24、o the woman speaker?A 【解析】對話開頭，女士就說邁克在CucinTech 負責了一個創新項目，并接著說到項目似乎非常成功。由此，可選定A 項“男士在 CucinTech 負責的項目”。【干擾項排除】根據選項關鍵詞project, technology, career 以及company ,可推測問題可能與工作相關。對話主要探討的是戰略上的創新，而B項“CucinTech的技術革新”只是利用對話里的關鍵詞innovation 進行干擾；C 項“男士轉換到新的職業上”在對話中并未提及；對話談論的是男士在CucinTech 的工作情況，與女士公司無關，故排除D 項“她公司的重組

25、”。2 What did the company lack before the mans scheme was implemented?B 【解析】 女士問到是否CucinTech 命運的逆轉完全歸功于戰略創新，男士作了肯定回答，并表達了他對CucinTech 的看法， 認為這個公司以前只是一味地隨大流，重復別人的做法。由此可見，CucinTech 以前缺乏戰略創新，所以選B 項。【干擾項排除】從選項的內容來看，題目涉及公司的情況。 A項“人才”是該公司的優勢而不是它欠缺的；男士認為該公司在產品研發上有很大潛力，但并未提及產品是否具有競爭力，故 C 項“具有競爭力的產品”排除； D 項“有效

26、的促銷”在對話中并沒有提及。3 What does the man say he should do in his business?C 【解析】 對話圍繞戰略創新展開，男士表達了自己對創新的看法，即“我們需要不斷地創新，以跟上時代的步伐，停滯不前就等于落后”，接著他指出，“作為公司戰略，創新沒有止境”，所以在商業領域他應該做的就是 C 項“不斷創新”。【干擾項排除】選項均為原形動詞短語，推測問題可能與行為、動作有關。A項“擴大市場”在對話中未提及； B 項“招聘更多人才”和 D 項“留心競爭對手”則利用對話中出現的talent 和 competitor 來作干擾。4 What does th

27、e man say is the risk of innovation?D 【解析】對于創新，男士提出他的擔憂，即經常導致被模仿，所以D 項“被競爭對手模仿”正確。【干擾項排除】根據選項中的bankruptcy, conflicts, difficulties, competitors等關鍵詞可推測題目與某個困境相關。 A項“可能破產”、B項“難以預見的困難”和C項“公司內部的 沖突”在對話中均未提及。Conversation Two5 What are the speakers mainly talking about?A【 解析】 對話開頭就開門見山地介紹了一位口譯嘉賓，接下來兩人圍繞著嘉

28、賓的工作展開了一系列討論。因此，選A 項“一位口譯者的工作”。【干擾項排除】選項均為名詞短語，可推測問題可能與對話的主題相關。對話中提到過口譯者的壓力，但這只是對話中的一部分，而且對話并未提及其他專業人士的壓力問題，故B 項“專業人士感受到的壓力”排除； 對話中雖然提到了口譯中語言熟練的問題，但這不是對話的核心，C 項“語言熟練程度的重要性”太過片面； D 項“有效溝通的最好方式”在對話中未提及。6 What does the man think of Danas profession?B【解析】男士明確表明了他對Dana的工作充滿了欽佩，故選 B項“令人欽佩的”。【干擾項排除】選項均為表主觀

29、感受的形容詞，推測題目問態度或看法。 A項“有希望 的”、 C 項“值得的”和 D 項“有意義的”均不是男士對女士工作的看法。7 What does Dana say about the interpreters she knows?B【解析】舌中，Dana用一個雙重否定句強調，她所認識的口譯工作者都取得了專業資質，并經過專業訓練。所以，B 項“他們都具有專業資質”正確。【干擾項排除】選項的主語都是They,且均關于具備的某種素質或能力，聽音時留意相關信息。 A 項“他們都對語言很感興趣”不選， 口譯者們是否對語言有強烈的興趣并未在對話中提及；女士并沒有提到他們是否都通過了語言能力測試，故C

30、項錯誤；而D 項“他們都學習過跨文化差異”在對話中未提及。8 What do most interpreters think of consecutive interpreting?C【解析】對話中，女士說大多數口譯者都認為，與同聲傳譯相比，交替傳譯更有壓力，故選 C 項“它比同聲傳譯更有壓力”。【干擾項排除】選項主語均為It,且每個句子都有表示比較的詞匯，聽音時注意有關對比的信息。A項“它要求更多的詞匯量”和B項“它更看重準確性”在對話中沒有提及；根據 對話，交替傳譯更考驗人的短時記憶，D 項“它考驗人在更大壓力下的長時記憶”與此相悖，故應排除。Section BPassage One9 W

