2015年12月·第3套 英语四级听力真题原文与答案解析

What can we learn about the MH370 tragedy from the news report?

已完成动作的陈述句。这句用现在完成时 have filed a lawsuit against Malaysia Airlines 直陈一个已经发生的事实——家属已起诉航空公司，是报道里少数被明确坐实的进展，正好对应选项 A，所以它是答案句。其余强陈述（找到遗体、查明原因）原文全程没坐实。

• relatives of Chinese passengers on the missing flight have filed a lawsuit against Malaysia Airlines↔A lawsuit has been filed against Malaysia Airlines.主动转被动同一事

• B)未提及原文从头到尾没提到找到任何乘客遗体——被发现的是 a piece of debris（一块残骸），不是人。The missing passengers' bodies have been found. 把“残骸”偷换成“遗体”，是凭常识脑补出来的，原文无据。
• C)与原文相反原文里专家只是 studying a piece of debris，且明说 If it's confirmed to be a piece of the missing flight——连残骸身份都还没确认，更谈不上揭晓失联原因。The cause of the disappearance has been unveiled. 把“还在研究、尚待确认”说成“原因已揭晓”，与原文的未定状态相反。

  借用原文：If it's confirmed to be a piece of the missing flight

• D)偷换概念原文明说航班 vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing——从吉隆坡飞往北京。Flight MH370 got lost during its trip to Hong Kong. 盗用了“航班失联途中”这层意思，却把目的地从 Beijing 偷改成 Hong Kong，是听到 got lost 就想选、却没核对地名的陷阱。

  借用原文：vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing

Where was the first debris of the missing MH370 found?

second 反衬出 first 在哪。题干问 first（第一块），原文先说莫桑比克这块若确认将是 the second（第二块），紧接着才点出真正的第一块——a section of the plane's wing was found off Reunion Island。是 second 这个序数词信号反衬出：留尼汪岛那次才是 first。听 where 题要抓住这种 first/second 的次序词来对号。

• a section of the plane's wing was found off Reunion Island↔In Reunion Island.地名原样保留

• A)原词陷阱莫桑比克确实在原文里出现——a piece of debris found last week on a beach in Mozambique，但那是上周新发现、且若确认将是 the second 块。题干问的是 first，On a beach in Mozambique. 盗用了刚念到的、印象最深的地名，却答非所问。

  借用原文：a piece of debris found last week on a beach in Mozambique

• B)原词陷阱原文里 Malaysia Airlines 反复出现，但那是航空公司名（马航），不是残骸发现地；马来西亚只是航班始发国。In Malaysia. 把频繁听到的 Malaysia 一词错当成发现地点。

  借用原文：Malaysia Airlines

• D)张冠李戴In Beijing 在原文出现过，但说的是航班目的地、以及家属在北京起诉，与残骸发现地无关。In Beijing. 盗用了这个地名，却挂错了事件。

  借用原文：In Beijing, relatives of Chinese passengers on the missing flight have filed a lawsuit

Why did many refugees move into the settlements?

because 引出原因。答案句靠一个明摆着的因果信号锁定：because they are cheaper than living in flats or apartments in town 里的 because 直接引出“搬进来”的原因，because 后面那半句就是答案落点。这与第一步“专候 because/cheaper”的预备完全对上。

• cheaper than living in flats or apartments in town↔it is cheaper for them to live here同义压缩

• A)原词陷阱Because they are used to living here. 盗用了录音里的 They are not used to these conditions. 中的 used to 来诱选：录音明说他们“不习惯”这些条件，选项却改成“住惯了”，正好把原文的否定 not 抹掉、意思反转，听到 used to 就选必中陷阱。

  借用原文：They are not used to these conditions.

