【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Hey Mike, got a second? M: Sure, what's up? W: The company has offered me a new position. It's kind of a promotion. M: Congratulations! That's great! W: Well, yes...but the new position would require me to relocate...to our office in Denver, Colorado. I know you relocated here from Boston, so I wanted your advice. M: Sure. I went in the opposite direction, moving from the States to Asia, so it's quite a different situation. But I think the main thing you have to do is weigh the pros and cons. W: I don't even know where to start. One 'pro' is a higher salary. M: That's always a pro. But there's a whole bunch of other factors to consider. W: Such as? M: Well...consider how you get to work here. You take the subway, right? W: Of course. M: In Denver you would have to drive. Do you have any pets? W: Yeah...I have an adorable German Shepard puppy. M: It can be quite time consuming, expensive and difficult to ship pets abroad. W: So many 'cons.' M: No, no...there are some great 'pros' as well. When I moved here, I met all kinds of new people and I'm now, as you know, in a relationship with a wonderful woman I met here. W: That's a big pro. M: On a financial note, you'll probably be able to save a lot more of your salary and have more disposable income, as rents and living costs in that area are reasonable. W: Yes. From a financial standpoint relocating makes sense, but happiness is more important, right? M: Oh, absolutely. But Colorado is a beautiful state and you'll be able to enjoy the scenery there! W: Sounds good. It's just such a hard decision for me. There're so many 'unknowns.' M: Yeah, I also had mixed emotions when they first offered me this job. But I have a favorite quote by the poet John Berryman that helped me a lot. W: Which is? M: 'We must travel in the direction of our fear.' W: That's a great quotation. So let's say I'm leaning towards relocating. Got any practical tips? M: Yeah...do your homework. Get online and research where you're going. Learn about the history, geography, climate...etc. Then when you get there, you'll feel like you already know the place a bit. W: How long did it take you to settle into your new environment? M: I have to be honest. For the first 3 months I was pretty unhappy. I didn't like the food, couldn't figure out the subway system and, for me, Shanghai is a noisy place. But after the four month mark, I began to feel much better. W: Now how does it feel? You've been here for a full year, right? M: My one-year anniversary is next week, and I have to say, I've never been happier. W: Thanks for sharing your experiences with me, Mike. I really appreciate it. You helped me clarify my own feelings. M: Glad to be of help. Don't forget to invite me to your going away party! W: I won't! Where is she moving? 细节题。问题是女士要搬到哪里。谈话中女士说：“...the new position would require me to relocate...to our office in Denver, Colorado.”，所以正确答案为A。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文] What is the disadvantage of moving to Denver? 观点题。问题是搬到丹佛的不便之处。谈话中男士说：“In Denver you would have to drive.”而非像现在那样“take the subway”，所以选项A正确。而选项B关于宠物狗则是“It can be quite time consuming, expensive and difficult to ship pets abroad.”并非不能带，所以B错误，因此正确答案为A。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] According to the man, what should the woman do before moving? 观点题。问题是如果搬迁需要做什么准备工作。对话中男士建议说：“Yeah...do your homework. Get online and research where you're going. Learn about the history, geography, climate...etc.. Then when you get there, you'll feel like you already know the place a bit.”，所以答案为B。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] How long does it take for the man to settle into his new environment? 数字题。问题问的是男士花了多久适应新环境。谈话中男士说：“For the first 3 months I was pretty unhappy. I didn't like the food, couldn't figure out the subway system and, for me, Shanghai is a noisy place. But after the four month mark, I began to feel much better.”，由此可见，前三个月都不开心，过了四个月就适应了，所以B为正确答案。
