    请阅读短文,完成此题。
    What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
    Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
    If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in apart-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

    According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he__________.

    PART 3Discussion topics: Happiness What does happiness mean to you?

    正确答案: Well, it’s a big topic. To me it means you are satisfied with your life and you are free from trouble while I think it’s impossible to always be carefree. Many people feel happy when they are children and have nothing to worry about .While when we grown up there are a lot of things to worry and plan. But that is also part of life and we should face the reality. I think having a lot of very good friends is part of being very happy. We need friends who have a lot in common with us. So we have a lot to share and life will be more colorful. I think happiness will double when it’s shared with friends. Finally, I think happiness is to help people when they need it. I feel happy to be able to help other people. I think it’s pleasant to feel needed. And happiness means you have a happy family and a job which you really like.

    Practice 1  Keep in mind this important point in reference to your vocabulary improvement program. If you can personalize your new words, if you can make them bear some relationship to yourself and your way of living, you then materially increase your chances of making these words a permanent part of your vocabulary.  You cannot learn words in a vacuum. That is, if a word cannot be made to have a bearing on your life, if it cannot be brought within the circle of your own thoughts, if it cannot be made a part of your own personality or of your attitudes, then that word will remain useless to you.

    在你的扩充词汇计划中,请牢记这一要点。如果你将新学的单词个性化,使它们与你自己或你的生活方式产生关联,你就更有可能将这些词转化成你词库中固定的一部分。
    你不可能在真空中学习单词。也就是说,如果一个词难以与你的生活相联系,或者它难以进入你的思维圈,或者难以变为你个性或态度的一部分,那么这个词对你毫无用处。

    问答题
    Practice 2  ‘Mini presentation’—about 6 minutes  In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.  A  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  NEGOTIATING  ● COMPROMISE  ● DISPUTE  ●...  B  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  EMPLOYING TECHNICAL WRITERS  ● BEING ABLE TO WRITE WELL  ● MEETING TIGHT DEADLINES  ●...  C  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  MANAGING A COMPANY  ● COMMUNICATION  ● EXECLLENT MANAGER  ●...

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    Mini-representation One:
    I think when managing a company one of the most important features is communication. Good communication is necessary at all stages of the business process, which can contribute to a successful business.
    Within individual companies internal communication occurs at, and between the various levels. Directors communicate with one another in term of the company’s overall strategy. They inform managers of their plans, and the managers then communicate with other employees to convey their messages. Negotiations are conducted with regard to pay and working conditions. Managers express their decisions and orders through good communication, which can achieve the aim of  improving morale and motivation. Employees also communicate with each other, for example, over production, wages and their spare activities.
    Reliable and effective communication is one of the key elements which lead to efficient management of a company.
    Question: Can you tell me other vital elements which result in efficient management of a company?
    Answer: Many requirements are important for the efficient management of a company, both internal and external. We need good communication, good staff and managers, smooth flow of the capital, the full cooperation between the company, etc.
    Mini-representation Two
    Firstly, it is of very importance to be able to write well. This means not only knowing the basic rules of spelling, grammar and punctuation, but also having the competence to condense and organise sophisticated information to make it accessible to the public. A good writer must also be capable of dealing with meeting tight deadlines. Secondly, as far as career prospects are concerned, after acquiring valuable experience, many technical writers have the opportunity of working on managerial roles. They may then have the responsibility for the work of other writers within a particular company, or they may prefer to become contractors. This means selling their services through an agency employing many freelance technical writers, whose services are charged to companies at an hourly rate.
    Question: What do you think which factor is more significant, being able to writer well or meeting tight deadlines? Why?
    Answer: I think neither of them can be ignored. We need technical writers not only being able to write well but also being competent to meet tight deadlines.

  • 第9题:

    问答题
    题目要求:  In this part of the test, you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.Practice 1  (The candidate chooses one topic and speaks about it for one minute.)  A How to negotiate successfully when we are in business?  B In business, what important role does the communication take?  C What kinds of skills shall the technical writers have?

