ay and Saturday nights, near the bars downtown. There’re also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more careful when they walk around Green Ville alone at night
Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes’ reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics, maybe next year
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.

36 flavors 37 confused 38 particularly 39 behavior 40 variety 41 overwhelmed 42 senior 43 strategies 44 who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision 45 why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. 46 a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career.

36-46解析：

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。

50题讲的是“为了保证公平性，有必要对_______的故事设立一个系统”；回答本题，我们可以回到原文倒数第二段First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. 所以应填入be proposed and reviewed。

51题是针对文章的最后一段提问； By anticipating “what if …?” situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of confrontations. 本句中ease out of和题目中的avoid异曲同工，所以，在这里填入confrontations即可。

总体来说，本篇文章难度适中，所有问题基本都可以从原文中找到答案；特别需要注意的是有个别地方需要考生注意一下格式的对应，比如说第50题的be proposed and reviewed。

Section B

Passage One

Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.

52. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
答案：D. The general public thinks differently from most economists on the impact of immigration.
关键词：yet, boost
定位：题干中the first paragraph提示答案定位在第一段。根据关键词可以进一步定位。
解析：第一段第二句“The American public overwhelmingly thinks they’re bad.”说明美国大众认为移民是不好的。而后面紧接着的第三句话“Yet the consensus among most economists is that… provides a small net boost”说明经济学家认为移民是有促进作用的。这句话中的Yet和boost，就是与前一句话作了对比。说明了在关于移民影响的问题上，美国大众和经济学家所持的观点是不同的。选项D“think differently”对应原文意思，因此选择选项D。

53. In what way does the author think ordinary Americans benefit from immigration?
答案：B. They can get consumer goods at lower prices.
关键词：profit, lower prices
定位：第三段第三句。
解析：原文第三段第三句“these producers’ savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store”说明移民劳动力节约了制造成本，使得我们在小店里买的东西价格更低，这与选项B中的“goods at lower prices”对应，因此选择B。

54. Why do native low-skilled workers suffer most from illegal immigration?
答案：C. They have a harder time getting a job with decent pay.
关键词：low-skilled, reduce the wages
定位：第三段的最一句话。
解析：原文第三段最后一句话“immigration reduced the wages of the American high-school drop-outs…”中“high-school drop-outs…”高中辍学的人即选项C中“low-skilled workers”，而选项C中的“decent pay”与原文中“reduce the wages”对应说明了移民会导致低技能水平的当地人更难找到一份体面工资的工作了。因此，C的意思与原文最符合，此处选择C。

55. What is the chief concern of native high-skilled, better-educated employees about the inflow of immigrants?
答案：D. It may place a great strain on the state budget.
关键词：high-skilled, fiscal burden
定位：第四段第二句
解析：第四段第一句提到“what worried them most was the fiscal burden”说明当地的高技能人才最担心的是移民带来的财政负担。选项A“改变社会结构”，选项B“威胁了他们的经济地位”，选线C“导致社会不稳定，这三个选项与国家财政无关。而选项D“国家预算”属于财政方面，与原文意思符合，所以此处选择D。

56. What is the irony about the debate over immigration?
答案：C. People are making too big a fuss about something of small impact.
关键词：irony
定位：第五段（文章最后一段）。
解析：要做对这道题目要理解文章最后一段的意思。根据关键词irony能够提示答案就在本段中。第五段的第一句点明了本段的主要意思：移民对于美国的真正影响很小。后面“it ends up being a net positive, but a small one.”是作者暗示人们对于移民影响的小题大做。而选项C中“make a big fuss about”大惊小怪（答题）与原文意思相同，因此此处选择C。

Passage Two

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

这篇文章严格地遵循了顺序原则，考生若是发现这一规律，在解决这篇文章时即可缩小涉猎范围，快速准确定位，从而减少解题时间。
57. What characterises the business school student population of today?
答案：A. Greater diversity.
关键词：characterises、today
定位：第一、二段
解析：第一段是对57题题干的综合阐述，在第三行开头的关键词“ today” 之后，我们看到“more women”“a wide range of ethnic groups”等字样，即可确定本题的答案是A. 此外，在第二段，我们同样可以发现，第二段的第二行“this apparent diversity”就直接将选项A点出来了。

58. What is the author’s concern about current business school education?
答案：B. It will produce business leaders of a uniform style.
关键词：concern、current business school education
定位：第二段的最后两行
解析：在第二段的最后两行，我们看到“which risk creating a set of clones …”,选项B中“uniform style”就是原文中“clone”的同义替换，正确答案就是B。

59. What aspect of diversity does Valerie Gauthier think is most important?
答案：C. Attitude and approach to business.
关键词：Valerie Gauthier、most important
定位：第三段的最后两行
解析：这道题的题干中有人名，还有最高级“most”,定位起来就非常容易了。在第三段的最后两行，我们可以很容易地找到答案“also contains diversity of attitude and approach…”，所以我们的正确选项是C。

60. What applicants does the author think MBA programmers should consider recruiting?
答案：C. Applicants from outside the traditional sectors.
关键词：MBA programmers、recruiting
定位：第四段
解析：这道题的题干中，根据关键词MBA我们定位到第三段的中间部分，但是根据前面59题的做题过程，我们大致了解到，第三段并没有讲跟recruit（招聘）相关的内容，于是我们看到第四段，第四段的第一行“selecting candidates”以及第二行“seeking individuals”都是题干中“recruiting”的同义替换，于是我们确定答案就在第四段，通过对第四段的阅读，我们可以很容易的得出正确的选项就是C。

61. What does Mannaz say about the current management style?
答案：D. It is shifting towards more collaborative models.
关键词：Mannaz、current management style
定位：第五段（即最后一段）的第五、六行
解析：大写字母开头的人名很自然地成为了关键词之一，根据Mannaz我们来到了最后一段的第五行，原文中“the increasing interest … more collaborative models”,即直接将答案指向了D选项。

这是一篇关于大学生课外实践的社论，原文刊登在英国的《卫报》上，链接如下：
http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2010/may/15/bristol-university-volunteering-award
这里再次验证了平时阅读外刊的重要性，沪江部落小组里就有一些外刊的学习贴，大家平时可以参考一下：如《BBC新闻听写》《AP一分钟时事精华》《今日TOPIC》《六级出题来源揭秘》
文章第一句，同样没有挖空，旨在帮助学生快速进入语境。
文章主旨句：课外实践是大学生专业课程的重要补充。

62. 需要通篇理解才能给出答案。

63. 上一句的关键词是usually, 讲述的是“通常的情况”，与“现在的情况”形成对比。因此63选but。

64. 这里需要一个和to搭配的动词，表达“投入”之意，因此只有devote符合。

65. 全文都在讲述学生找工作，这里的“人才市场”竞争激烈，才符合题意，因此competitive符合。

66. 本句里有个alongside，相当于beside，这里指课外实践以外的方面，当然就是academic

67. 这里需要一个副词修饰动词appreciate，根据but前后的逻辑，我们应该选择necessarily，表示“必然; 必定”: Big men aren't necessarily strong men. 高大的人不一定强壮.

68. 根据全文的大意，这里的appreciate要接“课外实践”作宾语。

69.
