答案
23、【听音指导】本题为本长对话的题,出题点必在对话开始,由选项可知,本题涉及职业, 对于职业的考查也是前几年四级考试的重点。
【正确项分析】男士在文中明确提及trading in financial markets,根据同义推断原理,可推断该男士的职业是financial trader.
24、【听音指导】预览选项,可知选项A与其他三项明显不同,可初步排除。本题与食物或烹饪有关。所以在听音过程中,如提及cooking或food,应多加注意,适时记录。
【正确项分析】 听音过程中听到此句I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away,即可知答案就在附近,接下来的一句To do something my brain will regard as creative中,出现了关键词creative,选项B与之相符,故选择B选项。
25、【听音指导】本题是细节加评论题,关键要弄清楚各选项中it所指代的内容。本文出现频率多的词是stress,可大胆推测,此题考查的是对stress的评述。本题又是此长对话的后一题,答案应在听力对话的后两句。
【正确项分析】I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. 只要抓住此句中的一个关键词uncertainty,此题便可轻易而解,选项A正确。
原文
Conversation 2
W: So, why exactly does your job have 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 had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away. To do something my brain will regard as creative.
W: Do you think what you do to relax 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 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 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.
