单选题 In his current job, Daniel has to
  • A. see if certain work has been finished.
  • B. assemble parts of a machine.
  • C. help people progress in their careers
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 23-30
F: Well, Daniel, perhaps we could begin by discussing your current job?
M: Yes, of course. I'm working as a Progress Chaser at Hawkin's Diesels at the moment.
F: What exactly does that involve?
M: Basically, it means I have to check on the progress of various jobs as they move through the factory, to see which parts have been made, where they are in the assembly process and whether there are any problems.
F: And you're based in the factory itself?
M: Not on the factory floor, no. I'm in the main office block, I work right next door to the Sales Department. But I have to visit the production area to talk to staff from time to time.
F: So the progress of work is checked directly by you.
M: Not exactly. When I took the job it was like that, but now we have a computer system which holds all the production information. That's updated by the staff at each stage of the process.
F: That must make the job easier.
M: In some ways, yes. I can monitor the movement of products quickly and it keeps me better informed about the situation in the factory as a whole. On the other hand, if production staff forget to enter data into their computer, things can go wrong without me knowing and problems aren't dealt with immediately.
F: What's the most common problem you have to deal with?
M: The thing that annoys me most is when people make stupid mistakes-mistakes which could be avoided. But, thankfully, that's quite rare. The most frequent difficulty we have is when we have a lot of parts ready for processing, and one of the machines goes wrong.
F: Right, OK. Now the job you're applying for, Customer Relations Manager, is quite a shift from what you're doing now. Why does it interest you?
M: Essentially, because it's primarily about dealing with people. In some ways it's very different as you're not a production company and many of your customer problems are going to be new to me. Similarly, the technical skills I've acquired will be less important. However, in a customer service role like this, I think the skills I've acquired in dealing with a whole range of difficulties and complaints will be very valuable.
F: Does that mean you see yourself primarily as a caring type of person?
M: Well I've always tried to be aware of other people's problems but, as an employee, I actually see myself as more of a co-operator, the sort of person who works well with others. I feel I need to develop my leadership skills more, but that's something l can work on in the future.
F: Well. Now other any questions you may want to ask?
M: Yes, of course. What is exactly the salary situation?
F: During the probationary period which lasts three months, your salary is 2, 000 pounds. After the probationary period there will be salary increasing 500 pounds.
M: That sounds good.
F: Do you have any other questions before we finish?
M: Well, oh, one other thing, when can I get your feedback?
F: We'll call you in a week from now, if that's OK. Anything else?
M: No, that would be all.
F: In that case, I think the interview is over. You'll be hearing from me soon.

由current job可以判断What exactly does that involve后面的内容会包含本题的答案,但是需要考生去归纳总结后面提到的内容,Daniel谈到他的工作是“…check on the progress of various jobs as they move through the factory-see which parts have been made, where they are in the assembly process and whether there are any problems,”23题A选项中的see if(看看是否)是原文check on的同义转换,考生经过对该部分的概括总结得出的答案,即为A选项看看某些工作是否被完成。
单选题 Most of the time, Daniel works in
  • A. the Sales Department.
  • B. the main office block.
  • C. the production area.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】对话中提到的based in是问题中的works in的同义转换,所以可以判断对话中And you're based in the factory itself?后面的内容会包含本题的答案the main office block。
单选题 What improvement does Daniel say computers have made?
  • A. Problems are dealt with immediately.
  • B. Production staff have less to do.
  • C. More detailed information is available.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】but now we have a computer system是话题转换的提示词,此时考生要密切关注下一题的答案,因为25题的关键词就是computer system。根据原文中条件状语从句的使用,if production staff forget to enter data into their computer,... and problems aren't dealt with immediately可知答案为A。B和C选项原文都没有提到。

  • A. human error.

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】

【答案解析】Now the job you're applying for,是话题转换的提示词,考生可关注下一问题答案。另外,考生要注意这里的However是一个提示词,通常however后面的内容才是重点强调的内容,由However,...I think the skills I've acquired in dealing with a whole range of difficulties and complaints will be very valuable.可以得出答案:problem-solving skills.考察考生的归纳能力和语义转换能力。
单选题 Daniel regards himself as
  • A. a natural leader.
  • B. a good team member.
  • C. a sensitive person.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】该题的关键信息是Daneil认为自己是……所以可知Daneil所说的话应该为听音重点。myself应该是提示词,所以考生听到这个词后就要关注备选答案。另外这里也出现了提示词but,所以but引出的myself所在的句子即为答案所在。这里要注意的是考生要将a co-operator person和who works well with others要转化成a good team member。
单选题 What is the salary after the probationary period?
  • A. 500 pounds
  • B. 2000 dollars
  • C. 2500 pounds
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】What exactly the salary situation?可以提示一个说话人提出问题,这表示进入了新的话题,也要求考生关注下一个问题。另外根据29题问题内容可知提示词是After the probationary,所以考生听到这个此后就要关注备选答案。对话中提到,实习期间是2000英镑,实习结束之后会增加500磅。这里要求考生将两句话结合起来听,不要遗漏重要信息increase(增加),所以答案为2000磅再加上500磅,2500磅。
单选题 When did the interviewer say the interviewee will be getting his feedback?
  • A. in a week from the interview
  • B. in two weeks time
  • C. in a month from the interview
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】提示词是feedback,根据对话中问题when can I get your feedback?可知答案即为该问题回答We'll call you a week from now,if that's ok.
