Conversation one
M: Good morning, safe house insurance. My name is Paul. How can I help you today?
W:Morning. I wouldn't say that it's good from where I am standing. This is Miss Wilson, and this is the third time I've called this week since receiving your letter about our insurance claim. I'm getting a little fed up with my calls about my claim being completely disregarded.(Q1)
M: Miss Wilson, thank you for calling back. Can I take some details to help me look at your claim?
W: It's Miss May Wilson, a 15 south sea road in Cornwall. And the details are that our village was extensively flooded 2 months ago. The entire ground floor of our cottage was submerged in water. And five of us have been living in a caravan ever since.(Q2) You people are still withholding the money we are entitled to over a bizarre, technical detail. And it's not acceptable, Paul.
M: Miss Wilson, according to the notes on your account, the bizarre technical detail that you mentioned refers to the fact that you hadn't paid house insurance the month before the incident.(Q3)
W: That money left our account and wow that you should be paying out. You are suddenly saying that you didn't receive it on time. I'm really skeptical about this claim.
M: The contract does say that any miss payment in a year will affect the terms and conditions of the insurance contract and may affect claims. Of course, I can pass you on to my manager to talk to you more about this.
W: I’ve already spoken to him and you can tell him I'm furious now. And that your company has a lawsuit on its hands. You will be hearing from my lawyer, goodbye.(Q4)
Question 1: What is the woman complaining about?
Question 2: What is the problem the woman's family encountered?
Question 3: What has caused the so called bizarre, technical detail according to the man? Question 4: What docs the woman say she will do at the end of the conversation?
【文章解析】
话题方面,本文是生活主题的对话,以电话的形式进行,主要是女士对保险公司的投诉。该篇对话难度适中,是六级常考的话题,没有专业词汇,但是需要理解核心词insurance(保险),考生在做题时听出信号词后方可定位选项,并有侧重的把重点放在进行投诉的女士身上。题目方面,四道题都是细节题,紧扣主题。这四道题在开头、问答、强调、结尾处设题。词汇方面,本文不涉及专业术语,注意生活中词语的灵活运用。建议考生宏观与细节相结合来进行选题。
【题目解析】
Question 1: 通过问题得知是问这位女士在抱怨什么?那么要重点寻找女士表示的“受够、忍受”等这类表示态度的词的回答。根据关键词“fed up with”可以定位至女士开始说的第一句话“I'm getting a little fed up with my calls about my claim being completely disregarded.”,即“我有点受够了,我的电话,我的主张被完全忽视了。” 根据其中女士表达的观点可以定位至正确选项C) Her claim gas been completely disregarded.
Question 2: 该题是询问女士的家人遇到了什么问题。根据细节信息可定位至“The entire ground floor of our cottage was submerged in water. And five of us have been living in a caravan ever since.” 即“我们小屋的整个底层都被水淹没了。从那以后,我们五个人一直住在一辆大篷车里。”因此,可根据该细节信息定位至正确选项A) The ground floor of their cottage was flooded.
Question 3: 通过问题得知是问: 根据该男子的说法,是什么导致了所谓的奇怪的技术细节?那么要重点寻找bizarre这个词,答案会出现在其后。因此可以定位至男士说的话“the bizarre technical detail that you mentioned refers to the fact that you hadn't paid house insurance the month before the incident.”即“你提到的奇怪的技术细节是指你在事故发生前一个月没有支付房屋保险的事实。” 因此可以选出正确选项D) The woman’s failure to pay her house insurance in time.
Question 4: 该题是问对话结束时,女士说她会做什么?那么要去关注对话结尾处的内容。根据最后一句“You will be hearing from my lawyer, goodbye.” 即“你会收到我律师的信,再见。” 换句话表述就是,女士要去告保险公司,由此定位正确选项A) File a lawsuit against the insurance company.

Conversation 2
W: How do you feel about the future of artificial intelligence? Personally, I feel quite optimistic about it.(Q5-1)
M: AI? I'm not so optimistic actually. In fact, its, something we should be concerned about.(Q5-2)
W: Well, it will help us humans understand ourselves better and when we have a better understanding of ourselves, we can improve the world.
M: Well, one thing is for sure, technology is evolving faster than our ability to understand it and in the future AI ill make jobs kind of pointless
W: I think artificial intelligence will actually help create new kinds of jobs, which would require less of our time and allow us to be centered on creative tasks.(Q6)
M: I doubt that very much. Probably the last job that will be writing Al software and then eventually AI will just write his own software
W: At that time, we are going to have a lot of jobs which nobody will want to do. So we won't need artificial intelligence for the robots to take care of the old guys like us.
M: I don't know. There’s a risk that human civilization could be replaced by a superior type of digital life. AI will be able to completely simulate a person in every way possible. In fact, some people think we’re in a simulation right now.(Q7)
W: That's impossible. Humans can't even make a mosquito. Computers only have chips, people have brains, and that’s where the wisdom comes from.
