2024年12月·第1套 英语六级听力真题原文与答案解析

What are the speakers most probably doing?

开头场景定调句。对话第一句 this here is your yearly performance review 就开门见山点出场合，是典型的“开头定调”信号：主旨情境题的答案往往就埋在第一句对场合的交代里。

• this here is your yearly performance review↔Discussing the woman's annual performance reviewyearly等于annual

• A)未提及录音是上司给在职三年的下属做评估，全程没有应聘、招人的内容，Preparing for a job interview. 凭“职场”联想硬套，属未提及。
• B)原词陷阱录音里 report 是指已经写好的评估报告(Your report is mostly good)，男方说 the report is yours to take，并非两人“一起写报告”。Writing a work report together. 盗用了原词 report 却把“一起过报告”偷换成“一起写报告”。

  借用原文：Your report is mostly good

• C)原词陷阱男方确实说了 there are a couple of issues we must discuss，但那只是这次绩效面谈的一部分(后半段才谈问题)，并非两人整体“只在过几个公司问题”。Going through a couple of issues the company faces. 盗用 a couple of issues 把局部当成了全局，且 issues 是关于“她”的，不是“公司面临的问题”。

  借用原文：there are a couple of issues we must discuss

What does the woman say she appreciates?

被问者的直接应答。男方刚夸完她勤奋、有分析力、令公司满意，女方紧接着应答 I appreciate the recognition，这句“道谢 + appreciate”正是与题干 appreciate 直接对应的应答句，信号极明确。

• I appreciate the recognition↔The recognition of her merits.认可即对优点的认可

• A)未提及The overall culture of the company. 录音从未谈“公司文化”，只是借 company 一词(男方多次提 the company)制造“职场”联想，属未提及。
• B)原词陷阱The instruction from her supervisor. 借男方自称 supervisor(under my direct supervision)制造干扰，但女方感激的是“认可”而非“上级的指示”，盗用 supervision 一词答非所问。

  借用原文：under my direct supervision

• C)偷换概念The honesty of the manager. 中“经理诚实”录音并未作为她感激的内容提及；女方后文虽说 to be perfectly honest，但那是她自述坦率，与“感激经理诚实”无关，属偷换概念。

  借用原文：to be perfectly honest

What has given rise to some complaints about the woman?

转折后才是落点。男方用 the not-so-good part 把话题从表扬转向批评，这是明确的转向信号；转折之后点出的 your ability to work with others 才是抱怨的真正所指，前半的表扬都是铺垫。

• your ability to work with others↔Her inability to interact with colleagues properly.合作能力即与同事互动

• A)偷换概念Her inadequate language proficiency. 录音从未说她“语言能力不足”；抱怨针对的是 communication style(沟通方式)，与“语言水平”是两回事，属偷换概念。

  借用原文：complaints raised about your communication style

• C)原词陷阱Her inappropriate behavior at company meetings. 盗用了 meetings(女方说 we already had like three meetings about this)，但 meetings 是“就此事开过的三次会”，不是“她开会时行为不当”。抱怨的内容是沟通方式，与开会表现无关。

  借用原文：we already had like three meetings about this

• D)张冠李戴Her simplistic approach to dealing with others. 借第6段女方自评报告 it's a little simplistic perhaps 里的 simplistic 一词制造干扰，但那句是她评价“这份评估”有点简单，与“她待人方式简单”无关，张冠李戴。

  借用原文：it's a little simplistic perhaps

Why doesn't the woman like to write long emails?

因果because直给原因。她说 I don't like to write long emails, because… I think they're a waste of time，because 之后就是她亲口给出的理由——“浪费时间”，因果信号直白，是最干净的答案句。

• I think they're a waste of time↔To save time.不浪费时间即省时间

• A)答非所问To avoid offending the recipients. 盗用她说的 it was never my intention to offend anyone，但“无意冒犯”是她对抱怨的辩解，不是她“不写长邮件”的原因。她不写长邮件的理由明确是“浪费时间”，A 答非所问。

  借用原文：it was never my intention to offend anyone

• B)未提及To show her unique writing style. 录音从未说她不写长邮件是为“展示独特文风”，纯属凭“写邮件”话题臆造，属未提及。
• D)原词陷阱To be frank. 盗用她话里的 frankly(frankly, I think they're a waste of time) 与 to be perfectly honest，但 frankly 只是她说话的口吻插入语，不是“不写长邮件”的目的。真正原因在 frankly 之后的 a waste of time，D 把语气词错当成了动机。

  借用原文：frankly, I think they're a waste of time

What does the woman say she has always wanted to do since childhood?

