2020年12月·第1套 英语六级听力真题原文与答案解析

What is the woman complaining about?

诉苦情绪句即落点。这句以 I'm getting a little fed up(我快受够了)这种带强烈不满情绪的表态领出，正是女方主动开口诉苦的那一句——抱怨题的答案就落在说话人情绪外露、点名诉苦对象的句子上。

• my claim being completely disregarded↔Her claim has been completely disregarded.近乎原句改换人称时态

• A)答非所问录音确实提到家里受灾、住进房车 five of us have been living in a caravan ever since，但她抱怨的对象是"理赔被无视"，不是"房子没及时修好"；本项把灾后处境硬安成抱怨内容，答非所问。

  借用原文：five of us have been living in a caravan ever since

• B)与原文相反本项盗用录音里的 manager 制造熟悉感，但女方第8段明说 I've already spoken to him(我已经和他谈过了)，是"已联系上"而非"again failed to reach"，与原文相反。

  借用原文：I've already spoken to him

• D)与原文相反本项盗用 letter 一词，但女方开头就说 since receiving your letter(收到你们的信之后)，信明明收到了，本项说"没收到任何信"与原文相反。

  借用原文：since receiving your letter

What is the problem the woman's family encountered?

被问者细述灾情即落点。女方应保险员"take some details"之请，亲口细述受灾经过，The entire ground floor of our cottage was submerged in water 就是她对"灾情"的直接陈述；对话题答案落在被问方正面回应处。

• The entire ground floor of our cottage was submerged in water↔The ground floor of their cottage was flooded.submerge=flood同义替换

• B)张冠李戴本项盗用 caravan(房车)一词，但录音说房车是他们灾后的"住处" five of us have been living in a caravan ever since，并非"被洪水冲走"；张冠李戴地把"住房车"歪成"房车被冲走"。

  借用原文：five of us have been living in a caravan ever since

• C)与原文相反录音只说 entire ground floor … was submerged(整个一楼被淹)，本项盗用 entire 一词却把范围从"一楼"放大到"entire house被毁"，程度被夸大，与原文不符。

  借用原文：The entire ground floor of our cottage was submerged in water

• D)未提及录音通篇只讲一楼进水，从未提屋顶(roof)塌陷；本项"屋顶在洪水中坍塌"是录音根本没说的内容，属凭空添加。

What has caused the so-called "bizarre technical detail" according to the man?

refers to后即解释。男方用 refers to the fact that(指的是…这一事实)这一引子点明缘由，引子后面那句正是对"bizarre technical detail"的官方解释；据男方说法答原因，就锁定这句。

• you hadn't paid house insurance the month before the incident↔The woman's failure to pay her house insurance in time.否定句=failure名词化

• A)未提及本项盗用前文出现过的 letter 概念制造熟悉感，但男方解释起因时只字未提"女方误读了信"；misreading the letter 是录音没说的内容，凭空添加。
• B)答非所问条款 terms and conditions 确在第7段被男方提到 any missed payment in a year will affect the terms and conditions，但男方给"怪细节"的起因是"漏交费"，不是"女方不懂条款"；本项答非所问。

  借用原文：any missed payment in a year will affect the terms and conditions

• C)未提及录音里男方从未说女方"对整件事描述不准"，inaccurate description 是凭空捏造的原因，与男方给出的"漏交保费"无关。

What does the woman say she would do at the end of the conversation?

结尾表态句即落点。对话最后一段女方撂下狠话 your company has a lawsuit on its hands，这是她临挂电话前的行动宣告；题干问 at the end 的打算，落点就在这句结尾表态。

• your company has a lawsuit on its hands↔File a lawsuit against the insurance company.撂狠话=提起诉讼

• B)与原文相反本项盗用第7段男方提议的 manager，但女方第8段开口就回"我已经和他谈过了" I've already spoken to him，找经理是已完成的事，不是她结尾要去做的动作；与原文相反。

  借用原文：I've already spoken to him

• C)偷换概念本项盗用 lawyer 一词，但女方说的是 You will be hearing from my lawyer(你们会收到我律师的来函)——这是"派律师发函/要起诉"，不是"就保单去请教律师"；偷换了她说 lawyer 的真实用意。

  借用原文：You will be hearing from my lawyer

• D)未提及terms and conditions 由男方在第7段提到 will affect the terms and conditions of the insurance contract，但女方结尾从未说要"修改合同条款"；revise the terms 是录音没说的内容。

  借用原文：will affect the terms and conditions of the insurance contract

What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?

