  • 第6题:

    问答题
    Practice 4   (The candidate chooses one topic and speaks about it for one minute.)  A Motivation: the importance of motivating staff at all levels of a company  B Financial Management: how to achieve savings on production costs.  C Communication: the factors involved in determining staff access to confidential information.

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    If you chose A: (two possible answers)
    a. It is very important to motivate staff at all levels of a company. The principle of motivation is to make sure that the work is interesting, challenging, and satisfying for the individual worker. To most employees, it is not sufficient to only have material rewards such as pay. So employer must try his best to motivate his staff. We all know that staff members working in high mood, and taking great satisfaction from their work will provide customers with good products and service. Consequently, the customers will be satisfied with the goods and service. To a large extent, business depends on good customer relations. Good customer relation will transfer into retention of a great number of loyal customers. As is known to all, loyal customers will take good care of your business.
    b. Like an adage goes, “Nothing happens until someone sells something.”, which emphasizes a very important point to any business or institution, though taken literally it may be misleading or even untrue. As a matter of fact, many activities should happen before “someone sells some- thing”. You will have a lot of things to do, among which is to motivate staff, since you will need staff to do a lot of things, for instance market research, production of inventory, transportation to warehouses, purchasing of raw materials, financing of inventory, promotion and so on. Their good service will provide individual consumer with pleasure, and make them happy. Once you know how to motivate staff, you are certain to succeed.
    If you chose B: (three possible answers)
    a. The fundamental reason of business failure lies in poor management. It is possible that business difficulties are caused by the poor quality of management that is by internal factors and by factors external to the firm. The poorly operated business will fail, while the well managed will succeed. In order to achieve savings on production costs, there are some things that you need to know, which includes location, excessive competition, and difficulties in respect to receivables and inventory, and inadequate sales. If its management is aware of its environment, alert, resourceful, and flexible, the individual business can adapt to the constant changes in dynamic economy and survive.
    b. In order to achieve savings on production costs, market research has to be conducted first and then a strategic plan needs to be made. The development of a sales forecast is significant to the planning of any business. With sales forecast in hand, all the costs of the business can as well be forecast according to knowledge of the way the sales are generated (the market plan). Given the income and costs generated by the sales forecast, then a financial plan can be prepared. Selecting location is also important. When selecting your location, you should make your first marketing decision, which requires your knowledge of three things: your product or service; its users (potential customers), and your competitors.
    c. If you want to achieve savings on production costs, you must understand strategic cost management. Today’s business objectives have three aspects: to make profits, to beat competition, and to delight customers. You must accomplish the third so as to achieve the first two objectives. However, traditional cost-management techniques focused on the first objective only by minimizing cost without consideration of the effects on customers. Cost management means far more than cost cutting. Good cost management should be forward looking. Although you still need to look backward, the more you look forward to target costs and manage operations to meet cost goals, the less you will need to look backward to find out where costs went awry. And thus you should avoid the trap of trying to account costs out after the fact, instead of designing lower costs in ahead the fact.
    If you chose C: (two possible answers)
    a. Several factors are involved in determining staff access to confidential information. First of all, you need to make sure what kind of information is confidential. It is only the classified information or documents that need to be kept secret. Secondly, make sure who needs confidential information. Only those directly relating to the subject or problem under discussion or consideration can access the relevant information. Thirdly, you need to make sure the reason why they shall have access to information, which is limited to senior management or certain person. Is it necessary to give him/her the secret information? Finally, you need to be sure of the way the confidential information is used.
    b. It is very vital to make sure those who have access to confidential information have signed a confidentiality undertaking—that is, a document promising not to make confidential information public. You don’t like to see a potential buyer use this confidential information either in the course of negotiations or after negotiations have broken down. Since many confidentiality letters have no legal value, taking appropriate advice is recommended. You should’ also take into consideration your strategy for informing your staff of the proposed sale. Most business owners would like to keep the sale secret from their employees until the deal has been completed or at least until negotiations are fairly advanced. However, this can be difficult and if staff finds out about the sale they will be unsettled. In addition, you will have to produce a tremendous amount of information about the business and its running, for which you will need the cooperation of senior management, who will therefore need to be informed of the sale.

    B

    Rhythm in writing.