As a child 提示童年愿望。信号是时间状语 As a child——它直接对应题干的 since childhood，把"从小的愿望"标了出来；紧跟其后的 to serve the community and cure people 就是她从小想做的事。

• serve the community↔Provide medical service to the communityserve=provide service
• cure people↔medical servicecure people 概括为 medical service

• B)原词陷阱B 用了录音里 I come from a small town where healthcare was never the best 中的 healthcare 与"家乡"概念，但录音说的是"家乡医疗从来不算好"，她的愿望是去服务，并没有说要"把家乡医疗变成最好"。这是把原词拼成一个原文没说的目标。

  借用原文：I come from a small town where healthcare was never the best

• C)未提及C 说"拿内科博士学位"，但录音里她只说想当医生、想专攻内科，从没提过"博士学位"。这是把后文的 internal medicine 嫁接到一个没出现过的"读博"目标上。
• D)与原文相反D"对身边人产生深远影响"借了录音 that had a profound effect on me 的 profound effect，但原文是"家乡医疗状况对她产生了深远影响"——是别的事影响"她"，不是她要去影响别人。方向被调了个个儿。

  借用原文：that had a profound effect on me

What do we learn about the woman's parents from the conversation?

被问者应答里的 my parents。信号是被问者直接点名 my parents have been a key factor——对话题答案落在回答方，她一提到 parents，下一句 They always pushed me to study hard 就是关于父母的核心信息。

• always pushed me to study hard↔constantly urged her to study hardpushed=urged，always=constantly

• B)偷换概念B"努力挣钱供她读书"利用了录音 I certainly wouldn't be here without their support 里的 support，但 support 只是泛指"支持"，录音从未说是"经济上出钱（finance）"。这是把一个泛词坐实成具体的金钱资助。

  借用原文：I certainly wouldn't be here without their support

• C)张冠李戴C"营造积极学习环境"盗用了录音 a positive environment conducive to my working hard，但说这环境的是"老师、朋友等她周围的人"带来的，原文并没把"营造环境"安在父母头上。这是张冠李戴。

  借用原文：surrounded by a positive environment conducive to my working hard

• D)未提及D 说父母"和她一起追求家庭梦想"，录音只说追梦是"她自己的"（pursuing my dreams），并无父母与她"共同追梦"之说。属凭空添加。

Why does the woman say she wants to choose internal medicine as her specialty?

because 领出真正理由。信号是因果连词 because——它后面 it covers so much and ties together so many other specialties 才是她选内科的真正原因；before because 的 most intriguing 只是感受，理由在 because 之后。

• it covers so much↔its broad coveragecovers so much=broad coverage
• ties together so many other specialties↔connects many other specialtiesties together=connects

• A)原词陷阱A"有助于实现她的梦想"里的 dreams 确在录音别处出现过（pursuing my dreams），但她解释"为何选内科"时给的理由是"覆盖广、连专科"，从未说内科"有助于实现梦想"。这是把别处的词搬来当本题理由。

  借用原文：pursuing my dreams

• C)原词陷阱C 说内科"在这所名校历史悠久"，录音里 prestigious institution（名校）确出现过，但谈的是"学校的声望与竞争"，根本没说内科"历史悠久"。把名校话题硬接到"内科有历史"上。

  借用原文：prestigious institution

• D)未提及D"父母都专攻这一科"，录音里父母只"督促她学习"，从没说过父母是医生、更没说专攻内科。这是把 parents 与 internal medicine 两个真词强行拼成一个假关系。

How does the man describe the woman's school grades?

