短对话听力解析

【总评】：8

个短对话总体来说比以往四级听力要难，但是考察水平令人叹服。题目的设置一改往年的模式化语境，更加委婉、微妙，贴近真实生活中的语境，选项并不是对原文的简单重现而是替换与推理。

1.

考点：推理判断

：A. The woman should go on playing chess。

本题的关键在于听懂反问语气。女士说因为又输了棋，所以打算放弃。男士没有正面回应，而是反问了一句：

“Is that any reason to quit?

这能算一个放弃的理由吗?”言下之意就是不该放弃。换句话说，男士就是建议女士继续好好继续下棋。

2.

考点：细节捕捉。

：D. Mary probably knows Sally’s newaddress。

本题的关键在于听到一句“Mary should know it。

”男士说自己手边有一堆Sally的信件需要寄给她，所以需要知道她的地址。女士说自己很久没跟Sally联系了，但是结尾说了一句：“Mary应该知道地址。”如果没有听出结尾一句的反转含义，本题很容易错选。

3.

考点：推理判断

：B. His notes are not easy to read。

本题的关键在于听懂反义疑问句。女士想要借笔记，男士说：“You’venr see my handwriting, he you?”“你从没看过我的笔迹吧?”言下之意，就是自己的笔记难以辨认。

4.

考点：推理判断

：D. The man had better choose anotherrestaurant。

本题的关键在于听懂否定语气。男士说我今晚要带女朋友去新开的漂亮饭店过生日。女士说我上周去过，太让我失望了。从

“rather disappointing”

可以听出女士的强烈否定语气，言下之意就是建议男士不要去这家饭馆了。

5.

考点：推理判断

：C. He has been looking forward tospring。

本题在于听懂期待语气。本题首先听到女士开头说的：“冬天终于结束了。”和男士结尾说：“我等了好几个月了啊。”有所期待才会愿意等待，显然是男士希望冬天快点结束，春天快点到来。

6.

考点：细节捕捉

：B. The man appreciates the woman’s 。

本题关键在于听懂感谢语气。男士说：“Many thanks forletting me use them。”(太感谢你让我看他们了。)thankMany thanks和选项中的appreciate为同义词。

7.

考点：细节捕捉

：B. Go to work on foot。

本题的关键在于捕捉否定词之后被突出的信息。男士提到的“walk towork”和选项中的Goon foot。

为同义表达。

8.

细节捕捉

：A. Temporary closing has disturbed the airport’soperation。

本题考察的是一组明显的因果关系，即什么导致了延误。男士提到今早机场关闭了一段时间了，而且仍然没恢复正常。“closedfor a while”与选项中的Temporaryclosing构成同义替换。

PassageThree

TheBritish are suped to be famous for laughing at themselves,

but n their sense of humour has alimit,——主旨对应推断题(25题)as the British retailer Gerald Ratner found out tohis cost。

When Ratner took over his father's chain of 130 jewelry shops in1984, he introduced a very clear company policy. He decided thathis shops should sell down market products at the lowest sibleprs. ——第22题It was a great success. The British public lovedhis cheapgold earrings and his tasess silver ornaments. By19, Ratner's company had 2,400 shops and it was worth over 680million pounds。

But in April of that year, Gerald Ratner made a big mistake. At abig meeting of top British businesspeople, he suited up andexplained the secret of hissuccess.——第23题

People say "How can we sellour goods for such a low pr?" I say "Because they are absoluterubbish." His audience roared with laughter. But the Britishnewss and the British public were not so amused。

People felt insulted and stayed away from Ratner'sshops。

——第24题Sales fell and 6 months after his speech, Ratner'sshare pr had fallen by 42%. The following year, things got worseand Gerald Ratner was forced to resign. By the end of 1992, he losthis company, his career and his house. Even worse, 25,000 of hisemployees had lost their jobs。

Q24 Howdid people feel when they leaned of Gerald Ratner'sremarks?

：D)Insulted。

Q25 Whatdoes the story of Gerald Ratner suggest?

：B) There should be alimit to one's sense of humour。

点评：短文是听力选择题部分最难的;话题难，词汇难，要听懂就更难。但是如果学会给短文文类之后有重点的去听录音，重点就会更突出，就更容易捕捉。如一篇短文是人物故事类，故事的主人翁叫：Gerald Ratner，讲了发生在他身上的故事。既然是故事就应该学会把握时间脉络。我相信各位同学见了老师的分析之后应该非常明显的看到了原文中的一般都紧跟在时间词之后。故事类的文章喜欢出推断题，推断故事想传递的道理是什么，而这个道理其实一般出现在首句——主旨，就是主旨的改写而已。

Section C

Looking atthe basic biological s, the world is not doing very well.Yet, economic indicators show the world is prospering.Despite a slow start at the beginning of the 80s, global economicoutput increased by more than a fifth during the decade. Theeconomy grew, trade increased, and millions of new jobs werecreated. How can biological indicators show the opite ofeconomic indicators? The answer is that the economic indicatorshe a basic fault. They show no difference between resource usesthat sustain progress and those uses that will hurt it. Themain measure of economic progress is the Gross National Products --GNP. In terms, this totals the value of all goods andservs produced and subtracts loss in value of factories andequipment. Dloped a half century ago, GNP ed establish a common way among countries of measuring changein economic output. For some time, this seemed to work reasonably well, but serious weaknesses are now appearing.As indicated earlier, GNP includes loss in value of factories andequipment, but it does not take into account the loss ofnatural resources, including non-renewable resources, such as oil,or renewable resources, such as forests. This basic fault canproduce a misleading sense of national

复合式听写：

26.prospering

27.decade

28.opite

29.sustain

30. In terms

31.establish

32.reasonably

33.take into account

34.misleading

35.using up

点评 ：复合式听写看似难，很多同学的软肋就是不会拼写单词。但实际上复合式听写的单词却是有规律的，譬如：opite这个单词实际上曾今出现在2013年12月听力真题10题的A选项中，而2014年6月的复合式听写也考过这个单词。今年的词汇难度也并不大，如decade、account、opite这些单词都曾出现在老师给大家的复习资料中。在发音上比较难识别的一个单词是sustain，很多同学可能会听成six。但是数词不是我们复合式听写的考察范畴。所以考听力最重要的还是要对单词的发音熟悉，自己在复习时就应该争取吧

[19] Today many large corporations stress the importanc e of diversity on their websites, but current statistics sho w that the topical mar in America still tends to be w hite and male. Obviously, the desire to bring about diver sity has not translated into corporate reality. Why is thi s? [20] A team of「esearchers from the university of Basi I published their new sfudy about people's atiTEiides tow ards diversity at work. [21J They found that people he a wide range of opinions ccncerrirg diversity On the on e hand, many see value in diversity, which can contribut e a variety ot perspectives, encourage new ideas, and ge nerate innovative solutions. On the other hand, they assu me that it might be difficult to work with someone who h as compley different views, speaks a different languag e or has a different style of work. The actual value they a ttribute to diversity depends on the decision- per spective. Doubts about the practicability of diversity n e a greater weight. If a person is directly affected, in oth er words, when a persons own work group is involved, t hey tend to prefer team members who are similar to the mselves. But when people make decisions for others, the y typically put toger a more diverse team. These findi ngs could organizations become more diverse. Com panies need to pay attention to who makes hiring and te am decisions. These decisions should not only be made by those directly affected. People who are not directly in volved in the group s daily work should also take part.
