听力原文：Closeness and Personal SpaceGood morning, everyone. Today, we’ll talk about closeness and personal space. Every culture has different levels of physical closeness appropriate to different types of relationship, and individuals learn these distances from the society in which they grew up. When someone violates an appropriate distance, people may feel uncomfortable or defensive. Their actions may well be open to misinterpretation.In Western society, four distances have been defined according to the relationship between the people involved. They are intimate distance,

personal distance, social distance, and public distance. These four distances are associated with the four main types of relationship-- intimate, personal, social and public.Now we’ll talk about the four personal distances one by one.First, we’ll begin with intimate distance. Intimate distance ranges from close contact, such as touching, to 45cm. In British society, it tends to be seen as an inappropriate distance for public behaviour and entering the intimate space of another person with whom you do not have a close relationship can be extremely disturbing.Next, let’s look at the second type of distance, personal distance, which ranges from 45cm to 1.2m. The far phase of personal distance is considered to be the most appropriate for people holding a conversation. At this distance it is easy to see the other person’s expressions and eye movements, as well as their overall body language. Handshaking can occur within the bounds of personal distance.OK, let’s move onto the third type of personal distance, social distance, which covers the range from 1.2m to 3.6m. This is the normal distance for impersonal business, for example working together in the same room or during social gatherings. Seating is also important; communication is far more likely to be considered as a formal relationship if the interaction is carried out across a desk. In addition, if the seating arrangements are such that one person appears to look down on another, an effect of domination may be created. At a social distance, speech needs to be louder and eye contact remains essential to communication, otherwise feedback will be reduced and the interaction may end.Finally, the last type of personal distance is public distance, which ranges from 3.7m to 4.5m. Teachers and public speakers address groups at a public distance. At such distances exaggerated non-verbal communication is necessary for communication to be effective. Subtle facial expressions are lost at this distance, so clear hand gestures are often used as a substitute. Larger head movements are also typical of an experienced public speaker who is aware of changes in the way body language is perceived at longer distances.OK, today we’ve taken a brief look at the four personal distances associated with four main types of relationship. It is worth noting that these distances are considered the norm in Western society. Understanding these distances allows us to approach others in non-threatening and appropriate ways. We can understand how others feel about us, how they view the relationship and, if appropriate, adjust our behaviour accordingly.

听力原文：W: Good afternoon, Mr. White. You are in my American History 201 class, right? How can I help you today?M: It’s about my term paper. I know it’s due next Monday, but I was hoping... I don’t think I can get it done by then. Could I please turn it in by the end of next week instead? I have a really good excuse.W: Oh, I’m sure you do! I’ve been teaching 33 years. Do you know how many excuses I’ve heard?

“My dog ate my paper.” “My roommate had a party so I couldn’t concentrate.” “I have seven papers due on the same day!” “I went home to see my parents and my car broke down.” My favorite was a student who told me she “forgot” all about her term paper until the day before it was due. It’s amazing she remembered to come to class.M: I didn’t forget, madam. I’ve been working on the paper, really! Here, I brought my outline and a rough draft. It’s just that... Well, a lot of things have been going on in my life, and I’m having trouble managing things.W: I see. You know, I assigned that paper four weeks ago, and I’ve been reminding students about it in each class. So, tell me your story. What’s happening in your life?M: First, about two weeks ago, my roommate found out his mother was real sick. So he’s been really upset, and, uh,well, I went home with him for a couple of days to see his mom. That caused me to miss biology lab, and I have a huge biology final coming up on Tuesday that I really need to study for this weekend. Then I got the flu last week, and missed a day of class. I tried to work on your paper that day, but I really felt horrible...W: OK, I can understand that. I’m glad that you’re helping your roommate through a tough time. That’s more important than school work. But all this seems to have happened recently. What about the two weeks after I first assigned the term paper?M: I guess I didn’t use that time very well. I kind of put off getting started on it.W: Yes, you did. You know, if I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard a student say that...M: I’m sorry, Professor. I’ve learned my lesson. If I had spent just a little bit of time each week on the paper, I could have had it done on time. I know now that I need to plan for unexpected things.W: You seem like a bright, conscientious young man. So I’ll tell you what. This time you can turn in your paper no later than 9 a.m.Friday, right here on my office desk.M: Thank you, Professor! You bet I will.This is the end of Conversation One.Questions 1-5 are based on Conversation One.1. Why does the man visit the woman?2. What is the man’s excuse?3. According to the man, what happened to his roommate?4. What lesson has the man learned from talking to the woman?5. What does the woman think of the man?

