词。表格中的空白一般为人名、地名、数字、国籍以及其它一些实义名词、动词和形容词等，而其他一些虚词，像a, the可以不计算入内，比如说a flower可以计算为一个词，但是a beautiful flower就是两个词了;而一些数字，比如电话号码(33433438)或者一个大数10，000,000(ten millions)都只是算作一个词;有时空白处要填入数字时，比如1991，有些考生执意要将答案写成nineteen ninety-one，也未尝不可，但是一定要将每个单词都拼写正确，否则得不到分。表格中有时会出现一些a.m.或者一些钱币的符号。这是命题者为了避免考生可能没有注意到字数的限制，而将听到的完整信息全部写了下来，会被视为错误而扣分而专门设计的，因此，在填充表格时一定要注意表格的格式以及字数限制。
