【评析】

本文选自DaveEllis的著作BecomingaMasterStudent其中的一个章节：

Loveyourproblemsandexperienceyourbarriers，本文主要介绍了解决问题的三种办法，第一种是直接无视它，就当不存在；第二种是正视它，挑战它，第三种则是爱上困难，充分体验。

然后又给出两个观点，教你更容易地应用这些办法。

总体而言，难度不大，文章选材方面还是比较中规中矩的，关于问题和困难的相关话题也是考生比较熟悉的部分。

词汇方面也没有什么难词偏僻词，考生应该不会感到太难。

【评析】

本篇文章内容难度适中。

虽然其中穿插长句子。

但是问题答案都是文章中可以直接听出来的。

举例说明能帮助大家很好的理解内容。

因此在听的时候，要有上下文的概念，前面如有长句没听懂，注意后面的例子说明。

全文的意思就一目了然了。

本篇话题是“孩子如何学习社会行为”。

主要集中的讲的是家庭这个社会单元对孩子行为的影响。

并且提到孩子学习社会行为的三种方式：

奖励、惩罚、模范。

本课中主要讲的是“奖励”这种方式。

关键词：

Socialbehavior社会行为，社交行为Socialstructure社会结构

【评析】

本段听力讲述的是男同学周一没有去上课，来询问女同学老师给出的期末论文题目是什么。

恰巧老师给出的是4个话题以供挑选，女同学没有记下所有的话题，只是凭记忆讲述了两个话题给男同学听。

男同学在已知的话题中倾向于写“theideaofprogressinthe19thcentury”，因为他喜欢这方面知识，而且之前也有阅读。

问题都是常见细节题，涉及所给话题数目、话题告知方式等，难度不大，只要认真听不难得出答案。
