题解 PART I LISTENING COMPREHENSION SECTION A MINI-LECTURE checking understanding/comprehension讲座通过主动学习者与被动学习者的六种特征对比讨论了两者之间的不同，而核心部分是六种特征的阐述。本考点考察的是第一点，主动学习者在阅读前设定目标而且在阅读中验证自己的理解。 reflective文中提到主动学习者能够对信息进行反思并且具有批判性思维。 unfamiliar/unknown 文中提到在处理信息过程中，主动学习者能够确认不熟悉的信息。 reading material文中提到在处理信息过程中，主动学习者能够正确评估阅读材料的重要性。 comprehensive and organized 文中有关主动学习者的第三点特性提到在听的过程中要注意把笔记作得细致全面并且条理清晰。 monitoring (understanding) 文中第四点提到学习者可能在理解监控中遇到问题。 adapt/change 文中提到当新信息与已知信息不符时，学习者会对结论或推断作出调整。 blame 文中提到被动学习者经常把问题归咎于别人。 (poor/unsatisfactory) performance 文中提及主动学习者与被动学习者对于自我表现欠佳时的态度。 becoming active learners 成为主动学习者需要技巧和意志力，而后者显得更为重要。 SECTION B INTERVIEW A. Better education → greater mobility → more choices. 信息重组题。对话中谈到：“With greater mobility, the mobility that is offered when people have greater opportunities for higher education or training, more and more people are able to choose the fields that interest them.” 从而可以得知以上逻辑关系，于是选择A项。 D. Job security came second according to the poll results. 细节辨析题。根据对话，各项的结果为：1）“important and meaningful work” 50%；2）“high income” 24%；3) “chances for advancement” 16%; 4) “job security” 6%; 5) “shorter work hours” 4% , D项的描述与原文不符，所以选D。 B. The way in which the questions were designed. 细节辨析题。对话中提到whereas in the first poll respondents had to choose only one out of five. In this poll they wanted the respondents to react to each item separately, so they had four choices for each item. 由此可知二者在问卷的问题设计上有所不同，所以选B。 C. Psychological reward is more important than material one. 细节辨析题。文中主持人提到：“It seems to me that people value psychological reward a lot more than money.”嘉宾回答：“That’s right. At least the poll results seem to say so.”由此可知选C。 B. Chances for advancement. 细节辨析题。文中嘉宾提到：“There’s both a psychological reward to promotion as well as a monetary reward.”所以选B。 SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST B. passengers. 逻辑推断题。新闻中设计者提到“We travel a lot and many times we faced a problem of rest and privacy in airports,”从而有了研发睡觉箱的创意，可知产品的目标群体是飞机乘客，因而选B. D. Renters can take a shower ins
