题目内容

听力原文:M: Are you looking forward to your job interview tomorrow?
W: I'm a bit nervous about it. When you interview people, what do you look for?
M: Well, a lot of people think it's about your qualifications and experience, but actually they aren't so important in the interview.
W: Really? Why not?
M: Well, your qualifications and experience have already been listed on your CV and in your cover letter. The interviewer might want to know how you think your previous experience relates to the job offer, but...
W: I see. So what's the main purpose of the interview?
M: The interviewer wants to see what kind of person you are and decide whether you will fit in with the other employees. The interviewer wants to see if you have the right personality for the job.
W: You also have to give the right answers to their questions.
M: Usually, there are no "right" answers. Obviously, you don't want to say anything silly, but each question can be answered in different ways. The important thing is to be articulate.
W: Articulate?
M: Yes. Communication skills are valued by almost all employers nowadays. A person who can express themselves clearly and successfully is considered a real asset.
W: Why's that? Surely communication skills can't outweigh qualifications and experience.
M: Good communication skills are vital because if there are breakdowns in communication, it would cost the company time and money. Communication skills might not outweigh qualifications and experience, but as I've said before, the interviewer has already seen those on your CV.
W: So, you mean your CV shows you have the qualifications and experience and gets you into the interview room. After that, other factors take over — particularly communication skills and your personality.
M: Right.
W: I was always told that the way you look is a key factor, too.
M: Well, of course you should always look smart, clean, and fairly formal. Whatever some people say, the way you look does create an impression on others.
W: I'll be sure to wear my best outfit then!

听力原文: Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions. Gone was my father's critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him than at that moment. After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I'm delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

听力原文: Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example, someone might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"
This guy's a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!
He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, "During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs!" That's true. However, an honest statement would have been, "During Governor Smith's term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs."
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, "Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache." It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. How much did the lottery winner lose?
34. What does the speaker believe people should do?
35. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?
(30)

A. One hundred dollars.
B. Two hundred dollars.
C. Three hundred dollars.
D. Four hundred dollars.
