【總評(píng)】
本篇短文主要講述作為百貨商店買手的Karen Smith環(huán)游世界采購商品的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷。文章為總分結(jié)構(gòu)。

第16題,答案出現(xiàn)在文章的開頭部分,They not only have to know what is fashionable at the moment, but also have to guess what will become fashionable next season or next year. 告訴我們,買手們不但要熟知當(dāng)下的流行,并且能夠預(yù)測下一季或是明天的流行趨勢。

句中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)選項(xiàng)中的fashion一次,根據(jù)所聽即所得原則,本題應(yīng)選擇A. The ability to predict fashion trend.

第17題,同樣考察同學(xué)們的對(duì)于細(xì)節(jié)的把握,根據(jù)文中的,Her job involves buying handicrafts from all over the world. 以及之后所例舉的國家地名等,可以知道,Karen的工作內(nèi)容與選項(xiàng)D Purchasing handicrafts from all over the world.相吻合。

第18題,問到為何Karen認(rèn)為她擁有世上最棒的工作。根據(jù)文中所提到的,Karen喜歡所有她的旅行經(jīng)歷,我們可以知道這里應(yīng)該選擇B. She is doing what she enjoys doing.

本文在聽題過程中,只需要抓住概括性的話語即可,所舉的事例都可以忽略。難度并不高。
