Passage One

v 听力原文

To achieve financial security, how much you save is always more important than the amount you earn or how shrewdly you invest. [9] If you are under 30 years old, your goal should be to save 20% of your monthly income after tax deductions. This is irrespective of how much you earn. Approximately 50% should be reserved for essentials like food and accommodation. The remaining 30% is for recreation and entertainment.

But for many young people, it’ll be difficult to designate such a large proportion of their income for savings. If you find it hard to save any money at all, start by cutting all unnecessary spending. [10] Allocate a tiny amount of 1 or 2 percent for savings, and gradually increase that amount. Always keep that 20% goal in mind to prevent yourself from becoming complacent. It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan. [11] But if you adopt the right mindset, you should be able to make it work for you. 

So, what should you be doing with the money that you're saving? Some must be kept easily accessible in case you need some cash in an emergency. The largest proportion should be invested in retirement plans, either through your employer or privately. And you can keep some money for high-risk but potentially lucrative investments. Dividends can be re-invested or used to purchase something you like. By following this plan, you should hopefully be able to enjoy your life now, and still be financially secure in the future.

Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Q9: What are people under 30 advised to do to achieve financial security?

Q10: What should people do if they find it difficult to follow this speaker’s advice on their financial plan?

Q11: What does the speaker think is important for achieving financial security?

Passage Two

v 听力原文

I work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends,mainly because I’m aware that we live in an image-obsessed world. However, when I first started my job, occasionally I’d catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts, and find myself thinking that I looked a total mess. [12] Was I being held back by my choice of clothing? The short answer is yes, especially when clients are quick to judge you on your style rather than your work.

[13] But no one can be unique with their outfit every day. I mean that’s why uniforms were invented. So, here’s what I did. I created my own uniform. To do this, I chose an appropriate outfit. Then I bought multiple items of the same style in different shades. Now, I never worry about what I’m wearing in the morning even if I do get a bit tired of just wearing the same classic pieces.

Overall, when it comes to work, you have to ask yourself: will looking smarter enhance my ability to do my job? For some, this question may not be an issue at all. Especially if you work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face. [14] But if your job involves interacting with other people, the answer to this is often yes. [15] So rather than fighting the system, I think we should just do whatever helps us to achieve our goals at work. If that means playing it safe with your image, then let’s face it. It’s probably worth it.

Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Q12: What do we learn about the speaker when she first started her job?

Q13: Why were uniforms invented according to the speaker?

Q14: What does the speaker say about looking smarter?

Q15: What does the speaker advise people to do in an image-obsessed world?

【解析】

13. A)项意为：省去每天选择独特服装的麻烦。A)项原词复现第2段but后的a unique outfit，转折后命题。

14. C)项意为：在涉及与他人互动的工作中，这很重要。C)项在原文第三段转折后原词复现job involves interacting with other people，转折后命题。

15. D)项意为：尽一切可能看起来很聪明。选项中Do whatever是文中第三段So句子中的原词复现，so因果关系命题点命题。
