Compound dictation

　　We're now witnessing the emergence of the advanced economy based on information and knowledge. Physical labor, raw materials and capital are no longer the key ingredients in the creation of wealth. Now the vital raw material in our economy is knowledge. Tomorrow's wealth depends on the development and exchange of knowledge. And individuals entering the work force offer their knowledge, not their muscles. Knowledge workers get paid for their education and their ability to learn. Knowledge workers engage in mind work. They deal with symbols, words, figures, and data.

　　What does all this mean for you?

　　As a future knowledge worker, you can expect to be generating, processing as well as exchanging information. Currently, three out of four jobs involve some form of mind work. And that number will increase sharply in the future. Management and employees alike will be making decisions in such areas as product development, quality control, and customer satisfaction.

　　In the new world of work, you can look forward to being in constant training to acquire new skills that will help you keep up with improved technologies and procedures.

　　You can also expect to be taking greater control of your career. Gone are the nine to five jobs, lifetime security, predictable promotions, and even the conventional workplace as you're familiar with. Don't expect the companies will provide you with a clearly defined career path, and don't wait for some one to empower you. You have to empower yourself.

　　這次復合試聽寫的話題考生并不會感到陌生，是講知識在信息時代的重要性以及建議人們應該自己武裝自己，因為知識就是力量。

　　對于填寫的單詞來講，基本符合我們上課所講的三種范圍，即長詞，較偏詞和尾巴詞，只要考生做到細心核對，應該問題不大。

　　本次三個句子的聽寫相對來說難度有所提高，因為本身句子結構較為復雜，包含一定的從句，并且其中涉及的詞匯也較為書面化，例如satisfaction，procedures 和path。但是只要考生正確運用我們昂立課上講解的方法，即第一遍先聽核心意思，用最快的方法記下，第二遍把句子主干寫下來，第三遍再修正補充，應該還是可以拿到基本的分數的。
