Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. A) To make a business report to the woman. | A) 向女士作工作报告。 |
B) To be interviewed for a job in the woman's company. | B) 到女士所在公司进行工作面试。 |
C) To resign from his position in the woman's company. | C) 从女士所在公司辞职。 |
D) To exchange stock market information with the woman. | D) 与女士交换股市信息。 |
【解题核心】选项均为不定式表明本题很可能是关于某事的目的。而选项内容都是关于男士与女士之间的活动，可推测本题很可能是询问男士来访目的，一般在对话开始就会交代。
【正确项分析】对话开始部分女士开门见山对男士说她已经收到他的简历了，随后问他为什么钟情于她公司，由此可轻而易举推断出男士是接受面试的，故选择B项。
【干扰项分析】男士还没有成为女士公司的正式员工，选项A中所说的男士向女士作报告也就无从谈起。选项C提到男士是来辞职的，恰恰与对话内容相反。选项D无中生有。
20. A) He is head of a small trading company. | A) 他是一家小贸易公司的领导。 |
B) He works in an international insurance company. | B) 他在一家国际保险公司工作。 |
C) He leads a team of brokers in a big company. | C) 他在一家大公司工作，管理一个经纪人团队。 |
D) He is a public relations officer in a small company. | D) 他是一小公司公共关系部的职员。 |
【解题核心】选项表明本题很可能是考查男士目前的工作。选项B、C、D均表示他在为其他公司工作，A选项则是说男士自己经营一家小的贸易公司，与"男士申请女士公司的工作"这一主题不符，故可初步排除。
【正确项分析】原文中男士所做的回答"I'm currently working in a large international company in charge of a team of 8 brokers."与选项C内容相符。
【干扰项分析】选项A和D最明显的错误在于small，听音时应注意辨别男士是在"大公司"还是在"小公司"工作，通过这一点便可排除两个干扰选项。选项B错在男士工作地点是一家涉及股市交易的公司，而非保险公司。
21. A) The woman thinks Mr. Saunders is asking for more than they can offer. | A) 女士认为桑德斯先生的要求超出了她们的底线。 |
B) Mr. Saunders will share one third of the woman's responsibilities. | B) 桑德斯先生将分担女士三分之一的工作责任。 |
C) Mr. Saunders believes that he deserves more paid vacations. | C) 桑德斯先生认为他理应得到更多的带薪休假。 |
D) The woman seems to be satisfied with Mr. Saunders' past experience. | D) 女士似乎对桑德斯先生的经历很满意。 |
【解题核心】选项A、D是女士对男士的看法，选项C则是男士对工作条件的看法，故本题很可能与面试的结果有关。B选项与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。A选项表示女士对男士不太满意，D选项则表示女士对男士很满意，二者意思相反，故很可能有一个为答案。听音时应重点留意女士的态度。
【正确项分析】对话中女士一句"你也许就是我们一直在找的人"足以证明女士对男士是比较满意的，与选项D相符。
【干扰项分析】对话后半部分在谈论待遇问题，并没有消极情绪，所以选项A不符。选项B中提到男士将负责三分之一的业务，而非分担女士三分之一的职责。对话中女士提到在工作第一年就有两周的带薪假期，男士并没有对此发表任何评论，故选项C错误。
【原文及译文】
W: Please have a seat, Mr. Saunders. I received your job resume last week, and it was very impressive.
M: Thank you!
W: We are a small financial company trading mostly stocks and bonds. May I ask why you are so interested in working for us?
M: Your company has an impressive reputation and I've always wanted to work for a smaller company.
W: That's good to hear. Would you mind telling me a little bit about your present job?
M: I'm currently working in a large international company in charge of a team of 8 brokers. We buy and sell stocks for major clients worldwide.
W: Why do you think you are the right candidate for this position?
M: As a head broker, I have a lot of experiences in the stock market. I deal with the clients on the daily bases, and I enjoy working with people.
W: Well, you might just be the person we've been looking for. Do you have any questions?
M: Aha, if I were hired, how many accounts would I be handling?