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    If you choose A:
    It is a key skill in any business to negotiate successfully so as to reach agreements with other people or parties. The negotiation could be done with a buyer or a seller and it will always involve an element of compromise, no matter what. But, when entering negotiations, it is important to keep in mind that to negotiate and make agreements successfully is almost impossible unless you think you can afford to ‘lose’ or walk away from on offer. The result will be you avoiding asking more than what you suppose the other side will give without a dispute. Consequently, you will become a passive observer, while the other side will dictate the terms.
    If you choose B:
    Communication is one of the most important features in any business. Good communications are indispensable at any stage of the business process.
    Within individual company, internal communications happen at, and between the different levels. Directors will communicate with one another with regard to the company’s overall strategy. They communicate their plans to managers, and the managers then inform the other employees. Negotiations are usually conducted in terms of payment and working conditions. Managers try to boost morale and motivation with good communication. Employees also communicate with one another, over certain matters, for instance production and wages.
    Reliable and effective communication is instrumental when it comes to efficient management of a company.
    If you choose C:
    Firstly, technical writers should be able to write well, which means more than just knowing the basics of spelling, grammar and punctuation. The ability to condense, organize and generalize complicated information to make it easier to understand is also very important. A good technical writer must also be capable of handling tight deadlines. As far as career prospects go, with the valuable experience gained, many technical writers actually have the chance to take on management roles. Then they will be responsible for the work of other writers within a particular company; or they may want to become contractors, in other words, selling their services to companies at an hourly rate through an agency which employs many freelance technical writers.

    Practice 5  ‘Mini presentation’—about 6 minutes  In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.  A  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Selecting a secretary for the general manager  ● Qualifications  ● Related work experience  B  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Cancelling a business meeting  ● Making an apology  ● Reasons for cancellation  C  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Motivating staff  ● Bonuses offered  ● Pleasant working environment

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    If you choose topic A:
    When selecting a secretary for the general manager, we must first of all consider if he or she has the qualifications needed. A candidate with adequate knowledge of office skills and public relations will be an ideal one.
    Related work experience is also of great importance. A skilled secretary can accomplish the office work quite satisfactorily. People with little experience sometimes will inevitably feel confused when dealing with the complicated relationships around the general manager.
    In addition, the secretary should have a good personality because a good character will help a lot in smoothing the communication with the general manager and other staff members.
    If you choose topic B:
    When cancelling a business meeting, firstly an apology for the cancellation is necessary due to its effect on the participants’ schedules and the inconvenience it has caused to others. A business meeting is not supposed not be easily cancelled if there are other alternatives.
    After the apology, you should give the participants reasons for cancelling the meeting and make it convincing and sincere. Normally, participants will show their understanding and tolerance if the thuth is told and the attitude is acceptable. In case some participants have already arrived at the meeting venue or on the way to it, there should be an another plan to compensate for the time and financial loss of the participants.
    Finally, new dates for the meeting should be set so that the participants can be better prepared.
    If you choose topic C:
    I believe that we all know the significance of motivating staff to increase their productivity and their contribution to the company. The inspired staff is more likely to enjoy the job and work more actively. There are various ways to motivate staff, of which giving bonuses is quite effective. Occasional stimuli of money will drive the staff forward.
    Plus, a pleasant work environment is also very important in motivating staff since people like staying in a clean and tidy office where they can work more efficiently. A well-equipped office will help staff do more meaningful and creative work.
    In addition, team spirit and trusty colleagues can also contribute in motivating staff.,which will always make everyone enjoy the work.

    Practice 4  ‘Mini presentation’—about 6 mimes  In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.  A  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Analysing project feasibility  ● Market research  ● Implementation of the project  ●…  B  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Dealing with cost control  ● Monitor asset usage  ● Improve productivity  ●…  C  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Promoting a new product  ● Distribution channel  ● Perfect timing of launching  ●...

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    If you choose topic A
    As far as I am concerned, market research should be carried out before starting any project. It is evident that the needs of the consumers should be considered brfor the launching of any project . If a certain product is abundant in the market, it can be a bad idea to make more of that kind of product. On the other hand, if people have certain needs of some products, it is the perfect time to design the projects for a good market will be there.
    Of course, it is only with appropriate implementation can a positive impact be achieved., after the design is completed. For instance, financial support and well-trained personnel should be taken into consideration when implementing the project.
    Furthermore, profitability analysis is another factor to consider. Before we carry out any project, we should do some profitability analysis. A lot can be revealed from studying economic indicators. Economic indicators mean the consumer confidence index, employment cost index, producer price index, consumer price index and so on. All of them will show the prosperity of market.
    If you choose topic B
    The completion of production and the profit of the company is closely connected with cost control. We should make a through calculation of monitor asset usage as well as the productivity and unit labor cost to make full use of all the assets. Improving the production line will be a good way to improve productivity, which will reduce the storage time and save money. As for asset usage, it will be wise to monitor if every piece of them is fully used.
    We can also try to find substantial material for the sake of reducing the cost .By doing this, we can also ask for discount from the supplier. I am sure they will give favorable discounts to regular customers.
    The participation of all the employees will be needed in terms of cost control. Actually, every section can contribute in one way or another. For instance, by improving their professional skills the accounting staff can help with the cost control. All in all, the well-being of the company needs the efforts of every section.
    If you choose topic C
    When promoting a new product, we should consider several factors. First of all, the distribution channel of the product is of prime importance. It is suggested that the designing of the whole promoting campaign be based on that. In other words, it is a choice of designing a universal way to advertise the product or allowing the retailers to do it their own way.
    Secondly, perfect timing of the launching is also very significant. If there is the crash of similar products promoting in the same season, never take it lightly. An overflow of the product into the market is very likely to happen..
    In addition, an appropriate media in promoting new products also means a lot. If a right media is chosen, target consumers can access the advertisement of the new product much easier., Besides, different strategies can be applied when different products are to be advertised. For instance, we can think of some new way to make the product known and accepted.