• C)与原文相反Because it is easier for them to get a job. 盗用了录音里的 job 来诱选：录音说的是 It is practically impossible to find a job（几乎找不到工作），选项却说成“更容易找到工作”，把“找不到”偷换成“好找”，与原文相反，听到 job 就选会落坑。

  借用原文：It is practically impossible to find a job

• D)未提及Because the government forced them to live here. 说是“政府强迫他们住这里”，但录音通篇只讲他们因为便宜而“主动搬入”（Many have moved into the settlements because they are cheaper），从未提到任何政府强制，属凭常识想当然添加的原因。

What made the conditions of settlements worse for the refugees?

worsened 点出结果。答案句靠“结果信号”锁定：A snowstorm over the weekend worsened conditions for many families 里的 worsened（使……恶化）正对题干的 made…worse，紧挨这个结果词、作主语的 snowstorm 就是起因。听到“使条件变差”这层意思，主语即答案。

• A snowstorm over the weekend worsened conditions↔The snowstorm.原词即答案

• B)张冠李戴The bombing. 盗用了录音结尾难民引语里的 barrel bombs and shelling（桶装炸弹与炮击）来诱选：但那是难民形容“冷比死亡、炸弹、炮击更易忍受”时提到的，是背景威胁，并非“让安置点条件变糟”的那件事，把别处提到的轰炸安到本题起因上，张冠李戴。

  借用原文：barrel bombs and shelling

• C)未提及The war. 借战乱大背景诱选：全文讲的是叙利亚难民因战乱外逃，war 是隐含背景，但录音从没说“战争让安置点条件变糟”，真正点名导致恶化的是 A snowstorm over the weekend worsened conditions。听到难民题就想当然选 war 会落坑。
• D)未提及The starvation. 说是“饥饿”让条件变糟，但录音只提到 they have no income（没有收入），从未出现 starvation/饥饿，也没把任何挨饿与“条件恶化”挂钩，属由“难民→缺粮”的常识脑补。

What's the purpose of launching McChoco Potato?

attempt to 点出意图。attempt to reverse poor sales 里的 attempt to（试图、尝试去）是典型的『目的信号』，它后面跟的 reverse poor sales（扭转糟糕的销量）就是推出这款薯条的真正目的，这一句就是答案句。

• reverse poor sales↔Improving customer sales.扭转差销量＝提升销量，反义+否定转换

• A)原词陷阱录音开头确实说把巧克力薯条 adding French fries with chocolate sauce to its menu，A 项 Enriching the menu. 就盗用了 menu 这个词，但『加进菜单』只是动作本身，不是这么做的目的，目的句明确是扭转销量。听到 menu 就选 A 正中陷阱。

  借用原文：adding French fries with chocolate sauce to its menu

• B)原词陷阱录音后文说 The chocolate fries have been extremely popular with customers，B 项 Meeting customer needs. 借 customers 一词制造『满足顾客需求』的错觉，但那是产品上市后的反响，不是当初推出它的目的，目的句只谈销量。

  借用原文：extremely popular with customers

• C)与原文相反录音明说 McDonald's Japan closed hundreds of the restaurants，是大量关店，C 项 Opening new branches. 恰好说反成『开新店』，与原文方向相反，且和推薯条的目的无关。

  借用原文：McDonald's Japan closed hundreds of the restaurants

Who is Sarah Casanova?

人名紧贴头衔同位语。录音用 said McDonald's Japan's president Sarah Casanova 把头衔和人名连在一起说出来，president 紧贴 Sarah Casanova，这种『头衔+人名』的同位结构就是介绍身份的答案信号。

• McDonald's Japan's president Sarah Casanova↔McDonald's Japan's president.头衔几乎原样对应

• A)原词陷阱录音里 U.S.-based 是用来修饰开店的那家美国母公司 U.S.-based McDonald's opened its first restaurant，A 项 U.S.-based McDonald's president. 盗用 U.S.-based 拼到 president 上，但 Casanova 的头衔明明是 Japan's president，国别听错就掉坑。

  借用原文：U.S.-based McDonald's opened its first restaurant in Tokyo

• B)原词陷阱录音确有 customers 一词 popular with customers，B 项 McDonald's Japan's customer. 借它把 Casanova 说成顾客，但她被明确介绍为 president（总裁），身份不符。

  借用原文：popular with customers

• D)原词陷阱D 项 U.S.-based McDonald's customer. 同时拼凑录音里出现过的 U.S.-based 和 customer 两个词，但 Casanova 既不是美国方、也不是顾客，是把两处原词各偷一个胡乱组合，国别和身份全错。

  借用原文：U.S.-based McDonald's opened its first restaurant in Tokyo

When was the first McDonald's restaurant opened up in Tokyo?

