【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Hello, Carl! M: Hello, Cathy! How are you doing these days? W: I'm a little busy because I'm hunting for a job. M: Well, how is it going? W: I've been thinking about applying for a job in other states. Well, I've got several offers and I'd like your opinion about which would be the best one to go for. M: Where are the companies? W: One is in Los Angeles, one is in Detroit and the other one is in Atlanta City. M: Wow, Los Angeles is a very nice place. It offers many attractive visiting places, like mountains and beaches. W: Yes, it is, and the company is also located in a beautiful part. That would be great for the health. I'd love to be able to go skiing at weekends! But one problem with Los Angeles is that the cost of living would be very high. M: How does the salary of the job in Los Angeles compare with the other two jobs? W: It's a higher salary than the job in Detroit but lower than the one in Atlanta City. The Atlanta City job has the most responsibility. That would probably be the best job for me when it comes to career progression. Meanwhile, Atlanta City is the closest to New York City, so it would be easy to come back for weekends and holidays. M: That's right, and the regular transportation service would save quite a bit on fares. And do you know what the cultural facilities are like in these cities? W: In fact, they're quite good in all the three cities. But, of course, Los Angeles has an international reputation as a cultural center. What's more, you know, I am so crazy about movies, and Hollywood is just there. M: Well, that sounds fascinating. So how long would you want to go for? W: I hope it would be a maximum of five years and working across states will be good for my career! M: Well, it seems that you will either choose Atlanta City or Los Angeles. Atlanta City has the advantage of being closest to New York City, so coming home would be relatively easy and inexpensive. Los Angeles, on the other hand, sounds like the most interesting place from a cultural point of view. W: I agree with you. Personally, I favor Los Angeles because it is so fascinating. We both like skiing and we could go skiing at weekends in the winter. M: That would be great! How many offers does the woman get? 四个选项均为数字,由此可以判断该题考查的是与某个具体内容相关的数据,听音时注意记录与数字有关的信息。 对话中男士问及女士都有哪些工作机会,女士回答说:一个在洛杉矶,一个在底特律,另外一个在亚特兰大。由此可知,女士一共拥有三个工作机会,故选C。
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[听力原文] Which of the following is not the advantage of working in Atlanta? 四个选项均以It开头,分别陈述四个不同的正面事实。听音时需要把与选项中核心词相关的内容都记下来。 关于亚特兰大的工作优点,原文中提到That would probably be the best job for me when it comes to career progression. Meanwhile, Atlanta City is the closest to New York City, so it would be easy to come back for weekends and holidays. 由此可知,D项表述与原文不符,且下文男士又补充说the...service would save quit a bit on fares. 故选D。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] Why does the man think the woman may choose Atlanta? 四个选项均以Because开头,且选项中提到it is the closest to New York和there,由此可以推断该题考查选择某个地点的原因。 对话中男士说到他认为女士可以选择亚特兰大或者洛杉矶,随后进一步补充说到Atlanta City has the advantage of being closest to New York City, so coming home would be relatively easy and inexpensive,指出可以选择亚特兰大是因为它离纽约最近,因此回家比较容易且花费也不高,故选B。