  • 第12题:

    问答题
    More and more students are renting flats to live away from campus, and some of them are student lovers. Some students think this is unacceptable, but others find it attractive. What is your opinion on student lovers living together? Write an article of about 400 words to express your opinion. You should supply a title for your article.  In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.  Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

    正确答案:
    On Student Lovers' Living Together According to official statistics, the number of college student lovers living together off campus in Beijing has increased by four times between 1997 and 2001. This is undeniably true of many other places in China. Although many students do not strongly object to it, I don't think it is advisable for college student lovers to live together away from campus.
    Some lovers say that living together can help them study better, for it can help them get rid of the interference of other students. This is actually not true. When living away from campus, the lovers will always think of each other rather than the teachers' assignment, and other unavoidable family chores such as looking and washing will also take much time away that might have been spent on study. Besides, many courses now require group work or cooperation. If they stay away from other classmates, how can they study these courses well?
    Some lovers say that living together can relieve their loneliness and pressure, but it is not really the best choice. On the one hand, the real reason for their loneliness is that they are not focusing their mind on study. Study, the most important task for university students, can prove to be fascinating if you really focus on it. On the other hand, even if their loneliness is real, there are many better ways to deal with it. For instance, they can find friends to take part in sports or other entertaining activities. By staying away from other classmates, living together can be a source of rather than solution to loneliness.
    Other lovers argue that they mean to get married after graduation, and this experience can help them test each other to see if they are suitable for married life. But this mentality does not hold water. The two lovers may really love each other, but living together can actually spoil a good relationship, because it enters into weakness rather than strength, doubt rather than conviction. A follow-up study shows that few couples living together really end in marriage.
    In a word, those student lovers cannot find enough reasons to justify their choice. What they can offer all represent self-deception or misconception. Although universities are not allowed to forbid students to live off campus, they can still find more effective ways to convince this lost group of the disadvantages, and improve teaching and after-class activities to attract them back to campus.
    解析:
    这道题要求回答的问题是Is it correct for student lovers to live together away from campus,属于观点态度题的范畴。例文作者在引言段中清楚地表达了自己的观点,并且从学习、心情和婚姻三个方面分析了校外同居的坏处。本文最突出的特点是采用了驳论形式,作者不是直接阐述校外同居的坏处,而是假设有人赞成这一做法并同其辩论。所以在正文段中,作者总是先引出反方观点,然后再说明自己观点并加以论证。由于采用这种方式,所有的主题句都出现在段落中间。本文其他成功之处还包括用文章的话题作标题,引言段采用数据开头以吸引读者注意以及用解决问题的建议作最终评论等。

  • 第13题:

    What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
    Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
    If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it.
    If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
    ?According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he__________.

    A.will be a complete failure in his future work
    B.will not be able to find a suitable job
    C.will regret not having worked harder at school
    D.may do well in his future work

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据本文最后两旬的句意“你在学校的记录并不是很好,但它仍然是你背景的一个重要部分。你不应对此感到抱歉,相反,你应该认识到在工作中你会有一个全新的开始。”可知,D项正确。

A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs butif history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember factsand details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
    Your school may have taught you skills,such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may begood at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve theseskills.
    If you have had a part-time job onSaturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, youmay have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to geton with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop,for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particularindustry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weakpoints is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handletools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. Itis bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your schoolrecord, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of yourbackground. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize thatyou will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

    A.will be a complete failure in his futurework

  • 第20题:

    问答题
    Some people say that the best preparation for life is learning to be cooperative. Others take the opposite view and say that learning to be competitive is the best preparation. Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic,expressing your views on cooperation and competition. COOPERATION OR COMPETITION  In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.  Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

