注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
Passage One
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
篇章类题目还是需要关注文章开头3句和结尾3句，这两处是最易出题并且喜欢以原文出现答案。26题，开篇第一句就出示了答案：“Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers”；30题第二句：“If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager.”，后面还有几句在继续说这个问题，如果这句没听出来，可根据后面的意思也能猜测出答案，如：“Be polite. Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere.”；33题开头第三句：“before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government.”。另外，篇章1将近结尾处出现“Half of our managers are women.”既是28题答案。篇章2结尾处也出现了“Be business-like and stick to the point. Don’t spend a paragraph on how your Uncle Joe tried to fix the problem and couldn’t”作者亦指出投诉要抓住要点，不要长篇大论。
“听到什么选什么原则”除了上面的26、28、30、32、33之外，篇章2出现“You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you can not see, so you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting”，31题答案几乎原文出现；篇章3中段也同样出现了”If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week”，所以34题正确答案“Do some volunteer work”。另外，35题原文中“not think…..can replace”被“is no replacement for…”替换。
整体篇章类没有特别较难的题目，难度自passage one 依次递减。三篇文章内容虽然有趣，但是做题游刃有余还是不容易，passage one 是三篇中较难的一篇，但是由于篇头篇尾规矩的以原文出现答案，降低了题目的难度。后两篇比较贴近生活，边听边看，确定哪个选项能够最大程度的吻合。
