According to Psychologists Susan O' Neil and Michael Bottome, children have very clear ideas about which musical instruments they should play. They found that despite the best efforts of teachers, these ideas have changed very little over the past decade. They interviewed 153 children, aged between 9 and 11, from schools in northwest England. They asked them to identify four musical instruments and then say which they would like to play most and which they would least like to play. They also asked the children for their views on whether boys or girls should not play any of the four instruments. The piano and violin were both ranked more favorably by girls than by boys, while boys preferred the drums and trumpets. There was a broad agreement between boys and girls on which instruments each sex should play and the reasons varied. And while almost half of all boys said they avoided certain instruments because they were too difficult to play. Only 15 percent of girls gave that as a reason. Earlier studies indicated that very young school children aged between 5 and 7, showed no bias in choosing musical instruments. But their tastes become more clear between the ages of 8 and 10. One survey of 78 teachers suggested that after that age, both boys and girls begin to restrict themselves to the so-called male or female instruments.How many children did Susan and Michael interview?A.150.B.151.C.152.D.153.

After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.听力原文: [26] Americans who remember "the good old days" are not alone in complaining about the educational System in this country. Immigrants complain, too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the first mathematics test given to his son as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan who teach mathematics at more advanced level.[27] But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation? When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the world's major cities. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed. Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not be able to think or to believe in themselves. Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. [28] America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education is not perfect, but it is better than any other.(27)A.The Japanese mathematic teachers.B.Both the speaker and his German friend.C.Both Americans and immigrants.D.The son of the speaker's German friend.

    Directions: In this section, you are asked to write a composition with the title “The Biggest Dream of My Life.” You should write at least 120 words and cover the following points. 

    1. What is your biggest dream?  2. Why do you have it? For how long have you got it? 3. What are your plans to achieve your dream?


    参考答案:

    The Biggest Dream of My Life I know many people whose biggest dreams are things such as what career they want to get into, how much money they can earn. My dream is nothing like that. My biggest dream has always been and will always be to travel around the world. I have one life here on Earth, so I don’t want to die regretting that I didn’t see it all. Actually I have had this dream ever since I was in primary school. In one geography class, when the teacher presented us the globe and national fl ags of various nations, I thought I found the dream in the depth of my heart. And the moment I came to college, I had always envisioned myself of becoming a nomad. I would roam around the world. No permanent address. Any place can be my home and I am home within myself. Meanwhile, I am aware that it’s really a costly dream. The first step I need to take is to begin to save money to support it. And I think it’s a good idea to start exploration from my hometown and the city where my university is located. Just as a saying goes: a big dream begins with the first step.

    Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.

    Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.

    Don' t mistakenly think that your interviewers want to know about you. They are interested only in that small part of you that can or can' t do the job they have advertised.

    sadly , many of us are so flattered by questions such as "Tell me about your strengths" that we take it as an invitation to chatter and make fools of ourselves.

    Never think that lots of enthusiasm is enough. sit down with a pen , paper and the job description ,and work out the skills and qualities they are looking for.

    Itemize your technical or professional skills as they match the requirements of the job. Then recall an incident to illustrate each of these skills. When you have done this

    , you will be in a position to begin justifying your ability and suitability.

    Remember that very few questions are lightly asked.

    If your interviewers are interviewing more than a couple of candidates , they have probably worked up a list of eight to ten questions to put to each person. In well-organized businesses , they will be making marks in their notebooks as you give your replies. An imprecise answer will show that you do not appreciate the value of the question. s0 think through how you can give strong

    , specific answers to questions such as "Can you work well in a team or on your own or in a small business?"

    Avoid giving them reasons to exclude you. You want to appear the sort of person who will help out in a crisis. make the tea sometimes even if it is not your job. be tolerant of others. whatever their age ,sex , race or religion ,

    and be easy to manage. Don't attack your previous employer as it suggests you might attack your now one.

    Try asking them a few questions. If you ask what sort of projects you would be likely to start work on ,you might then get back some very useful feedback. If they start opening Up

    to you , you can get into a more equal conversation and may have an opportunity to show that you can deal with the sort of situation they are describing.

    资料:Good listening is much more than being silent while the other person talks. To the contrary, people perceive the best listeners to be those who periodically ask questions that promote discovery and insight. These questions gently challenge old assumptions, but do so in a constructive way. Sitting there silently nodding does not provide sure evidence that a person is listening, but asking a good question tells the speaker the listener has not only heard what was said, but that they comprehended it well enough to want additional information. Good listening was consistently seen as a two-way dialog, rather than a one-way “speaker versus hearer” interaction. The best conversations were active.
    Good listening included interactions that build a person's self-esteem. The best listeners made the conversation a positive experience for the other party. which doesn't happen when the listener is passive (or, for that matter, critical!) Good listeners made the other person feel supported and conveyed confidence in them. Good listening was characterized by the creation of a safe environment in which issues and differences could be discussed openly.
    Good listening was seen as a cooperative conversation. In these interactions, feedback flowed smoothly in both directions with neither party becoming defensive about comments the other made.