    正确答案:
    COOPERATION OR COMPETITION It is difficult to figure out whether cooperation or competition is more important. Although cooperation is widely emphasized in the world, competition, I believe, still plays an essential part in people's lives. Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life. This becomes very clear as one has more experience in the world. Everyone is out to make their own lives better. If you are not competitive, you may lose many chances and be left behind.
    In the first place, everyone knows that Man is by nature a competitive, aggressive, and selfish animal. This is why Man can dominant the world, even though Man is not the strongest species. Darwin, in The Origin of the Species, makes it very clear that the weak will die, and only the strong will survive. Since this is our fate, the only intelligent thing to do is to be strong, and be a winner.
    Competition exists in almost every field. In the business world, for instance, everyone knows that the most important order of the day is to beat your competitors. This can only be done by competing with any and all means necessary to win. If your product is not competitive, you can not obtain the trust of customers. No one wants to go out of business, so you must compete. Also in your workplace, you must be better than the other employees you are working with, because in this age of downsizing you do not want to be fired. Likewise, in the sports world, the strongest will come out as winners. They become our heroes and they are glorified in every way. In fact, the only way our world rewards people is to give trophies to the winners, not to the losers. Only the winner will be remembered. Everyone wants glory in life and learning to be competitive is the only path to glory.
    Therefore, the only way to survive in this world is to be competitive. To learn to cooperate is a ridiculous way to live one' s life. In fact, I know that when I wish to beat someone who is weaker willed than, I would use his foolish cooperative actions against him in the end.
    解析:
    竞争与合作一直是写作考试热衷的话题。本文立场鲜明,论证有力。作者从人的本性、商界及体育界现实出发,说明只有竞争才能在当今世界生存。虽然对许多中国学生来说本文的观点会有些偏激,但从西式思维出发,本文可算一篇佳作。

    题目要求:  In this part of the test, you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the two below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.Practice 1  A: What is important when...?  Attending an interview  ●Punctuality  ●Manner  ●Appearance  B: What is important when...?  Working in a team  ●Having a team leader  ●Deciding people’s responsibilities  ●Sharing information

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    If you choose A:
    When attending an interview, it’s a merit that we show up on time. For an interview due to start at nine thirty in the morning, the candidate is expected to arrive five minutes earlier. To be better prepared for the interview, if possible, he’d better pay a visit to the interview site in advance. By doing this, he will be able to figure out the shortest route and the approximate time to get there.
    In addition, remember that the interviewer is observing you even before your entrance into the room. Therefore, don’t forget to knock at the door first, no matter whether it’s shut or open. Furthermore, eye contact is necessary. Look straight into the interviewer’s eyes with politeness and self-confidence. At the meanwhile, greet him with a smile
    Furthermore, a person who is particular about his appearance is always welcome everywhere. With your hair neatly cut your beard nicely shaved and your face cleanly washed, you are more likely to leave a good first impression. At the same time, arm yourself with a starched shirt, an ironed suit and a pair of polished shoes. By doing that, you’re definitely a pleasant guy in the eyes of both male and female interviewers.
    If you choose B:
    When working in a team, first of all, a team leader is essential for the team. With the lead of a good team leader, the team can fulfill the tasks smoothly. Without a team leader, there will be no definite direction and employees may not know what to do and how to do the work in co-operation with each other.
    Secondly, it is important that every employee knows his/her responsibility. When clear-cut assignment of responsibility, employees can concentrate on their tasks and work more efficiently. As a result, the company’s objective can be eventually achieved.
    Thirdly, as a member of the team, every employee is entitled to know any information within the group. Therefore, information should be shared, and by doing this a lot of time and energy can be saved, which may otherwise be used to do much more work.

    PART 3Discussion topics: Children Do you think children today are happier?

    正确答案: While I think we have to talk about the issue critically. Firstly, I don’t think kids today are happier than before. Kids nowadays have to endure heavy bags and tight schedule and they also have to worry about many things for they have tremendous academic pressure .But they can attend many extra-curriculum classes(or interest classes )and learn many skills such as the piano, dancing and so on. I think they are a little burdened but I also think they are lucky because they have the opportunity to learn so much. Children in the past didn’t have so many chances to learn those things but they have less pressure.
    解析:
    考生可辩证回答这个问题。一方面,现在的孩子和从前相比,有更多的机会学习很多东西,比如各种乐器和舞蹈等。另一方面,他们也面临更大的压力,自由娱乐的时间就相对减少了。
