Section A 短對話部分主要考察考生對英語日常生活用語，包括一些基礎習慣用語，簡單隱喻的掌握。有條件的考生平時可以通過觀看國內一些大型視頻平臺引進的英美電視劇或者電影積累這方面的語言知識點。不光要通過字幕了解特定句型、搭配的釋義，還要注意相關詞句的發音，掌握包括連讀、吞音等基礎語音現象。
Section B 篇章題主要考察的還是同學們信息，尤其是細節內容捕捉的能力。當然，好記性永遠不如爛筆頭。在做聽力篇章題時，適當的實時速記筆記是非常重要的，可以及時記下一些之后解答可能會涉及到的信息。第一篇講述的是同學們相對熟悉的內容---午睡。適當的午睡可以提高下午工作（學習）效率，這是大家都深有體會的。文章提到了若干個公司在為員工提供午睡便利性上的措施以及員工的正向反饋。第二篇為網絡科技主題，提到了網絡搜索的劣勢，介紹了一種人工搜索的相對優勢，其性質類似于近兩日上了熱搜的某搜題app。
Section C 長對話的內容較為生活化。一男一女討論暑假實習工作的問題。由于對話較長，問題較多，建議大家在聽的過程中還是要勤動筆，把一些預感可能會在考察到的細節信息記錄下來。

Section B
It's a daily struggle known to office workers the world over. A productive morning rewarded with a decent lunch, and then, at about 3 pm, there comes the irresistible sleepiness. A short nap can promote alertness and improve performance, which are important when you are at work. Now, many companies with a strong commitment to employee wellness have realized the benefits of on-site napping. UU corporation, a consulting company, has a flexible approach. Employees can take a nap for 30 minutes at most, any time between 1 pm. and 4 pm. Another company Tim and Jerry's, which already offers employees personal trainers, now supplies a room with a bed and pillows that employees can use as needed. One of its representatives says if people need to catch a little nap during the day, we're behind it. An IT firm New Link allows its employees to take a 20-minute power nap at their desks. Introduced two years ago, the policy has proved a huge hit. Mr. Lynn, an accountant in New Link, told a local newspaper: “If I use a calculator when l am sleepy, I have to double check my work, for fear of making mistakes. So it takes longer. Thanks to the policy, my work performance has improved.”

Search engines have completely changed how we access information and who we get it from. They are fast, easy and great. But there are too many questions you can't look up online. Some are too complex because they have two or more parts, and others are impossible to search because you can't remember a name or an exact year, so you get too many results to make your search useful. Or maybe you just aren't near a computer or Wi-Fi. That's when APL can make a difference. With APL, you can put questions to an information specialist at the Pearl Library. For over forty years, APL has been answering people's questions by looking things up in a variety of texts, recordings, and other resources. And these people are expert researchers so they know where to look for information, which is key in providing a really good quality answer. Sometimes accuracy is more important than getting millions of results in a second. Then how can you access APL? You can call 21518 between 9 am and 6 pm Monday through Saturday. One of the 10 information specialists will answer your question even if the question has multiple parts, and even if you're missing some of the key information.
