Section1

原文摘抄

MICHAEL: I recently shipped my belongings from overseas back here to Australia and I took out insurance with your company. Some items were damaged during the move so I need to make a claim. What do I have to do?

……

JUDY: Okay ... where were the goods shipped from?

MICHAEL: China, but the ship came via Singapore and was there for about a week.

JUDY: Don't worry, all of that information will be in the?documentation. Now, the dates. Do you know when the ship arrived?

MICHAEL: It left on the 11th of October and got to Sydney on the 28th of November.

JUDY: Okay. I need one more thing. There's a reference number. It should be in the top right-hand comer of the pink form they gave you.

MICHAEL: Let me have a look. I have so many papers. Yes, here it is. It's 601 ACK.

……

MICHAEL: Well, we have a lovely set of china plates and dishes, you know, with matching cups, saucers, the lot. They were all in the one box which must have got dropped because some plates were broken - six actually.

同義詞替換

22 carry parasites=原文中的infested with mites

23 題干：What point is made about Australian bees??

sold to customers abroad=原文中的exports native Queen bees to a large number of countries。

24 the country's economy would be affected=原文中的We could lose a lot of money

Looking for Asian honey bees

Birds called Rainbow Bee Eaters eat only?25?, and cough up small bits of skeleton and other products in a pellet.

Researchers go to the locations the bee eaters like to use for?26

They collect the pellets and take them to a?27for analysis.

Here?28is used to soften them, and the researchers look for the?29of Asian bees in the pellets.

The benefit of this research is that the result is more?30than searching for live Asian bees.

解析：

25.注意同義轉(zhuǎn)換,題干中的only對(duì)應(yīng)原文中的as long as。

26.要注意同義詞定位和信息前置,題干中的location=原文中的spots，且該詞出現(xiàn)在答案feeding之后。

27.定位關(guān)鍵詞：collect, take；?for analysis對(duì)應(yīng)原文中的to examine。

28.注意同義詞定位以及句子結(jié)構(gòu)的變化。題千中的soften=原文中的moisten；原文是主動(dòng)句，而題干是被動(dòng)句。

Section 4

Research on questions about doctors

I've been doing some research into what people in Britain think of doctors, the ones who work in general practice - the first call for medical care - and comparing this with?the situation in a couple of other countries. I want to talk about the?rationale?behind what I decided to do.

我一直在做一些調(diào)查，研究英國(guó)人如何看待醫(yī)生，也就是那些工作在全科醫(yī)學(xué)的人——全科醫(yī)學(xué)是醫(yī)療保健最初的說(shuō)法一并與其他國(guó)家的情況進(jìn)行比較。我想談一談我決定這樣做的基本原理。

Now I had to set up my programme of research in three different countries so I approached postgraduates in my field in overseas departments, contacting them by email, to organise things for me at their end. I thought I would have trouble recruiting help but in fact everyone was very willing and sometimes their tutors got involved too.現(xiàn)在我要在三個(gè)不同的國(guó)家建立我的研究計(jì)劃，所以我通過(guò)電子郵件聯(lián)系了海外部同領(lǐng)域的研究生，安排他們?yōu)槲易鲆恍┦虑?。我本想沒(méi)有那么容易可以獲得幫助，但事實(shí)上每個(gè)人都非常愿意幫我，有時(shí)他們的導(dǎo)師也參與了。

I had to give my helpers clear instructions about what kind of sample population I wanted them to use. I decided that people under 18 should be excluded because most of them are students or looking for their first job, and also I decided at this stage just to focus on men who were in employment, and set up something for people who didn't have jobs and for employed women later on as a separate investigation.我必須給我的幫助者明確說(shuō)明我希望他們用什么樣的樣本人口。我認(rèn)為18歲以下的人應(yīng)該被排除在外，因?yàn)樗麄冎械拇蠖鄶?shù)都是學(xué)生或者是在尋找他們的第一份工作，我也在這個(gè)階段決定把重點(diǎn)放在那些有工作的男人身上，然后再為那些沒(méi)有工作的人和有工作的女性做一個(gè)單獨(dú)的調(diào)查。

I specifically wanted to do a?questionnaire, and interviews with a focus group. With the?questionnaire, rather than limiting it to one specific point, I wanted to include as much variety as possible. I know questionnaires are a very controlled way to do things but I thought I could do taped interviews later on to?counteract?the effects of this. And the focus group may also prove useful in future, by targeting subjects I can easily return to, as the participants tend to be more involved.我特別想做一個(gè)問(wèn)卷調(diào)查，并與關(guān)注的小組做訪談。就調(diào)查問(wèn)卷而言，我并不想把調(diào)查問(wèn)卷限制到一個(gè)某個(gè)特定的點(diǎn)。我想有更多多樣性。我知道問(wèn)卷是一種可以控制的方式，但我想我可以做一些錄音采訪，以抵消這種影響。而重點(diǎn)小組也可能在未來(lái)證明是很有用的，通過(guò)了解受訪者，我可以很容易地回到多樣性，因?yàn)槭茉L者通常是各種各樣的。

So I'm just collating the results now. At the moment it looks as if, in the UK, despite the fact that newspapers continually report that people are unhappy with medical care, in fact it is mainly the third level of care, which takes place in hospitals, that they are worried about. Government reforms have been proposed at all levels and although their success is not guaranteed, long-term hospital care is in fact probably less of an issue than the media would have us believe. However, I've still got quite a bit of data to look at.所以我現(xiàn)在只是校對(duì)結(jié)果。在英國(guó)盡管報(bào)紙不斷報(bào)道，人們對(duì)醫(yī)療保健不滿意，事實(shí)上，人們擔(dān)心的主要是在醫(yī)院的第三級(jí)醫(yī)療保健。各級(jí)政府已經(jīng)提出了改革，盡管他們不一定能成功，但長(zhǎng)期的醫(yī)療保健實(shí)際上可能沒(méi)有媒體宣傳的那么多。然而，我仍然有相當(dāng)多的數(shù)據(jù)看。

