Passage One
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
篇章類題目還是需要關注文章開頭3句和結尾3句，這兩處是最易出題并且喜歡以原文出現答案。26題，開篇第一句就出示了答案：“Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers”；30題第二句：“If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager.”，后面還有幾句在繼續說這個問題，如果這句沒聽出來，可根據后面的意思也能猜測出答案，如：“Be polite. Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere.”；33題開頭第三句：“before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government.”。另外，篇章1將近結尾處出現“Half of our managers are women.” 既是28題答案。篇章2結尾處也出現了“Be business-like and stick to the point. Don’t spend a paragraph on how your Uncle Joe tried to fix the problem and couldn’t”作者亦指出投訴要抓住要點，不要長篇大論。
“聽到什么選什么原則”除了上面的26、28、30、32、33之外，篇章2出現“You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you can not see, so you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting”，31題答案幾乎原文出現；篇章3中段也同樣出現了”If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week”, 所以34題正確答案“Do some volunteer work”。另外，35題原文中“not think…..can replace”被“is no replacement for…”替換。
整體篇章類沒有特別較難的題目，難度自passage one 依次遞減。三篇文章內容雖然有趣，但是做題游刃有余還是不容易，passage one 是三篇中較難的一篇，但是由于篇頭篇尾規矩的以原文出現答案，降低了題目的難度。后兩篇比較貼近生活，邊聽邊看，確定哪個選項能夠最大程度的吻合。Passage three 的話題與2006年12月份的真題 某篇章話題極為相似，再次印證了重復做歷年真題的重要性。