    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.

    Topic 4:Talk about Virtue  Questions for reference:  1) What virtues can you name?  2) Which one do you think it the most important one?  3) What should we do in order to establish concept of honor and disgrace among people?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    My name is... My registration number is... My topic is: Talk about Virtue.
    We must uphold these core virtues including diligence, honesty, justice and responsibility. Traditionally, we Chinese admire the virtue of plain living and hard struggle. The vital importance is also placed on honesty and justice.
    In my eyes, however, responsibility tops our priority. To shoulder some heavy responsibilities, we must keep a style of plain living and hard struggle. Responsibility also means honesty and justice. Everyone must assume a set of responsibilities. For example, we college students must take the responsibility for pursuing the impressive academic performance. But an army of students plant themselves in online games, an activity which compels them to shun huge responsibilities.
    The virtue of responsibility is strongly associated with the “Eight Dos and Don’ts” moral campaign in full swing. Under this slogan, everyone must take on his/her own responsibilities and dedicate to his/her own position. Unquestionably, everyone must promote the socialist concept of honor and disgrace.

    Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos (禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. Yon may feel flee to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting-and they can cover pretty much or any topic-as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent (智慧的) manner. In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious (和谐的) business relationship they’re trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children. As general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion (宗教) with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host’s team.Why are people from Asia more private in their conversation with others

    (b) As a newly-qualified Chartered Certified Accountant, you have been asked to write an ‘ethics column’ for a trainee

    accountant magazine. In particular, you have been asked to draft guidance on the following questions addressed

    to the magazine’s helpline:

    (i) What gifts or hospitality are acceptable and when do they become an inducement? (5 marks)

    Required:

    For each of the three questions, explain the threats to objectivity that may arise and the safeguards that

    should be available to manage them to an acceptable level.

    NOTE: The mark allocation is shown against each of the three questions above.


    正确答案:
    (b) Draft guidance
    (i) Gifts and hospitality
    Gifts and hospitality may be offered as an inducement i.e. to unduly influence actions or decisions, encourage illegal or
    dishonest behaviour or to obtain confidential information. An offer of gifts and/or hospitality from a client ordinarily gives
    rise to threats to compliance with the fundamental principles, for example:
    ■ self-interest threats to objectivity and/or confidentiality may be created if a gift from a client is accepted;
    ■ intimidation threats to objectivity and/or confidentiality may arise through the possibility of such offers being made
    public and damaging the reputation of the professional accountant (or close family member).
    The significance of such threats will depend on the nature, value and intent behind the offer. There may be no significant
    threat to compliance with the fundamental principles if a reasonable and informed third party would consider gifts and
    hospitality to be clearly insignificant. For example, if the offer of gifts or hospitality is made in the normal course of
    business without the specific intent to influence decision making or to obtain information.
    If evaluated threats are other than clearly insignificant, safeguards should be considered and applied as necessary to
    eliminate them or reduce them to an acceptable level.
    Offers of gifts and hospitality should not be accepted if the threats cannot be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable
    level through the application of safeguards.
    As the real or apparent threats to compliance with the fundamental principles do not merely arise from acceptance of
    an inducement but, sometimes, merely from the fact of the offer having been made, additional safeguards should be
    adopted. For example:
    ■ immediately informing higher levels of management or those charged with governance that an inducement has
    been offered;
    ■ informing third parties (e.g. a professional body) of the offer (after seeking legal advice);
    ■ advising immediate or close family members of relevant threats and safeguards where they are potentially in
    positions that might result in offers of inducements (e.g. as a result of their employment situation); and
    ■ informing higher levels of management or those charged with governance where immediate or close family
    members are employed by competitors or potential suppliers of that organisation.

    Questionnaires can be a simple way to get to know your audience's opinions. Though it is easy to write a questionnaire, you need a lot of skill and experience to write a good one. Luckily, good design

    Questionnaires can be a simple way to get to know your audience's opinions. Though it is easy to write a questionnaire, you need a lot of skill and experience to write a good one. Luckily, good design skills can be learned in a short time.

    Keep Your Questionnaire Simple and Visually Attractive

    Keep your questionnaire short and simple. A short and simple questionnaire is more likely to be completed and returned. It is also important to make your questionnaire as attractive as possible. You should keep the following design elements in mind:

    Text: Choose a font style. that is easy to read, and make sure the font size is large enough for your respondents to read.

    Paragraphs: Long paragraphs can be daunting for readers, so try to keep your blocks of text to a handful of lines.

