W: Hello Jack. I’m surprised to see you here, with this big sports event on at the moment.
M: Oh, what’s on this afternoon doesn’t interest me much. I’m saving my energy for the ski jumping that’s on tonight! Come round to my house and join me.
W: That sounds great, and I do like it. I’m hoping to watch a DVD at home with friends, though. To be honest, not everyone wants to watch sports all day long, do they? My favorite music program was even canceled!
M: Yeah, even sports fans need a change sometimes.
W: People say that having a lot of sports on TV gets people our age to try sports, but it doesn’t seem to have much effect on me! I go running every day… Well, maybe just at the weekends now. I’ve got so much schoolwork to do.
M: I’ve got the same problem. But how about coming to join the supporters when I next play football? It’s on next Saturday morning.
W: How can I miss that?

W: Yeah, the traffic was terrible, and the rain… It took me ages to get here. I’ll just put my umbrella in the corner here, shall I? Anyway, I’m really sorry I’m late.
M: Well, I’m glad you got here in the end. Now we should probably get going as fast as we can, because I’ve got another interview at 12:00. Why do you want to work for us?
W: Well, I’m a bit bored where I’m working at the moment, so I’d really like a change. Your company is bigger, and the salary’s a lot better than the job I’ve got. Most importantly, I like the unfixed working hours, because I find it really hard to get up in the morning.
M: And where do you want to be in five years’ time?
connect的名词和形容词W: Australia, I hope. I don’t want to leave my family in the long term. I’m planning to stay here in Britain for a year or two. But to be honest I really want to move somewhere hot and sunny, like Mexico. But my mom won’t let me go.

All great companies start with a great idea and vision. Like Microsoft, Apple and Tencent, some of today’s most significant companies started without large office spaces. Microsoft and Apple were even created in garages! Now, I cannot promise the success of these companies, but I can share my story and vision. If you connect with this plan, we can discuss the big step—putting money into my company. First, I spent four years studying computer engineering. Through this education, I developed my plan to help others through technology. Second, I got a job in 3D printing. For anyone unfamiliar with it, this technology is used to easily print and create tools, medical supplies, clothing, etc. But so far, it’s mainly been used as a tool for factories. So, what if this technology was available to all? After just 18 months of working in 3D printing, this question became my inspiration. With your help, w
e can create 3D printing centers worldwide. Using an application, individual customers can create and order anything. Immediately, their items can be produced and picked up locally. This industry is expected to help countless people in the process.
第一部分
在听力录音播放之前,要迅速浏览题目,猜测可能填的内容,注意单词的正确形式、单词字数的限制。平时准备的时候要仔细体会录音中经常出现的同义转述。
力争在第一遍就完成80%以上的缺口,在第二遍时完成并校对所有缺口。
缺口顺序完全按照行文顺序。
在听力开始之前仔细阅读第一项文字部分,尤其是缺口部分前的字句,因为不要指望说话人会在提及缺口内容之前说出与缺口部分前的字句完全一致的字句。说话人往往说出与缺口部分前字句意思相同的其他表达,包括使用近义词,近义句等。
缺口部分包括:单个名词或形容词(通常词形比较复杂);两个名词构成的结构;一个形容词和一个名词构成的结构;动词加名词的结构;数词
缺口是名词(或名词结构)的标志是:缺口前有介词的出现。
缺口是形容词的标志是:缺口后有名词的出现。
缺口是动词(或动词结构)的标志是:缺口后有介词的出现。
缺口是数词(或数词结构)的标志是:缺口前后有number、percentage等提示词的出现。
当缺口处单词(或结构)过长时,可以在第一遍时进行速记,第二遍时完成。
当确实掌握了缺口处单词的中文意思但又想不出英文时可以用同义词代替。
第二部分
这部分是比较麻烦,难度浮动大,这跟topic的熟悉度很大关联确定谈话人的身份和主题,尝试从对话的主要内容上把握主题,破解关键可能就在于几个词的巧妙变换。
掌握每一选项的中文意思,想象在每一选项表达或描述的情况下说话人可能使用的字句。
若听到文中内容与某选项完全一致,一般大胆排除该选项。
正确选项中的表述与文中某部分内容存在同义关系。
注意说话人语气。(该方法尤其适用于判断说话人的态度)然后就是划关键词咯,第二部分语句更短,划一个词就好啦,过犹不及。不用细看,两片选项都瞄到就好。最妙的就是看得出两片的关联啦,两个部分选项是怎样相连的。
第三部分
这部分练习的时候要熟悉英音的发音规则,发音特点,语速较快,几乎每一道题都有陷阱,听力材料的笔墨着力严重不均,对于听到的以下的短语和词组一定要格外注意,如:but/however/what I really mean is等等。
