Conversation One
听力原文
M: (1) [It’s my last day at work tomorrow. I’ll start my new job in 2 weeks.] My human resources manager wants to conduct an interview with me before I leave.
W: Ah, an exit interview. Are you looking forward to it?
M: I’m not sure how I feel about it. I resigned because I’ve been unhappy at that company for a long time, but I’m not sure if I should tell them how I really feel.
W: To my way of thinking, there are two main potential benefits that come from unleashing an agitated stream of truth during an exit interview. The first is release. Unburdening yourself of frustration and perhaps even anger to someone who isn’t a friend or close colleague can be wonderfully freeing.
M: And let me guess. The second is that the criticism will, theoretically, help the organization I’m leaving to improve, making sure employees of the future are less likely to encounter what I did?
W: That’s right. But the problem with the company improvement part is that very often it doesn’t happen. (2) [An exit interview is supposed to be private, but often isn’t.] In my company, the information gained from these interviews is often not confidential, and the information is used as dirt against another manager, or can be traded among senior managers.
M: Now you’ve got me rethinking what I’ll disclose in the interview. (3) [There is always a chance that it could affect my reputation and my ability to network in the industry.] It is a pretty small industry after all.
W: Anything you initially gain from the instant satisfaction of telling it like it is, (3) [you might lose down the track by injuring your future career prospects.]
M: Right. (4) [Perhaps I would be better getting things off my chest by going to one of those rate-your-employer websites.]
W: You could. And don’t do the interview at all. Exit interviews are not mandatory.
2. What does the woman think about the information gained from an exit interview? (关于从离职面谈中获得的信息,女士持什么看法?)
解析:A。录音中间女士提到,离职面谈本应是私人性质的,但事实往往并非如此。A项中的should be kept private是对录音中is supposed to be private的同义替换,因此选A。
错项排除:录音中并未提到对离职面谈中的信息进行分析,B项中的carefully analyzed在录音中无依据,故排除。C项干扰性较强,但录音中说这些信息会作为管理者互相攻讦的工具,或者是用来在高层管理者(senior managers)之间进行交易(be traded),这是女士所批判的现象,所以“很有用”是对女士观点的错误解读,故排除。D项利用录音中出现的career prospects进行干扰,但录音中是说离职面谈中不顾后果的批判言论可能会损害一个人的职业前景,并没有说离职面谈中的信息会改善其就业前景(job prospects),故排除D项。