两人态度正面对撞。女方说 I feel quite optimistic about it，男方紧接着以转折否定回应 I'm not so optimistic actually，一个 optimistic、一个 not so optimistic，态度词正面对撞，这种"一方表态、另一方立刻反对"的应答冲突就是判断两人关系的答案信号。

• optimistic↔disagree对立态度概括成分歧
• the future of artificial intelligence↔the future of AI technology同一话题的同义改写

• A)原词陷阱对话里 AI 是两人争论的话题，并没有说他们"分别在 AI 的不同领域工作"；选项盗用了反复出现的 AI technology 来制造"听到 AI 就想选"的错觉，实则把"谈论 AI"偷换成"从事 AI 不同分支"。

  借用原文：the future of artificial intelligence

• C)偷换概念对话只显示两人对 AI 看法不同，从未比较谁"懂得多懂得少"；differ greatly in their knowledge of modern technology 把"观点分歧"偷换成"知识水平差距"，是录音根本没说的内容。
• D)与原文相反both worried 中的"both（都）"与原文矛盾：男方确实担忧，但女方全程 optimistic、there is a benevolent future with AI，并不担忧。选项盗用了男方 we should be concerned about 的担忧情绪，却错误地扣到"两人都"头上。

  借用原文：something we should be concerned about

What will new kinds of jobs be like, according to the woman?

被问者的直接描述句。题干问"女方说新工作怎样"，答案就落在女方描述新工作的那句 require less of our time and allow us to be centered on creative tasks——这是被问者对该对象的直接定性，正是细节题要锁定的应答句。

• require less of our time↔Less time-consuming省时间的同义改写
• centered on creative tasks↔focusing on creation专注创造的同义改写

• A)张冠李戴Simply writing AI software 盗用的是男方在后文说的 the last job that will remain will be writing AI software，那是男方对"最后剩什么工作"的说法，并非女方对"新工作"的描述，张冠李戴。

  借用原文：the last job that will remain will be writing AI software

• B)未提及Stimulating and motivating（令人振奋、有激励性）在对话中女方从未这样形容过新工作，她只说省时和专注创造；这是看似积极、实则原文没有的编造内容。
• D)与原文相反More demanding and requiring special training（更费力、需专门培训）与女方所说的"省时、专注创造"方向相反；它更像男方那种悲观论调，与被问者女方的乐观描述对不上。

  借用原文：require less of our time

What is the risk the man anticipates?

risk预警词直接领出风险。男方原句以 There's a risk that 直接点出风险，预警信号词 risk 一响，紧跟其后的 human civilization could be replaced by a superior type of digital life 就是答案所在——这种"信号词+正文"是细节题最干净的定位点。

• human civilization could be replaced by a superior type of digital life↔Digital life could replace human civilization.被动改主动的同义句

• A)张冠李戴There could be jobs nobody wants to do 盗用的是女方在 a lot of jobs which nobody will want to do 说的话，而且题干问的是"男方"预见的风险，这句既非男方所说、也不是他眼里的风险，张冠李戴。

  借用原文：a lot of jobs which nobody will want to do

• C)偷换概念Humans would be tired of communicating with one another 把原文说反了主语：男方说的是 AI will become tired of trying to communicate with humans（是 AI 厌倦与人交流），而非"人类彼此厌倦交流"，主体被偷换。

  借用原文：AI will become tired of trying to communicate with humans

• D)过度推断Old people would be taken care of solely by unfeeling robots 嫁接的是女方 robots to take care of the old guys 的说法，且女方把它当作正面用途、并无 solely、unfeeling 之意；这既非男方预见的风险，又添加了原文没有的"仅靠、无情"。

  借用原文：the robots to take care of the old guys

What is the man's concern about AI technology?