Certainly I will need to do more far-reaching research than I had anticipated in order to establish if people want extra medical staff invested in the community, or if they want care to?revert?to fewer, but larger, key medical units. The solution may well be something that can be easily implemented by those responsible in local government, with central government support of course.當(dāng)然，我需要做比我預(yù)期更加深遠(yuǎn)的研究，以確定人們是想要社區(qū)有額外的醫(yī)療人員，還是他們想要回到更精更大的重點(diǎn)醫(yī)療機(jī)構(gòu)。解決問(wèn)題的方法可能是當(dāng)?shù)卣?fù)責(zé)人員容易實(shí)施又有中央政府支持的項(xiàng)目。

This first stage has proved very valuable though. I was surprised by how willing most of the subjects were to get involved in the project -1 had expected some unwillingness to answer questions honestly. But I was taken?aback?and rather concerned that something I thought I'd set up very well didn't necessarily seem that way to everyone in my own department.但是可以證明這第一階段非常寶貴。我驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)，實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)象都非常愿意參與這個(gè)項(xiàng)目——當(dāng)然也有些不愿意坦誠(chéng)回答問(wèn)題的人。我還很意外，很擔(dān)心，盡管我覺(jué)得我的一些設(shè)計(jì)很好，但未必系里所有的同事都會(huì)這么認(rèn)為。

I thought you might also be interested in some of the problems I encountered in collecting my data. There were odd cases that threw me - one of the subjects who I had approached while he was out shopping in town, decided to pull out when it came to the second round. It was a shame as it was someone who I would like to have interviewed more closely.我想你可能也對(duì)我收集的數(shù)據(jù)中遇到的一些問(wèn)題感興趣。有些奇怪的案例把我難住了——有這樣一個(gè)受訪者，我第一次找到他是他正在城里購(gòu)物，到了第二階段他卻決定退出采訪。這是一個(gè)恥辱，因?yàn)槲蚁胍舆M(jìn)一步地采訪他。

And one of the first-year students I interviewed wanted?reassurance?that no names would be?traceable?from the answers. I was so surprised, because they think nothing of telling you about themselves and their opinions in seminar groups!還有一個(gè)我采訪的一個(gè)年級(jí)學(xué)生一直要我們保證說(shuō)答案并不能看出回答者是誰(shuí)。我很驚訝，因?yàn)樗麄儾幌胩拐\(chéng)自己也不想在討論組里表達(dá)自己的想法！

Then, one of the people that I work with got a bit funny. The questions were quite personal and one minute he said he'd do it, then the next day he wouldn't, and in the end he did do it. It's hard not to get angry in that situation but I tried to keep focused on the overall picture in order to stay calm.然后，還有些人會(huì)有點(diǎn)滑稽。問(wèn)題是相當(dāng)針對(duì)個(gè)人情況的，前一分鐘他說(shuō)他會(huì)做的，然后第二天，他就說(shuō)他不會(huì)那么做，但在最后他又真的去那么做了。在這種情況下，我很難不生氣，但我會(huì)看到大局以保持冷靜。

The most?bizarre?case was a telephone interview I did with a teacher at a university in France. He answered all my questions in great detail - but then when I asked how much access he had to dangerous substances he wouldn't tell me exactly what his work involved. It's a real eye-opener…最離奇的是和法國(guó)一所大學(xué)里的一位老師的電話采訪。他很詳細(xì)地回答了我所有的問(wèn)題，但當(dāng)我問(wèn)他要接觸多少危險(xiǎn)物質(zhì)的時(shí)候，他就不會(huì)告訴我他所做的工作具體是什么。這真的令人大開眼界。

31?students=原文中的postgraduates

33?get a wide range of data對(duì)應(yīng)原文中的include as much variety as possible。

36?colleagues do not always agree對(duì)應(yīng)原文中的didn't necessarily seem that way to everyone in my own department。

37?「」a person interviewed in the street ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

38?「」an undergraduate at the university ? ? ? ? ? ? ??

39?「」a colleague in her department ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??

40?「」a tutor in a foreign university ? ?

A. gave false data

B. decided to stop participating

C. refused to tell Shona about their job

D. kept changing their mind about participating

E. became very angry with Shona

F. was worried about confidentiality

正確答案：

37、B?38、F?39、D?40、C

第37 ~ 40題是搭配題。

37.B。注意同義替換；decided to stop participating=原文中的decided to pull out。

38.F。原文中提到一個(gè)一年級(jí)的本科生想讓Shona保證不讓別人知道他的名字或者信息來(lái)源；選項(xiàng)F的意思是“擔(dān)心個(gè)人信息以及隱私的泄漏”，是對(duì)原文的解釋和歸納。

39.D。原文說(shuō)的是她的一個(gè)同事在決定是否同意接受采訪這個(gè)問(wèn)題上，改變了幾次主意。

40.C。refused to tell Shona about their job對(duì)應(yīng)原文中的he wouldn't tell me exactly what his work involved。

這需要考生在聽的同時(shí)觀察所有的選項(xiàng)。另外原文也提到了天氣和旅游，因此選項(xiàng)A和D也具有一定的迷惑性。
