23. A) A training coach. A) 教練員。
　　B) A trading adviser. B) 商業(yè)顧問。
　　C) A professional manager. C) 職業(yè)經(jīng)理。
　　D) A financial trader. D) 金融交易商。
　　【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. A) He can save on living expenses. A) 他可以節(jié)省生活費用。
　　B) He considers cooking creative. B) 他認為烹飪是具有創(chuàng)新性的。
　　C) He can enjoy healthier food. C) 他喜歡健康食物。采集者退散
　　D) He thinks take-away is tasteless. D) 他覺得外帶食品不好吃。
　　【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。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)了關鍵詞creative，選項B與之相符，故選擇B選項。
　　25. A) It is something inevitable. A) 是某種不可避免的事情。
　　B) It is frustrating sometimes. B) 有時候令人沮喪。
　　C) It takes patience to manage. C) 它需要耐心來管理。
　　D) It can be a good thing. D) 它可能是件好事。
　　【聽音指導】本題是細節(jié)加評論題，關鍵要弄清楚各選項中it所指代的內容。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鍵詞uncertainty，此題便可輕易而解，選項A正確。
　　【原文及譯文】
　　W: So, why exactly does your job have a 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’ve had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away. To do something my brain would regard as creative.
　　W: Do you think what you do for relaxation 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, it 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 a 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.
　　23: What is the man’s job?
　　24: Why does the man prefer to cook a meal rather than have a take-away?
　　25: What does the man say about an element of stress in his job?
　　女士：那么，到底為什么你的工作以緊張出名呢?
　　男士：當人們束手無策或感覺被控制時，就會有壓力感。金融市場上的交易正是這兩者的結合。
　　女士：你晚上如何放松?
　　男士：我很少做與工作有關的事情，所以很容易逃脫市場。我通常去健身房或是出去跑步。尤其是在我感覺某天很糟糕的時候，更是如此。我總是做飯，而不是叫外賣。做點兒有創(chuàng)意的事。
　　女士：你認為你放松自己的方法對消除壓力有效嗎?
　　男士：消除壓力沒有特定的法寶。總的來說，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我所做的一切對我來說都是有效的。
　　女士：你是否因壓力大而考慮換工作呢?
　　男士：因為壓力的因素我曾考慮過離開我的工作。但是，我認為壓力是一件好事。如果運用得當，壓力實際上是有益的。
　　女士：你喜歡工作中的哪些壓力?
　　男士：說了這么多，我的確喜歡不確定因素。我喜歡挑戰(zhàn)。交易會在瞬間產(chǎn)生一系列大范圍的情緒波動。你如何處理及管理這些情緒支配著中短期及長期交易業(yè)績和成功。
　　23：男士的工作是什么?
　　24：為什么男士喜歡做飯，而不是叫外賣?
　　25：關于工作中的壓力感，男士說了什么?

　　篇章結構
　　本次四級聽力篇章從內容難度上來講，比2009年6月的更難。此篇文章屬于天文類，講的是除地球以外的星球上形成生命的可能性。曾經(jīng)科學家們認為其他星球上存在生命的可能性不大，但是現(xiàn)在科學家在漸漸地定位那些有可能會形成生命的地方。文章對此舉了一個例子，就是木星的一個衛(wèi)星，叫木衛(wèi)二。

