4、ear the interview ONLY ONCE. You now have 1 minute to read Questions 1 to 10. (如需獲取本MP3聽力錄音請搜索標(biāo)題名) 1. The interview is based on a sociological survey.答案:A解析 1-10W: Good afternoon. This is Radio Today. Now we have Mr Miller here, who, with his colleagues, has recently made a survey on childrens attit

5、udes to different jobs. Mr Miller, please.M: Thank you.W: Well, we heard some people just now who seem to feel that other people have a wrong idea about the work they do. Do you think this sort of thing is very widespread?M: Oh, absolutey. Most jobs or professions seem to have an image or a stereoty

6、pe attached to them, often much to the irritation of the job-holders. But there is a serious point to all this, too, that maybe young people actually choose their careers under the influence of these false images. And certainly, there is evidence that they may even avoid certain careers because they

7、 have a negative image. Well, on a large scale, as you can imagine, this could cause problem for whole sectors of the economy.W: Er, you say theres evidence?M: Oh, most definitely. There was a survey recently into childrens attitudes to different professions.W: How was that done, though? Because, af

8、ter all, children dont know much about the world of work before they get into it.M: Well, exactly. What the investigators wanted to get was their impressions and their prejudices. They used a very simple technique. They gave the children twelve pairs of statements. In each pair one statement was pos

9、itive, the other was its opposite.W: For example?M: Well, for example, Such and such a person is likely to be boring or interesting company.W: I see. What professions did they ask about?M: Laugh Do you want the whole list?W: Well, why not?M: OK. Here goes. They looked at physicists, lawyers, economi

10、sts, accountants, sales representatives, estate agents, biologists, and three types of engineer - mechanical engineers, electrical and civil. The children were asked to say which if the statements was most true about each profession.W: And the results?M: Well, they were rather striking concerning on

11、e profession in particular, the poor old engineer. Of all the jobs mentioned, he came out really much worse than you might expect. The vast majority of children (90% in the case of the mechanical engineer), thought that engineering was a dirty job. They also thought the job was of low status and sub

12、ordinate; that is, the engineer is more likely to take orders than to give them. Oh, and insecure too. The only other person they thought more likely to actually lose his job was the sales representative. But, I must say there were good points too. Engineering was seen to be interesting, well paid w

13、ork.W: Hmm, not such a rosy picture, really.M: No. but it got better when the children were asked about how they imagined the engineer as a person. The majority of the children chose positive comments, except that they thought the engineer was likely to be badly rather than well dressed. LaughW: Wel

14、l, what about the other professions then? Er . what came out favorite, for example?M: Oh, the lawyer without doubt. He collected by far the greatest number of positive opinions. The sales representative and then the estate agent were right at the bottom.W: Oh, so the engineers werent right down ther

15、e?M: Oh no! The childrens ratings put them just above the poor old sales representative all bunched together. Probably the children dont have that much of an idea of their real work. I think they. Laugh they went by the titles, really, since civil engineer came out top, perhaps the suggestion of the

16、 name?W: Oh, I see. You mean that he was a. a more civilized sort of chap than the others?M: Laugh Yes, right. Reasonable sounding, isnt it?W: Yes. Quite sensible, I suppose. And I imagine the mechanical engineer came out bottom?M: Absolutely right. In fact 90% of the children associated him with di

17、rty work, as against 76% for the electrical engineer and 68% for the civil engineer.W: And the other professions?M: Well, after the lawyer came the accountant, then the scientist, the physicist first. The economist came just above the engineers. Funnily enough, he was the only one that the majority

18、of children felt would be gloomy rather than cheerful.W: A real sign of the times, that.M: Yes. But I still think the most serious implication of the survey was the childrens apparent ignorance of the importance of the engineers role in society.W: Hmm.M: After all, in most other European countries t

19、o be an engineer is to be somebody. And I imagine that this means that many bright children, who might really enjoy the profession and do well in it, probably never consider it, which is a great pity for the country as a whole. We do need good engineers after all.W: Thank you very much, Mr Miller. T

