【聽音指導(dǎo)】預(yù)覽選項，選項A、D討論evening class，選項B講述day course，立刻可推測此長對話與課程有關(guān)，且該課程有day class和evening class之分。從這四個選項暗含的意義推測，男士應(yīng)偏重于evening class，可初步推測，此題考查男士選擇evening class的原因。

【正確項分析】原文中男士明確說明it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day，關(guān)鍵詞在于since，正所謂"因果必考"，選項C與原文相符。

【聽音指導(dǎo)】行為動作考查題，根據(jù)19題推測，本對話涉及報班，由本題四個選項可知，所報課程與電腦有關(guān)，因為前三項均與computer有關(guān)。可知選項D與其他三項明顯不同，可初步排除。本題也為一細(xì)節(jié)題，在聽力過程中，應(yīng)適時記錄相關(guān)信息。

【正確項分析】女士先提到了Have you taken any courses in data processing，在其后緊跟著又對其進(jìn)行了解釋data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming。對于data processing在對話中重復(fù)出現(xiàn)，且與問題相符，故選擇B選項。

【聽音指導(dǎo)】由選項即可知本題考查數(shù)字的細(xì)節(jié)題，且考查的數(shù)字為持續(xù)的時間，初步推測為某一課程所持續(xù)的時間。所以如在聽力過程中涉及數(shù)字都要作筆記，且應(yīng)注意數(shù)字的上下文場景。

【正確項分析】對該問題的回答，信息較分散，最初提到了every Monday, from 7 to 9:45。接下來在let me see停頓之后出現(xiàn)答案12 weeks，from September 1 to Christmas eve. 整合以上信息，應(yīng)選C。

【干擾項分析】選項A錯在Thursday evening，原文中明確給出應(yīng)該是Monday evening。選項B中的New Year's eve也是偷梁換柱，應(yīng)為Christmas eve。選項D涉及小計算，每晚3小時，持續(xù)12周，應(yīng)大約總共36小時才正確。

【聽音指導(dǎo)】根據(jù)"前二后二必考"原則，本題又為本對話的最后一題，此題必在文章后面出題。由四選項的形式可初步推測，本題考查的是問題的內(nèi)容。

【正確項分析】本題的問題直截了當(dāng)，在原文中男士給出了明確的提問，Is there anything that I should bring with me? 與選項A同義。

【干擾項分析】許多考生按照常理或主觀臆測選定選項B，此項在原文中恰恰沒有提到。原文中男士也明確表明I know how to get there，選項C是多余的。文中雖提到checkbook，是女士對男士問題的回答，而非男士的發(fā)問，故排除。

【原文及譯文】

W: Hello, Parkson College. May I help you?

M: Yes. I'm looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the fall semester.

W: Do you want a day or evening course?

M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day.

W: Aha. Have you taken any courses in data processing?

M: No.

W: Oh! Well, data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming.

M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it is not on Thursdays.

W: Well, there's a class that meets on Monday evenings at 7.

M: Just once a week?

W: Yes. But that's almost 3 hours from 7 to 9:45.

M: Oh! Well, that's alright. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last?

W: Mm, let me see. 12 weeks. You start the first week in September, and finish, oh, just before Christmas. December 21st.

M: And how much is the course?

W: That's 300 dollars including the necessary computer time.

W: Registration is on the second and third of September between 6 and 9 in Frost Hall.

M: Is that the round building behind the parking lot?

W: Yes, that's the one.

M: Oh, I know how to get there. Is there anything that I should bring with me?

W: No, just your checkbook.

M: Well, thank you very much.

W: You're very welcome. Bye!

M: Bye!

22: What does the man want to know at the end of the conversation?

女士：你好。帕克森大學(xué)，有什么事需要幫忙嗎？

男士：是的。我想咨詢有關(guān)計算機(jī)程序設(shè)計課程的信息。我想在秋季學(xué)期上課。

女士：白天上課還是晚上上課？

男士：哦，因為我白天工作，我想晚上上課。

女士：嗯。你學(xué)過關(guān)于數(shù)據(jù)處理的課程嗎？

男士：沒有。

女士：哦! 好的，在學(xué)習(xí)計算機(jī)編程之前必須學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)據(jù)處理。

男士：哦，我明白了。數(shù)據(jù)處理什么時候上課? 我希望不是星期四。

女士：哦，有一個班在周一晚上7點。

男士：一周僅上一次？

女士：是的。從7點到9點45分，差不多3個小時。

男士：哦! 沒關(guān)系，我可以做到。幾個星期的課程？

女士：嗯，讓我看看。12周。你從九月第一次周末開始，哦，圣誕節(jié)前夕12月21日結(jié)課。

男士：這門課程多少錢？

女士：300美元，包括必要的上機(jī)時間。

男士：好的，嗯，我到哪里去登記？

女士：在9月2號、3號6 點至 9點在弗羅斯特大廳登記。

男士：是停車場后面的圓形大樓嗎？

女士：是的，就是那兒。

男士：哦，我知道怎么到那兒去。我必須要帶什么東西嗎?

