    【录音原文】
    M: If you look at any list of New Year’s resolutions you wouldn’t be surprised to see find a better job fight at the top. Vera Gibbons of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine is here with some tips to help you get a better job or maybe take on a career change. Good morning, Vera.
    W: That’s right, good morning, nice to see you.
    M: Nice to see you too. Happy New Year.
    W: Same to you.
    M: Start the new year, start looking for a new job, what’s amazing is how many people are actually thinking of doing that this year.
    W: Yes, one survey found that 75% of American workers plan to look for a new job this year. They’re unhappy with the pay; they’re unhappy with the situation at their work; they want new challenges; there’s no room for advancement with their current employer, so a lot of people are going to be out there looking for work, and this is the time of year that we are more inclined to actually take the bull by the horns, take the initiative to go out there and find that job.
    M: That whole resolution thing.
    W: Yes.
    M: Is there a good time to go about doing this?
    W: Well you know, the opportunities pop up all year long but, yes, the heaviest of hiring generally does take place at the beginning of the year, early, they fire at the end of the year, they hire in the new. They fire for Christmas, and then hire in the next year.
    M: So if you think about doing it, you really should get out there now.
    W: Get out there now and get the ball rolling, yes.
    M: What about the job market in 2007, what does it look like?
    W: It is softening a little bit, job growth is slowing down some, because of the contraction in housing and all of those sectors, but that’s been offset a bit by the service sector. Those types of companies are hiring in the service industry. We’re actually expecting 1.3 million jobs to be created this year. And one survey by Career Builder actually found 40 percent of employers will be hiring full-time employees this year. So it’s not a bad time, it’s not great, it’s OK.
    M: OK, so if you’re ready to take the plunge, if you wanna get out there, you have some tips. NO. 1 is Do Some Soul Searching.
    W: Yes, I just think in order to get out of a job that isn’t going anywhere, a career that’s gonna drift, you really have to sit down and be proactive here, you can’t be reactive you have to be proactive. Motivation is really the key to making any changes in your personal life. People may sit back and say: well I’m getting a paycheck. The benefits are good. Why rock the boat? Here’s the thing, we’re spending that half of our life in the workplace, if you’re unhappy, do some soul searching, figure out where you are, and where you would like to go.
    M: And part of that is you say prioritize your options. What do you mean?
    W: Yeah, I mean write down 5-10 things that are important to you in your job, in your career, maybe you wanna a better work-life balance, more flexible schedule whatever that happens to be again, take a look at what’s making you happy, what makes you unhappy, take a look at your goals, your dreams, your aspirations and then put together a plan to actually reach those goals. Because you’re more inclined to get there if you have a plan in place.
    M: Good idea. You can actually write these all out. Also of course when you’re going out for that job search, you gotta have the resume, so you say make that resume stand out.
    W: Yeah, you know, employers only spend about 10 seconds looking at your resume and on ...
    M: Ten seconds?
    W: Yeah, and get this on average for every 245 resumes, they get, they only interview one person for 245 resumes. So it’s very competitive. You need to have your resume stand out, keep it short, keep it succinct, keep it to the point, focus on your measurable accomplishments. And because you’re gonna be looking for different jobs you should be highlighting different skills, different experiences, so it may be relevant for one position but not for another, so you wanna highlight different ones, have several different versions of the resume, all ready to go, then get out there, do the networking.
    M: OK, and just briefly, you say do not look online, but do a lot of networking.
    W: A lot of networking. That’s the key.
    M: Vera Gibbons, thanks so much!
    W: Thanks.

  • 第5题:

    问答题
    Recently a group of college girls have aroused a heated debate in the United States because they wore flip-flaps when visiting the White House. While the girls think their choice was ok, many criticized them of being too disrespectful. Here in China, a boy student sued a female classmate who sat in front of him in a important examination because she wore too little, which distracted him so much that he failed in the exam. Do you think universities students now have sufficient awareness of what is proper to wear? Do you think university should make an explicit dress code for students? Write a composition of about 400 words on this topic. You should supply a title for your composition.  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 toss of marks.

