【答案解析】[听力原文] 1-10 David Beckham has admitted that he suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The footballer has spoken for the first time of his addiction to rearranging hotel rooms and lining up cans of soft drinks to make "everything perfect". In a television interview to be screened before the World Cup this summer, Beckham says he has tried to break his cycle of repetitive behavior but cannot stop. OCD, as it is known, affects one in 60 people in Britain, ranging from mild traits to a debilitating dependency on rituals of cleanliness, symmetry or other issues. "I've got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line or everything has to be in pairs," Beckham said in the interview. "I'll put my Pepsi cans in the fridge and if there's one too many then I'll put it in another cupboard somewhere." I'll go into a hotel room and before I can relax, I have to move all the leaflets and all the books and put them in a drawer. "Everything has to be perfect." Asked if he wanted to stop his obsessive behavior, he said: "I would like to. I've tried and can't stop." Beckham admitted he was also addicted to having tattoos, partly because he enjoys the pain. The England captain said that his wife, Victoria, calls him a "weirdo" because of his condition. Newspapers have delighted in stories of Beckham's eccentric behavior, with reports that he wears white clothes to match his furniture, buys 30 pairs of identical Calvin Klein underpants every fortnight and insists on lining up his shirts according to color. Mrs. Beckham, who has revealed her husband's inner secrets before, recently told one interviewer: "He's got that obsessive compulsive thing where everything has to match. If you open our fridge, it's all coordinated down either side. We've got three fridges --food in one, salad in another and drinks in the third. In the drinks one, everything is symmetrical. If there are three cans, he'll throw one away because it has to be an even number." Beckham said that his teammates at Real Madrid were unaware of his condition, but that players at his former club, Manchester United, would deliberately rearrange his clothes in hotel rooms or move magazines around to make them "wonky" to infuriate him. Beckham is not the first footballer to admit to suffering from OCD, which is estimated to affect more than two million people at some point in their lives. The former England star Paul Gascoigne said last year that he was obsessed with cleanliness and needed help for the condition. Other famous sufferers include the actor Billy Bob Thornton, who has spoken of having to repeat words and count up to particular numbers, and the singer Natalie Appleton, who is obsessed with cleanliness and broke down in tears when she had to touch a tree on the reality show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. A spokesman for the charity OCD UK said: "There is still a lot of stigma about the condition and even GPs (General Practitioners) are not very good at picking up on it. "Young men in particular are often reluctant to come forward and ask for treatment, so to have someone like David Beckham come out and talk about it is very good."

【答案解析】[解题思路] 本文的题材是名人轶事，英国足球明星贝克汉姆患上了一种“被迫强制失常症”，即文章开篇就明确提出的Obsessive Compulsive Disorder，材料后面行文简称为OCD。贝克汉姆在接受采访时表示，首次发现自己犯病是在一次居住酒店时，他重新排列饮料瓶，随后发现自己要让所有物品都成双成对地排列成直线，甚至连颜色都要搭配匀称。媒体热衷于报道这位著名球星的怪异行为，而其妻子维多利亚也在媒体前对其丈夫的病征直言不讳。这种病的患者不乏其他名人，包括球星和演艺明星等。专业人士则谈到，一般医生很难诊断病人患了OCD，而许多年轻患者不愿意因为患了OCD而向医生求助，因此，贝克汉姆能够大胆承认自己有OCD是非常有榜样意义的。 [典型试题解析] 这一类文章比起时事外交等文章来说，更加贴近生活也更加有趣。考生可以采取带着“好奇心” 去听的心态，就像我们阅读报纸上的娱乐新闻一样。当听到文章开篇提到贝克汉姆患了OCD的时候，考生应该预测接下来是讲述其患病的细节，无论是出于他本人之口，还是来自于他的家人和朋友。例如，第4题和第5题是考查对贝克汉姆患了OCD的细节。而报道最后通常都会倾向于提到“同类事件”以及OCD在整个社会的渗入程度，例如，第 7题到第10题都是考查OCD在英国社会的现状。
