巧，那么找到上文劃線句子19,便可識別出正確答案為"thebrainusesupastartling20%to25%ofthebody'soverallenergy"（大腦會驚人地消耗人體整體能量的20%-25%）。Q20.該題詢問大腦能量的消耗。雖然文中未出現(xiàn)brainconsumption，但是卻出現(xiàn)了consumption的同義詞"usage"和"useup”,那么可定位到劃線句子（21）的位置，該題為典型的聽力同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換，假設(shè)平時多注重詞匯多積累該題并不難回答。Q21.文中只出現(xiàn)一處availability,那么由availability那么定位到（21）劃線局部即為正確答案?！韭犃κ鲈u】本次聽力講座的文本難度偏難，題源為LiveScience2019年文章HowManyCaloriesCantheBrainBurnbyThinking?該文章主要以國際象棋冠軍引出人身體在休息時也會消耗大量能量。三道題當(dāng)中19、21聽到關(guān)鍵詞進行定位便可得出正確答案，20題那么需要同義詞知識儲藏。雖整體聽力便難，但想得到正確答案卻相對簡單。Q22:此題屬于理解歸納題，整個第一個段落都是在講tellmeaboutyourself的說法，根據(jù)「關(guān)鍵字對照」「同義詞替換」找到意思相同的一項即可。Q23:注意as這個表示「因為」提示詞，并定位關(guān)鍵句可以找到相關(guān)的句子。Q24:根據(jù)「注意第三者出現(xiàn)的句子的原那么」關(guān)注這個friends,partners等人物，可以找到相關(guān)的選項。Q25:根據(jù)「關(guān)注if條件句原那么」可以定位到這一段，并找到oughtt。這個should的同義詞。這樣就可以找到答案。【聽力述評】商業(yè)面試方面的議論文。文章整體詞匯不難，但是語速略快。學(xué)生需要加速理解句子才可以跟上。出題方面符合出題標準。A)ItwillhavenonegativeimpactonworkItwillbeimmediatenoticeableC)ltwillsharplydecreaseworkefficiencyD)ltwillcausealotofdiscomfortA)TheytendtofavorlowertemperaturesTheysufferfromrapidtemperaturechangeTheyarenotbotheredbytemperatureextremesD)TheybecomelesssensitivetohighertemperaturesA)TheirobsessionwithconsumptionItignoredthefactthatemotionsarepersonalandsubjectiveC)ltclassifiedemotionssimplyaseitherpositiveornegativeD)ltmeasuredpositiveandnegativeemotionsindependentA)SittingalonewithoutdoinganythingseemedreallydistressingB)Solitudeadverselyaffectedtheparticipants'mentalwell-beingC)Sittingalonefor15minutesmadetheparticipantsrestlessD)Solitudehadareductiveeffectiveonhigh-arousalemotions18.A)ItprovedhardtodepictobjectivelyB)ItwenthandinhandwithsadnessC)lthelpedincreaselow-arousalemotionsD)lttendedtointensifynegativeemotionsA)ItusesupmuchlessenergythanitdoesindeepthinkingItremainsinactivewithoutburningcaloriesnoticeablyC)ltcontinuestoburnupcaloriestohelpusstayinshapeD)ltconsumesalmostaquarterofthebody'stotalenergy.A)MuchoftheconsumptionhasnothingtodowithconsciousactivitiesB)IthassomethingtodowiththedifficultyoftheactivitiesinquestionC)EnergyusagedevotedtoactivelearningaccountsforabigpartofitD)AsignificantamountofitisforperformingdifficultcognitivetasksA)ItisbelievedtoremainbasicallyconstantItisaprerequisiteforanymentalactivityC)ltisconducivetorelievingmentalexhaustionD)ltisthoughttoberelatedtofoodconsumptionA)JobcandidatesrarelytakeitseriouslyB)JobseekerstendtohaveareadyanswerC)JobseekersoftenfeelatalosswheretostartinansweringitD)Jobcandidatescanrespondfreelyduetoits,open-endednature23A)Followtheircareercoaches,guidelinesB)StrivetotakecontroloftheirnarrativeC)Dotheirbesttoimpresstheinterviewer.D)RepeattheinformationontheirresumeA)ToreflectontheirpastachievementsaswellasfailureB)Toproduceexamplesfordifferentinterviewquestions.C)Todiscussimportantdetailstheyaregoingtopresent.D)ToidentifyabroadgeneralstrengthtoelaborateonA)GettingacquaintedwiththehumanresourcespersonnelB)FindingoutwhythecompanyprovidesthejobOpeningC)FiguringoutwhatbenefitsthecompanyisabletoofferthemDTailoringtheirexpectationstothecompany'slong-termgoals聽力原文Conversation1W:thisisunbelievable,unlikeanyvideogameI'veeverplayedbefore.Itzssoboringyetsorelaxingatthesametime.Howdidyouhearaboutthisdrivingsimulator?M:mybrotherintroducedittomelastyear.I'msurprisedtofindhoweducationalandrealisticitwas.itiscalledEurotrucksimulatorbutwehaveotherversionsaswellforAmericansandsoon.Iwasreallydrawntothescenery.Theroutesworkofthreepartsofthecountryyoudon'tknow.W:YeahIcanseethat.Theyseemsosimple,justtransportingcargofrompointatopointb,drivingfromonecitytoanother.ButIreallyappreciateallthedetailsthatgointothegame.It'sevengivingmeanewappreciationforthelogisticsindustryliketrafficintheroad.M:Icompletelyagree.mybrotheralsointroducedmetosomevideosofsomeonethatdisplaytheirgamesonline.Itwasfascinatingtowatchreally.Thisguycandriveverycarefully,obeyalltheroadsignsandtrafficrules.Suchacontrasttomostwongames.W:Honestly,playinghasinspiredmetolookintotheindustrymore.Ireadarticlesabouthowself-drivingtruckswithyoubeavailableandcouldgreatlyimpactcargologistics.Consideringallthatgoesintodrivingislargervehicles.It'samazingthatwecouldsoonhavethatkindoftechnologyM:Tvegotonestepfurther.1registertotakeasafedrivingcoursetoimprovemyreallifedrivingskills.InawayIfeellikeIhavemyheadstartcomparedtootherstudentsintheclass.PlayingthisvideogamehasgivenmesomemaneuveringpracticealreadyW:Iamnotsurehowaccuratethevideogameiscomparedtoreallifesituations.Butifitresultsinmoredriverslookingbothwaysbeforeenteringanintersection.I'dsaythatisthepositivewelcome.QI.whatarethespeakersmainlytalkingabout?Q2.whatdoesthemansayaboutthedrivingsimulator?Q3.whatdoesthewomansayshereallyappreciates?Q4.whatoutcomedidthiswomanexpectfromthedrivingsimulator?Conversation2W:Howdoyoulikebeingselfemployed?M:5.Therewereobviousbenefitsforwedon'tseemtohavethefreedomIanticipatedasIjustdoneseemedabletodeclineworkoffers.AndworkingalonetherehavebeentimeswhenIfoundthatmoneyaloneprovidesinsufficientmotivationhaveexperiencedthesamesinceshebeganworkingforyourself?W:Sometimesyesandwiththerestofth
