单选题 Where can she find the other printer?
[*]
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文]
F:Excuse me? I can't get my printer to work.Is there another printer I can use around here?
M:Yeah.There's one in the supply room,which is between the admin's office and the meeting room.
F:Thanks.Is the room number 2087?
M:No,it's 2088,2087 is the admin's office,and 2089 is the meeting room.
她在哪里能够找到另一台打印机?这道题综合考查对数字组合的敏感度和对信息的分析能力。对话中先后提到了三个房间一办公用品存放室(the supply room),管理人员办公室(the admin's office)以及会议室(the meeting room)。另一台打印机在办公用品存放室中,而这个房间位于管理人员办公室和会议室的中间。但是对话中的女士搞错了房间号,以为打印机在2087房间。于是对话中男士纠正她正确的房间号应该是2088,2087是管理人员办公室,2089是会议室。另外从办公用品存放室处于另外两个房间的中间也应该能够推断出房间号也应该是处于中间的数字。
单选题 How can she get the data?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M:The manager wants us to work on the data analysis together.She sent the data by email.Do you want me to copy it to you?
F:Well,I don't have a flash disk with me.
M:Should we have her send the email to you then?
F:No,I don't want to bother her right now.Can you just forward the email to me?
M:No problem.
她如何能够获得数据?要得到这道题的正确答案,首先需要熟悉对话中提到的几种数据传输方式:发送电子邮件(send email),复制(copy),转发邮件(forward the email)。经理已将数据通过电子邮件发给了那位男士,于是他问对话中的女士是否需要将数据复制(copy it to you)一份给她。但是女士回答说她没有带U盘(flash disk),于是这位男士又问需不需要经理再给她发一封邮件(haye her send the mail to you),这位女士回答不想再麻烦经理了(don't want to bother her),提出请这位男士将邮件转发给她(for-ward the email to me)。因此可以排除干扰项,选出正确的答案A。
单选题 When will the material be faxed?
[*]
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文]
F:Hello,this is Jane from the STAR Company.Is it ok if we fax the information on aftersale service to you.
M:Thank you,but our fax machine won't be working until around 3:00.Could you try to send that information at around 3:30,so that I can have time to look it over before I meet our manager at around 4:30.
何时传真材料?从问题中可以看出此题考查的是精确的时间。对话中的第一位说话人提出要将售后服务材料通过传真发过来,但是第二位说话人却对传真时间提出了特殊的要求。他提到了三个时间3:00,3:30和4:30,其中两项为干扰项。在听的时候要注意每个时间点相对应的事件。3:00传真机才开始工作,4:30与经理见面。发传真的时间应该是3:30,这样他既能在传真机工作后收到材料,又能有时间在见经理之前先看一遍。
单选题 How will the man review the report?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M:Barbara,I'd like to review your report on Zinbark Company before we send it.
F:Sure.Do you need a hard copy?
M:No.Could you just send me the path to the location of the report? I'll look it over on my computer.
F:Sure.I'll give you permission for the folder.You can find it at barbara01 slash Zinbark.
M:Great.Thanks.
他将如何审阅报告?第一位讲话人提出要看Barbara的报告,但是当Barbara问他是否需要纸介版(hard copy)的时候,他说不用,所以可以排除答案A。之后他说只要Barbara把报告所在的路径告诉他,他即可以在自己的电脑上看。于是Barbara给他访问文件夹的许可(give you permission for the folder),并告诉他文件夹的名称——barbara01/zinbark,于是他就能在自己的电脑上审阅报告了。
单选题 Why is the manager unhappy with Jack?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文]
F:Jack,This is the third time in the last two weeks.
M:Sorry,manager,last week,I had a lot of personal problems.And today there was an accident that held up traffic.
F:You'd better start anticipating all problems because I'm not going to tolerate your tardiness any longer.
经理为何对Jack不满?对话的一开始经理就提醒Jack这已经是他两周以来第三次迟到了。Jack便开始解释他这几次迟到的原因。上周因为有很多个人问题处理(personal problems),今天是因为有事故导致交通拥堵(an accident that held up traffic)。最后经理表明态度,再也不会容忍他再次迟到(not going to tolerate your tardiness any longer)。tardiness就是迟到、延误的意思。因此不难判断出经理对Jack的不满源于他时常迟到。
单选题 How much does the man need to pay for one room per night?
[*]
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M:Hello.Could you check if the Regency Hotel has any rooms?
F:Yes,they do.And the rate is 200 $per night.
M:Is there a discount rate if I have a VlP card?
F:Yes,there is.It's 10% off for cardholders.
这位先生每晚需要支付多少房费?这道题需要进行一些简单的计算。饭店的房价(rate)本来是200美元/晚,但是客人说他有贵宾卡是否能够享受折扣价(discount rate)。饭店的折扣标准是10%,所以他需要支付的费用是200-200×10%=180美元/晚。
单选题 What can't one wear in this company?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M:Oh,can I ask you some questions?
F:Sure.
M:Does this company have a casual Friday?
F:Not really.You can get away with wearing slacks,but I've never seen anyone wear jeans.
M:That'S all right.Thank you.
公司不允许什么样的着装?有些公司会对员工的着装作出一定的要求。比较严格的公司要求一律穿正装,有些公司没有那么严格,只要不穿牛仔服即可。还有一些公司星期一至星期四比较严格,星期五则可以休闲一些,所以叫做(casual Friday)。对话中的男士就是在询问这家公司的着装要求,星期五可不可以穿得休闲一些。女士回答可以穿休闲的长裤,但是从没有见过穿牛仔裤上班的,言下之意是牛仔裤是不能穿的。因此选择B。get away with意为“过得去;不会受到指责或惩罚”。slacks指的是休闲款的长裤,并非正式套装的裤子。
单选题 Which line chart is correct?
[*]
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M:If you have a look at this line chart,you can see that our sales topped 50 million in January. Then in February,it dropped to 30 million,and remained constant until the end of March.
哪一幅图表示正确的?根据说话人的描述,销售额在1月份的时候达到最高点(top)5,000万,2月份的时候下跌(drop)到3,000万,并一直持续(remain constant)到3月底。这道题的关键是理解top和remain constant的意思。top作为动词此处意为“达到最高点”,而remain constant的意思是“保持恒定,不变”。
