25、【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 18到 22题探讨的是提高会议效率的一些建议，即从哪些方面努力，能够使会议获得更好的效果。第一段讲话中，讲话人表明，对于这种纯粹是作秀的会议，真的是浪费参会者的时间，他说道 “For the whole meeting， I felt like a fool， wasting my time.”由此，他建议组织方一定要确保合适的参会者来参加会议，甚至可以在重要人员缺席的条件下推迟会议的召开。在讲话中出现了一些非常重要的提示词，如 “Id suggest”，还有 “otherwise”；考生在听音时如果能留意此类常用的词语，将极大提高准确度。材料中有这样的句子为证

26、： “that the organizers ensure the appropriate participants at the meeting”，接着又补充说 “they could eve n postpone the meeting rather than holding a meeting without critical staff members”，这些表述都同选项 B的表达一致： “Invite appropriate participants at the meeting.”(必须挑选合适的人员参加会议 )，因此 B是正确答案。 14 【正确答案】 G 【试题解析】 其实本题

27、的解题关键在这样一句话 “A meeting is considered incomplete if no one cares about the following-ups.”也就是说，如果没有做好会议的后续工作，这次会议就不完整，就没有意义。而且，讲话人还指明了一个现象： “not seeing anyone doing the minutes” ，居然召开会议而无人做会议记录 !这让他非常惊讶。依照商务常识，一般的会议都要有比较完整的会议记录，作为进行下一步工作的参考。而该公司开会却没有记录，这确实不合常规。后面的几句话都在论述会议记录的重要性，她最后强调： “I believe uti

28、lizing a few minutes at the end would be very useful to review any major new projects or action items that were generated in the meeting.”(我认为，在会议结束时，利用会议记录可以非常有效地帮助大家回顾在本次会议中提出的一些重要的新项目或者行动目标 )。因此本题的正确答案为 G。 15 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 讲话人承认，由于会议经常偏题，他感到有些无可奈何。然而，与会者的积极 性是不能轻易打击的，否则会场的气氛就会变得沉闷，会议的效率依然无法提高。他

29、给出的建议是，首先要明确会议的议题 “why this meeting is happening”(为何要召开此次会议 )，而且保证每个人的发言时间 “each person is participating at a given time”，而且关键是要利用 “日程表 ”(agenda)进行监控。从这里我们看出，他所谈到的都是与会议的议题 (theme)和日程 (agenda)相关的内容，所以正确选择为 E。 16 【正确答案】 D 【 试题解析】 讲话人注意到与会者对会议缺乏足够的重视，不够严肃；例如一谈到重要事情大家就沉默，而谈到琐事则兴致很高。她认为每个参会者都应该充分地参与进来，而不

30、应该表现出漠不关心 (uninterested)或者懒惰 (lazy)的态度；或许有人根本无法正确理解会议的议题 (not everyone call fully understand those important topics)。听力材料中有这样一句话 “they should be invested in the topic 0f the meeting and in the follow-up”，从而能够保证每个人的参与，只有这样才能提高会议的效率，取得更丰硕的成果 “accomplish more results”， 最终让大家都畅所欲言，而不是由一两个人来统治整个会议，造成一言堂。

31、由此判断选项 D正确。 17 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 讲话人谈到南于缺乏足够的规划 (lack of planning)，该公司的会议一贯冗长拖沓。他觉得解决问题的关键在于事前的准备工作，会议进程中的重复虽然是个普遍现象，但作为会议的组织者，则有充分的责任来避 免该现象的发生。准备的工作其实也很简单，只要提前让参会者浏览相关文件或者信息，准备一下各自的发言，效率就能极大提高。在独白的最后，他再次强调了自己的观点，虽然这种做法很老套，也有些 boring，但是 “solid preparation is the key to successful meeting”充分的准备是会议成功的关

32、键。这句话正好与选项 A相对应。 三、 PART THREE 18 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 题干问的是在哪些方面 Olivia的弟弟帮助她。从 The thing about working with family is that you know theyre going to be there tomorrow. You can employ other key people, but then if you upset them, theyll probably leave. 和家人一起工作的好处就是你知道他们明天还会在那儿，即，家人总会支持你。而他人，只要你惹他们生气，他们就会辞职。可知， A项正确。 B项她弟弟不会惹她生气和 C项他能长时间地工作，对话中没有提及。
