解析:该篇文章可以归纳为四级听力当中的求职面试类,且遵循了首尾出题的““首尾技巧”,22和25题均是这样的题,请大家听懂第一句the job that was in the paper last night.”,即22题的答案就出来了;接近结尾处听到receiving your application in writing即可;且根据昂立四六级所说的“跟着问题走”,这边文章就会比较稳妥,第23题紧跟着就来了:it was just right for me.”;而24题有着比较明显的定位词Geneva,这样的地名因为不熟悉,反而很突兀,所以学生比较会去关注,这就是我们课堂上常说的,要有做笔记的习惯,一旦记下,分数就到手了。

所以总结来看,这两篇长对话的难度基本与往年持平,大家只要遵循解题技巧,集中注意力,做好预读,应该是能抓住分数的。
