idiomdoesessentiallyaboutloss,particularlythelossofromanticlove.Whydoeslovedie?
M: (12)People often get into love affairs because they have unrealistic expectations about somebody. Then when
the person doesn’t turn out to be who they thought he or she was, they start thinking “maybe I can change him or
her.” That kind of thinking is a mistake. Because when the dust settles, people are going to be pretty much what
theyare.It’sararethingforanybodytobeabletochangewhotheyreallyare.Andthiscreatesalotofproblems.
W: At 62, you continue to spend a large percentage of your life touring. What appeals to you about life on the
road?

12、A)。事实细节题。对话中女士问男士为什么情不能永葆活力，男士说人们陷人恋爱关系时，往往都对
他人抱着一种不切实际的期待，如果对方与自己想象的不一样，则希望对方能够为自己而改变，可实际上,
人们很难真正改变。
13、D)。推理判断题。对话中女士问男士，他已经 62岁了，还经常到处走动，是什么吸引着他一直行走
在路上，男士毫不犹豫地说是音乐促使他前行，他认为如果一个人有幸能去做他自己真正喜爱的事情，他
就触碰到了生活的极致。由此可见，男士所做的正是他自己喜欢做的事情。
14、 C)。细节辨认题。对话中女士问男士人们最容易对知名音乐家所产生的错误概念是什么，男士明确地
说，人们认为知名音乐家的生活只有光辉，这是不对的，生活对他们并不比对待普通人更加仁慈。
15、B)。观点态度题。对话中女士问男士走到哪儿都会被人认出来的感觉如何，男士说，按说他应该已经
习惯了这种感觉，但事实是，他依然感觉十分惊异，他举了一个例子，他曾经到过一个日本小镇，那里的
人根本不会英语，但却一下子就认出他来，还通过音乐与他交流。fascinating和amazed 的意思相似，都表
示“惊异的，惊喜的”。

Changing technology andmarkets have stimulated the team approach to management. Inflation, resourcescarcity,
reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscore the need for better coordination in organizations.
Team management provides for this coordination. Team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is
to be fully realized. (16) Although a team may be composed of knowledgeable people, they must learn new ways
of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems. When teams consist of experienced
employees from hierarchical organizations who have been conditioned to traditional organizational culture,

serves. A group of individuals is not automatically a team. Therefore, team building may be necessary in order to
improvethegroups performance.Casey, anexpertinthis field,suggests thatthecooperationprocesswithin teams
must be organized, promoted and managed. He believes that team corporation results when members go beyond
their individual capabilities, beyond what each is used to being and doing. Together, the team may then produce
something new, unique and superior to that ofany one member. For this to happen, he suggests the multi-cultural
managers exhibit understanding of their own and other’s cultural influences and limitations. They should also
cultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence and patience, as well as assertedness. (18)If a team
manager exemplifies such qualities, then the team as a whole would be better able to realize their potential and

22-25听力原文
Advertisinginformsconsumers abouttheexistenceandbenefitsof products andservicesandattempts topersuade
them to buy them. (22) The best form of advertising is probably word-of-mouth advertising which occurs when
people tell their friends about the benefits of products or services that they have purchased. Yet virtually no
providers of goods or services rely on this alone, but use paid advertising instead. (23)Indeed many organizations
also use institutional or prestige advertising which is designed to build up their reputation rather than to sell
particular products. (24) Although large companies could easily set up their own advertising departments, write
their own advertisements and buy media space themselves, they tend to use the services of large advertising
agencies. These are likely to have more resources and more knowledge about all aspects of advertising and
advertising media thana single company. It is also easier for a dissatisfied company to give its accountto another
agency than it would be to fire its own advertising staff. The client company generally gives the advertising
agency an agreed budget, a statement of the objectives of the advertising campaign, known as a brief and an
overall advertising strategy concerning the message to be communicated to the target customers. The agency
creates advertisements anddevelops a media plan, specifying which media will be used andin which proportions.
(25) Agencies often produce alternative ads or commercials that are pre-tested in newspapers, television stations,

品或服务向朋友推荐。
23、B)。目的原因题。短文中提到很多机构通过广告公司进行宣传，并不一定是想要销售产品，而更多的
是想树立起企业或公司的良好声誉。
24、A)。细节辨认题。短文中提到，虽然对于大公司来说，建立自己的广告部门、自己撰写广告方案、购
买媒体空间都并不是多么困难的事情，但他们还是倾向于借助大型广告公司所提供的服务来做广告。
25、D)。细节推断题。短文最后提到，广告公司在向全国投放广告之前，通常会先小范围地在报纸、电视
等渠道上进行测试，也就是说，他们会在特定地区进行广告试验。