事件词 first restaurant 配年份。题目问 first restaurant 开业时间，录音里把 opened its first restaurant in Tokyo in 1971 这件事和年份 1971 直接绑在一起，事件词（first restaurant、Tokyo）和年份同句出现，就是答案信号。

• opened its first restaurant in Tokyo in 1971↔In 1971.年份数字原样对应

• D)原词陷阱录音里 2015 was the most challenging year 的 2015 是说明那年生意最艰难，D 项 In 2015. 盗用这个显眼的近年数字，但它对应的事件是『最艰难的一年』，不是开店，张冠李戴。

  借用原文：2015 was the most challenging year we have faced

• B)未提及B 项 In 1991. 在录音中根本没被念到，它只是和真年份 1971 读音相近，用来干扰没记清数字、靠耳朵蒙的人。
• C)未提及C 项 In 1997. 同样未在录音中出现，是凭空设置的近似年份干扰项，没有任何原文依据。

What is the woman doing?

开场“welcome to…program”=主持人在主持节目。答案句的信号是开场白固定套路 welcome to this week's Business World, the program for and about business people，“欢迎收看……节目”是典型主持人开场，加上 Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kane“今晚请到嘉宾”，一听就知她正在主持一档电视访谈。

• welcome to this week's Business World, the program↔Hosting an evening TV program“欢迎收看…节目”=“主持电视节目”
• Good evening↔an evening TV programGood evening 对应 evening(晚间)

• B)原词陷阱Having her bicycle repaired. 借了原文反复出现的 bicycle/bike 来诱选，但原文里跟自行车有关的是嘉宾 Mr. Kane 开店修车，女主持只是在采访，根本没“让人修自己的车”，属听到 bicycle 就想选的陷阱。

  借用原文：has just taken over an established bicycle shop

• C)原词陷阱Lecturing on business management. 蹭了原文 Business World、business people 里的 business 一词，让人误以为和“商业”有关就选；但她是在主持节目、不是讲授“企业管理”课，属答非所问。

  借用原文：welcome to this week's Business World, the program for and about business people

• D)未提及Conducting a market survey. 里的 market survey(市场调查)在整段录音里从未出现，和访谈场景毫无关系，属凭空捏造的未提及项。

What did Mr. Kane do before he took over the bicycle shop?

被问者用 When I was working… 自报过去职业。信号是被问者(嘉宾)亲口的过去时自述 When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company，When I was… 把时间拉回“从前”，其后紧跟的职业 salesman 就是答案——对话题答案永远落在被问者的回答里。

• working full-time as a salesman for a big company↔He worked as a salesman近乎同表述：as a salesman 对 as a salesman

• A)原词陷阱He repaired bicycles. 蹭了原文 I've always loved racing bikes and fixing them 里的“修车”，诱人选；但原文说修车是他一直“热爱”的 hobby(业余爱好)，题问的是“从前的职业”，修车并非他接手店前的工作，属答非所问。

  借用原文：I've always loved racing bikes and fixing them

• B)未提及He served as a consultant. 里的 consultant(顾问)整段录音从未出现，他自报的过去职业只有 salesman，顾问纯属未提及。
• D)原词陷阱He coached in a racing club. 蹭了原文 racing bikes 的 racing，让人误以为和“赛车/比赛”有关就选；但原文只说他爱玩 racing bikes(竞速自行车)，从没说在 racing club 当 coach(教练)，属张冠李戴式拼凑。

  借用原文：I've always loved racing bikes and fixing them

Why did the man take over a bicycle shop?

愿望信号 I'd love being my own boss。答案句的信号是被问者的愿望表达 I knew I'd love being my own boss，love being…“爱上…的感觉”直接道出他自己当老板的向往，后面 Now my time is my own“时间归自己”再补一刀——这就是他接手店的真原因。

• I knew I'd love being my own boss↔He wanted to be his own bosslove being my own boss=wanted to be his own boss

• B)未提及He found it more profitable. 说“他觉得这更赚钱”，但原文谈的全是“爱好、时间自由、当老板”，从没提利润高低，属未提及。
• C)过度推断He didn't want to start from scratch. 借“接手一家 established(现成)店”这层意思来诱选，像在解释“不想从零开始”；但原文给的真原因是“爱当老板”，从没说他怕“start from scratch”，属过度推断。

  借用原文：has just taken over an established bicycle shop

• D)与原文相反He didn't want to be in too much debt. 蹭了原文 got a business loan 的“贷款”，诱人往“债务”上想；但原文里他是主动去银行办了贷款来圆梦，根本没表达“怕背太多债”，选项的否定与原文态度相反。

  借用原文：When I went down to the bank and got a business loan

What do we learn about the people working in the shop?