对比中暗示AI更强。男方 we would be much slower thinkers in comparison 用人机对比，明说人比 AI 慢得多，再加 Computers can easily communicate incredibly fast，这条贯穿后半段的"AI 远超人类"主线，正是态度题要抓的核心判断。

• we would be much slower thinkers in comparison↔It will be smarter than human beings.人更慢即AI更聪明
• Computers can easily communicate incredibly fast↔smarter than human beings快得多印证更强

• A)张冠李戴Life will become like a science fiction film 盗用的是女方收尾的 you watch too many science fiction films，那是女方调侃男方想太多的话，并非男方对 AI 的忧虑，张冠李戴。

  借用原文：you watch too many science fiction films

• B)原词陷阱It will take away humans' jobs altogether 借用了男方 AI will make jobs kind of pointless 的工作话题，但题干问的是男方对 AI 的核心"忧虑"，他后半段反复强调的是 AI 超越人类、而非"彻底抢光工作"；altogether 也属程度加码。

  借用原文：AI will make jobs kind of pointless

• C)原词陷阱Chips will be inserted in human brains 盗用了女方 Computers only have chips. People have brains 里的 chips、brains 两词，但女方原意是"电脑只有芯片、人有大脑"以反驳男方，根本没说"往人脑里插芯片"，既张冠李戴又是凭原词拼凑的无中生有。

  借用原文：Computers only have chips. People have brains

What are people under 30 advised to do to achieve financial security?

目标表态句 your goal should be。讲者用 your goal should be 这一表态结构领出建议，正是听力里锁定答案句的强信号；再加上题干点名的 under 30 在 If you are under 30 years old 同句出现，定位直接命中。

• save 20% of your monthly income after tax deductions↔Save one-fifth of their net monthly income.20% 即 one-fifth、税后即 net

• A)原词陷阱A 说克制不做高风险投资，盗用了录音末段 high-risk but potentially lucrative investments 里的 high-risk 一词；但那是讲存下的钱怎么用，且讲者并未叫人克制/远离高风险，与本题问的建议无关。

  借用原文：high-risk but potentially lucrative investments

• C)与原文相反C 说精明投资于赚钱的生意，词都来自录音 how shrewdly you invest 与 lucrative；但讲者开篇明说存多少比怎样精明投资更重要，C 恰是被讲者降级的那一项，不是建议。

  借用原文：how much you save is always more important than the amount you earn or how shrewdly you invest

• D)与原文相反D 说尽量多赚钱，盗用了录音 the amount you earn 里的 earn；但同句已说存钱比赚钱多少更重要，且补了 This is irrespective of how much you earn（与赚多少无关），讲者并不推荐拼命多赚，故 D 错。

  借用原文：This is irrespective of how much you earn

What should people do if they find it difficult to follow the speaker's advice on their financial plan?

条件句 If you find it hard 后的对策。题干的 difficult 在录音里以 If you find it hard to save any money at all 出现，紧跟的 start by cutting all unnecessary spending 与 a tiny amount of 1 or 2 percent 就是对策，条件句之后即答案，是篇章独白对策题的标准落点。

• start by cutting all unnecessary spending↔Start by doing something small.由具体动作概括为 something small
• a tiny amount of 1 or 2 percent↔something small1-2% 即 something small

• B)未提及B 说找一位密友求助，录音通篇没出现朋友、求助一类内容，属凭常识脑补出来的做法，无原文支撑。
• C)原词陷阱C 说设法坚持最初的计划，盗用了录音 It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan 里的 stick to 与 plan；但那是讲坚持难、要靠正确心态，并非回答觉得难存钱时该怎么起步，对不上本题问的对策。

  借用原文：It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan

• D)偷换概念D 说砍掉每日开销的 20%，里头的 20% 来自录音 save 20% of your monthly income——但那 20% 说的是存收入的比例，不是砍开销的比例，选项把存20%偷换成砍20%，数字搬家、意思全变。

  借用原文：save 20% of your monthly income after tax deductions

What does the speaker think is important for achieving financial security?

转折 but 之后的 the right mindset。讲者先说计划难坚持，再用 but if you adopt the right mindset 转折，转折后才是真意所在——the right mindset 正是被强调为关键的要素，转折 but 后即答案句，是听力定位的核心信号。

• the right mindset↔A proper mindset.right 即 proper

• A)偷换概念A 说乐观的态度，听上去与心态沾边，但录音强调的是 the right mindset（正确心态），从未说要乐观；optimistic 是凭常识把心态拔高成乐观，原文无此义。

  借用原文：if you adopt the right mindset

• B)原词陷阱B 说一个雄心勃勃的计划，盗用了录音 stick to such a strict plan 里的 plan；但讲者说的是计划难坚持、要靠心态去执行，强调的是心态而非计划，且从未说计划要 ambitious，故 B 错。

  借用原文：It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan

• D)未提及D 说浓厚的兴趣，录音通篇谈的是存钱比例、对策和心态，从未涉及兴趣 interest 一词，属无中生有。

What do we learn about the speaker when she first started her job?

