　　答案
　　23、【聽音指導】本題為本長對話的題，出題點必在對話開始，由選項可知，本題涉及職業(yè)， 對于職業(yè)的考查也是前幾年四級考試的重點。
　　【正確項分析】男士在文中明確提及trading in financial markets，根據(jù)同義推斷原理，可推斷該男士的職業(yè)是financial trader.
　　24、【聽音指導】預覽選項，可知選項A與其他三項明顯不同，可初步排除。本題與食物或烹飪有關(guān)。所以在聽音過程中，如提及cooking或food，應多加注意，適時記錄。
　　【正確項分析】 聽音過程中聽到此句I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away，即可知答案就在附近，接下來的一句To do something my brain will regard as creative中，出現(xiàn)了關(guān)鍵詞creative，選項B與之相符，故選擇B選項。
　　25、【聽音指導】本題是細節(jié)加評論題，關(guān)鍵要弄清楚各選項中it所指代的內(nèi)容。本文出現(xiàn)頻率多的詞是stress，可大膽推測，此題考查的是對stress的評述。本題又是此長對話的后一題，答案應在聽力對話的后兩句。
　　【正確項分析】I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. 只要抓住此句中的一個關(guān)鍵詞uncertainty，此題便可輕易而解，選項A正確。
　　原文
　　Conversation 2
　　W: So, why exactly does your job have reputation for being stressful?
　　M: Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you. Trading in financial markets combines both.
　　W: How do you relax in the evening?
　　M: I very rarely do anything work-related so it’s easy to escape the markets. I generally go to the gym or go for a run, especially if I had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away. To do something my brain will regard as creative.
　　W: Do you think what you do to relax is an effective way to beat stress?
　　M: I don’t think there is a specific rule about how to beat stress. I generally find out what I do is effective for me.
　　W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?
　　M: I have considered leaving my job due to stress-related factors. However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing. And if used the right way can actually be a positive thing. 　　
　　W: What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?
　　M: Having said all that, I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. I enjoy mental challenge. Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second. How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short medium and long term trading performance and success.