20、omorrow afternoon at the same time please listen to Radio Today.節(jié)目的第一個話輪中女士(主持人)即指出：. Mr Miller. has recently made a survey on childrens attitudes to jobs，這就是節(jié)目采訪Mr Miller的原因。而由這一句及后面的對話可知，這是一種社會學(xué)領(lǐng)域的調(diào)查，因此題句是正確的。2. People have wrong images or stereotypes about all professions or jobs.答案:B在第二個話輪中，男士的第

21、二句話指出：Most jobs or professions. to the job-holders，即人們對大部分工作或者職業(yè)都有錯誤的印象或者陳舊的觀念，題句中用的則是all professions or jobs，因此不正確。3. Stereotypes may exert a bad influence on choosing a really suitable job.答案:A第二個話輪中，男士的第三句話指出：. that maybe young people actually choose their careers under the influence of these fal

22、se images，即這些錯誤的印象會影響年輕人，他們可能會按照這種錯誤的印象去選擇職業(yè)，這與題句的意思是一致的。4. The survey was about what kind of jobs children want to do.答案:B由題目提示和第一個話輪中女士提到的on childrens attitudes to different jobs及第四個話輪后的對話內(nèi)容(尤其是這個話輪中男士的第二句：What the investigators. and their prejudices)可知，調(diào)查的是孩子們對于不同職業(yè)的印象，而不是他們想干什么工作，因此題句是錯誤的。5. The

23、 children investigated were given twelve pairs of statements.答案:A題句對應(yīng)于第四個話輪中男士的第三句：They gave the children twelve pairs of statements，即給孩子們12對句子，因此題句是正確的。6. The host wants to see the whole list of professions asked about in the survey.答案:A本題考查的是對表達(dá)的理解。在第六個話輪中女士詢問調(diào)查中有哪些職業(yè)，男士笑著問她是不是想知道全部名單；而在第七個話輪中女士用w

24、hy not反問，表明自己就是想知道全部名單，并且在這一話輪中男士詳細(xì)說明了調(diào)查中問及的10種職業(yè)，因此題句是正確的。7. About 90% of the children associated electrical engineer with dirty work.答案:B在第八個話輪中，男士的第三句話指出：The vast majority of. was a dirty job，即絕大部分孩子認(rèn)為工程學(xué)、有90%的孩子認(rèn)為機(jī)械工程師是一種“臟兮兮的工作”。題句中的electrical engineer與這一句中的mechanical engineer不符，因此是錯誤的。8. Accor

25、ding to the result, most children will not choose economist as career.答案:A在對話的第十四個話輪中，男士在提到經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家這一職業(yè)時指出：he was the only one. rather than cheerful，即絕大多數(shù)孩子認(rèn)為經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家的前景暗淡，由此可以推知孩子們當(dāng)然不會選擇它來作為自己的職業(yè)，題句是正確的。9. Children may have no idea of their real work because they judge a job by its name.答案:A在第十一個話輪中，男士認(rèn)為孩子

26、們對真正的工作沒有概念的原因是：. they went by the titles. perhaps the suggestion of the name，與題句的意思是一致的。10. In most European countries an engineer is not an important profession.答案:B在最后一個話輪中男士的第一句話明確指出：in most other European countries. to be some body，即在大多數(shù)歐洲國家中工程師都是個人物，也就是說這一職業(yè)很重要，題句正好與此相反，因此錯誤。Part B You will he

34、arsB.you can earn bigger guaranteed returnsC.30% returns can be achievedD.the market can be affected by the weather答案:A獨(dú)自的倒數(shù)第二段用數(shù)據(jù)說明了過去以來股市的回報率，而在最后一句說：. its a rollercoaster ride with many minus years as well. you have to weather the storm，其中的weather the storm指的是“未雨綢繆”而不是指天氣，因此它實(shí)際上說的是市場有漲有跌，所以應(yīng)做好長期準(zhǔn)