M: Once its fully developed. AI will become tired of trying to communicate with humans as we would be much slower thinkers in comparison.(Q8)
W: I'm not so sure. A computer is a computer and a computer is just a toy.
M: Computers can easily communicate incredibly fast, so the computer will just get impatient talking to humans. I'll be barely getting any information out.
W: Well, I believe there's a benevolent future with Al. I also think you watch too many science fiction films.
Q5: What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?
Q6: What will new kinds of jobs be like according to the woman?
Q7: What is the risk the man anticipates?
Q8: What is the man's concern about AI technology?
【文章解析】
话题方面,本文话题围绕人工智能展开,根据一个话题进行讨论是长对话部分为常见的考察方式。整体对话不算深奥,主要是男女双方对于人工智能的看法。题目方面,四道题都是细节题,均有较为明确的关键词以及信号词指引,文章在首回合、观点态度以及让步转折处设题。考生务必提前预读选项,带着预判听材料可能正确率会更高,总体难度与第一篇长对话差别不大。
【题目解析】
Question 5: 通过问题可知是问从对话中我们可以了解到说话者的什么信息。根据首回合女士说的“How do you feel about the future of artificial intelligence? Personally, I feel quite optimistic about it.(你对人工智能的未来有什么看法?就我个人而言,我感到相当乐观。)”以及男士的态度:“AI? I'm not so optimistic actually. In fact, its, something we should be concerned about.”即“人工智能?事实上,我并不那么乐观。事实上,这是我们应该关注的问题。”男士则是持否定态度。因此双方并未达成一致意见。因此定位正确选项B) They disagree about the future of AI technology.
Question 6: 通过问题可知是询问:根据女士的观点,新的工作将会是什么样的。在对话中要注意女士的态度句。根据关键词“I think”可定位至原文中女生说的“I think artificial intelligence will actually help create new kinds of jobs, which would require less of our time and allow us to be centered on creative tasks.”即“我认为人工智能实际上将有助于创造新的工作,这将占用我们更少的时间,并允许我们集中精力完成创造性的任务。” 因此可选出正确选项C) Less time-consuming and focusing on creation.
Question 7: 该题是询问这位男士预期的风险是什么。可根据细节信息定位至原文中男士说的“There’s a risk that human civilization could be replaced by a superior type of digital life. AI will be able to completely simulate a person in every way possible. In fact, some people think we’re in a simulation right now.”即“人类文明有可能被一种更高级的数字生活所取代。人工智能将能够以各种可能的方式完全模拟一个人。事实上,有些人认为我们现在正在模拟。” 因此可选择出正确答案B) Digital life could be replace human civilization.
Question 8: 通过问题可知是询问男士对人工智能技术的担忧是什么。可根据让步转折定位至原文中男士说的“Once its fully developed. AI will become tired of trying to communicate with humans as we would be much slower thinkers in comparison.”即“一旦它完全发展。人工智能将会厌倦与人类交流,因为相比之下,我们的思维要慢得多。”因此可以选择出正确答案 D) It will be smarter than human beings.

Passage One
To achieve financial security. How much you save is always more important. Then the amount you earn or how shrewdly you invest. If you’re under 30 years old, your goal should be to save 20% of your monthly income after tax deductions.(Q9) This is irrespective of how much you earn. Approximately 50% should be reserved for essentials, like food and accommodation. The remaining 30% is for recreation and entertainment. But for many young people, it’ll be difficult to designate such a large proportion of their income for savings. If you find it hard to save any money at all start by cutting all unnecessary spending, allocate a tiny amount of 1 or 2% for savings, and gradually increase that amount.(Q10) Always keep that 20% goal in mind, prevent yourself from becoming complacent. It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan. But if you adopt the right mindset, you should be able to make it work for you.(Q11) So what should you be doing with the money that you are saving? Some must be kept easily accessible. In case you need some cash in an emergency, the largest proportion should be invested in retirement plans, either for your employer, all privately, you can keep some money for high risk, but potentially lucrative investments. Dividends can be reinvested or used to purchase something you like. By following this plan, you should hopefully be able to enjoy your life now, and still be financially secure in the future.
Q9: What are people under 30 advised to do to achieve financial security?
Q10: What should people do if they find it difficult to follow the speaker's advice on their financial plan?
Q11: What does the speaker think is important for achieving financial security?
【文章解析】
话题方面,本文是以个人财产为主题的篇章,篇章主要讲述了如何实现个人财务安全,即是选择投资还是储蓄。原文作为篇章第一篇来说难度不算低,因为有很多类似于tax deductions, lucrative investments等这样的商务金融类词汇。但文章的出题点较密集,可能会成为考生的难题,考生首先务必要把握开头前两句,这样有助于听懂后续文章。题目方面,三道题都是细节题,紧扣主题。信号词不明显,需要考生把握细节。
【题目解析】
Question 9: 通过问题得知是问30岁以下的人应该怎么做才能获得财务安全?根据开头信息可以定位至“If you’re under 30 years old, your goal should be to save 20% of your monthly income after tax deductions.”,即“如果你还不到30岁,你的目标应该是把每月收入的20%存起来。” 由此可定位至正确选项B) Save one fifth of their net monthly income.
