    Practice 1  ‘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 MOTIVATING STAFF?  ● FINANCIAL BENEFITS  ● CAREER DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES  ●...  B  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN SATISFYING CUSTOMERS?  ● A GOOD AFTER-SALES TEAM  ● MORE CUMMUNICATION WITH CUSTOMERS  ●...  C  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN PREPARING FOR A JOB INTERVIEW?  ● STUDYING THE JOB ADVERTISEMENT  ● STUDYING THE COMPANY  ●...

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    Sample A:
    Well, I’m very interested in this topic—what’s important when motivating staff. As far as I am concerned, I think we should take three main important factors into consideration, that is, financial incentives, career development chances and an easy-going boss. Firstly, the most important factor should be the financial benefits. They may consist of good salary, bonus and other perks. As we know, instead of working for fun, most people work to live. And also as the saying goes, money can make the mare go, thus money is very important in develop staff’s motivationm. Secondly, career development chances are quite important. In reality, there is nobody who does not want to be promoted. If there are not any good career prospects in a job, staff will probably give up the job. Finally, an easy-going boss is also important. Nobody is willing to work with a difficult boss. In conclusion, financial incentives, career development chances and an easy-going boss are important in motivating staff.
    Sample B:
    Well, I’d like to talk about the important factors that are beneficial to improve customers’ satisfaction. Firstly, we need a group of outstanding after-sales service team. It is true that it is difficult to meet the demands of every customer, but our duties involve dealing with customers’ complaints and trying all manner of ways to solve their problems. In order to cultivate an efficient group of after-sales service team, we must arrange some staff training courses. Besides, we need to conduct researches on customers about whether they are satisfied with our products and in what aspects they are dissatisfied. On the basis of the result of the researches, we can make improvement. In a word, a excellent after-sales team and more communication with customers  can help improve customer satisfaction.
    Sample C:
    The objective of my talk is how to prepare for a job interview. I think the preparation mainly consists of studying the job advertisement, finding out information about the company and preparing yourself psychologically. First of all, you should study carefully the job advertisement so that you can match your qualifications, such as knowledge, abilities and skills, with the specifications required for the vacancy. You must make the interviewer believe that you have all the qualifications required, thus you are the right kind of person they are looking for. Secondly, you should know more about the company, for example its profile, requirements, existing problems, structure, campaigns and future plans. Finally, you should also prepare yourself psychologically and this will help you overcome stress. For example, rehearsing the interview with your friends is a good way of relaxation exercise that can put confidence in you.

    As for the writer, what can be concluded from the talk?
    A

    He believes driving on a road as dull as a motorway leads to drivers’ sleepiness.

    B

    He thinks it a pity that the issue of sleepiness has not been properly reported.

    C

    He agrees with the government bodies that reliable statistics cannot be obtained.

    D

    He shares with the police that sleepiness has caused 20% of motorway accidents.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    事实细节的找寻和判断。根据录音中提到的“Driving on a road as dull as motorway makes worse sleepiness in a driver who is already sleepy”(在沉闷的高速公路上开车使已经昏昏欲睡的司机感到更加的困倦),可知在说话者看来在沉闷的高速公路上开车是导致司机困倦的重要原因。因此A项内容与录音原文表达意思相一致。
    【录音原文】
      Sleep laboratories around the world are finding that an alarming number of drivers on motorways may be falling asleep at the wheel. Although researchers have difficulty in knowing for certain whether an accident has been caused by sleepiness, it appears that a driver who is on the road between 4 a. m. and 6 a. m. is about 10 times as likely to have a sleep-related accident as someone who is driving in the middle of the morning or early in the evening. Some British police forces have become sufficiently concerned to launch campaigns to alert the public to the danger. Major motor manufacturers such as Ford and Renault are investigating ways of incorporating sleepiness detectors and alarms into their vehicles.
      However, British government bodies responsible for road safety have not initiated any studies into the problem of sleepy drivers on motorways. The Department of Transport claims that it is “aware of the problems”, but does not regard it as a high-priority issue and is not planning to support any relevant research apart from a general study on “driver behaviour”.
      Unfortunately, the issue is clouded by the fact that many motorways accidents that might be caused by sleepiness are categorized under other headings, such as “inattention”, “failed to look or see other vehicle” and “misjudged speed/distance”. Figures collected in the 1970s by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory list the cause of 20 percent of all road accidents as “perceptual errors”. “Fatigue” was specified in only 2 percent of cases. However, few investigators inquire further to discover just why a driver was not attending, failed to look or made errors in perception. For various reasons, including the fear of prosecution and possible difficulties with insurance claims, drivers are reluctant to admit to falling asleep, but are more willing to admit to “inattention”. When these rather vague responses are examined thoroughly, sleepiness often emerges as the true culprit.
      Driving on a road as dull as on a motorway makes worse sleepiness in a driver who is already sleepy. But how can we tell if an accident on a motorway has been caused by sleepiness? There are some strong pointers. If an accident involves only one vehicle, which runs off the road into the central crash barrier, a tree or a bridge, then sleepiness is likely to be the cause, especially if there are no skid marks or other signs of braking. A driver who is alert to impending crash grips the steering wheel and suffers different injuries from someone who is asleep and holding the steering wheel loosely. This pattern of injury, combined with an absence of skid marks on the road, also suggests that the driver was asleep in accidents where one vehicle runs into the back of another, especially if it occurs where traffic is light and vehicles are consequently well-spaced on the road.