    正确答案:
    A Dress Code Is Necessary In the 1960s and 1970s, Chinese people used to wear clothes of the same style in dull color. Since the reform and opening up, people started to wear clothes in more and different styles and colors, and this change has been viewed as a symbol of the progress made in China. But despite this trend, several universities have made quite strict requirements about what to wear on campus. Many students naturally disagree. After thorough reflection, however, we may find that a dress code is necessary both to maintain a good study environment and to safeguard the future development of students.
    First of all, a strict dress code can avoid distractions so that students can focus better on their study. On the one hand, when only certain types of clothes can be worn on campus, students, especially those girl students, will not spend too much time thinking about competing via the latest fashion, and will focus better on their courses. On the other hand, a dress code can help prevent too much distraction from the opposite sex. College students are at the age when they are easily attracted by the opposite sex, so improper dresses may make students of the opposite sex unable to focus on study. For example, there used to be a report that a boy student sued a girl sitting in front of him in an important exam for distraction because she wore so little that he could not focus on his test paper.
    Secondly, a strict dress code can show respect for teachers and classmates. Several anthropologists have pointed out that the way one dresses on a certain occasion demonstrates one's attitude to it. That is, if one dresses formally, one is taking the occasion seriously; if one dresses very casually, one is not attaching much importance to the occasion. Teaching activities, whether in small classrooms or in large lecture halls, are quite formal occasions and deserve much formality. We might have all seen some students coming to class in slippers or shorts. In this way, they are not showing respect for their teachers and their classmates. This mentality is certainly harmful to a positive learning environment.
    Most importantly, a strict dress code can teach students the importance of proper dressing in the future. When students start working after graduation, they must understand that in their working places, there is a strict dress code, either explicit or implicit. Breaking this code may put them at a disadvantage. Similarly, in various social occasions out of their working places, there is a strict dress code, and failure to follow it will lead to undesirable results. Recently a group of college girls were widely criticized, because they wore flip-flaps, which belong to the beach, to the White House. If the college had practised a strict dress code, this would not have happened.
    Therefore, university administrators have the duty to make and enforce dress codes on campus if they want to help students focus on study, cultivate a proper learning environment or teach students proper manners in the society. If they ignore this seemingly unimportant issue, students may neither study well nor behave well, and then they are not really turning out to be the talents that the society needs.

    本题要求讨论的问题是大学是不是应该制定衣着方面的规定。在本文的引言段中,作者就清楚地表明应该。作者从防止分散学生注意力、表示对老师和同学的尊重以及适应社会对衣着的要求三个方面讨论了制定衣着规定的必要性。从论据上看,作者除了使用逻辑推理以外,还用了专家证言和例子。文章的开头采用了转折的技巧,先说衣着新式亮丽是一种进步,然后引出大学制定衣着规定的话题,既能引起读者的兴趣,又能自然地把他们的注意力引到话题上。文章三个要点很明显并非同等重要,所以作者采取了递升的策略,把最重要的后说,并用most importantly做出明显的标志。结论段使用了一句话作总结,然后用警告的方式作最终评论,简洁而有力。

    问答题
    The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammarare for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. Arough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical    1._______words have “less meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them      2._______“empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this is a rather 3._______misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like theis not the name  4._______of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a    5._______sharp difference in meaning between “man is vile” and “the man is vile”, yet theis the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words   6._______differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in th  7._______lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been “little words.”But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words   8._______of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car.    9._______Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say:we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This     10._______is illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of tele-grams and newspaper headlines.

    音乐保存极为有限,传播距离和传播方向也极为有限。当人类发明了乐谱后,音乐便开始脱离表演,演变成“文字”得以记录和传播。然而,人类音乐传播的真正革命性里程碑的建立者无疑是科学家们。他们创造了令人叹为观止的音乐传播手段,从最早的机械“留声机”到今天五花八门的“电子媒体”,音乐的传播变得如此便捷,如此高保真。

    正确答案:
    There was a severe limitation to the extent of music preservation, as well as to the distance and directions of music transmission. When mankind invented musical scores, music started to break away from the boundaries of being merely a performing art, and develop into a system of “written symbols” that can be recorded and spreaded. Undoubtedly, however, it was the scientists who should be crowned as the founders of the real revolutionary milestone of human musical communication. Scientists invented marvelous means of music transmission, from the earliest mechanical “record turntable” to today’s many kinds of “electronic media”. Music transmission has become something that is amazingly convenient, fast, and hifi supported!

    【听力原文】
    The heads of several U.S. intelligence agencies have the same outlook on the country’s security. During a Senate hearing on Tuesday, they said that in the next three to six months, it is certain that there will be an attempted terrorist attack on the U. S. An attempt, though, doesn’t mean an actual attack. In fact, the CIA director used the failed, Christmas Day bombing plot as an example. None of the intelligence leaders, which included the FBI director and the director of national intelligence, talked about a specific threat. But they did say that their top concern is al Qaeda, the terrorist group connected to the Christmas Day plot. The hearing also focused on cyber-security; protecting against online attacks. Those are seen as a growing threat. and one that the intelligence community needs to address. The national intelligence director said that the U.S. is not prepared for the kinds of cyber attacks it could face. Senator Dianne Feinstein, the chairwoman of the committee holding the heating, agreed that the country does need to develop an overall, cyber- security strategy.