转折 However 后才是真意。前半句 I like to keep up with current trends 是铺垫，真正的落点在转折词 However 之后——她坦白刚入职时觉得 I looked a total mess，这正是答案句。

• I looked a total mess↔found her outfit inappropriate"一团糟"="穿得不合适"

• A)原词陷阱原文开头 I work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends 表明她对广告/潮流是上心的，选项 uninterested in advertising 偷偷把"喜欢、上心"改成"不感兴趣"，盗用了 advertising 这个原词却与原意相反。

  借用原文：I work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends

• C)与原文相反原文是她"喜欢紧跟潮流" keep up with current trends，选项 unhappy with fashion trends 把"跟潮流"扭成"对潮流不满"，盗用 trends 一词制造熟悉感，却安了个原文没有的负面态度。

  借用原文：I like to keep up with current trends

• D)过度推断原文只说她 occasionally I'd catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts(偶尔在电梯里瞥一眼)，选项 often checked herself in a mirror 把"偶尔瞥见"夸成"经常照镜子"，还把电梯换成镜子，程度和细节都被放大改写。

  借用原文：occasionally I'd catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts

Why were uniforms invented according to the speaker?

that's why 直陈因果。因果信号 that's why uniforms were invented 直接把"制服为何被发明"和前一句挂钩——原因就是前句 no one can be unique with their outfit every day。

• no one can be unique with their outfit every day↔save the trouble of choosing a unique outfit every day"没人能天天穿独特"="省去天天挑独特衣服的麻烦"

• B)答非所问原文谈制服被发明的原因只字未提客户期望，选项 meet the expectations of fashion-conscious clients 借用全篇出现过的 clients 这一话题词制造熟悉感，但这并非制服被发明的理由，属答非所问。

  借用原文：clients are quick to judge you on your style

• C)原词陷阱keep up with current trends 是她个人的偏好，并非"制服被发明"的原因。选项 keep up with the current trends 几乎照搬原文短语，是典型"听到原词就想选"的诱饵，却和本题问的原因无关。

  借用原文：I like to keep up with current trends

• D)偷换概念原文说的是省"麻烦/精力"(没法天天穿独特)，从未说省钱。选项 save the expenses on clothing 与正确项 save the trouble… 共用 save，却把"省麻烦"偷换成"省开销"，原文无任何花费的依据。

What does the speaker say about looking smarter?

转折 But + 条件句给限定。前一句说有人可能 work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients 时不成问题，转折 But 之后给出关键限定 if your job involves interacting with other people, the answer to this is often yes——"穿得体面"在与人打交道的工作里才确实有用。

• if your job involves interacting with other people, the answer to this is often yes↔It matters a lot in jobs involving interaction with others"和人打交道的工作里答案为是"="在这类工作中很重要"

• A)与原文相反原文把"独自远程工作" work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients 列为穿体面"可能根本不是问题"的情形，选项 enhances people's ability to work independently 反把它说成"增强独立工作能力"，与原文意思相反。

  借用原文：if you work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face

• B)过度推断原文明确加了条件——只在 if your job involves interacting with other people 时才有用，选项 succeed in whatever they are doing 用 whatever 把作用扩到"做任何事都成功"，去掉了原文的限定，属过度拔高。

  借用原文：if your job involves interacting with other people, the answer to this is often yes

• D)未提及原文谈的是"工作中"是否有用，从未谈求职或信心。选项 boosts one's confidence when looking for employment 把场景偷换到 looking for employment(找工作)，是原文未提及的内容。

What does the speaker advise people to do in an image-obsessed world?

I think we should 直陈主张。表态信号 I think we should just do whatever helps us to achieve our goals at work 是作者的核心建议，前面 rather than fighting the system 还点明了"别对抗、要顺势"的取向。

• do whatever helps us to achieve our goals at work↔Do whatever is possible to look smart"做任何有助达成工作目标的事"="尽一切努力让自己看上去得体"

• A)原词陷阱原文里"做制服" I created my own uniform 是说话人自己的一个具体做法，不是她给大家的最终建议；选项 Design their own uniform to appear unique 盗用 uniform 一词，还添了原文没有的 to appear unique(为显独特)——而原文恰恰说"没人能每天独特"。

  借用原文：I created my own uniform

• B)原词陷阱原文提到 the same classic pieces 是描述她制服的样式，并非建议大家"穿经典款去打动客户"。选项 Wear classic pieces to impress their clients 借用 classic pieces 与 clients 两个原词拼出一个原文没有的主张。

  借用原文：the same classic pieces

• C)与原文相反作者明说 rather than fighting the system(与其对抗这套规则)，主张顺势而为；选项 Fight the ever-changing trends in fashion 却让人去"对抗潮流"，方向与作者建议完全相反。

  借用原文：rather than fighting the system

What has prevented Americans' happiness levels from increasing?

