Florence Hayes

　　Green Ville

　　篇章类型及提要：

　　听力点睛：

　　本文主要从Florence Hayes，一位来自Green Ville Journal的记者的工作揭示Green Ville的治安状况。难词不多，难度适中，难词主要是对犯罪类词汇的，如violent crimes, crimes against property, rape, robbery等，考生平时阅读及词汇学习一定要各种类型都涉及一点，掌握一些基本的专业词汇。其次这类从一个人的角度去看的文章，既要注意文中主人公的主观态度，也要关注客观事实。题目很可能把2者混淆起来考查考生。

　　精剖细析：

　　32.What is Florence Hayes’ main responsibility as a journalist?

　　答案： B)Reporting criminal offenses in Greenville。

　　解析：问女主人公作为记者的主要工作职责。题目比较简单。文章开头就给出"Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area." 且后面文章都是介绍女主人公报道的也都是镇上发生的犯罪行为。A和C选项范围大了，D选项范围有小了。只有B选项正确。

　　33.What does the speaker say about security in Greenville?

　　答案：D)It has fewer violent crimes than big cities。

　　解析：细节题。4个选项乍看都是和小镇治安有关。需要一个一个去排除。A选项文章并没有给出小镇以前和现在的治安状况对比，排除。B选项，文章的确提到了rapes，但是并没有提及在downtown areas的情况，且Greenville是个镇。C选项assaults常发生在near the bars downtown不是school campuses。如果做题时没做好笔记，关注好细节，很容易选错。

　　34. What do we learn about crimes against property in the Green Ville area?

　　答案：A) There are a wide range of cases。

　　解析：细节题。关键词是"crimes against property"，最后部分的听力中有"Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes' reporting."说明在Florence负责的犯罪行为中，和财产有关的占了大部分(make up组成)。说明这种犯罪率比较高。A选项适合。C选项乍看像是答案，但文中并给出该类案件正在不断升级。排除。

　　35. What would Florence Hayes prefer to do?

　　答案：A) Write about something pleasant。

　　解析：此题听到prefer就知道答案应所锁定于听力最后。听力已经很明显给出"She would prefer to start..." C和D没有提到。B选项，文中的确提到了local news or politics，但这只是她可能想要做的事情的举例而已，并不是非常明确就一定要去做。"omething more interesting and less unpleasant"表明应该选A。

　　Section C Compound Dictation

　　听力原文

　　In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether it’s picking one of thirty-one ice cream flavors, or deciding whether and when to get married. That sounds like a great thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, unhappy, even paralyzed with indecision. ‘That’s particularly true when it comes to the work place’, says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human behavior. Students are graduating with a variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups：maximizers, who consider every possible option, and satisficers, who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might expect that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that’s not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisficers on average, they weren’t as happy with their decision. The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career。

　　本次的复合式听写讲的是决策的问题。现代人面临着越来越多的决策，但是太多的选择会给人带来很多负作用。Barry Schwartz对大学毕业生的决策做了观察实验，把学生分为两类决策者：满足者和最大化者。研究发现决策最大化者尽管普遍比满足者获得薪水高，但是却并不对他们的决策感到开心。 这次的复合式听写稍微有些难度。需要注意的是需要加s的词flavors和strategies，在填写单词的时候要注意单复数。另外还有2个要填过去式或过去分词。此外，behavior的英式和美式拼写都可以。 这次写的三句句子中第一句后半句比较简单，除了注意单词exhausting不要写成exhausted之外，后一句很快就可以写出来。第二句why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities might also a world of less opportunities这句比较长，但是结构比较简单，单词也不难，考生要注意。第三句分为两部分，后半部分一个定语从句。前半句重点搭配为be aware of，后半句的turn down和pursue都是考生应掌握的词汇。

　　Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in depth)

　　Section A

　　Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage。

　　答案：

　　47. what is in your boss's mind

　　48. challenging our boss's authority

　　49. possible consequences

　　50. be proposed and reviewed

　　51. confrontations

　　47-51解析：

　　点评：本篇文章主要讲的是说no的技巧；如何向你的上司说no？如何对你的同事说no？

　　47题问的是“我们应当找出…，而不是直接对你的老板说no”；解此题，我们可以定位到文章的第三段The first rule of saying no to the boss is don’t say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and it’s up to you to find out what. 这句话说的是“老板在做建议的时候通常是她的脑子里已经有了一些想法了，而你应该做的就是找出这些想法。”所以应该填“what is in her mind。”

　　48题明确指出提问的是作者的第二条警告；回到原文The second rule is don’t raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. “我们不应该冒险挑战老板的权威”。

　　49题讲的是“对于你老板的建议，你应该…以及给她一个可供选择的解决方案”；回到原文第三段 The third rule is to be ready to cite options and consequences. The boss’s suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. 后面作者列举了一些例子，都是关于consequences的解释；所以这里应当填possible consequences。
