WhywasthewomanabletogiveLarrysomuchinformationaboutthejob?

选项B、C、D都涉及到“她”的工作，听音时应留意。女士在第二个话轮

就说到：“我了解那个工作，我两年前做过因此选C。女士相应的话语内容存

在因果关系，Iknowallaboutthatjob.（As）Ididittwoyearsago.其实这也是一种

特殊的语义点，话语内容虽然简单，但是逻辑关系很严密。

对话开头女士就说到，“我看见你午餐正在吃鱼”，后面女士又说到男士吃的

鱼是冰冻鱼，男士回答说，学校餐厅买不起新鲜鱼，当然是冰冻鱼了。可推测，

对话在学校餐厅中进行，故选C。

Whatcanbelearnedaboutlipstickfromthispassage?

这篇短文一头一尾都提到protectthelipsfromdrying,也就是强调它的保湿

功能，C是其同义表达，故为答案。A错在modern,短文提到给嘴唇上色不是一

录音开头提到，很多学校都会开设音乐艺术课,给学生一个全面发展的教育。

一项新研究发现，音乐艺术课不仅仅让学生学会欣赏艺术还能给他们带来更多的

好处。A项”除艺术欣赏外，音乐艺术课可能使学生受益更多”是原文的同义转

述。录音后文提到学习音乐艺术课可以极大地促进学生的阅读能力，尤其是增强

掌握数学的能力，B项“不能促进孩子的阅读能力”和C项“可能极大地增强孩

子的电脑掌握程度”与上述内容相矛盾或不相符；后文还提到一年级的学生在选

修了音乐艺术课后，阅读上的后进生开始跟上班级的阅读平均水平，尤其在数学

上表现更好，因此D项“对一、二年级学生来说艺术课影响甚微”不正确。

Whatdoesthelecturermeanbysaying"playcanstimulateyoutothink

differently"?

讲座一开头就提到玩耍在人出生到死亡的过程中很重要，接着讲到玩耍的四

大好处，这也是讲座的主题。首先提到的是玩耍可以促使我们换一种思维思考

(playcanstimulateyoutothinkdifferently),接着马上解释玩耍可以违背所有的规

则，改变做事情的老套无聊方式，由此可知B为正确答案。A项“玩耍可以让我

们有机会发现自己内心的童真”在讲座提及，但不能解释转换思维的含义，故不

选：C项“玩耍可以给我们带来更大的成就感”是玩耍的四大好处之一，与转换

思维并列，故不迭：D项“玩耍是基本本能”在后文提到时是为了说明玩耍在解

压上的重要性，故也排除。