因果信号 has resulted in 串起原因与结果。答案句靠因果链定位：This phenomenon has resulted in 把前句的『现象』和后面包括『幸福感没上升』在内的一串后果连起来，而那个『现象』正是 we've become such enthusiastic consumers——听到 resulted in 就该把它前面的起因记牢。

• we've become such enthusiastic consumers that we require even more↔Their obsession with consumption热衷消费=沉迷消费，概括改写

• B)原词陷阱原文只说造成了 significant credit card debt（信用卡债务），选项 Their failure to accumulate wealth. 把『欠债』偷换成『没能积累财富』，并把它说成幸福感不升的原因——可它在原文里是『结果』之一，不是原因，且语义也被改了。

  借用原文：significant credit card debt

• C)原词陷阱录音通篇在谈居住空间，让 The ever-increasing costs of housing.（房价不断上涨）听上去很『搭』，但原文从没说是房价上涨阻碍了幸福感，反倒说空间变成了三倍；这是借话题熟悉度骗选。

  借用原文：Americans have approximately three times the amount of space we had 50 years ago

• D)原词陷阱原文确实提到 enormous environmental footprints（巨大的环境足迹），选项 The deterioration of the environment. 就抓住 environmental 这个词，可它和债务一样属于过度消费的『后果』，而非妨碍幸福感的原因，答非所问。

  借用原文：enormous environmental footprints

What things should we possess according to the speaker?

转折 but 之后才是真意。答案句是个转折结构：we should possess some great stuff, but we want belongings that we're going to love for years，but 之前是垫场，but 之后『多年都会喜爱的东西』才是讲者真正主张的标准——转折后是落点。

• belongings that we're going to love for years↔Things that we cherish most多年一直爱=最珍爱，同义改写

• A)未提及Things that are rare to find. 说要拥有『稀有难找』的东西，可录音里讲者强调的是『喜爱、要用很久』，从没把『稀有』当标准，属凭空添加。
• B)原词陷阱录音多次讲精简能省钱（如 less stuff and less space can not only help you economize），Things that cost less money. 就借这个『省钱』印象，把它歪成『要买便宜的东西』——可讲者说的是少买、买耐爱的，并非挑便宜的买。

  借用原文：less stuff and less space can not only help you economize

• C)张冠李戴原文谈 efficiency 是针对空间和电器（we require space efficiency），Things that boost efficiency. 把这个词挪来回答『该拥有哪类东西』，张冠李戴、答非所问。

  借用原文：we require space efficiency

What do we learn about the items in the speaker's home?

举例铺陈共同指向『多功能』。答案句先给总述 we need multifunctional spaces and housewares，再用咖啡桌能变大、床能翻出墙这些例子佐证——一连串例子都在证明同一个特征『一物多用』，总述句就是落点。

• multifunctional spaces and housewares↔They serve multiple purposesmultifunctional=serve multiple purposes，同义解释

• B)原词陷阱录音前面提过小空间带来 a smaller carbon footprint（更小碳足迹），They benefit the environment. 就借这个环保印象，可它是讲『小房子』的好处，不是讲『家中物品』的特征，答非所问。

  借用原文：a smaller carbon footprint

• C)张冠李戴They are mostly durable.（大多耐用）听上去和精简很搭，但讲者说物品耐用/要用很久是在 17 题语境（love for years），描述家中物品时强调的是『多功能』而非耐用，张冠李戴。

  借用原文：belongings that we're going to love for years

• D)与原文相反They are easily disposable.（易于丢弃）和原文方向正相反——讲者主张留下能用很久、多功能的好东西，绝不是『随手可丢』；这是把极性听反的陷阱。

  借用原文：belongings that we're going to love for years

What did a team of scientists find in their study?

