【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] Thank you all for coming to my talk this evening. It's nice to see so many people in the audience. Building team spirit is always the focal point of what I have been trying to do as a manager. When I first went to Crystal Palace, football players would finish training and then go straight home. There was no atmosphere, so we brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When football players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere. The team spirit is very important, but I don't believe in trying to motivate the team as a team. I try to motivate them as individuals. So I don't give team talks. I speak to the players individually. And I try not to put too much pressure on them. I believe that football players perform best when they are relaxed. If they're too tense, I can guarantee they won't play well in a game. I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous; therefore, I very rarely interfere. I feet people should be judged on their results. If they prove incompetent, then I'm incompetent if I keep on employing them. It's like that with the team. I get criticized for not interfering during a game and making more substitutions. But I feel if I've chosen these eleven players to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it. If I'm dropping a player from the team, I don't feel I have to explain it to them. If they want to discuss it, I'll say 'Come back and talk about it in a couple of days' time.' But I don't try to re-motivate them. It's up to them to have the character to fight back. I'm a great believer that almost every: thing you achieve in life is down to your attitude. If I have a football player who is magnificently gifted but has a bad attitude, I won't waste my time on him. What is the focal point of the speaker's job? 演讲者在开头提到，构建团队精神(Building team spirit)是他担任球队经理所做工作的焦点，因此答案为C项“构建团队精神”，而且这也是整个讲座的主题。A项“招募球员”在讲话中并未提及。B项“担任经理一职”是他的职业，不是工作焦点。D项“踢足球”是他的球员的工作。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] According to the speaker, when do football players perform best? 在录音中间部分，演讲者提到“我不会给他们太多压力，因为我相信当足球运动员放松的时候，他们才能发挥得最好”，因此B项“他们放松时”为正确答案。A项“他们被激励时”，与录音中说到的“他一般不去过分激励球员”这一信息不符。C项“他们兴奋时”在讲话中未提及。D项“他们享受自主时”，演讲者是说他喜欢给球员自主，但这跟球员的发挥状态无关，因此排除D项。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] What does the speaker strongly believe? 演讲者最后提出“我坚信你人生中几乎所有的成就都取决于你的态度”这个观点，题目中的strongly believe即为录音中a great believer的同义表达，that后面的内容即为答案所在，D项“一个人的所有成都取决于他的态度”是该处录音信息的第三人称转述，故为答案。A项“不应该以结果来评价人”与演讲者的观点刚好相反。B项“团队精神对足球运动员不是很重要”与原文观点“团队精神很重要”相反。C项“一个有天赋但态度很差的球员值得保留”恰好与录音最后一句演讲者说的“不会浪费时间在那些虽有天赋但态度不端的球员身上”相矛盾。