12．

A．To request an extension on a deadline. B．To get advice about time management. C．To ask for help in writing the term paper. D．To make excuses for the overdue term paper.

正确答案：A

解析：①选项都是动词不定式，由此可知题目与原因或目的相关。②对话开头男士说论文周一要交，但是他那时做不完，问女士能否到下周末交。由此可知他来找女士的目的是A“请求延长最后期限”。③B“获取关于时间管理的建议”与男士说的about my term paper不符。C“请求帮忙写论文”也只是用term paper设置干扰。D“为过期未交的学期论文找借口”则是利用excuses设置干扰，男士提excuses的原因是为了获得延长上交论文的时间，所以D项也是错误的。 知识模块：听力

13．

A．His paper was eaten by a dog.

B．He has seven papers due on the same day. C．He has forgotten about the paper. D．He has difficulty managing things.

正确答案：D

解析：①录音中提到，学生说自己由于最近事情比较多，没有安排好时间，无法在截止日期前完成学期论文，D项has difficulty managing things是概括表达，故正确。②A“论文被狗吃了”、B“有几篇论文都是同一天要交”和C“忘记了”都是其他学生以前说过的借口。 知识模块：听力

14．

A．He failed an exam. B．His dog was missing. C．His mother was ill. D．He caught the flu.

正确答案：C

解析：①对话中男士说到他室友的母亲病了，心里很难过，所以他陪室友回家几天看望室友的母亲，因此耽误了学期论文的写作，可知正确答案是C。②A“考试没及格”和B“狗不见了”在录音中没有提到。男士说到他上周得了flu，但不是他室友得流感，所以D项也不对。 知识模块：听力

15．

A．He shouldn’t help his roommate next time. B．He needs plans to deal with unexpected things. C．He should take exercise and get healthier. D．He should have the term paper done on time.

正确答案：B

解析：①男士说到通过这件事，他已经吸取了教训，知道自己应该安排好时间，而且对于意料之外的事情也要做好相应的计划和准备，预留充足的时间，所以答案选B。②对话中女士肯定了男士陪室友回去看他母亲的做法，所以A“下次不应该帮室友”错误。C“他应该要好好锻炼，让自己更健康”在对话中没有提到。D项“他应该按时完成学期论文”并不是男士在此次谈话中得到的教训，也不能选。 知识模块：听力

16．

A．He is honest. B．He is helpful.

C．He is conscientious. D．He is conscious.

正确答案：C

解析：①选项都是对He的评价，听音时注意相关信息。②女士听完男士解释后，肯定了他帮人的做法，同时提醒他下次要合理安排好时间应对突发事件。最后她夸男士有良心(conscientious)，故C项正确。D项conscious”自觉的，有意识的”是conscientious的近音干扰。 知识模块：听力

