【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[听力原文] You dream about being a movie star. You'll live in a big house in Hollywood, go to the Oscars every year—and win! You'll be rich and famous. Wait a minute. You also hate having your photo taken, and you're very shy. So how could you ever become a movie star? Choosing the right career can be hard. Many people graduate from school or college, not knowing what to do with their lives, and get a job without really thinking about it. For some, things work out fine, but others often find themselves stuck in a job they hate. Your working life lasts an average of forty years, so it's important to find a job you like and feel enthusiastic about. Luckily, there are many ways you can get help to do this. The Australian website, www.careersonline.com, compares choosing a career with going to the movies. Before you see a movie, you find out what films are showing. The site suggests you should do the same with your career—find out what jobs are available and what your options are. Next, decide which movie you like best. If you're not a romantic person, you won't want to see a love story. In other words, with your career, you should decide which job will suit your personality. Finally, decide how to get movie tickets, and find out where the theater is before you go. With your career, you need to find information about where you can work, and how to get a job in that profession. So, how do you start? Begin by asking yourself some questions. Some jobs require you to have certain life experiences: Have you traveled overseas? Do you have any extra certificates besides your degree, such as a first aid license, for example? Your physical state and build can also affect which jobs you can do. A person, for example, who is allergic to cats would probably never become an animal doctor. Flight attendants, firefighters, and police officers have to be over a certain height, and be physically fit. Your personality matters, too. Are you outgoing or shy? If you like working alone, a job that requires lots of teamwork might not suit you. Choosing a career can take time and a lot of thought. However, when you know you can look forward to working in your dream job, you'll be glad you thought it through. Q: What does the speaker say about many college graduates? 解题思路:四项的主语都是they,且都提到了与工作相关的表达(working, job),描述的内容与they找工作或工作情况有关。听录音时要听清they的指代对象,注意与各选项信息相关的内容。 本题问,关于很多大学毕业生,讲话者说了什么。录音开头部分指出,选择合适的职业并非易事。然后讲话者举了大学毕业生的例子:很多人在高中或大学毕业时,没经过认真思考就找到一份工作。选项D的说法与此一致,故为正确答案。选项A和C的说法与原文不符,选项B在原文中没有提及。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] Q: What does the Australian website suggest you do first to find a suitable job? 解题思路:四项均以动词原形开头,都是带有祈使语气的句子。其中三项提到job,内容都与找工作有关。本题很可能考查找工作的方式。 题目问录音中提到的那家澳大利亚网站对人们找工作提出的建议。录音中提到,一家澳大利亚网站建议我们把找工作比作去看电影,既要查明哪些职位是空缺的,还要明确自己的职业选择是什么。这与选项B的说法一致,该项是原文重现,故为正确答案。选项A和D在原文中没有提及,选项C是对原文的曲解,故都可排除。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文] Q: What should you think about when you look for the right job, according to the Australian website? 解题思路:四项都是名词短语,两项内容与工作条件或环境有关。听录音时要注意听与各选项关键信息(qualifications, pay, culture, work environment)有关的内容。 本题问录音中提及的那家澳大利亚网站建议人们在找工作时应考虑什么。在录音最后部分,讲话者具体指出了这家网站对人们找工作提出的建议:首先,问自己几个问题。其中一个问题就是,除了学位证书,你还有任何其他诸如急救证书这类的证书吗?也就是说,这家网站建议,我们在找工作时,应考虑自己有哪些资格证书。故选A。之后录音还提到了身体状况、身高和性格等方面的建议,但B、C、D三项均未提及,故排除。