转折 but 后才是真评价。信号是转折词 but——but 之前的 You do get top grades 是先扬，but 之后 you are not very… consistent 才是男方真正的评价：成绩不够稳定。态度题的落点在转折后。

• you are not very… Shall we say "consistent"?↔Inconsistentnot consistent=inconsistent
• a bit of a mixed bag↔Inconsistentmixed bag=时好时坏=inconsistent

• A)原词陷阱A"有问题的"借了录音 I see no problem in making you a conditional offer 里的 problem，但那句说的是"给你有条件录取没问题"，是对"录取"说的，不是评价成绩"有问题"。盗了 problem 却换了对象。

  借用原文：I see no problem in making you a conditional offer

• B)张冠李戴B"有竞争力的"盗用录音 a highly competitive and promising student body 的 competitive，但那是男方夸"本校生源竞争激烈"，与"她的成绩"无关。张冠李戴到了成绩头上。

  借用原文：a highly competitive and promising student body

• D)与原文相反D"可信赖的"是褒义，但男方对成绩的整体态度是负面的（mixed bag、not consistent、warned），方向完全相反。把先扬后抑听成了纯表扬。

  借用原文：consider yourself warned

Why do we often have to choose photos that include a street sign to log into our email accounts?

原因信号 as 引出真意。答案就在 as this apparently provides solid evidence to your computer that you are, in fact, a human being 里的 as 之后——as 在这里是『因为』，专门交代前面『选含街道标志照片』这个动作的目的，是典型的原因信号。

• provides solid evidence to your computer that you are, in fact, a human being↔To convince our computer that we are human提供证据=使信服，同义改写

• A)原词陷阱选项里的 hackers 让人联想原文开头 hack into the Pentagon，但那只是开篇打比方说登录难，与『选街道标志照片是为了什么』无关，属听到 hack 就想选的原词陷阱。

  借用原文：trying to hack into the Pentagon

• B)原词陷阱all the guidelines are being followed 借用原文 If you follow all of the guidelines，但原文那句是在罗列守规则有多麻烦，并非解释选照片的目的，词对了、对应错了。

  借用原文：If you follow all of the guidelines

• C)未提及passwords are forgotten 把后文『人会忘密码』这个话题硬塞进本题，但选照片是为了证明你是人，跟『提供忘记密码的证据』毫无关系，原文也没这么说。

What do researchers at a university in Finland aim to do in their new study?

目的信号 in order to help。研究者的真正目标由 in order to help put an end to this frustrating phenomenon 中的 in order to 引出——in order to 是直白的目的信号，它后面才是研究的最终意图。

• help put an end to this frustrating phenomenon↔Help people remember their passwords代词 this 指回忘密码，概括等值

• A)原词陷阱Put an end to the hacking phenomenon 直接搬原文 put an end to this frustrating phenomenon 的 put an end to，却把对象偷换成 hacking（黑客）；原文要终结的是『忘密码』这一令人沮丧的现象，不是黑客现象。

  借用原文：in order to help put an end to this frustrating phenomenon

• C)原词陷阱Reduce the intricacy of the password itself 借了原文反复出现的 the password itself，但研究的发现是『记不记得住与密码本身关系不大』，从未说要降低密码复杂度，是把原词拼成原文没有的目标。

  借用原文：less to do with the password itself

• D)原词陷阱Explain the need for different email accounts 让人想到原文 a different password for every one of your accounts，但那是开篇讲守规则的麻烦，与芬兰研究的目标无关，accounts 这个词被挪用来骗选。

  借用原文：a different password for every one of your accounts

What do the researchers advise websites to do at the end of the passage?