    White space: Ensure that there is space between questions and sections and don't make margins too small.

    Keep Questions Brief and Easy to Understand

    Be brief and direct with your questions. Do not use any unnecessary words and phrases. Brief questions that use simple language are easy to read and understand, so the participants won't find it difficult to fill in the questionnaire.

    Make Sure Questions Are In the Right Order

    You should start your questionnaire with general questions and then move to specific ones. Try to avoid jumping back and forth between general and specific questions.

  • 第16题:

    Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解)?Little wonder.
    We often believe we′re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are,according to Boza?Keysar,a professor at the University of Chicago.In his recent study,speakers tried to express their?meanings using unclear sentences.Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the?time.Here′s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding:
    (1)Don′t trust what you see from the listener.Listeners often nod,look at you or say"uhhuh"to?be polite or move the conversation along.But it′s easy to consider these as signs of understanding.
    (2)Train the editor(编辑)in your head.If you say,"Beth discusses her problems with her?husband,"it′s not clear whether she′s talking to her husband or about him.Try instead,"Beth?talks to her husband about her problems."or"Beth talks to others about the problems with her?husband."
    (3)Ask listeners to repeat your message.Introduce your request by saying"I?want to be sure I said?that right."Questions like"How does that sound?"or"Does that make sense?"may also work.
    (4)Listen well.When on the receiving end,ask questions to be sure you′re on the same?page.After all,it isn′t just the speaker′s job to make his speech understood.


    By Train the editor in your head,the speakers are advised__________

    A.to get themselves trained by a good editor
    B.to discuss problems with their husbands or wives
    C.to express themselves in long but simple sentences
    D.to make sure each sentence has only one meaning

    答案:D
    解析:
    【考情点拨】推理判断题。【应试指导】由第三段所举的例子可知,有时一句话表达不清会有歧义,所以作者建议所讲的话应该只有一个意思,以免发生歧义。

    资料:Good listening is much more than being silent while the other person talks. To the contrary, people perceive the best listeners to be those who periodically ask questions that promote discovery and insight. These questions gently challenge old assumptions, but do so in a constructive way. Sitting there silently nodding does not provide sure evidence that a person is listening, but asking a good question tells the speaker the listener has not only heard what was said, but that they comprehended it well enough to want additional information. Good listening was consistently seen as a two-way dialog, rather than a one-way “speaker versus hearer” interaction. The best conversations were active.
    Good listening included interactions that build a person's self-esteem. The best listeners made the conversation a positive experience for the other party. which doesn't happen when the listener is passive (or, for that matter, critical!) Good listeners made the other person feel supported and conveyed confidence in them. Good listening was characterized by the creation of a safe environment in which issues and differences could be discussed openly.
    Good listening was seen as a cooperative conversation. In these interactions, feedback flowed smoothly in both directions with neither party becoming defensive about comments the other made. By contrast, poor listeners were seen as competitive — as listening only to identify errors in reasoning or logic, using their silence as a chance to prepare their next response. That might make you an excellent debater, but it doesn't make you a good listener. Good listeners may challenge assumptions and disagree, but the person being listened to feels the listener is trying to help, not wanting to win an argument

    When a listener asks constructive questions, it means____.

    A.He wants to challenge the speaker.
    B.He is getting bored of nodding.
    C.He is listening carefully.
    D.He wants to make the dialog stop.

Good listeners made the other person feel supported and conveyed confidence in them. 良好倾听包括通过互动重塑他人自信。最善于倾听的人使对话成为另一方的积极经历,而这种对话往往是在倾听者颇为被动(乃至批判)的时候所无法产生的。好的倾听者使别人感受到支持,同时也传达了信心。

    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.

    What do you usually say to your new friend at the end of the conversation?We tell him we are happy to ____ him.

    正确答案: have met
    解析:
    听清提问后,再联系所给信息,可推知是告别时要说的套话,故此处应填have met。做此题时还要注意时态。
    【录音原文】
      When you talk with new friends, usually there are three parts in the conversation. The first part is greeting. In this part you and your new friend will greet each other and tell each other your names or ex-change name cards. The second part is the conversation itself. Sometimes, the conversation is just a small talk, that is, you talk about unimportant matters, such as the weather, sports, entertainments and other interesting things. But it’s not the time for you to ask about private or unpleasant things. Sometimes the conversation is about important matters like business affairs. The third part of the conversation is the leave taking part. In this part, you tell your new friend that you are happy to have met him or her and then the conversation comes to the end.
    Q11: How many parts does a conversation with a new friend usually consist of?
    Q12: What do you do in the first part of the conversation?
    Q13: What is mentioned as an example of important matters?
    Q14: What is usually avoided in the conversation?
    Q15: What do you usually say to your new friend at the end of the conversation?
