注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
Passage One
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
篇章类题目还是需要关注文章开头3句和结尾3句,这两处是最易出题并且喜欢以原文出现答案。26题,开篇第一句就出示了答案:“Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers”;30题第二句:“If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager.”,后面还有几句在继续说这个问题,如果这句没听出来,可根据后面的意思也能猜测出答案,如:“Be polite. Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere.”;33题开头第三句:“before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government.”。另外,篇章1将近结尾处出现“Half of our managers are women.”既是28题答案。篇章2结尾处也出现了“Be business-like and stick to the point. Don’t spend a paragraph on how your Uncle Joe tried to fix the problem and couldn’t”作者亦指出投诉要抓住要点,不要长篇大论。
“听到什么选什么原则”除了上面的26、28、30、32、33之外,篇章2出现“You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you can not see, so you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting”,31题答案几乎原文出现;篇章3中段也同样出现了”If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week”,所以34题正确答案“Do some volunteer work”。另外,35题原文中“not think…..can replace”被“is no replacement for…”替换。
整体篇章类没有特别较难的题目,难度自passage one 依次递减。三篇文章内容虽然有趣,但是做题游刃有余还是不容易,passage one 是三篇中较难的一篇,但是由于篇头篇尾规矩的以原文出现答案,降低了题目的难度。后两篇比较贴近生活,边听边看,确定哪个选项能够最大程度的吻合。