建议信号 advise 直接给出对策。答案由 The researchers advise websites to include more of an incentive for users to log in more often 里的 advise 直接引出——advise 是建议信号，它后面 websites to... 的内容就是研究者给出的对策。

• include more of an incentive for users to log in more often↔Take steps to encourage users to log in more often设激励=采取措施鼓励，同义改写

• A)过度推断Innovate technologies to ensure the safety of users' accounts 蹭全篇的安全 / accounts 话题，但研究者的建议是加登录激励，从未让网站去『创新技术保障账户安全』，是凭话题耳熟编出的拔高项。
• B)原词陷阱Provide incentives for the application of creative passwords 直接搬原文 include more of an incentive 的 incentive，最易骗『听到 incentive 就选』，但原文是为『更常登录』设激励，不是为『使用创意密码』，对象被偷换了。

  借用原文：include more of an incentive for users to log in more often

• C)原词陷阱Explore the possibility of using simpler secret codes 借了原文结尾的 secret codes，但原文那句是说激励的目的（帮人记住密码），研究者并没建议用更简单的密码，词对、意思不对。

  借用原文：help them remember their secret codes

What was the problem Jenny Weiner encountered four years ago?

开篇点题句 + 与题干 four years ago 时间对齐。录音开头 Four years ago, Jenny Weiner was in a fitness slump. 的时间状语 four years ago 与题干完全对齐，是篇章开篇交代背景的点题句，承载本题答案。

• in a fitness slump↔Her fitness fell into a slump.同词换句式：介词短语改写成主谓句，核心词 fitness slump 不变

• A)未提及Her work no longer interested her. 说的是 "工作不再有趣"，但录音通篇只谈健身、训练 app，从未提及她的 work 或兴趣转变，属凭常识脑补的未提及项。
• B)原词陷阱Her training app did not fit her. 借用了原文反复出现的 training 与 app，可录音里 She then discovered the fitness phone app Slimmeretics. 表明 app 是她发现后用来解决问题的工具，并非四年前遇到的问题本身，听到 app 就选正中圈套。

  借用原文：She then discovered the fitness phone app Slimmeretics.

• D)偷换概念Her business deteriorated. 把 "健身低谷" 偷换成 "生意变差"，business 与原文 fitness slump 词形相近、都是 "某事变糟" 的格局，但录音谈的是身体健身状态而非商业，方向被悄悄换掉。

What can the fitness phone app Slimmeretics do according to the passage?

功能描述句：suggest 引出 app 提供的核心服务。A virtual coach then uses that information to suggest a personalised training regime. 用 suggest（推荐/给出）这一动作直接交代了 app 的核心功能——量身定制训练方案，是承载本题答案的功能描述句。

• suggest a personalised training regime↔Design personalised training programmes.近义词替换：suggest→Design、regime→programmes，personalised 原样保留

• A)原词陷阱Help users keep track of their fitness levels. 看似贴合 app 的智能形象，且原文确有 gives feedback 与 adjust future training sessions 这类近似 "追踪/调整" 的表述，但原文说的是据反馈调整训练，从未说帮用户 "记录健身水平"，是借相近语境编出的功能。

  借用原文：the app's artificial intelligence software system gives feedback

• C)原词陷阱Strengthen ties among users worldwide. 借用了原文 its other 53 million users around the world 里 "全球用户" 的字眼，可原文只是说 app 收集这些用户的反馈来优化训练，根本没提让用户彼此 "加强联系"，听到 worldwide users 就选会掉坑。

  借用原文：its other 53 million users around the world

• D)原词陷阱Select well-qualified human coaches. 借用原文反复出现的 human personal trainers/coach，可原文明说 app 配的是 A virtual coach（虚拟教练），并非 app 去挑选真人教练；末尾还有专家称 apps cannot replace human personal trainers，方向恰相反。

  借用原文：A virtual coach then uses that information

Why does the passage say Jenny Weiner now finds the workouts exciting?

因果信号 This is because 紧跟其后的句子即原因。原文先说她觉得训练有趣，紧接 This is because no two are ever the same. 用因果信号 This is because 引出原因——没有两次训练是一样的，正是本题答案落点。

• no two are ever the same↔They are never repeated.肯否结构转换："没有两次相同" = "从不重复"，意思等值

• B)答非所问They help enrich her life. 听来正面、也像 app 的好处，但题问的是 "为何觉得训练 exciting"，原文给的原因明确是 no two are ever the same，而非 "丰富生活"；该项答的是别的问题。
• C)原词陷阱They are of no extreme intensity. 借用了原文 her workouts lacked intensity 中的 intensity，可那句讲的是四年前训练缺乏强度的旧问题，与 "现在为何觉得有趣" 无关，听到 intensity 就选即中招。

  借用原文：her workouts lacked intensity

• D)原词陷阱They keep her focused on her goal. 借用原文 your desired goals 里的 goal，可原文谈 goal 只是说输入资料时填写目标，并未把 "专注目标" 说成她觉得训练有趣的原因，原因仍是 no two are ever the same。

  借用原文：your desired goals

What do some experts think of fitness apps like Slimmeretics?