被问者应答 a couple of friends of mine 直接点身份。信号是被问者对“Have you hired any employees”的直接应答 a couple of friends of mine，问雇员是谁，他答“是我的几个朋友”——对话题答案就落在被问者回答这一句，friends 一词直接给出这群人的身份。

• a couple of friends of mine↔They are all the man's friendsfriends of mine=the man's friends

• A)原词陷阱They work five days a week. 蹭了原文 a few days a week 的“一周几天”，诱人听到 days a week 就选；但原文是模糊的 a few days(几天)，绝非确数 five days(五天)，属把概数偷换成具体数字。

  借用原文：They help me out a few days a week

• C)未提及They are paid by the hour. 说这些人“按小时拿工资”，但原文只说他们是朋友、来帮忙，半个字没提报酬方式，属未提及。
• D)过度推断They all enjoy gambling. 蹭了原文 we play cards 的“打牌”，让人把“玩牌”往“赌博”上联想；但原文只说没客人时打打牌、聊聊天解闷，从没说他们“好赌”，属过度推断。

  借用原文：we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers

What does the woman say about steel-related manufacturing in the region?

转折 but + 重复强调 still。前半 they are less significant 是铺垫，真正的落点在 but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% 之后，并由 So it's still very important. 再次强调——but 之后、still 反复，是定调答案的信号。

• still accounts for 44% of industrial activity↔remains a major part of industrial activity「仍占 44%」概括为「仍是主要部分」

• A)与原文相反It has gradually given way to service industry. 借了录音 they are less significant（重要性下降）的味道，把「下降」夸大成「让位给服务业」。但录音根本没提 service industry，且 but 之后立刻说仍很重要——取了转折前、丢了转折后。

  借用原文：they are less significant

• C)未提及It has a history as long as paper processing. 把录音里另一个行业 As for paper processing 拽进来，编出「和造纸业历史一样长」。录音只说两者都曾是主业，从没比过谁历史更长——属于无中生有的拼接。

  借用原文：As for paper processing

• D)原词陷阱It accounts for 80 percent of the region's GDP. 利用录音真念到的 80% of Spain's machine tools（占西班牙机床的 80%），把数字搬来改成「占该地区 GDP 的 80%」。录音的 80% 说的是机床、不是 GDP；真正和钢铁制造业挂钩的数字是 44%。

  借用原文：80% of Spain's machine tools are from the Basque Country

What problem hinders the region's development?

被问者对 geographical problems 的直接解释。男士追问 What do you mean by geographical problems?，女士的应答里直接点出 there used to be transport problems，并补充内陆小镇 remain not very well-connected——被问者的直接应答就是答案句信号。

• there used to be transport problems↔Transport problems.原词复现+后文未连通坐实

• B)未提及Shortage of funding. 听着像常见障碍，但录音通篇没出现资金、funding、money 相关字眼，属凭常识脑补的干扰。
• C)与原文相反Lack of resources. 与录音相反——12 题处女士说钢铁制造业仍占 44%、机床占全国 80%，说明该地区资源/产业基础不弱，根本没说缺资源。

  借用原文：steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity

• D)未提及Poor management. 同样是录音里完全没出现的概念，没有任何一句提到管理好坏，纯属凑选项的常见障碍词。

What will the speakers discuss later?

预告信号 we'll come back / we'll see in more detail。we'll see this in more detail 与 we'll come back to this question 是明确的「下文再谈」预告，前面 specific location suggestions for the factory 点出了要谈的议题——预告句即答案句。

• specific location suggestions for the factory↔Possible locations for a new factory.「工厂选址建议」=「新工厂的可能选址」

• A)未提及Competition from rival companies. 录音里没有任何竞争、对手、rival 的内容，是凭「办厂自然要谈竞争」脑补出来的干扰。
• B)未提及Product promotion campaigns. 同样无任何录音依据，没有一句提到产品或促销，属无中生有。
• D)原词陷阱Measures to create job opportunities. 借了录音 there's a lot of unemployment（失业多）这个真出现过的词，引诱你联想「那要谈创造就业」。但女士预告的是稍后谈选址，失业只是顺带提到、并没说要专门讨论解决就业的措施。

  借用原文：there's a lot of unemployment

What does the woman think about the work force and the level of training and education there?

