4.B此题的定位词为Mindsets LLC。专有名词十分显眼，在第一个小标题下的第一段有对这家公司的描述：helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots，结合上下文给出的例子，选B。

5.D Dale这个名字出现在小标题“Blinded by Gender〞局部，其实即可以判断答案为D。原文对应的句子为：I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases〔不应该存有性别偏见〕into the situation,I needed to…

6.C此题与上题问的都是Dale参加完workshop的收获，答案也在一起，即Dale credits〔称赞〕the workshop,“because it helped me make decisions based on fairness.〞，选C，It helped him make fair decisions。

7.A Doug这个名字出现在小标题“Year of Know-it-all〞局部，当他的美籍华裔员工向他请假过春节时，他的第一反响是I assumed he had his dates wrong,并且gave him a long talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates。

8.embarrassed此题答案非常明确，原文为I(Dough)felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up.

9.inclusiveness此题稍带总结性，在“Year of Know-it-all〞以及“A Better Bottom Line〞两局部，参与者都提到了inclusiveness的重要性：Doug admits.“The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more‘inclusive’to differences.〞，以及These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales.而在倒数第二段，作者也作了总结：Once we start to see people as individuals and discard the stereotypes,we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone.

10.differences and similarities此题题干几乎与原文完全一致，在倒数第二段，即Once we start to see people as individuals and discard the stereotypes,we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone.Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities.

Part III Listening Comprehension

Section A

11.D原文：W:There were more than a hundred people at Kate's birthday party.How come she's got so many friends?

M:It's really no surprise.Yoknow she was popular even when she was a child.

Q:What does the man imply about Kate?

推理题。问题问的是“imply〞〔暗示〕，即需要对原文进行推理。男士对Kate的说法是she was popular even when she was a child〔她是孩子时就很受欢送了〕，那么现在有一百多人参加她的生日晚会也缺乏为奇，所以选D。

12.C原文：M:They say there'll be a snow-storm tonight,and the cold weather will last quite a few days.

W:Oh!We're so lucky,we'll be getting away for a while,and having a holiday in Florida.But let's call right now to confirm our flight.

Q:What do we learn about the two speakers?

语言点：Be used to doing习惯做某事

场景题。本文的场景是两人在讨论度假方案，原文非常明确：we'll be getting away for a while,and having a holiday in Florida.已经可以判断C，They are going to have a holiday为正确答案。A、B、D都是对对话中细节的混淆，the cold weather will last只是说有寒流到来，并非they are not used to living in a cold place〔不习惯住在冷的地方〕；have a holiday in Florida也不是live in Florida；至于air ticket，原文明确说的是confirm our flight〔确认航班〕，可见已经订票。

13.B原文：W:Tony was awarded a medal for rescuing several families from the forest fire.

M:I really admire his courage.

Q:What do we learn about Tony from the conversation?

语言点：Award sb.sth./award sth.to sb.授予某人某物Accuse sb.of sth./be accused of sth.因为某事〔被〕指责

主旨题。原文说Tony因为rescuing several families from the forest fire〔丛森林大火中救出了好几家人〕而获得奖章，所以男士说I really admire his courage〔敬佩他的勇气〕，答案为B。D〔他被指责引起了大火〕明显是错误的，A〔Tony很快乐获得奖章〕及C〔Tony曾经是救火队员〕都不符合原文。

14.B原文：M:My washing machine is more than fifteen years old and it has worked just fine until last night.

W:You'll never be able to get parts for it,even from Japan.So it might be time to invest a more recent model.

Q:What does the woman suggest the man do?

语言点：Part零件Invest投资

建议题。原文有非常明显的建议句型：it might be time to do sth.〔是该做…的时候了〕，女士的建议是：So it might be time to invest a more recent model.〔是时候投资一台更新款式的洗衣机了〕，所以选B。A为干扰项，invest通常是投资的意思，但这里仅指投资买洗衣机，而非make a profitable investment〔进行有利可图的投资〕。

15.D原文：W:I heard about your promotion,yomust be thrilled.

M:Not really,the new office is huge,but the work load has doubled.

Q:What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

语言点：Promotion升职Thrilled兴奋的Work load工作负担

态度题。问题问的是男士对于升职的态度，女士说yomust be thrilled〔你一定很兴奋吧〕，男士答复not really，已经可以确定D为正确答案；他进一步给出了解释，虽然办公室很大，但是the work load has doubled〔工作负担增加了一倍〕，但并不能从中看出he finds the work load unbearable〔不可忍受的〕。

16.D原文：W:I can't decide what to do about the party tomorrow。

M:Yodon't have to go if yodon't want to,but I'll be glad to give yoa ride if yodo。

Q:What do we learn from the conversation?

语言点：Give yoa ride开车带你一段

细节题。女士不知道明天的party该不该去，男士那么说I'll be glad to give yoa ride if yodo〔如果你去的话，我可以开车带你〕，所以选D。此题的重点是要理解what to do，这里指的是whether to go to the party。

17.C原文：M:Now if yohave any questions about the contract.I'll be happy to answer them.

W:Nothing comes to mind right now,but I'd like to go over all the articles of the contract once more before signing it.
