【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] (I): Um-hum. Now you mentioned something about maximizing your learning potential by learning about your own individual learning styles. Can you elaborate on that? (A): Sure. People often have different ways of learning and approach learning tasks differently. Now, our preferences are determined by many factors, for example, personality, culture and past experience. Basically there are three learning styles. The first type is called visual learning style. Visual learners prefer to see models of the patterns they are expected to learn; it is a learning style in which ideas, concepts, data and other information are associated with images and techniques. It is one of the three basic types of learning styles that also includes kinesthetic learning and auditory learning. Visual learners also prosper when shown graphs, graphic organizers, such as webs, concept maps and idea maps, plots, and illustrations such as stack plots and Venn plots, some of the techniques used in visual learning to enhance thinking and learning skills. Visual learners usually possess the qualities of having great instinctive direction and having the ability to easily visualize objects. (I): It really sounds complicated. Well then, how about the second type? (A): The second type is called auditory learning and auditory learners favor hearing instructions, for example, over reading them. Auditory learners may have a knack for ascertaining the true meaning of someone's words by listening to audible signals like changes in tone. When memorizing a phone number, an auditory learner will say it out loudly and then remember how it sounded to recall it. Auditory learners are good at writing responses to lectures they've heard. They're also good at oral exams, effectively by listening to information delivered orally, in lectures, speeches, and oral sessions. It is believed that when an auditory/verbal learner reads, it is almost impossible for the learner to comprehend anything without sound in the background. In these situations, listening to music or having different sounds in the background (TV, people talking, etc.) will help learners work better. (I): So, Dr. Adams, what is your learning style? (A): Well, I'm a very tactile learner. (I): You mean one who learns through hands-on experience? (A): Exactly. (I): So, how does knowing your learning style benefit you? (A): Well, this might seem a little unusual, but moving around while trying to learn and memorize material recite aloud vocabulary to the rhythm of the knife. But it is important to remember that often our learning styles are not singular in nature, but are often very multidimensional, and we tend to learn differently in different situations. Which of the following factors does NOT determine our preference in learning? 细节题。Adams博士提到Now, our preferences are determined by many factors, for example, personality, culture and past experience. 即学习方法的偏好取决于性格、文化和以往的经历,没有提到所受的教育。故选C。

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] Which of the following is NOT true about the visual learners? 细节题。讲座中提到不同的学习风格,有的人被称作视觉学习者,这类学习者倾向于看到需要学习的知识的模型示范,他们的认知习惯是把抽象概念与具体的图像联系起来帮助记忆,因而这类学习者的方向感和形象思维均不错。故选C。

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] Why does Dr. Adams say learning styles are not singular in nature? 推理题。Adams博士在脱口秀节目快结束时强调学习者的学习风格并不是单一的,而是多维的,因为学习是动态的,不同情况下人们会使用不同的学习方法,即:But it is important to remember that often our learning styles are not singular in nature, but are often very multidimensional, and we tend to learn differently in different situations. 故选D。