评价句 In general it's very good and improving。In general, it's very good and improving. 是女士对该话题的直接评价句，very good 定褒义、improving 加「还在变好」的限定——评价性形容词就是态度题的答案信号。

• it's very good and improving↔It's very good and improving.评价原句几乎照搬

• A)与原文相反It's just so-so.（一般般）与录音 very good 的褒义评价相反，是把高评价压低成中性，方向不符。

  借用原文：it's very good and improving

• B)过度推断It's perfect. 把 very good 拔高成「完美无缺」，但录音紧跟 improving（还在改善）说明它还没到顶、仍有上升空间——既然还在变好，就不是 perfect。

  借用原文：very good and improving

• D)与原文相反It's disappointing.（令人失望）是贬义，与录音 very good and improving 的正面评价完全相反，方向彻底反了。

  借用原文：very good and improving

Why does the speaker say Joe Gumps became one of his best friends?

因果标记 the only reason 直接点原因。这句里 which is probably the only reason he is one of my best friends 用 the only reason 明确标出 "成为好友的唯一原因"，而原因就是前半句 when we were both 9 years old（两人都才 9 岁时就认识）。reason 一出现，答案句基本就锁定。

• when we were both 9 years old↔since childhood9 岁 = 童年，具体年龄概括成 childhood

• A)原词陷阱录音确实出现过 mutual，但说的是 the lack of immediately visible mutual interests（缺少一眼可见的共同兴趣），是 "共同兴趣"，根本没说有 mutual friends（共同的朋友）。选项偷换了 mutual 后面的词，属于听到 mutual 就想选的原词陷阱。

  借用原文：the lack of immediately visible mutual interests

• C)与原文相反选项 They shared many extracurricular activities. 说两人共享许多课外活动，但录音原话是 We haven't been in the same classes, sports or extracurricular activities.——明确说没在一起。选项盗了 extracurricular activities 这个词，意思却被否定句反着说，与原文相反。

  借用原文：We haven't been in the same classes, sports or extracurricular activities.

• D)与原文相反选项 They had many interests in common. 说两人有很多共同兴趣，但录音说的是 the lack of immediately visible mutual interests（缺少显而易见的共同兴趣），第二段还补刀 I struggle even now to think of things we have in common。盗用 interests / in common，事实却相反。

  借用原文：the lack of immediately visible mutual interests

Where does the speaker spend most of his weekends?

转折 Nonetheless 后接出真正落点。这句以 Nonetheless（尽管如此）转折，前面刚说两人没在一起上课、运动，转折之后才给出真情况——I spend nearly every weekend at his house，"周末 + 地点" 同时出现，正是题干所问。转折词后面才是答案落点。

• at his house↔At Joe's house代词 his 还原成人名 Joe

• A)未提及选项 At a local club. 里的 club 在整段录音里没有被提到过，纯属编造的地点，没有任何原文依据。
• C)原词陷阱录音里有 sports 这个词（说两人没一起参加 sports），选项就拼出一个 At the sports center. 来勾人，但录音从没说过 sports center 这个地方，更没说周末在那里，是听到 sports 就想选的原词陷阱。

  借用原文：We haven't been in the same classes, sports or extracurricular activities.

• D)原词陷阱录音说 but I am a boarding student（我是寄宿生），boarding 确实出现，但它讲的是说话人身份，不是周末待的地方；周末他明明在 his house。选项 At the boarding school. 盗 boarding 一词答非所问。

  借用原文：but I am a boarding student

What has the speaker learned from his friendship with Joe?

