熟悉场景
职场工作场景涉及的考点主要有面试、新员工上班、办公室等。
(1)面试场景
场景人物:聘方和应聘者

答题技巧
(1)熟悉职场工作场景词汇。英语是模式化的语言,固定场景只会用固定词汇,分场景总结记忆场景词汇能够有效提高听力效率。
(2)判断话题与场景。职场工作场景性很强,一般在长对话中,第一轮对话往往引出工作场景的话题,很可能是对话的主题所在,也是回答主旨、话题以及场景题的依据所在。
(3)把握做题的节奏。做题的节奏在听力中比在其他部分要重要得多,每一项提问的时间间隔都是相同的。做到答题的节奏与提问的节奏相一致,一旦答题的节奏落后了,就会手忙脚乱,出错的概率会大大增加。
(4)注意选项中的同义表达。正确选项往往与原文相似,或是原文的同义表达,因此考生应注意提取选项中的关键点,在听时留意其是否与原文意思相同并加以记录。

9.B。对话中可以听到女士的大部分话语都是在提问,而男士始终在回答相关问题。由此可先排除选项A和C。女士的提问涉及男士的工作、教育、家庭、生活等方面。D只提到家庭背景,表述不够全面。由此判定他们在进行interview。故答案为B。(https://www.daowen.com)
10.B。原文中的Have you any brothers or sisters与题干对应,据此定位答案。man的回答很明确:Two brothers,both at school而从对话开头可得知男士已经left school,而且已经工作了,所以他肯定是家里的老大。故答案为B。

【听力原文】
M:So Patricia,have you given any more thought to taking on an assistant in marketing
W:Yes,and I’m still not sure about it.
M:Well,I guess we’d advertise the position internally as we always do.
W:But if we advertised the job internally,we’d have the same old problems—not enough applicants and lots of internal political problems.Couldn’t we advertise the job outside the company for once?
M:Well,I suppose we could.But if we did,a lot of people wouldn’t be very happy about it.
W:But even if we promoted one of our own people,the other internal applicants wouldn’t be happy anyway.So what’s the difference Why couldn’t we just advertise it in the national papers?
M:But it’s company policy.You know that.We always advertise internally first.
W:Yes,I know.But why can’t we try something different for a change If we took someone on from outside the company we’d bring some new ideas into the department.It’s what we need.
M Why don’t we just advertise it internally as we always do,right That’ll keep everyone happy and then after a couple of weeks,we can put an advert in the paper as well.What do you say?
W:Oh,all right.But I’m not going to do the interviews.
Q:11.What is the opening concerned in the conversation?
Q:12.According to the conversation,how do they finally decide to place the advertisement?
