问题     Look at the statements below and the text about the importance of listening to people on the opposite page.
    Which section of the text(A, B,C or D)does each statement(1-7)refer to?
    For each statement(1-7), mark one letter(A, B, C or D)on your Answer Sheet.
    You will need to use some of these letters more than once.
Example:
0 Even when we write things down, we may forget what was said.

                     Listen better, manage better
A There is a great difference between listening and hearing. You should make efforts in listening. Listening demands your attention and concentration. It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification. It is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong. However, if you are absent-minded, even for a few minutes, you’ll miss what the speaker is saying probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something critical. And not having heard, you won’t know you’ve missed anything until it’s too late.
B We are likely to accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven’t listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we have failed to understand completely what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember—despite the benefit of notes—exactly what everyone said. But success depends on getting things right—and that means listening.
C You should be aware that many people are not very good at communicating. It’s helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying. It is equally important that you should put yourself in the other person’s place, both intellectually and emotionally: it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a response. But don’t be too clever. Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing.
D It is a very bad habit that we start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished. We then stop listening. Even worse, this often adds rudeness to inattentiveness, as once you have decided what to say, there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it. Good listeners don’t interrupt. In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points. Nobody is offended by this and it shows that you have listened well. [br] Further explanation is necessary sometimes, so you should keep at it.
选项
答案 A
解析 题干意为：有时有必要坚持让对方就所说的话进行进一步解释。A段中首先指出聆听他人说话需要集中注意力，接着指出It may mean quizzing the speaker for additionalinformation or for clarification．It is always better to ask than to continue regardless andget things wrong．即：这就意味着要询问说话者额外的信息或是要求其说明某些事情。询问总是要比毫不在乎地继续谈话然后出错要好。题干中的“further explanation”与文中的“quizzing…for additional information or for clarification”相对应。