男士：哦，太謝謝了。

女士：不用客氣。再見！

男士：再見！

21：我們能從晚間課程了解到什么信息？

22：在談話最后男士想了解什么信息？

【詞匯點撥】course n. 課程；computer programming 計算機(jī)編程；data processing 數(shù)據(jù)處理；parking lot 停車場；schedule n. 時間表

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

【聽音指導(dǎo)】本題為本長對話的第一題，出題點必在對話開始，由選項可知，本題涉及職業(yè)， 對于職業(yè)的考查也是前幾年四級考試的重點。

【正確項分析】男士在文中明確提及trading in financial markets，根據(jù)同義推斷原理，可推斷該男士的職業(yè)是financial trader.

【聽音指導(dǎo)】預(yù)覽選項，可知選項A與其他三項明顯不同，可初步排除。本題與食物或烹飪有關(guān)。所以在聽音過程中，如提及cooking或food，應(yīng)多加注意，適時記錄。

【正確項分析】 聽音過程中聽到此句I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away，即可知答案就在附近，接下來的一句To do something my brain will regard as creative中，出現(xiàn)了關(guān)鍵詞creative，選項B與之相符，故選擇B選項。

【聽音指導(dǎo)】本題是細(xì)節(jié)加評論題，關(guān)鍵要弄清楚各選項中it所指代的內(nèi)容。本文出現(xiàn)頻率最多的詞是stress，可大膽推測，此題考查的是對stress的評述。本題又是此長對話的最后一題，答案應(yīng)在聽力對話的后兩句。

【正確項分析】I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. 只要抓住此句中的一個關(guān)鍵詞uncertainty，此題便可輕易而解，選項A正確。

【原文及譯文】

W: So, why exactly does your job have a reputation for being stressful?

M: Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you. Trading in financial markets combines both.

W: How do you relax in the evening?

M: I very rarely do anything work-related so it's easy to escape the markets. I generally go to the gym or go for a run, especially if I've had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away. To do something my brain would regard as creative.

W: Do you think what you do for relaxation is an effective way to beat stress?

M: I don't think there is a specific rule about how to beat stress. I generally find out what I do is effective for me.

W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?

M: I have considered leaving my job due to stress-related factors. However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing, and if used the right way, it can actually be a positive thing.

W: What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?

M: Having said all that, I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. I enjoy a mental challenge. Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second. How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short, medium and long term trading performance and success.

23: What is the man's job?

24: Why does the man prefer to cook a meal rather than have a take-away?

25: What does the man say about an element of stress in his job?

女士：那么，到底為什么你的工作以緊張出名呢？

男士：當(dāng)人們束手無策或感覺被控制時，就會有壓力感。金融市場上的交易正是這兩者的結(jié)合。

女士：你晚上如何放松？

男士：我很少做與工作有關(guān)的事情，所以很容易逃脫市場。我通常去健身房或是出去跑步。尤其是在我感覺某天很糟糕的時候，更是如此。我總是做飯，而不是叫外賣。做點兒有創(chuàng)意的事。

女士：你認(rèn)為你放松自己的方法對消除壓力有效嗎？

男士：消除壓力沒有特定的法寶?？偟膩碚f，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我所做的一切對我來說都是有效的。

女士：你是否因壓力大而考慮換工作呢？

男士：因為壓力的因素我曾考慮過離開我的工作。但是，我認(rèn)為壓力是一件好事。如果運(yùn)用得當(dāng)，壓力實際上是有益的。

女士：你喜歡工作中的哪些壓力？

男士：說了這么多，我的確喜歡不確定因素。我喜歡挑戰(zhàn)。交易會在瞬間產(chǎn)生一系列大范圍的情緒波動。你如何處理及管理這些情緒支配著中短期及長期交易業(yè)績和成功。

23：男士的工作是什么？

24：為什么男士喜歡做飯，而不是叫外賣？

25：關(guān)于工作中的壓力感，男士說了什么？