W: You will be working with two other head brokers, in another word, you will be handling about a third of our clients.
M: And who would I report to?
W: Directly to me.
M: I see. What kind of benefits package do you offer?
W: Two weeks of paid vacation in your first year employment. You are also entitled to medical and dental insurance, but this is something you should discuss with our Personnel Department. Do you have any other questions?
M: No, not at the moment.
W: Well, I have to discuss your application with my colleagues and we'll get back to you early next week.
M: Ok, thanks. It's been nice meeting you!
W: Nice meeting you too! And thanks for coming in today.

21. What can we conclude from the conversation?
女士：请坐，桑德斯先生。我上周收到了你的工作履历，它给我留下了深刻的印象。
男士：谢谢!
女士：我们是一家小型金融公司，主要从事股票和证券交易。我可以冒昧地问一下，你为什么对我们公司这么感兴趣呢?
男士：你的公司声誉很好，我一直想在规模较小的公司工作。
女士：很高兴听到你这么说。你不介意给我介绍一下你现在的工作吧?
男士：我现在在一个大型国际公司工作，管理一支由8名经纪人组成的团队。我们为全球大户买卖股票。
女士：为什么你认为你就是这个职位的最佳人选吗?
男士：作为一名首席经纪人，我有股票市场操作方面很多经验；我几乎每日都要与客户打交道，并且我喜欢和人打交道。
女士：嗯，你可能就是我们要找的人。还有什么问题吗?
男士：啊哈，如果我被雇用，我将会管理几个帐号?
女士：你将与另外两名首席经纪人一起工作，换句话说，你将会管理大约三分之一的客户。
男士：我应向谁汇报工作?
女士：直接向我。
男士：我明白了。公司能提供什么样的福利?
女士：工作第一年有两周的带薪假期，享有医疗和牙科保险，但你得与我们的人力资源部商议此事。还有其他问题吗?
男士：现在没有了。
女士：嗯，就你的工作申请，我还需要跟同事商量。我们下周初给你答复。

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. A) She's worried about the seminar. | A) 她在为研讨会担心。 |
B) The man keeps interrupting her. | B) 男士总打扰她。 |
C) She finds it too hard. | C) 她觉得太难。 |
D) She lacks interest in it. | D) 她对书不感兴趣。 |
【解题核心】本题为原因推断题。由选项中的seminar及其course, major等词可推测本题中it应该与某一课程有关。B选项与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。
【正确项分析】男士用否定疑问句问及女士是否对书不感兴趣时，女士坦白地讲到"No, not really."即"不感兴趣"。与选项D一致。
【干扰项分析】原文虽提及seminar，但意在表示若不是为了研讨会，她不会看书的。与选项A不符。选项B、C可能是原因，但文中并没有表明，主要原因应为缺乏兴趣。
23. A) The lecturers are boring. | A) 讲座太枯燥。 |
B) The course is poorly designed. | B) 课程设置不好。 |
C) She prefers Philosophy to English. | C) 比起英语她更喜欢哲学。 |
D) She enjoys literature more. | D) 她更喜欢文学。 |
【解题核心】选项中boring，poorly designed与prefer，enjoy表明本题很可能是关于卡伦对该课程缺乏兴趣的原因有关。问题应该是卡伦主观方面的原因引起的。因此本题的答案应主要在选项C和选项D之间选择，重点辨别卡伦是更喜欢philosophy还是更喜欢literature。
【正确项分析】听力原文中，女士明确提到"I want to do philosophy rather than English"，与选项C相符。
【干扰项分析】听力原文中提到course与lecture，但选项A、B与原文都不符合。选项C和选项D存在矛盾关系，即语义上互相矛盾，两者不能同时为真命题。选项C正确，则选项D排除。此外，文中并没有提及文学，也可排除选项D。
24. A) Karen's friend. | A) 卡伦的朋友。 |
B) Karen's parents. | B) 卡伦的父母。 |
C) Karen's lecturers. | C) 卡伦的老师。 |
D) Karen's herself. | D) 卡伦自己。 |
【解题核心】当选项是人、名词短语、时间、地点等非句子结构时，应该边听边记与各选项有关的信息。选项均为人物角色表明本题是针对"who"进行提问。联系对话主题，本题很可能与影响卡伦对课程或专业的喜好或选择的人有关。听音时注意辨认选项中的关键词。