结尾 I have realized 标出感悟落点。这句以 Thanks to Joe, I have realized 引出感悟，正面回答题干 "学到了什么"。realize 后面的内容——how little basis there is, for the social divisions（社会隔阂根基薄弱）——就是核心启示，是结尾的总结落点。

• how little basis there is, for the social divisions↔Social divisions will break down隔阂根基薄弱 → 隔阂会瓦解
• find friends in unexpected people and places↔if people get to know each other去认识意想不到的人 = 彼此了解

• A)原词陷阱选项 Durable friendships can be very difficult to maintain. 借了 friendship 这个全篇都在讲的词，但 "友谊难以维系" 录音通篇没提；说话人反而每晚通话、每周末相处，友谊很稳。属于借熟词却答非所问的原词陷阱。

  借用原文：When I look at my friendship with Joe

• B)未提及选项 One has to be respectful of other people in order to win respect. 讲 "尊重别人才能赢得尊重"，这套关于 respect 的道理录音里只字未提，是凭空安上的格言式干扰。
• C)与原文相反选项 It is hard for people from different backgrounds to become friends. 说不同背景的人难成朋友，但录音的结论恰恰相反——how little basis there is, for the social divisions，说隔阂根基薄、可以跨越。选项把积极结论反着说，与原文相反。

  借用原文：how little basis there is, for the social divisions that exist in every community

Where did Louis intend to park his car when he came back from work one night?

动作首选 + 转折 but。题干问的是 intend（本打算），对应录音里他最先采取的动作 He turned into his building's parking lot——这是他原本想停的地方；紧接的 but all the spaces were full 用转折 but 说明只是没停成，并不改变『他本打算停这儿』，所以这句就是答案句。

• his building's parking lot↔In his building's parking lot.近乎原句的地点对应

• A)原词陷阱选项 Near the entrance of a park. 的 park（公园）借了录音里反复出现的 parking（停车）做相近音陷阱；录音从没提『公园入口』，他真正驶向的是 his building's parking lot。

  借用原文：looking for a parking space

• C)未提及At a parking meter. 的 parking meter（计时停车位）录音里根本没念到，纯属凭『停车』话题硬造的干扰项。
• D)答非所问At a street corner. 街角并非他打算停的地方；他确实 drove back out onto the street 上街找位，但那是楼下车位满了之后的退而求其次，不是 intend 所问的最初打算。

  借用原文：He drove back out onto the street looking for a parking space.

What did Louis think had happened to his car the next morning?

他亲口说出的判断。题问 Louis think，答案就在他亲口对警察 to say that his car had been stolen 这句——『say that…』直接说出他当时的判断，正是『他以为车怎么了』的落点。

• his car had been stolen↔It had been stolen by someone.被动句几乎原义照搬

• A)原词陷阱It had been taken by the police. 盗用了录音后半 It had been taken away by the police 的原词 police / taken；但那是警察告诉他的真相，不是他次日早晨自己的判断——题问的是他 think 的内容。

  借用原文：It had been taken away by the police.

• B)张冠李戴It had been moved to the next block. 借了录音里 The next block was almost empty 的 next block 一词，但那是他前一晚找车位时路过的街区，与车次日的去向毫无关系，属把无关情节的原词拼到这道题上。

  借用原文：The next block was almost empty.

• D)答非所问It had been parked at a wrong place. 说的是『停错了地方』，这虽是事情的根由（他停进了 a private lot），但并不是次日早晨他对『车怎么了』的判断——那一刻他以为是被偷。

  借用原文：His car had been on a private lot.

Where did Louis finally get his car back?

取车动作落在结尾。录音结尾交代他 take a taxi to the city garage 再 pay a fee of $40 to get his car back——『get his car back』与题干 get his car back 用词直接呼应，前一句的地点 city garage 就是最终取车处，这是事件收尾处的落点。

• the city garage↔In the city garage.地点原词对应

• A)原词陷阱At the Greenville center. 盗用了录音末尾的专有地名 his first one ever in Greenville；但 Greenville 是他破天荒吃到停车罚单的城市，且选项还自造了 center 一词，并非他取回车的地点。

  借用原文：his first one ever in Greenville

• B)张冠李戴At a public parking lot. 让人联想到他当晚误停的那个 small parking lot，但那是车被拖走的起点，且原文说那其实是 a private lot（私人车库），并非他取回车的 city garage。

  借用原文：Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces.

• C)张冠李戴In a neighboring town. 借了录音开头 His research in the neighboring town 的 neighboring town，但那是他白天做研究的地方，与取车毫无关系，是把开头情节的原词挪到结尾这问上。

  借用原文：His research in the neighboring town had taken longer than he expected.

What did the speaker most probably discuss last time?