研究发现的标志句 they found that。they found that 12% of respondents reported the distance they drove as less than the actual figure 用 found that 直接领出"研究发现"，正是答案句；其后 they lied about the number of miles 又用 In other words 把发现点透，是双重信号。

• 12% of respondents↔Over 10% of the respondents12% 即"超过10%"，精确数→范围概括
• they lied about the number of miles↔lied about the distance they drovenumber of miles = distance they drove，同义替换

• A)过度推断选项借了录音的报销语境，但说成 All respondents were afraid of making a high expense claim：录音只说"有 12% 的人"少报，并非 All；"怕报高"也是录音没有的主观情绪，属把范围放大到全体的过度推断。

  借用原文：12% of respondents reported the distance they drove as less than the actual figure

• B)原词陷阱选项 gave an average answer of 400 miles 盗用了录音原句式 giving an average answer of 384 miles，却把 384 换成 400。400 在录音里是"可报销上限"（compensated for up to 400 miles），不是"平均答案"，这是典型的"数字配错对象"的原词陷阱。

  借用原文：giving an average answer of 384 miles

• D)张冠李戴选项 Most of the respondents got compensated for driving 384 miles 拼凑了录音的 compensated（见 can be compensated for up to 400 miles）与数字 384，但录音从没说"多数人"因开 384 英里而获补偿——384 是撒谎者报的均值，且撒谎者反而 forfeit money（丢钱），与"获补偿"相反。

  借用原文：they would forfeit money they were owed

Why would people fabricate numbers to their own detriment according to the researchers?

自问自答 + The researchers explain 领出原因。录音先用 But why would people fabricate numbers to their own detriment 自设问题，紧接 The researchers explain that many people care a great deal about their reputation 给出解答，explain 之后正是答案句。

• many people care a great deal about their reputation↔wanted to protect their reputationcare about reputation → protect reputation，动机同义
• not losing the respect of others↔protect their reputation不失他人尊重 = 维护声誉

• A)原词陷阱选项 responded to colleagues' suspicion 借了录音的 others would be suspicious of a high expense claim 里的 suspicious。但"别人会起疑"只是研究者点出的表层诱因（assumption），题干问的是 according to the researchers 的根本原因，研究者真正归因于"在意声誉"，故 A 答非所问。

  借用原文：others would be suspicious of a high expense claim

• B)偷换概念选项 cared about other people's claims 借用了录音的报销语境（claim），并仿造 care about 句式，却把对象偷换了：录音说的是"在意自己的声誉与他人评价"（care a great deal about their reputation and how they'll be judged by others），不是"在意别人的报销单"。

  借用原文：care a great deal about their reputation and how they'll be judged by others

• D)与原文相反选项 endeavored to actually be honest 原样照搬了录音的 their desire to actually be honest，但录音说"维护声誉的顾虑"may be greater than（盖过）"真心想诚实的愿望"，也就是"真心诚实"恰恰是被压过、被否定的一方，与人们"谎报"的动机相反。

  借用原文：may be greater than their desire to actually be honest

What does the speaker think of the researchers' findings?

转折 But + 第一人称 to me 标出本人态度。前段刚说 some skeptics argue 有人质疑，本段以 But the findings seem intuitive to me 转折，并用 to me 明确这是说话人自己的判断，转折后 + 第一人称正是态度落点。

• the findings seem intuitive to me↔They seem intuitive原句 intuitive 与选项 intuitive 同词同义

• A)未提及选项 They seem positive 看似"说话人态度不错"，但录音里说话人只说发现 intuitive（符合直觉），从未用 positive 评价；这是把"觉得说得通"擅自升级为"持正面态度"的添加。
• C)偷换概念选项 They are illustrative（有示范性的）与正确词 intuitive 拼写、读音都接近，但录音明明说的是 seem intuitive to me（符合直觉），并非"有示范性"，C 是利用近形词制造的混淆。
• D)过度推断选项 They are conclusive（已成定论的）程度过重：录音里说话人前面刚承认这是 this hypothesis is new、还有 skeptics 质疑，自己也只说 it seems highly likely（看上去很可能），远未到"定论"，D 把说话人的口径拔高了。

  借用原文：it seems highly likely that people will lie to seem honest

What does the speaker mainly discuss in this talk?

