正确答案: B
解析:
倒数第三段在开头“One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they’re had~and how much they’ve learned from each. ”说“对于有顶级表现的人来说,最令人吃惊的是他们失败过多少次,又从每次的失败中吸取了多少教训”,意思是他们也有失败;所以A项“即使是有顶级表现的人也不免于失败”是正确的。B项“对获胜没兴趣”,C 项“他们不习惯失败”,D项“他们不关心挫折”均不能表达这个意思,所以选A。

    What conclusion can we draw about working at home from the passage?Working at home is getting popular but most people need to meet their colleagues ____.

    正确答案: face to face.
    解析:
    主旨题。由录音中的最后一句话可知,实际上,人们不能只在家工作而不面对面地接触同事。所以此处应填face to face。
    【录音原文】
      With the increasing use of the Internet, it is becoming more and more common for people to work at home. There appear to be many advantages to this. First, it saves time and money normally spent on traveling. It also reduces pollution. In addition, you have the opportunity to choose when and how you work. It’s not necessary that everyone stick to a nine-to-five working day. You can be your own boss. However, there just isn’t enough human interaction if you only work at home. Real communication seems to be absent. Perhaps younger people don’t have this problem as they can use online communication techniques. But employees who work at home seem to spend too much time online trying to find people to meet face to face. In fact, most people are not able to work just at home without meeting their colleagues face to face sometimes.
    Q 11: why are more and more people able to work at home?
    Q 12: What are the advantages of working at home?
    Q 13: What is another advantage of working at home?
    Q 14: What is the problem with working at home only?
    Q 15: What conclusion can we draw about working at home from the passage?