31、hat is the long-held view about mothers sleeping with newborn babies?C【解析】錄音首句就指出，多年來媽媽們一直被警告，與新生兒睡在一起不好，因為這會增加嬰兒夜間意外死亡的風險，由此可選定C 項。【干擾項排除】選項主語均為It,且根據選項關鍵詞mother, infants 等可推測題目詢問某事對媽媽、嬰兒的影響。 A 項“它可能影響媽媽的健康”是以色列研究者得出的最新發現，而不是長期以來的一種觀點；B 項“它可能妨礙嬰兒睡眠”和 D 項“它可能使媽媽精神上更加苦悶”在短文中未提及。10 What do Israeli res

32、earchers findings show?D【解析】以色列研究者發現，即使與嬰兒睡在同一個房間，也會對媽媽產生負面影響，D項中的 impact 是文中 consequence 的同義替換，為正確答案。【干擾項排除】根據選項關鍵詞mothers 、 babies、 sleep 等可推測題目詢問的是關于睡眠與媽媽或嬰兒的關系。錄音中只是提到很多被調查的媽媽都是母乳喂養，并沒有提及母乳喂養對媽媽睡眠的影響，A 項“母乳喂養的媽媽入睡更困難”沒有依據；錄音指出，與嬰兒一起睡影響媽媽睡眠，B 項“與嬰兒一起睡的媽媽每晚需要更多睡眠”屬于過度推斷； 錄音中只是提及爸爸的睡眠模式可能影響媽媽，但是 C

33、項“媽媽的睡眠模式極大地影響新生兒的健康”在短文中并未提及。11 What does the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend mothers do?B【解析】為了減少嬰兒猝死的風險，美國兒科學會建議媽媽們不要跟嬰兒同床睡，但可以睡在一個房間，所以選B 項。【干擾項排除】選項均為原形動詞短語，推測問題可能與行為、動作有關。A項“改變睡眠模式以適應她們的新生寶寶”并不是兒科學會建議的內容； C 項“與寶寶睡在同一個家， 但不同的房間”不符合美國兒科學會的建議； D 項“采取預防措施以減少嬰兒猝死的風險”屬 過度推斷，錄音中沒有涉及預防措施。Pass

34、age Two12 What do we learn from the report?A【解析】短文講的是很多美國本土語言瀕臨滅絕的困境，第一句話就指出，美國已經丟失了超過 1/3 的本土語言，由此可選定A 項“美國很多本土語言已經滅絕”。【干擾項排除】根據選項關It詞native languages , US, died out, preserve 等可推測題目與美國本土語言的困境有關。美國現有192種語言瀕臨滅絕，但錄音并未提及這個數字為世界之最，B 項“美國瀕危語言的數量最多”屬過度推斷；美國印第安人國家博物館的Fred Nahwooksy 說，讓這些瀕危語言回歸到日常使用正在進展當中，

35、可排除C 項“保護印第安語的努力被證明是徒勞的”； Fred Nahwooksy 也說到“我們需要需要錢使這些語言復活，而不僅僅是記錄它們”，所以 D 項“需要更多的錢來記錄美國的本土語言”可排除。13 For what purpose does Fred Nahwooksy appeal for more funding?D【解析】錄音中引用美國原住民博物館的Fred的話說“我們需要更多的資金并付出更大的努力以讓這些語言重新回到日常使用中來需要錢使這些語言復活，而不僅僅是記錄它 們”，可選定 D 項。【干擾項排除】選項均為不定式，推測問題與行為動作或目的相關。 A項“建立更多的 語言學校”屬

36、過度推斷，文中指出通過學校教育可以拯救這些瀕危語言，但沒有提及創建更多新學校；B 項“記錄瀕危語言”是現有的做法， 不是 Nahwooksy 呼吁的目的；C 項“教育美國土著孩子”是拯救瀕危語言取得成效的途徑之一，不是目的，也與更多資金沒有直接的關 聯。14 What is the historical cause of the decline in the American Indian Languages?A【解析】美國印第安語言的衰落有其歷史根源：在19世紀中葉，美國政府采取了美國化印第安兒童的政策，即將印第安人的孩子趕出他們的家園，將他們與其文化隔絕。由此，可選定 A 項。【干擾項排除