转折 However + 评价主体 some experts 直接表态。原文前面一直夸 app 效果好，However, some experts think that apps cannot replace human personal trainers. 用转折 However 转向、并由评价主体 some experts 直陈观点，转折后才是本题真意。

• apps cannot replace human personal trainers↔They will not be able to take the place of human personal trainers.近义短语替换：replace = take the place of，human personal trainers 原样保留

• B)原词陷阱They will not be able to comprehend some of the profiles users put in. 借用了原文 It will not comprehend that there are competing interests 的 comprehend，以及输入环节的 profile，可原文说 app 不能理解的是 "人类行为/相互竞争的利益"，而非看不懂用户填的 profiles，对象被偷换。

  借用原文：It will not comprehend that there are competing interests outside of health and fitness.

• C)与原文相反They cannot lead to optimal results with their mathematical approach. 盗用了原文 mathematical approach 与 optimal results，可原文是正面说 The app's mathematical approach can arrange a more meticulous workout schedule. This has led to optimal results.——数学方法"能"带来最优结果，选项加了 cannot 把极性反了。

  借用原文：The app's mathematical approach can arrange a more meticulous workout schedule. This has led to optimal results.

• D)与原文相反They cannot match humans in arranging meticulous workout schedules. 借用原文 meticulous workout schedule，可原文是正面称 The app's mathematical approach can arrange a more meticulous workout schedule.——app 能编排更精细的计划，并非说它在这点上不如真人，方向相反。

  借用原文：The app's mathematical approach can arrange a more meticulous workout schedule.

What do we learn from the conclusion of the Oxford University researchers?

结论标志词 concluded。句末的 Oxford University has concluded 是明确的结论信号，加之这句出现在篇章开头点题处，正是篇章独白把核心论点摆在开头的典型位置，听到 concluded 就该锁定这句是答案句。

• All societies are held together by seven universal moral rules↔All societies are kept together by seven basic moral rulesheld together 同义改写为 kept together

• A)原词陷阱All societies are built upon the cornerstones of basic values. 把第一段后文的 basic values of charity and brotherhood are the cornerstones of successful societies 的原词 cornerstones、basic values 搬了过来，但那句讲的是成功社会的基石，并非研究的总结论本身，听到熟词就选会落进这个陷阱。

  借用原文：basic values of charity and brotherhood are the cornerstones of successful societies

• B)偷换概念Everyone everywhere demonstrates seven character traits. 借了原文出现过的 seven 和第二段的 The character traits held for every kind of community，但研究的结论说的是七条道德规则（rules），而非七种性格特质，把 rules 偷换成 character traits 就跑偏了。

  借用原文：The character traits held for every kind of community

• D)偷换概念Everyone everywhere shares a universal moral standard. 用了第二段 Everyone everywhere shares a common moral code 的熟悉句式，但原文说的是共享一套七条规则的道德准则（code），D 把它笼统说成 a universal moral standard，丢掉了结论里七条规则这一核心，不如 C 精确对应题干问的结论。

  借用原文：Everyone everywhere shares a common moral code

What did the new study by Oxford researchers aim to do?