　　話題詞匯

　　Jupiter n. 木星
　　moon n. 衛(wèi)星，月球
　　nitrogen n. 氮
　　planet n. 行星，星球
　　volcanic activity 火山活動
　　難句解析
　　1. Since early times, people have been fascinated with the idea of life existing somewhere else besides earth.
　　【解析】since early times作時間狀語，主句主語為people，謂語為be fascinated with，即“對……著迷”，著迷的對象是idea of life，existing somewhere else besides earth為現(xiàn)在分詞作定語修飾名詞life。
　　2. The probes have also made scientists think that under its surface Europa has a rocky core giving off volcanic heat.
　　【解析】本句主句部分謂語成分為make sb. do sth.，讓某人做某事，that引出think的從句。從句的主語為Europa，giving off volcanic heat作定語修飾has的賓語a rocky core。
　　試題詳解
　　26. A) There were no planets without moons. A) 除了衛(wèi)星外沒有行星。
　　B) There was no air or water on Jupiter. B) 在木星上沒有空氣或水。
　　C) Life was not possible in outer space. C) 在外空是沒有生命的。
　　D)The mystery of life could not be resolved D) 生命的奧秘是不能解決的。
　　【聽音指導】預覽選項，可知本題考查細節(jié)事實題。鑒于此題位于本短文的題，答案應在初幾句中找到，具體的說，是在開頭30秒。選項D與其他三項明顯不同，可初步排除。聽音時關注no planets，no air or water還是no life。
　　【正確項分析】題問的是科學家曾經(jīng)(once)相信什么事實?那么根據(jù)我們的理解，應該是他們認為外太空不可能存在生命。這個答案出現(xiàn)在原文的第二句，原文是Until recently, scientists believed that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream，意為科學家們認為在其他星球上存在生命只不過是個充滿希望的夢。故選擇C項。
　　27. A) It has a number of active volcanoes. A) 有很多活火山。
　　B) It has an atmosphere like the earth’s. B) 有像地球上的大氣層。
　　C) It has a large ocean under its surface. C) 在它的表面有一個大海洋。
　　D) It has deep caves several miles long. D) 有幾英里長的深洞穴。
　　【聽音指導】通過選項即可確定本題為對于某一事物的細節(jié)描述題，所以首先要解決各選項中it所指的內容。由題選項可初步推測，本題很可能考查的是對一個星球的描述。
　　【正確項分析】問題為科學家在木衛(wèi)二星球上找到什么，那么應該是Space probes have provided evidence that Europa has a large ocean under its surface，意為航空觀測鏡發(fā)現(xiàn)了星球表面下有個大的海洋。C選項與原文一模一樣。
　　28. A) Light is not an essential element to it. A) 光不是必備因素。
　　B) Life can form in very hot temperatures. B) 生命在很熱的溫度下能夠形成。
　　C) Every form of life undergoes evolution. C) 每種生命的形成都需要進化。
　　D) Oxygen is not needed for some life forms. D) 氧在生命形成過程中沒有必要。
　　【聽音指導】根據(jù)慣例，后一個問題答案出現(xiàn)在篇章結束前三十秒左右，選項均涉及生命形成因素，分別為light，hot temperatures，evolution和oxygen，根據(jù)這些信息，可輕易在短文結束前找到答案。
　　【正確項分析】注意轉折連詞but前后，原文為Until recently, scientists thought that light was essential. But now, places have been found on earth that are in total blackness such as caves several miles beneath the ocean. And bacteria, primitive forms of life, have been seen there。意為科學家一直以為光是很重要的，但是現(xiàn)在他們發(fā)現(xiàn)完全黑暗的地方—比如幾英里深的洞里，也有生命，即細菌。可見，光不是必備因素，選項A正確。
　　原文及譯文
　　Since early times, people have been fascinated with the idea of life existing somewhere else besides earth. Until recently, scientists believed that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream. But now they are beginning to locate places where life could form. In 1997, they saw evidence of planets near other stars like the sun. But scientists now think that life could be even nearer in our own solar system. One planet scientists are studying very closely is Europa, a moon of Jupiter. Space probes have provided evidence that Europa has a large ocean under its surface. The probes have also made the scientists think that under its surface Europa has a rocky core giving off volcanic heat. Water and heat from volcanic activity are two basic conditions needed for life to form. A third is certain basic chemicals such as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. Scientists believe there might be such chemicals lying at the bottom of Europa’s ocean. They may have already created life or may be about to. You may wonder if light is also needed for life to form. Until recently, scientists thought that light was essential. But now, places have been found on earth that are in total blackness such as caves several miles beneath the ocean. And bacteria, primitive forms of life have been seen there. So the lack of light in Europa’s sub-surface ocean doesn’t automatically rule out life forming.
　　26. What did scientists once believe according to the passage?
　　27. What have scientists found about Europa, a moon of Jupiter?
　　28. What have scientists come to know recently about the formation of life?
　　從很早以前，人們一直迷戀著地球以外的地方也存在生命的想法。直到近來，科學家們認為在其他星球上存在生命只不過是個充滿希望的夢。但是，現(xiàn)在他們開始查找可能有生命的地方。1997年，科學家們在恒星附近，例如太陽，發(fā)現(xiàn)了行星的蹤跡。科學家們現(xiàn)在認為生命可能我們更近，就在太陽系內。科學家們正密切關注的地方是木衛(wèi)二，木星的一個衛(wèi)星。太空探測器提供了證據(jù)表明木衛(wèi)二表層之下有一個海洋。探測器也讓科學家們認為木衛(wèi)二表層有散發(fā)出火山熱的巖石核心。火山活動的水和熱量是生命形成的兩個基本條件。第三個是一些基本的化學物質，如碳、氧和氮。科學家們認為在木衛(wèi)二海洋底部可能存在這樣的化學成分。他們可能已經(jīng)創(chuàng)造了生命或即將產(chǎn)生生命。你可能在想光也是生命形成的必要條件。直到近，科學家們仍認為光是不可或缺的。但現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)在地球上發(fā)現(xiàn)，海洋幾英里之下的黑暗的洞穴內有細菌，即原始生命形式的存在。所以不能排除缺乏光的木衛(wèi)二地下海洋有生命形成的可能性。
