section B:
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

Well, I own a small data processing company, in which I employ about eight to ten workers. And the point I want to make has to do with trust. I know it’s possible to force people to be 100% efficient. But I think when you do that, you lose confidence and trust. I let my employees use our equipment and make personal phone calls. They are more than welcome to decide what is right and wrong. Because I think you can’t run a company by just giving orders to robots and watching them like big brother, right? I think you have to trust people and give them a little freedom. And also, as far as phone calls and all that go, I want my people to call home and check on their children and know their children are safe and sound. As a result, I have devoted employees who are willing to go that extra mile and I can honestly say they show up to work smiling. So I get more satisfaction and rewards by trusting my employees than by suspecting them of doing something wrong.

Questions:

1. Which of the following does the speaker allow his employees to do?

A. Use the company’s equipment.    B. Give orders to robots

C. Make decisions for the company.   D. Act as Big Brother.

四个断句文章中都能听到，想蒙混过关比较难。能听懂最好，听不懂么：A前面可以听到let, BCD前面可以听到can't,这个倒是可以有~~嘿嘿~~

2. What result does the speaker expect to see under his management?

  A. Employees gain full freedom.      B. Employees suspect one another.

  C. Employees’ children are happy.   D. Employees enjoy working there.

  A是满口话，满口话不好乱讲的。没有真正的完全的自由。其余的凭常识就知道了，肯定是D。老板要么希望员工做牛做马，要么明主快乐。根据文章的主基调就知啦啦啦~

3. What does the speaker consider important in running a small company?

   A. Reward.    B. Safety.       C. Trust.   D. Honesty.

  唉~啥也不想说了，看下面的总评就知道了。

我不愿意逐字逐句去翻译这篇文章，相信高一的同学都能翻译出来。我讲讲该怎么做对题哈。听力只有一遍，上海试卷问题不出现在纸上，所以听之前没有侧重，必须全文集中精神听。这段的高频词相当滴明显啊：trust。出现了3次以上，想要判断不出来真心很难。而且第一次出现的时候前面还有个point。主要就说让员工自己判断对错，让他们经常与家人联系，这样工作效率会更高。没有任何生僻的单词和句型，但是听的时候最好把主线理出来，甲乙丙丁列出来。好记性不如烂笔头。

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

The roots of Canadian English can be found in the events which followed the American revolution of 1776. Those who had supported Britain found themselves unable to stay in the new United States, and most went to Canada. They were soon followed by many thousands who were attracted by the cheapness of land. Within 50 years, the population of upper Canada had reached 100 thousand, mainly people from the United States. In the east, the Atlantic provinces had been settled by English speakers as early as the 15th century, but even today, these areas contain less than ten per cent of the population, so that they have only a limited role in the development of Canadian English. In Quebec, the majority of people use French as a mother tone. Here English and French exist together but uneasily. Because of its origins, Canadian English has a great deal in common with the rest of the English spoken in North America, and is often difficult to distinguish for people who live outside the region. To British people, Canadians may sound American; to Americans, they may sound British. Canadians themselves insist on not being identified with either, and certainly, there is a great deal of evidence in support of this view.

Questions:

4. Why did many Americans leave for Canada after the revolution?

A. Canada had a smaller population.  B. Land was cheaper in Canada.

C. They wanted to continue the Revolution. D. They were against Britain

没什么难度哦，文章是叙述性的，能听到：被cheapness吸引了。

5. What can we learn about people in the Atlantic Provinces?

   A. They standardized Canadian English.

   B. They settled there after the Revolution.

   C. They enjoy a very high social position.

   D. They make up a small part of the population.

数据记下来了伐。反省下。平时多听听力，听听力！在下推荐《全新英语听力》，回去听，有高考版的。蛮难的，不错的。受挫受多了就习惯成自然了。恩。相信我。

6. What conclusion can be drawn about Canadian English from this passage?A. It is considered unique to some extent.   B. It is greatly influenced by French.

     C. It is mainly linked to British culture.       D. It dates back to the late 17th century.

这题没听懂的同学会很无语的。因为是概括题。BC在扯淡，也不看看加拿大的邻居是谁，D以偏概全。八过实在没听懂的也只能在A和C里面点麻油了~

这篇文章哦！这篇文章哦！！！太尼玛坑爹了！我第一次听到真心鸡冻，血压飙升啊。主要还是文化背景不熟悉，很容易造成心理障碍~~考加拿大英语一刚~它是1776年美国革命以后慢慢形成的语言，大部分的移民都是来自美国，因为加拿大的土地便宜。文章里还有人口数量啦，魁北克主要语言是法语和加拿大英语啥的。我觉得吧，这篇文章大家也别指望能听懂前因后果，最重要的一点是：淡定！表慌，慌撒。其次就是记录，把听到的数据和其他信息能记录的全部都记下来，尽量听懂大致的脉络，已经阿弥陀佛了~