听力原文：M: Hi! Welcome to WebWare. Sit down please.W: Thanks, nice to see you again.M: You too. So, you said you wanted to come in and have a chat with me before you start your work here. Tell me about it.W: Yeah, I just want to have a look round and ask a few more questions. I’m wondering whether it is okay for me to do so.M: Of course, just fire away with your questions!W: Well, first of all, I was surprised when I received the e-mail about the offer. Thank you for trusting me, and I am delighted to receive the job offer...M: Good! And we are delighted to offer it to you.W: But... before I sign the contract there are one or two specifics I want to talk about.M: Ok... “specifics”? Tell me what they are.W: Well. I read from your last e-mail that there is a pay scale, instead of a fixed salary. Is that right?M: Yes, you’re quite right about it. As a new employee in our company, you’d be at the lower end of the pay scale. And of course, things get changed later when you continuously bring contribution to the company.W: But taking my experience into account...M: Well, you haven’t had that much experience-- we see you as an investment...W: But that salary would only be a little more than I’m making now. So, instead of asking for a higher level on the pay scale, I thought this could be compensated by adding certain bonuses, for instance if I make certain sales targets, or even break them, I would be looking for a good cash payment, or stock options in the company. Would it be possible?M: Well, that is something we sometimes offer to senior members of staff, but to show good faith I’ll provisionally offer you the bonus scheme, but I’ll have to okay it with Philip first.W: That’s fine. One more thing, I also see there are 25 days holiday.M: Yes. That’s standard.W: It’s not very much for a high pressure job though...M: I’m sorry I can’t offer you any more holiday. Only the staff who work here for over three years can get extra days, so you will get more holiday after you work here for a longer time.W: No, I don’t mean that. But I was wondering if I could delay the start date-- so instead of starting a week from now, as we discussed, I could start in a month’s time?M: You’re a tough negotiator, Madison!W: That’s one of the reasons you hired me!M: Yes, of course. Okay, I think we can do that. I’ll look forward to seeing you in a month, and earning those bonuses!This is the end of Conversation Two.Questions 6-10 are based on Conversation Two.6. Why does the woman go to see the man?7. What does the man say about the pay scale in his company?8. What requirement does the woman make about the salary?9. What is the holiday policy in the company?10. What does the man think of the woman?

17．

A．She goes to sign the contract with the man. B．She wants to enquire about some details. C．She intends to thank the man for his help. D．She just wants to visit the office in advance.

正确答案：B

解析：①男士在对话开头开门见山，说“你说来的目的是想在入职前和我谈谈”。而这一说法得到了女士的肯定，她说“是的，我只是想来看看，还有问一些问题”。由此可见，B项“她想问一些细节问题”为正确答案。②A项“她来与男士签合同”和C项“她想来感谢男士的帮忙”不符合对话内容，故不正确。D项“她只是想提前参观办公室”不是女士来的主要目的，也不正确。 知识模块：听力

18．

A．The pay scale is just the same as the fixed salary. B．A new employee is at the lower end of the pay scale. C．Employee’s pay scale level here will not be changed. D．The pay scale changes according to the contribution.

正确答案：B

解析：①选项中多次提到the pay scale，听音时需注意相关信息。②对话中，女士问男士公司的工资级别标准时，男士说公司的新员工会领取最低工资级别的薪水，但是当不断为公司做出贡献时，情况就会不一样(即不再是最低级别)。由此可见，B项“新员工位于工资级别标准的低级别”符合对话内容，为正确答案。③稍有干扰的是D项“工资级别标准会根据贡献的多少而改变”，个人的工资会随着个人的贡献的多少而改变，而不是各个级别的工资标准会改变。 知识模块：听力

19．

A．She wants to reach a higher level on the pay scale. B．She requires the man to give her stock options now. C．She is looking forward to a cash payment as a bonus. D．She wants to get money compensation from the man.

正确答案：C

解析：①根据选项中的higher level，stock options，bonus，compensation，可预测问题可能与女士对公司的要求有关。②当男士表示没有办法调整她的薪酬级别时，女士说如果完成或超过一定的销售额时，可以通过增加奖励的方式来进行补偿，她个人期待得到一些现金奖励或者公司股票的提前认购权。由此可见，C项“她期待有现金奖励”符合对话内容，为正确答案。 知识模块：听力

20．

A．Employee in a senior position can get more holiday. B．Employee who work longer there get more holiday. C．Employee only get holiday after two years of work. D．Employee’s holiday there has been settled and fixed.

正确答案：B

解析：①预读选项可知，问题关于假期政策。②当女士问到年假时，男士说

“只有工作满三年的员工才能获得额外的年假，工作时间长了，自然就会有更多的年假了”。由此可见，B项“在那里工作时间长的人能获得更多假期”符合对话内容，为正确答案。 知识模块：听力

21．

A．She is too hard to communicate with. B．She deserves more bonuses and holiday. C．She is asking too many bonuses from him. D．She is a negotiator who is hard to deal with.

正确答案：D

解析：①预读选项可知，问题关于对女士的评价。②在对话的最后，女士又向男士提要求说，希望可以把入职时间推迟到一个月之后，男士听完之后感叹道：“你真是一个不折不挠、难以对付的磋商者”。根据这一对话内容可知，D项为正确答案。 知识模块：听力