开头回顾句 we agreed that…点题。开篇 to pick up where we left off last time（接着上次的话头讲）紧跟一句 we agreed that creativity is a mysterious idea，这种回顾上次结论的句子就是主旨信号，直接点出上次谈的核心是创造力的神秘。

• creativity is a mysterious idea↔The mysteriousness of creativity.形容词转名词的同义改写

• C)原词陷阱A major scientific discovery. 把原文里 Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently 的原词 major scientific discovery 整段搬来，但科学发现在原文只是论证创造力不只属于艺术的一个例子，不是上次讨论的主题，属听到原词就想选的原词陷阱。

  借用原文：Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently

• D)偷换概念Creativity as shown in arts. 借了原文 The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts 里的 arts，但原文紧接着强调 we should not think that creativity plays a role only in the arts，明确说创造力不止在艺术，把主题缩到 arts 恰恰被原文否定，属以偏概全。

  借用原文：we should not think that creativity plays a role only in the arts

• A)未提及Famous creative individuals.（著名创意人物）在原文找不到落点，全段谈的是创造力是什么、从哪来，并没有去讲哪些名人很有创造力，属原文未提及。

What is a widely accepted idea about the creative process?

被接受as的来源式定性句。The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts 里的 has always been accepted as（一直被公认为）正是题干 widely accepted 的原文呼应，这种被公认为…的句式就是定性信号，答案落点在此。

• the source of all important work in the arts↔It is the source of all artistic work.important work in the arts等值artistic work

• B)原词陷阱It helps people acquire knowledge. 借了原文 Or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge 里的 acquired、knowledge，但原文是在问创造力本身能不能像知识一样被习得，并不是说创造力帮人获取知识，偷换了 acquire 的对象，属原词陷阱。

  借用原文：Or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge

• C)答非所问It starts soon after we are born. 蹭了第二段 you were born with it 的 born，但原文说的是与生俱来已经拥有，不是出生后不久才开始，且这是说话人自己的论断、并非题干要的widely accepted（公认）看法，张冠李戴又答非所问。

  借用原文：you were born with it

• A)答非所问It is something people all engage in. 的人人都参与对应的是第二段 you use it every day 这层意思，那是说话人对日常使用的描述，不是题干所问的对 creative process 公认的看法，落点和题目不在同一句，属答非所问。

  借用原文：you use it every day almost every moment of your life

What leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker?

began with引出的因果起点。Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently 中 began with（始于）就是因果信号，它后面接的 imagining（想象）正是导致科学发现的那个原因，答案落在 began with 之后。

• imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it↔Creative imagination.动词imagining概括为名词creative imagination

• B)未提及Logical reasoning. 逻辑推理是和想象相反气质的能力，原文把科学发现归因于 imagining the world to look differently（想象），从头到尾没说靠逻辑推理，属原文未提及的对立干扰。
• C)未提及Natural curiosity. 好奇心和创造、发现听感很搭，但原文谈科学发现的成因时只说 imagining（想象），并没提 curiosity，属凭语感想当然、原文未提及。
• D)未提及Critical thinking. 批判性思维同样是个学术味浓的能力名词，但原文把科学发现归因于想象，根本没出现批判性思维，属未提及。

What does the speaker imply about the creative process?

结尾every day every moment的强调收束。第二段收尾处 you use it every day almost every moment of your life 用 every day、every moment 反复强调日常高频使用，这种结尾加重语气就是推断信号，说话人借此暗示创造过程是日常的一部分。

• you use it every day almost every moment of your life↔It is part of everyday life.every day every moment推为part of everyday life

• A)与原文相反It is beyond ordinary people. 说它超出普通人能力，而原文恰恰说 we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way 和 It is your birth right as a human being，强调人人皆有，选项与原文极性相反。

  借用原文：we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way

• D)过度推断It is a unique human trait. 借了原文 It is your birth right as a human being 里的 human，但原文只说它是人类与生俱来的权利，并没有把它与其他物种比较、断言人类独有（unique），这层是听到 human 就脑补的过度推断。

  借用原文：It is your birth right as a human being

• B)答非所问It helps people acquire knowledge. 蹭了原文 something that can be acquired like knowledge 的 acquire、knowledge，但原文谈的是创造力是不是像知识一样被习得，并非说它帮人获取知识，且与本题问的日常性无关，属答非所问。

  借用原文：Or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge
