【材料评析】
这是一篇采访一名专为左撇子们提供产品的供应商的文章。
文中分别谈到了创业理念的来源、产业如何创始、产业日前发展状况以及这家产品供应商所面对的行业现状。
具体细节为：
创业理念开始于一名名叫Gruby的退休印刷工，他本人是一名左撇子，所以想到找生产商帮他实现自己所想的专门为左撇子设计产品的理念。
而这家供应商目前面对的行业现状为：
市面上已有的左撇子产品比最初创业之时，增加了许多；但销售渠道来源主要是网络订单。
而这些，并不对这家供应商公司构成竞争威胁，因为他们在伦敦有门店和网络销售的双重渠道。
因此他们是这种左撇子产品的最大供应商。
本篇文章为考查细节信息抓取能力题。
难度较大主要因为考生可能对产品制造加工行业涉及到的manufacture、stock、mail-orderoutlet、supplier等专业术语不太熟悉，而形成困扰。
但考生只要能听出这是一篇采访类型的文章，每次都能听到女士（采访者）的问题非常简短，应该立即警惕答案应该是针对男士（被访者）的回答提问。
而女士（采访者）的问题中本身就已经暗示出接下来的回答中的关键词。
如：
女士问的“Andwhat’stherangeofyourstock?
”一句中，stock即为关键信息词。
因此，这篇文章同时也提醒考生平时应该注意商务用语和商业常识方面的积累。

【材料评析】
这篇对话是围绕一次商业活动的推广是否延期和如何收费的讨论。
对话中，女士否决了延期四周这个提议。
理由是这次的活动已经错过了两个重要的商业活动事件，而且也没有在重要杂志上打广告。
而男士则坚持要求延期，并表示：
活动被耽搁的原因是女士所在公司没有及时给出对广告的修改。
而男士认为是女士所在公司提交细节修改建议太晚而导致耽搁。
女士坚持无需延期，且不应延期，而应定为活动失败。
因此，女士向男士的公司提出降低收费或者明年免费为她们公司做活动的要求。
最后，男士提出延期四周并给出20%的降价。
可惜女士仍然要求更低的40%的降价和下一期的免费活动推广。
而男士提出还需再议。
显然，他对此提议并不表示赞同。
这篇文章总体不难，考查文章大意。
而文章本身围绕是否延期和如何收费这个中心讨论点展开，没有较生僻的词汇。
但值得注意的是，考生需要通过对话推知谈话者的身份，并对说话者的语气和话外音所包含的内容有所把握。
另外，这是一篇在真实的商务谈判场景中会经常出现的状况。
考生注意平时对商业和商务常识方面的知识积累，会对把握整个听力对话的大意很有帮助。

【材料评析】
本篇文章主要是讲述人们对待老鼠不同的道德态度。
同是一个实验室里面老鼠，如果是为了人类实验做贡献，就是人们眼中的好老鼠；而一旦老鼠从实验室里面跑出来，携带病菌危害到了人类健康，那么这些逃跑掉的老鼠就成为了人们眼中的坏老鼠。
人类会使用那些捕鼠夹子来消灭坏老鼠，但是对待好老鼠的时候态度截然不同，比如作者儿子的宠物老鼠死掉了，他们家甚至给它办了一场葬礼。
作者的观点就是：
如果我们对一样事物贴上了标签，那么在道德层面上，我们内心会根据标签的不同作出不同的反应。
并不是事物本身有任何好与不好，只是人类自作主张给各个事物贴上了不同的标签。