    Practice 11  Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.  It is easy to make judgments about people and their actions when we do not know anything about their circumstances or what motivated them to take those actions. But we should look beyond a person’s actions. When people do things that we consider outrageous, inconsiderate, or harmful, we should try to understand why they acted as they did.  Assignment: Is it important to try to understand people’s motivations before judging their actions? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    Why do people do the things they do? Sometimes it’s not that difficult to understand a person’s motivation; A father may choose to work a second job, which may take him away from his family for long periods of time. He doesn’t want to be an absent father, but he believes that his actions will eventually benefit his family. He is motivated by his love for his wife and children. A mother may choose to forego buying herself new clothes or jewelry so that she can be sure her children have enough to eat, nice clothes, and toys. Her motivation is also her love of her family. But when it comes to people whose motivations are a mystery to us, it is always important to try and decipher their feelings so as to help them (or keep them from hurting anyone else).
    What motivates certain people to kill? If we can answer that question, we may be able to identify such inclinations in others and so prevent them from acting out their anger. For surely it is anger that frequently leads to violence. A political assassin, for example, is typically infuriated by the way his country is being run by the current leaders. If there had been some way to know how outraged Lee Harvey Oswald was, or SirhanSirhan, or James Earl Ray, there might have been some way to prevent the deaths of John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr. If only someone had been able to gain some insight into the workings of Timothy McVeigh’s maddened mind, the tragedy of Oklahoma City in 1995 might have been averted.
    In other cases, it is not anger, necessarily, but more likely despair that motivates people to commit desperate acts. In 1995, Susan Smith was convicted of the unspeakable act of drowning her two young sons by rolling her car into a lake with them strapped inside. Later, authorities found out that she herself had had a terrible childhood (she was regularly molested by her stepfather) and twice had tried to commit suicide. If anyone could have understood this tormented woman’s mentality, those two little boys might have been saved.
    It is easy to condemn a person for committing a despicable act. It is much harder to discover what their motivation was for acting in such a tragic way, but it is worth the effort.

    Practice 3  To the average person knowledge itself is of importance because of its bearing upon what he needs to do and to make. It helps him in clarifying his wants, in constructing his ends and in finding means for realizing them. There exist, in other words, values as well as known facts and principles, and philosophy is concerned primarily with values—with the ends for the sake of which man acts. Given the most extensive and accurate system of knowledge, man is still confronted with the question of what he is going to do about it and what he is going to do with the knowledge in his possession.

    Practice 1  You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.  Write about the following topic:  Multi-cultural societies, in which there is a mixture of different ethnic peoples, bring more benefits than drawbacks to a country. To what extent do you agree or disagree?  You should write at least 250 words.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    As a popular slogan goes, The whole globe is just a meter away. With the development of technology, the entire world shrinks into a village in a few decades, which brings about more clashes among people from different races. Someone pushes the so-called solution forward that it is better to divide people into groups according to races. However, this can never solve the problem but only aggravate it.
    Admittedly, living in a multi-cultural community with full freedom and without any restriction is a nightmare for everyone indeed. The racial conflicts and residential differentiation would be a huge barrier for all the residents living together. However, if they can do everything cautiously by taking the cultural differences into account, living in this kind of surroundings will offer a great opportunity to enjoy much more communication worldwide in one's short lifetime, which will attract countless people to look forward to the multi-cultural life experience.
    Obviously, among all the benefits of multi-cultural society, the following two reasons should, at least, be specially mentioned: First, The colorful and diverse community can deepen the understanding between one people and another. In other words, if people plan to imitate others' custom or behaviour, it is better to understand it before their copying it. Second, it is a shame and inhumane for all modem citizens to discriminate anyone living in any circumstance. In fact, all the people are nothing but simply and most importantly, all creatures have the equal right to live on the earth, so it is not necessary to hold some stereotypes against others. Multi-cultural society is a remarkable stage in history, and more likely it is warfare against the Racism, which will finally succeed without any doubt.
    As is mentioned above, racism and multi-culture are contradictory with each other, which should be sensibly solved. As capable human beings, we may regard others’ lifestyles improper, but we should respect them no matter whether we like them or not.

    Practice 1  You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.  Write about the following topic:  Some teachers think it is effective for students to study in a group while others think it is better to study alone. What are the benefits of each study method and which one do you think is more effective?  You should write at least 250 words.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    As for choosing a better way of learning, some people believe that group learning is efficient in many aspects, while, others, on the contrary, think that individual learning can be give big harvests. Personally, both sides of the issue should be taken into consideration as follows.
    The benefits of teamwork can be illustrated from two aspects: For one thing, the solidarity and power of a team can not be compared with by only an individual, which makes it possible the accomplishment of more advanced and tougher missions And at the same time, one can learn the good points which they do not have from their partners. For the other thing, it is also significant for people to improve their communicative skills in learning and social activities. Apparently, interpersonal relationships are among the most important ones in people's daily activities. At the same time, group learning means more people are sharing the fees, which can lower the ecomic burden of students. Anyhow, abtaining an equal chance to pursue education is of fundamental importance.
    When it comes to learning individually, however, also two main benefits should be manifested: Firstly, it cultivates one's independence step by step. In other words, one tries to explore what he wants to learn through learning and thinking individually. Moreover, if one has to accomplish a project all by himself, it will be definitely necessary for him to devote himself to studying without any disruptions. With preoccupation, he may discover something new, besides discovering knowledge already existing, which is superior to group learning.
    To sum up, both group and individual learning are essential to students. The ways vary from person to person based on one’s own demands and desires of learning. To solve this problem more efficiently and effectively, governments and experts should consider over this issue more insightfully and prudently.