【正确项分析】卡伦最后一番话是在评论自己的父母，其中她提到他们认为她如果学哲学的话"job prospects"会比较"limited"，这与题干中的"limited opportunity"相符。
25. A) Changing her major. | A) 换专业。 |
B) Spending less of her parents' money. | B) 少花父母的钱。 |
C) Getting transferred to the English Department. | C) 转到英语系。 |
D) Leaving the university. | D) 退学。 |
【解题核心】选项均为现在分词表明本题为考查"行为活动"类型。B选项与对其他选项均无关系，故可初步排除。D选项是说要退出大学，而根据对主题的分析，对话主要涉及的是专业问题，没有提到要退学的问题，故本题答案更可能在选项A和C之间选择。
【正确项分析】对话中多次透露女士想换专业。她想学哲学，但耐不住父母的劝说，她选择了英语，这使她学得不开心。所以她一直想要的就是A选项，换专业。
【干扰项分析】虽然选项A、C都有"换专业"的意思，但女士现在是英语专业，不存在选项C中的"转入英语系"的问题。选项B在对话中没有提及。对话中最后说的是"退出英语系"而不是选项D所说的退学。
【原文及译文】
M: Hey, Karen, you are not really reading it, are you?
W: Pardon?
M: The book! You haven't turned the page in the last ten minutes.
W: No, Jim. I suppose I haven't. I need to get through it, though, but I keep drifting away.
M: So it doesn't really hold your interest?
W: No, not really. I wouldn't bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. I'm at a university.
M: It's a labor of labor then rather than a labor of love.
W: I should say I don't like Dickens at all really, the author; indeed, I am starting to like the whole course less and less.
M: It's not just the book. It's the course as well?
W: Yeah, in a way, although the course itself isn't really that bad, a lot of it is pretty good, in fact, and the lecturer is fine. As to me, I suppose, you see, I want to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it.
M: So the courses are OK as such. It's just that if it had been left to you, you would choose a different one.
W: Oh, they had my best interest and heart of course, my parents. They always do, don't they? They believe that my job prospect would be pretty limited with the degree of philosophy. Plus, they give me a really generous allowance, but I am beginning to feel that I'm wasting my time and their money. They would be so disappointed though if I told them I was quitting.
22. Why can't Karen concentrate on the book?
23. Why is Karen starting to like the course less and less?
24. Who thinks Philosophy graduates have limited job opportunities?
25. What is Karen thinking of doing?
男士：嗨，卡伦，你不是真的在读书吧?
女士：请再说一遍好吗?
男士：我说的是书！你都有十分钟没翻页了。
女士：哦，吉姆。我想我确实没看书。我想看完，但我老走神。
男士：是这本书没有趣儿吗?
女士：是的，不怎么感兴趣。我本可以不看，老实说，我读它是为一个研讨会。我现在在一所大学学习。
男士：是为工作而工作，而不是为兴趣而工作。
女士：我一点也不喜欢它的作者狄更斯。事实上，我开始越来越不喜欢整个这门课程。
男士：不仅仅对这本书不感兴趣，对整个课程也不敢兴趣吗?
女士：恩，从某种意义上说，这门课本身不错，好多东西比较有意思，讲座也不错。但我比起英语更喜欢哲学，可我的父母反对。
男士：照这样说课程还可以。如果让你选择的话，你会选择另一门专业。
女士：哦，我父母总是全身心地为我的利益考虑。他们一直这么做，不是吗？他们认为学习哲学，就业面会很窄。此外，他们给我一大笔零用钱，但是我开始感觉我是在浪费时间和金钱。如果我告诉他们我放弃的话，他们会很失望的。
22. 为什么卡伦不能专心读书？
23. 为什么卡伦越来越不喜欢课程？
24. 谁认为哲学专业毕业生就业机会较少？
25. 卡伦想做什么？