开头设问即点题。篇章第一句就是一个问句 Why do old people dislike new music?，开门见山抛出全篇要回答的问题，这种开头设问句就是主旨信号，后面整段都在为它找答案。

• Why do old people dislike new music?↔Older people's aversion to new music.dislike new music = aversion to new music

• A)原词陷阱A 项 Deterioration in the quality of new music. 借了原文里同龄人那句 They just don't make good music like they used to 的语气，但那只是老年人的主观抱怨、被原文当作要解释的现象，全篇并非在论证新音乐质量真的下降了。

  借用原文：They just don't make good music like they used to

• B)未提及B 项 Insights into the features of good music. 说要讲好音乐有哪些特征，但全篇从未分析什么是好音乐、好音乐的构成要素，只在解释老年人的口味为何固化，属未提及。
• C)偷换概念C 项 Older people's changing musical tastes. 看似贴近，但原文说口味是 these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly（锁定、固化），是不再变，而非在变化；且这只是众多成因之一，撑不起全文主旨。

  借用原文：these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly

What have studies found about most people by the time they turn 33?

数字 33 顺听定位。原文 by the time we turn 33 与题干的 turn 33 完全对上，数字是听力里最醒目的定位锚；同时 studies have found 与题干 studies found 呼应，双重信号确认这就是答案句。

• most of us have stopped listening to new music↔They no longer listen to new music.have stopped = no longer

• B)原词陷阱B 项 They find all music sounds the same. 偷的是第 3 段 newer, less familiar songs might all "sound the same"，但那是在讲大脑辨别力下降的生理解释、且仅指新歌听起来像，并非 33 岁这项研究的发现，时间与归属都错位。

  借用原文：newer, less familiar songs might all "sound the same"

• C)与原文相反C 项 They can make subtle distinctions about music. 取自第 3 段 the brain's ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms and melodies deteriorates with age，原文说这种细辨能力随年龄衰退，选项却说仍能细辨，极性恰好相反，且也不是 33 岁那项研究的内容。

  借用原文：the brain's ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms and melodies deteriorates with age

• D)与原文相反D 项 They seldom listen to songs released in their teens. 与原文相反，第 2 段说少年时的热门歌 are likely to remain quite popular among your age group through the rest of your life，即一辈子仍爱听，并非 seldom listen。

What do we learn from one of the most researched laws of social psychology?

定义句 means that 引出本质。原文 the most researched laws of social psychology 与题干完全对上，紧跟的 in essence, means that（本质上是说）是一个明确的下定义信号，其后那句就是这条定律的核心内容、即答案所在。

• the more we're exposed to something, the more we tend to like it↔The more you are exposed to something, the better you'll appreciate it.tend to like it = appreciate it

• A)原词陷阱A 项 The more you are exposed to something, the more familiar it'll be to you. 用 familiar，原文说的是越接触越喜欢（like），不是越接触越熟悉；familiar 虽与第 5 段 become familiar 沾边，但那是讲歌曲变熟、不是这条定律的内容，盗词跑题。

  借用原文：become familiar, comforting parts of your routine

• B)偷换概念B 项 The more you are exposed to something, the deeper you'll understand it. 把结果词换成 understand（理解），原文这条定律讲的是产生喜爱，与理解无关，understand 是原文从未对这条定律说过的结果。
• C)张冠李戴C 项 The more you experience something, the longer you'll remember it. 把结果换成 remember（记得更久），这是第 8 段 intense emotions are associated with stronger memories 的内容、属另一道题（25 题）的范畴，被挪到这里制造干扰。

  借用原文：intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences

What might explain the fact that songs people listen to in their teen years are memorable and beloved?

intense emotions 起始的因果链。原文先说 the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense（少年情绪更强烈），再以 intense emotions are associated with stronger memories 把强烈情绪与更牢的记忆和偏好连起来，associated with 是因果信号，这条因果链就是难忘的解释。

• the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than those that come later↔Teenagers' emotions are more intense.几乎原句概括

• A)原词陷阱A 项 Teenagers' memories are more lasting. 盗用原文 stronger memories，但更牢的记忆是强烈情绪带来的结果、是因果链的中段，题目问的是更根本的因（情绪更强烈），且原文说的是 memories 更 stronger，并非笼统说 teenagers 的记忆更 lasting。

  借用原文：intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences

• C)未提及C 项 Teenagers are much more sensitive. 的 sensitive（敏感）原文从未提及，原文只说少年情绪更 intense（强烈），强烈不等于敏感，属未提及。
• D)偷换概念D 项 Teenagers are much more sentimental. 的 sentimental（多愁善感）与正确项 intense 都跟情绪沾边，但原文用的是 more intense（强烈），不是多愁善感；sentimental 与 C 的 sensitive 还互为近音干扰，专诱听不清的考生。
