11development.PartIIReadingComprehension(SkimmingandScanning)1.A.由题干中的bothered,Tiffany,duringaninterview,定位到第一段第二、三句。文中提到，Tiffany在面试时注意到应聘者不敢跟他们进行目光的交流。文章中的puzzled和disappointed与题干中的bother是同义表述。选项A与文章内容完全一致。2.C.该题比较难定位。由题干中的misjudgment一词可以勉强将答案锁定在第三段第二句。该题主要是考查对题干中短语stemmedfrom(源自于)的辨认和理解，还考察Tiffany错误判断的原因，而选项中的ignorance（无知）与misunderstanding意义相近，因此C正确.3.B.由题干becomingessential定位到第五段最后一句。文章指出“随着世界变得越来越小，增进对别人的了解变得十分必要”，文中theworldbecomessmaller正是题干中的economicglobalization所要表达的含义。选项B中的Increasing是对文中expand的词义转述。4.B.由题干MindsetsLLC定位到第一个小标题下第一段最后两句。根据原文中training一词不难判断，该机构是一个培训机构，选项B与此相符。5.D.由题干中的Dale定位到第二个小标题下第一段最后三句。该小标题的主要内容是在说明隐性别的原因造成对他人认识的偏差。文章以Dale为例说明参加这种学习班的作用，并且从后面一段中Dale的亲身经历来说明，参加该班的作用对Dale来说就是消除了他在性别上的偏见。选项D与此相符。6.C.因为第二个小标题下通篇都在讲Dale和workshop，答案没有明确的出处，这时可以看该标题下的首段与末段，通常会讲到陈述人的观点。该题是在考查Dale对MindsetsLLCworkshop的认识。根据第二个标题下最后一段末句可以确定答案为C.7.A.由题干ChineseAmericanemployee定位到第三个小标题下第二段最后两句。文章提到当一个华裔美国人向Doug请假去庆祝新年时，他认为这个华人弄错了日期，从Igavehimalongtalking-toaboutturninginrequestsearlywiththeproperdates一句可以看出当时Doug对他的反映就是A选项所表达的意思。8.embarrassed.由题干中的Doug定位到第三个小标题下面第三段第三句。题干与原文句子几乎一样，可以直接锁定答案。9.inclusiveness.此题无法通过信号词来定位。题干考查的的是参加完Mindset’sworkshop的收获，根据文章最后一个标题下第一段后半部分对myboss参加Mindset’sworkshop的作用的描述，以及Itwasn’tuntilmybossreceivedMindset’straining…wastocustomerservice可以得出答案为inclusiveness，意为“包容性”。10.differencesandsimilarities.由题干中的viewpeopleasindividualsandgetridofstereotypes定位到全文倒数第二段第一、二句。题干中的benefitfrom和文章中的takingadvantageof可以理解为同义转述，由此可以直接锁定答案。听力原文PartⅢListeningComprehensionSectionAShortConversations