Question 10: 通过题干得知是询问如果人们发现很难按照演讲者关于他们财务计划的建议去做,他们应该做什么。根据让步转折信息可以定位至原文中“If you find it hard to save any money at all start by cutting all unnecessary spending, allocate a tiny amount of 1 or 2% for savings, and gradually increase that amount.”即“如果你发现一开始很难通过削减所有不必要的开支来攒钱,那就分配1%或2%作为储蓄,然后逐渐增加这个数额。”因此,选项 “A) Start by doing something small.”是正确答案。
Question 11: 通过问题得知是问说话者认为什么对实现财务安全是重要的?根据细节信息可以定位至“Always keep that 20% goal in mind, prevent yourself from becoming complacent. It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan. But if you adopt the right mindset, you should be able to make it work for you.”即“永远记住20%的目标,防止自己变得自满。坚持这样一个严格的计划是很有挑战性的。但是如果你采取了正确的心态,你应该能够让它为你工作。”由此可定位至正确选项--正确答案是B. Ambitious plan. 题干是Q11 What does the speaker think is important for achieving financial security? 作者认为对于实现财务安全什么很重要?解题句已在原文中标黄。

Passage Two
I work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends,mainly because I’m aware that we live in an image obsessed world.
However, when I first started my job, occasionally I'd catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts and find myself thinking that I Iooked a total mess.(Q12) Was I being held back by my choice of clothing? The short answer is "Yes",especially when clients are quick to judge you on your style rather than your work. But no one can be unique with her outfit every day. I mean that's why uniforms were invented.(Q13) So here's what I did. I created my own uniform. To do this, I chose an appropriate outfit. Then I bought multiple items of the same style in different shades.
Now,I never worry about what I'm wearing in the morning. Even if I do get a bit tired of just wearing the same classic pieces. Overall, when it comes to work you have to ask yourself with looking smarter can enhance my ability to do my job.(Q14)
For some, this question may not be an issue at all especially if you work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face. But if your job involves interacting with other people,the answer to this is often"yes". So rather than fighting the system, I think we should just do what ever helps us to achieve our goals at work. If that means playing it safe with your image then let's face it. Its probably worth it.(Q15)
Q12: What do we learn about he speaker when she first tarted her job?
Q13: Why were uniforms invented according to the speaker?
Q14: What does the speakers say about looking smarter?
Q15: What does the speaker advise people to do in an image obsessed world?
【文章解析】
话题方面,本文是以第一人称视角进行的篇章,篇章主要讲述了个人的形象外表在当今世界中的重要性。话题不深奥,难度适中。词汇方面,也没有什么专业词汇。文章的出题点较平均,且都可根据信号词来进行选择。题目方面,四道题都是细节题,紧扣主题,分别在转折及总结处设题。建议考生把握信号词与细节,便可攻破该篇章。
【题目解析】
Question 12: 当作者第一次开始工作我们可以得知…根据篇章开头处的转折可以定位至“However, when I first started my job, occasionally I'd catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts and find myself thinking that I Iooked a total mess.”,即“然而,当我刚开始工作时,偶尔会在电梯里瞥一眼自己,发现自己觉得自己看起来一团糟。” 由此可定位至正确选项B) She found her outfit inappropriate.
Question 13: 通过题干得知是-考查作者的观点,为什么发明制服。根据让步转折信息可以定位至原文中“But no one can be unique with her outfit every day. I mean that's why uniforms were invented.”即“但是没有人可以每天都穿独一无二的衣服。这就是制服被发明的原因。”因此,选项 “A) To save the trouble of choosing a unique outfit every day.”是正确答案。
Question 14: 通过问题得知是问关于看起来更聪明,说话者说了什么?原文分两种情况,如果很少和同事或者客户面对面交流,这不是问题。但是工作性质涉及和别人见面交流,looking smart很重要。根据结论处可以定位至“Overall, when it comes to work you have to ask yourself with looking smarter can enhance my ability to do my job.”-正确的定位句已标黄。即“总的来说,当涉及到工作的时候,你必须问问自己,看起来更聪明能提高我的工作能力。”由此可定位至正确选项C) It matters a lot in jobs involving interaction with others.
Question 15: 通过问题得知是问在一个被形象所困扰的世界里,说话者建议人们做什么?根据总结性信息可以定位至文章末尾“So rather than fighting the system, I think we should just do what ever helps us to achieve our goals at work. If that means playing it safe with your image then let's face it. Its probably worth it.”即“因此,我认为我们应该做任何能帮助我们实现工作目标的事情,而不是与制度作对。如果这意味着你要谨慎对待你的形象,那就让我们面对它吧。也许值得。”由此可定位至正确选项D) Do whatever is possible to look smart.
