Conversation One
M: So, how long have you been a Market Research Consultant?
W: Well, I started straight after finishing university.
M: Did you study market research?
W: Yeah, and it really helped me to get into the industry, but I have to say that it's more important to get experience in different types of market research to find out exactly what you're interested in.
M: So what are you interested in?
W: Well, at the moment, I specialize in quantitative advertising research , which means that I do two types of projects. Trackers, which are ongoing projects that look at trends or customer satisfaction over a long period of time . The only problem with trackers is that it takes up a lot of your time. But you do build up a good relationship with the client. I also do a couple of ad-hoc jobs which are much shorter projects.
M: What exactly do you mean by ad-hoc jobs?
W: It's basically when companies need quick answers to their questions about their consumers' habits. They just ask for one questionnaire to be sent out, for example, so the time you spend on an ad-hoc project tends to be fairly short.
M: Which do you prefer, trackers or ad-hoc?
W: I like doing both and in fact I need to do both at the same time to keep me from going crazy. I need the variety.
M: Can you just explain what process you go through with a new client?
W: Well, together we decide on the methodology and the objectives of the research. I then design a questionnaire. Once the interviewers have been briefed, I send the client a schedule and then they get back to me with deadlines. Once the final charts and tables are ready, I have to check them and organize a presentation.
M: Hmm. One last question, what do you like and dislike about your job?
W: As I said, variety is important and as for what I don't like, it has to be the checking of charts and tables.
Q1:What position does the woman hold in the company?
四项均为名词短语,均与工作职位相关,且两项提及市场方面的工作(marketing manager, market research consultant)。推测该题以what进行提问,可能是对某人的职位进行考查,涉及市场工作。听音时,应重点关注与工作或职位相关的内容,同时留意与四个选项提到的职位相关的信息。
在对话一开始,男士就问女士做市场研究顾问多长时间了,女士说自己从大学一毕业就开始做这一行。由此可知,女士在公司担任的职位是市场研究顾问,选项D为正确答案。market research consultant是原词复现。其他三项对话中均未提及,都可排除。

Q2:What does the woman specialize in at the moment?
四项均为名词短语,内容均与某项具体工作相关,其中两项提到了表示研究的词语(research)。推测该题也是以what开头进行提问,可能考查某人所做的具体工作,涉及某项研究。听音时应重点关注与研究相关的工作。
在对话中,当女士谈到自己的专业时,她说所学的专业帮助自己进入市场研究顾问这一行业,但是对她来说,在不同类型的市场研究中获取经验从而弄清楚自己真正的兴趣所在是更为重要的,男士接着问女士对什么感兴趣,女士回答说自己目前专业从事量化广告研究方面的工作。由此可知,选项A为正确答案。B、C两项对话中虽都有提及,但都是女士所做工作的具体细节;对话中提及了采访者在采访之前会了解基本情况,但没有提及培训,故D项不符合对话内容。

Q3:What does the woman say about trackers?
四项均以they开头,其中两项提到了表示研究的词语(studies,study),两项提到了顾客(customers,customer),一项提到了人们的消费习惯(people's spending habits)。该题考查的内容可能与对顾客消费习惯的研究有关。听音时,应先弄清楚they的指代对象,同时关注与研究、顾客和消费习惯有关的内容,并将重点放在各个选项的关键词上,然后根据问题作出进一步的判断。
在对话中,女士在回答男士自己对什么感兴趣时提到,自己目前专业从事量化广告研究,也就是在做两种类型的项目。一种是跟踪研究,针对进展中的项目,长期观察其发展趋势或顾客的满意度。由此可知,选项D为正确答案。其他三项对话中均未提及,都可排除。