37、】根據選項關鍵詞American, US government, Indian等可推測問題與美國印第安人的情況有關。B項“美國印第安語沒有取得官方地位”、C項“美國政府不愿花錢教育印第安人”和D “印第安人長期與外界隔絕”均利用個別原詞拼湊而成，錄音中都未提及。15 What does the speaker say about television?C【解析】就電視對于本土語言的危害，短文末尾指出，電視將英語帶入家庭，擠掉傳統的 家 庭 講 故 事 時 間 ， 從 而 加 速 了 本 土 語 言 的 滅 絕 。 C 項 中 的 speed up 與 該 句 中 的 accelerating

38、同義，為答案。【干擾項排除】選項均以It開頭，且根據關鍵詞native languages可預測問題關于某物與本土語言的關系。 A 項“它被利用來教授本土語言”和 D 項“它被廣泛用于浸潤式語言學校”在短文中均沒有提及；而 B 項“它在家庭聚會時間講傳統故事”與短文說法相悖，在家庭 聚會時間講傳統故事是被電視擠掉的事情。Section CRecording One16 How does unemployment insurance help the unemployed?A【解析】錄音以 Rosen為例講述了美國失業者的困境，其前段提到，Rosen借助失業保險購買日用品、支付房款，在找工作期間

39、，失業保險支付他們原來工資的一半。因此A 項“在找工作期間，失業保險支付他們原來工資的一半”正確。【干擾項排除】選項均以It開頭，且根據關鍵詞pay, they, work, living expenses等可推測題目與一群人的工作生活有關。 B 項“它給他們支付 99 周的抵押貸款和醫藥費”沒有在錄音中提到；錄音提到，失業保險后來中斷了對Rosen 的救助，表明救助是有時限的，故C 項“它一直支付他們的生活費直到他們找到另一份工作”不準確； D 項“它提供給他們基本 的生活必需品”在錄音中找不到根據。17 What is local director Elizabeth Walsh of t

40、he Bucks County CareerLink doing?B【解析】錄音中段Elizabeth Walsh表示，他們提供培訓和指導以幫助失業者在當地謀差事，由此B “為失業工人提供培訓和指導”正確。【干擾項排除】由題目選項可知，本題可能與為失業工人提供的幫助有關。A項“為龐大的失業人群創造就業崗位”和 D 項“籌措資金幫助那些沒有失業保險的人們 ”均與 Elizabeth Walsh 透露的信息無關。C 項“說服當地立法者延長失業救濟”是 99ers 聯盟的目標，也不正確。18 What does Pennsylvania State Representative Scott Petr

41、i say is the best way to help the long-term unemployed?C【解析】錄音后段女士提到，Scott Petri認為，要救助那些長期失業者，最好的辦法是允許普通公民在當地建廠辦公司，以創造更多就業崗位。因此 C 項“通過鼓勵私人投資在當地建立企業來創造更多工作崗位”正確。【干擾項排除】選項均為不定式短語，推測問題與行為動作或目的相關。 A項“提供給 他們自主創業所需要的貸款”、 B 項“允許他們延遲償還每月的抵押貸款”以及 D 項“鼓勵大 公司重新雇用那些靠政府救濟生活的人”三項表述均缺乏錄音依據。Recording Two19 What did

42、 Pen Huddle and his team do in the Arctic Ocean?D【解析】錄音開頭就指出，Pen Huddle及其團隊在北冰洋上艱苦跋涉了3個月，對冰進行測量和記錄。由此可選定D 項“他們對冰進行調查”。【干擾項排除】選項均以They 開頭， 且描述的都是行為狀態，推測題目詢問的是某人群的相關行為。A項“他們測量了海水的深度”、B項“他們分析了水含量”和C項“他們勘探 了海底”均與 Pen Huddle 和他的團隊無關。20 What does the report say about the Arctic region?D【解析】錄音前段女士指出，據最新的測量

43、顯示，極地冰的減少比人們先前想象的更為明顯。 D 項中的 decrease 和 evident 分別對應錄音中的loss 和 pronounced ，故正確。【干擾項排除】根據選項關鍵詞ice 可推測本題與冰有關。錄音前段提到，覆蓋在北冰洋的冰在10 年后大約會減少80%，而不是說A 項“80%的冰在夏季消失”；B 項“大部分的冰是在過去的幾百年累積成的”和 C 項“冰確保了許多瀕危物種的存活”在錄音中并沒有提及。21 What does Cambridge scientist Peter Wadhams say in his study?C 【解析】 錄音中段明確指出，劍橋科學家Peter