意图标志 aimed to find out。句中的 aimed to find out whether different societies had different versions of morality 用 aimed to 直陈研究目的，这是目的题最直接的信号，听到 aimed to 即可锁定。

• aimed to find out whether different societies had different versions of morality↔Find out whether different societies had different versions of morality近乎原句，仅去掉 aimed to

• A)原词陷阱Ascertain whether deferring to authority was confined to right-wing people. 把第二段 Dr. Curry 那句里的 deferring to authority 和 right-wing 原词搬来，但那是他举例说明规则的普世性，并非这项研究本身要弄清的目标，听到熟词就选会被带偏。

  借用原文：deferring to authority

• C)偷换概念Make clear whether all societies faced the same moral issues. 听上去和研究目的沾边，但原文目的是查不同社会是否有不同版本的道德，C 反向说成所有社会是否面对相同道德问题，方向被改了。

  借用原文：whether different societies had different versions of morality

• D)原词陷阱Find out whether left-wing people still had a group loyalty. 借了第二段 left-wing people will still have a group loyalty 的原话，但那是 Dr. Curry 论证规则普世性的例子，不是研究要查明的目标，属典型的盗用原句却答非所问。

  借用原文：left-wing people will still have a group loyalty

What does Harvey Whitehouse think social scientists should do to theories of morality?

建议信号 will need to + 转折 rather than。Whitehouse 先说 should now set about testing the theory in the field, rather than relying on old data，再用 they will need to gather new data, more systematically, out in the field 点明做法；need to 是建议信号，rather than relying on old data 则用对比把落点推向新数据。

• gather new data, more systematically, out in the field↔Carry out systematic field studies to gather new data.systematically 名词化、out in the field 转为 field studies

• A)原词陷阱Make independent descriptions of cultures around the world. 搬了原文 These descriptions were made independent of and prior to the theory we're testing 的原词 independent、descriptions，但那是在说本研究所依据的旧资料的来历，不是 Whitehouse 主张今后该做的事，时间方向相反。

  借用原文：These descriptions were made independent of and prior to the theory we're testing

• B)张冠李戴Strive to understand the basic differences between peoples. 借了第三段 Dr. Curry 那句 appreciation of what we have in common and how and why we differ 的差异话题，但那是 Curry 的期望，且题干问的是 Whitehouse 的主张，张冠李戴又跑了题。

  借用原文：appreciation of what we have in common and how and why we differ

• C)与原文相反Appreciate the foundational value of the existing data. 里的 existing data 恰是 Whitehouse 用 rather than relying on old data 明确否定的对象，他主张采集新数据，C 取了被否定的旧数据一侧，方向反了。

  借用原文：rather than relying on old data

What does the speaker say about our eyes?

让步 For all… + 强调 really might。信号是句首让步结构 For all the talk of the tongue（"尽管都在说舌头"）后面才抛出真正主张，再加 our eyes really might be the most important part 里的 "really" 加重语气——让步之后、被强调的那句才是说话人的落点，正是答案句。

• our eyes really might be the most important part of the eating experience↔They might be the most important part of our eating experience.近乎原句、They 替 our eyes

• B)偷换概念B 盗用了第 2 段原词 brain functions。原文说 A great number of our brain functions are dedicated to processing vision——是 "很多脑功能用于处理视觉"，主语是脑功能、用来佐证 eyes 重要；B 把它倒过来说成 "眼睛激活脑功能"，还加了原文没有的 "in a most direct fashion"，是偷换概念，且没回答 "说话人对 eyes 的核心论断"。

  借用原文：A great number of our brain functions are dedicated to processing vision

• C)未提及C 借用了关于眼睛的常见俗语 "心灵的窗户"，听着像常识、最易顺口选中，但整篇录音只把眼睛和 "eating experience（吃的体验）" 挂钩，从未说眼睛是 "心灵的窗户"，属原文未提及，凭常识选它就中招。
• D)与原文相反D 说眼睛会 mislead us（误导我们），是贬义。但答案句对眼睛是高度肯定——our eyes really might be the most important part of the eating experience，说话人在抬高眼睛而非贬低。D 的态度与原文相反，故排除。

  借用原文：our eyes really might be the most important part of the eating experience

What does color actually do according to this lecture?

