Where is Susan now?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析]
M: Do you know where Susan is? I've been phoning her for the past hour. I need to talk to her about public relations meeting.
W: Uh, she is usually at her desk in the morning. But, she had to go to the downtown office to clear up a problem. I'll tell her you need to see her as soon as she is back.
M: Ok, thanks.
本题考察but后内容。对于此类题目，往往but后内容会揭示答案的方向。原文中提到她上午通常是在座位上。因此强干扰选项为in her desk.但是女士的转折表述but she had to go to the downtown office(但是她去了城里的办公室)……为听音重点，选项C branch office“分公司的办公室”为downtown office的同义转述。故选C。

Which bar chart best describes the sale figures?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析]
We'd expected the sale figures be much higher than last year. And instead, they are rather similar which is pretty disappointing, still I suppose at least they won't be lower than last year. That's certainly relief.
图表题。考生在听前应根据图表内容进行充分的浏览区分。考生应该仔细区分三个选项中2000年和2001年销售额的不同图形走势。原文提到And in-stead，they are rather similar...关键词是similar，两年销售额相似。可排除B选项；原文又提到they won't lower than last year不比去年低。本题的关键是要听清楚similar，not lower than等表示比较的词汇，并对他们做出区分。故选C。

How many new jobs were created in January?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析]
Although the unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to a four-and-a-half year low of 4. 7% , fewer new jobs were created in January than expected. Analysts had forecast 230, 000, but in fact the final total came to 189, 000. The Labor Department said 130, 000 were generated in the previous month, up from an earlier figure of 116, 000.
本题考察点有两个方面分别为时间和but后内容。对于此类题目，要抓住表示时间的关键词和往往揭示答案的but后内容。难点在于原文提到若干干扰数字，例如Analysts had forecast 230,000；The Labor Department said 130，000... in the previous month，up from an earlier figure of 116,000。但是在听清关键词in Januar和but之后，听音重点即为but in fact the final total came t0 189,000. in fact表示事实上，故选B。