44、Wadhams 認為北極冰的減少不可逆轉，故 C 項“北極冰的減少不可逆”正確。【干擾項排除】錄音主要探討了北極冰不斷融化這一問題的嚴峻形勢及產生原因，并呼吁人們采取措施予以阻止，至于北極冰的作用及融化的危害并沒有提及，故 A 項“北極冰是世界淡水的主要來源”、 B 項“融化的北極冰已經淹沒了很多沿海城市”和 D 項“北極冰對人類生存至關重要”均無根據。22 How does Peter Wadhams view climate change?D 【解析】錄音最后Wadhams 明確表示，沒有簡單的技術手段能解決氣候變化問題。D項中的solution 對應錄音中的 fix,故正確。【干擾項排除

45、】四個選項都是關于It 的情況，應注意聽題目中It 指代何物。錄音中指出全球氣候變化，特別是全球變暖，是導致北極冰不斷融化的主要原因之一，但并沒有談論它的其他危害，所以 A 項“它將給人類造成巨大傷害”屬過度推斷； B 項“理解它不容易”在錄音中并未提及；根據 Wadhams 所言， 核技術將是解決氣候問題的方法之一，但氣候變化是否必然推動核技術進步不得而知，故排除C 項“它將推動核技術進步”。Recording Three23 What is the new study about?B【 解析】 錄音介紹了一項針對大約1000 名新西蘭孩子展開的新研究，探究了一個孩子自制力差是如何預示其成年

46、后健康狀況差、經濟困難甚至犯罪的。故選 B 項“孩子自制力與其未來成功的關系”。【干擾項排除】選項均為名詞短語，推測問題可能與主題相關。雖然這項新研究的調查對象是新西蘭的孩子，但錄音中沒有證據證明新西蘭的孩子自制力更好，故 A 項“為何新西蘭的孩子似乎有更好的自制力”屬過度推斷； C 項“單親家庭出來的孩子的健康問題”和 D 項 “孩子學業成績的決定性因素”都不是該研究的內容。24 What does the study seem to show?D【解析】錄音后段指出，該研究表明父母一代自制力差可能會給下一代帶來不利影響，因此 D 項“父母缺乏自制力對他們的孩子不利”正確。【干擾項排除】根據

47、選項關鍵詞children, parents 等可推測題目與父母、子女關系有關。女士提到，在 3到10歲有最差的自控力的孩子，在 30多歲的時候會有最多的健康問題， 他們更可能有犯罪記錄，并沒有提到A 項“單親家庭出來的孩子在 30 多歲會經歷一個困難期”和 B 項“有犯罪前科的人大部分來自單親家庭”； C 項“父母必須學著在孩子面前有自制力”在錄音中并未提及。25 What does Moffitt say is the good news from their study?A 【解析】錄音最后指出，Moffitt 帶來的好消息是父母或學校教育都可以幫助孩子養成好的自制力，故選 A 項“可通

48、過教育提高自制力”。【干擾項排除】根據選項關鍵詞Self-control, improve, detected, diminish等可推測題目與自制力的提高或解決有關。該研究認為自制力差可能導致人們成年后經濟狀況困難，但沒有表明自制力可以改善其經濟狀況，所以B 項“自制力可以改善人們的經濟狀況”屬于過度推斷； C 項“自制力問題在孩子小的時候就可被察覺”和 D 項“自制力問題隨著一個人的成 長而消失”在錄音中均未提及，屬無中生有。Section AConversation OneW: So Mike, you managed the innovation project at CucinTec

I really helped things turn around at CucinTech.W: Was the revival in their fortunes entirely due to strategic innovation?M: Yes, yes I think it was. CucinTech was a company who were very mu

50、ch following the pack, doing what everyone else was doing, and getting rapidly left behind.

I just have to harness that somehow.W: Was innovation at the core of the project?M: Absolutely.

53、ions sake and new products being created simply because the technology is there, the company culture must switch from these point-in-time innovations to a continuous pipeline of innovations from everywhere and everyone.W: How did you align strategies throughout the company?M: I soon became aware tha

54、t campaigning is useless. People take no notice. Simply it came about through good practice trickling down. This built consent people could see it was the best way to work.W: Does innovation on this scale really give a competitive advantage?M: I am certain of it. Absolutely. Especially if its diffic

55、ult for a competitor to copy. The risk is, of course, that innovation may frequently lead to imitation.W: But not if ifs strategic?M: Precisely!W: Thanks for talking to us.M: Sure.1 What seems to have been very successful according to the woman speaker?2 What did the company lack before the mans sch

Dana, welcome.W: Thank you.M: Now Id like to begin by saying that

57、 I have on occasions used an interpreter myself, as a foreign correspondent, so I am full of admiration for what you do.