结果词 the result is + actually。信号是因果收束词 the result is that（"其结果是"）领出全段结论，又叠加 color actually changes how we taste food 里的 "actually"，与题干 "actually do" 直接呼应——结果句 + actually 强调，这就是答案句。

• color actually changes how we taste food↔It changes the way people taste food.how we taste = the way people taste

• A)答非所问A 盗用第 1 段背景里的 "food companies"。原文确说 Food companies know that better color gives better prices，但那是讲公司在意颜色的背景，不是回答 "color actually do（颜色实际起什么作用）"；且原文是公司已经关注，A 说 "growing attention（关注在增长）" 也无依据，属答非所问。

  借用原文：Food companies know that better color gives better prices

• B)与原文相反B 借 eating experience 这个原文反复出现的词（第 2 段就有 the eating experience），却安上 "adversely impacts（负面影响）"。原文从头到尾把颜色讲成 "改变味觉、帮助判断" 的中性甚至有用的作用，从没说颜色 "负面影响" 吃的体验，态度相反，排除。

  借用原文：the most important part of the eating experience

• C)过度推断C 盗用第 1 段 "color is money / better prices" 的卖钱话题，推成 It invariably determines how food sells.。原文只说 better color gives better prices（更好的颜色卖更好的价），是 "有助于"，C 用绝对词 "invariably（无一例外地决定）" 把话说死，超出原文，属过度推断。

  借用原文：better color gives better prices

What does the brain use color to do?

brain + color 同现的机制句。信号是录音第一次把 The brain 和 using color 放进同一句、直接给出动作的机制句 The brain makes predictions using color——题干问 "大脑用颜色做什么"，正是这句把主语、工具、动作三者一次说全，即答案句。

• The brain makes predictions using color↔Make predictions.makes predictions = Make predictions

• A)未提及A 说 Enhance the taste.（增强味道），听着像 "颜色让吃更好" 的常识，但录音讲的是颜色让大脑做预测、形成对甜/酸的预期，从没说颜色 "增强" 味道本身，属原文未提及。
• C)张冠李戴C 盗用第 3 段实验里的原词 "identify the flavor"。原文 each of them identified the orange flavor 说的是 "实验参与者借助看到颜色去辨认味道"，是讲颜色影响味觉的证据；题问的是 "大脑用颜色做什么"，答案是 "做预测"，C 把实验现象当成大脑机制本身，属张冠李戴、答非所问。

  借用原文：each of them identified the orange flavor

• D)未提及D 说 Enrich the eating experience.（丰富吃的体验），借用了贯穿全篇的 "eating experience" 话题词，但原文说大脑用颜色是去 "做预测、形成味觉预期"，从没说颜色用来 "丰富" 吃的体验，属原文未提及。

What does the speaker say many of us search for throughout our lives?

开篇点题句即答案。录音第一句 Searching for meaning is something many of us experience throughout our lives 与题干 throughout our lives 逐词呼应，是典型的‘开篇点题’信号——篇章独白常把核心对象放在第一句领出，这里把 meaning 摆在句首作主语，正是答案所在。

• Searching for meaning↔Meaning动名词短语取其宾语名词

• D)原词陷阱录音紧接着说 having a sense of meaning can bring us happiness，happiness 在这里是‘意义带来的结果’，不是‘人们追寻的东西’。选项 Happiness 盗用了这个刚听到的原词，但答非所问——题目问的是 search for 的对象。

  借用原文：having a sense of meaning can bring us happiness

• B)原词陷阱in the context of financial resources 里 financial resources 是这项研究的考察背景/变量，全篇没说它是‘人们一生追寻的东西’。选项 Financial resources 盗用了后文反复出现的财富一词来诱选。

  借用原文：in the context of financial resources

• A)未提及For some, this meaning is religious, some political and some interpersonal 列举的是意义的种类（宗教、政治、人际），通篇并未把 social status（社会地位）说成人们追寻的东西，属无中生有。

What do Rhia Catapano and colleagues find about economic resources?

find…suggesting 引出结论。录音用 find meaning is a far weaker predictor of happiness…suggesting economic resources can impact how we experience meaning 把研究结论端出来：动词 find 直接对应题干的 find，而 suggesting 之后那半句正是对‘经济资源起什么作用’的定性回答，是结论信号最集中处。

• economic resources can impact how we experience meaning↔They can affect people's experience of meaningimpact=affect 同义替换
• economic resources↔They代词回指经济资源

• D)偷换概念录音说财富影响的是 how we experience meaning（体验意义的方式），并未说它能‘保证整体幸福’。选项 They can ensure people's overall well-being 借用了全篇高频词 happiness 的近义概念 well-being，还把‘影响’夸大成‘保证（ensure）’，对象与程度都改了。

  借用原文：economic resources can impact how we experience meaning

• A)未提及meaning is a far weaker predictor of happiness for rich people than poorer people 谈的是‘穷富之间预测力强弱不同’，从未说‘财富对幸福的影响被长期夸大’。选项 Their effect on people's happiness has long been overstated 凭空造出一个‘被夸大’的评价，是无中生有，正应了预读对 overstated 这个程度词的预警。
• B)原词陷阱录音说差异取决于 income（收入高低），而非 social contexts（社会环境）。第三项研究里虽有 social ladder（社会阶梯）一词，但那是测量财富地位的工具，不是‘随社会环境而变’。选项 Their influence on people's life varies with social contexts 盗用了 social 这个原词来制造熟悉感。

  借用原文：they placed themselves on a "social ladder"

What do we learn about Rhia Catapano and colleagues' second study?

序数词 second 直接定位。录音用序数词把三项研究串起来：first study…second study…final study。题干问 second study，就听 The second study looked at worldwide data 这句——worldwide data（全球数据）是这项研究区别于前后两项的核心特征，序数词是最干净的定位信号。

• worldwide data↔data collected from multiple countriesworldwide=multiple countries

• C)张冠李戴The first study used data from a daily poll of US residents 明说‘分析美国居民每日民调’的是第一项研究，不是第二项。选项 It analysed cases from a daily poll of US residents 盗用了 daily poll of US residents 这串原话，但安到了错的研究上。

  借用原文：The first study used data from a daily poll of US residents

• B)张冠李戴In the final study, French participants indicated 表明‘聚焦法国被试’的是最终那项研究，而非第二项。选项 It focused on the sense of meaning of French participants 盗用 French participants 这一原词，错配到第二项研究上。

  借用原文：In the final study, French participants indicated

• A)与原文相反录音说第二项研究 Happiness was measured using the same questions as in the first study，幸福度用的是与第一项‘相同’的问题；选项 It used questions totally different from those in their first study 恰好把 same（相同）反说成 totally different（全然不同），正话反说。

  借用原文：Happiness was measured using the same questions as in the first study

Why do meaning and happiness have a weaker relationship in those with more resources?

because 引出原因。录音用 This might be the case because rich individuals have more access to other sources of happiness 给出解释，because 是最直接的因果信号，其后那句正是‘富人为何关系更弱’的答案；后面 many of which will be external 进一步点明这些来源是‘外部的’。

• rich individuals have more access to other sources of happiness↔They might have more access to external sources of happinessnear-原词复现+补 external

• B)原词陷阱录音末句 a focus on an internal sense of satisfaction, purpose or meaning is less important 说‘对内部满足/意义的关注变得不那么重要’，这是‘外部来源多’导致的结果，且方向是‘内部变次要’，并非‘富人聚焦内部满足’。选项 They might focus on an individual sense of satisfaction or meaning 盗用 internal/satisfaction/meaning 这串原词，却把因果与方向都说反了。

  借用原文：a focus on an internal sense of satisfaction, purpose or meaning is less important

• C)偷换概念录音的 like lack of stress or community 把 community（社群）举例为‘外部幸福来源之一’，而选项 They might be less easily affected by a community's overall feeling 把 community 改造成‘群体的整体情绪’并说富人‘不易受其影响’，与原文‘社群是一种幸福来源’完全不是一回事。

  借用原文：like lack of stress or community

• D)未提及录音通篇没说富人‘较少受目标未达成的负面打击’。选项 They might be less adversely impacted by failure to achieve a purpose 借 purpose 一词（录音里 purpose 多次出现）拼出一个原文未提的因果，属无中生有。