    C

    The place of rhythm in the lives of human beings.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    文章从rhythm的定义出发,首先指出节奏性是人生来就有的,人类生活在节奏中,同时受到节奏的约束。而后具体讲生理和情感的节奏性,最后指出人类生活的节奏性使文学作品也带有节奏的美感,故C项“节奏在人类生活中的位置”正确。
    【录音原文】
      Rhythm in literature is a more or less regular occurrence of certain elements of writing a word, a phrase, an idea, a pause, a sound, or a grammatical construction. We are also accustomed to this recurrence in the alternate heavy and light beats in music. Our love for rhythm seems to be innate; witness the response of a small child to lively music. Children love to beat on toy drums or empty boxes. They stamp their feet and chant nursery rhythms or nonsense syllables, not like primitive dancers. As children grow older, they are taught to restrain their responses to rhythm, but our love of rhythm remains. We live in rhythms; in fact we are governed by rhythms.
      Physiologically, we are rhythmical. We must eat, sleep, breathe, and play regularly to maintain good health. Emotionally we are rhythmical, too, for psychologists say that all of us feel alternate periods of being in high spirits of concentration. It naturally follows that rhythm, a fundamental aspect of our lives, must be a part of any good literary works, whether poetry or prose.

    Medical Journals

    Medical journals are publications that report medical information to physicians and other
    health professionals.
    In the past,these journals were available only in print.With the development of electronic publishing,
    many medical journals now have Web sites on the Internet,and some journals are published only online.A
    few medical journals,like the Journal of the American Medical Association,are considered general medical
    journals because they cover many fields of medicine.Most medical journals are specialty journals that focus
    on a particular area of medicine.
    Medical journals publish many types of articles.Research articles report the results of research studies
    on a range of topics varying from the basic mechanisms of diseases to clinical trials that compare outcomes of
    different treatments.Review articles summarize and analyze、the information available on a specific topic
    based on a careful search of the medical literature.Because the results of individual research studies can be
    affected by many factors,combining results from different studies on the same topic can be helpful in reaching
    conclusions about the scientific evidence for preventing,diagnosing or treating a particular disease.Case
    conferences and case reports may be published in medical journals to educate physicians about particular
    illnesses and how to treat them. Editorials in medical journals are short essays that express the views of the
    authors,often regarding a research or review article published in the same issue.Editorials provide a per-
    spective on how the current article fits with other information on the same topic.Letters to the editor provide
    it way for readers of the medical journal to express comments,questions or criticisms about articles published
    in that journal.

    The main readers of medical journals are_________.
    A:the general public
    B:health professionals
    C:medical critics
    D:news reporters

    答案:B
    解析:
    由文章第一段“Medical journals are publications that report medical information tophysicians and other health professionals.”可知,内科医生和其他健康专业人士是医学杂志的主 要读者。故答案为B。
    被选项在内容上都是涉及到“医疗杂志的出版”,所以借助publish作为答案线索,发现 与答案相关句:"many medical journals now have Websites on the Internet(该句与A内容一致), and some journals publish only online.(该句直接与C矛盾)A few medical journals, like the Jour- nal of the American Medical Association,are considered general medical journals because they cov- er many fields of medicine.(该句与B内容一致)Most medical journals are specialty journals that focus on。particular area of medicine.(该句与D内容一致)。”故选C。
    由文章最后一段中的内容“Medical journals publish many types of articles.Research arti-dles report the results of...Review articles summarize and analyze…Case conferences and case re- ports may be published in medical journals…Editorials in medical journals are…Letters to the editor provide a way for readers of...”可知,文章的类型有五种。
    根据题干中的核心结构different studies on the same topic作为线索,找到答案相关句: "Review articles summarize and analyze the information available on a specific topic based on acareful search of the medical literature."(该句说“综述文章是在对医学文献进行了仔细的查询 后找出的对有关某一具体主题的信息进行的汇总和分析”) "Because the results of individual research studies can be affected by many factors,combining results from different studies on the same topic can be helpful in reaching conclusions about the scientific evidence for preventing,diag- nosing or treating a particular disease."(“对于同一主题的不同研究结果的汇总”在含义上与上 句“综述文章”的目的一致),因此判断选B。
    由文章最后一段最后一句“Letters to the editor provide a way for readers of the medical journal to express comments,questions or criticisms about articles published in that journal.”可知, 给编者的信使读者能够对杂志上发表的文章进行评论、提出问题或提出批评意见。第三篇 本篇文章主要讲述的是核辐射对人体的危害,以及可能导致的严重后果。

  • 第18题:

    单选题

    A

    suggesting an alternative to an out-dated research method

    B

    introducing a new research method that calls an accepted theory into question

    C

    emphasizing the instability of data gathered from the application of a new scientific method

    D

    presenting a theory and describing a new method to test that theory

    E

    initiating a debate about a widely accepted theory


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    主旨题。文章开始处,作者便提出了一种新的理论——即Milankovitch理论,然后第二段第二句中,作者提到:A recent discovery makes such a determination possible…,接着作者又对可以验证这个新理论的新方法进行了描述,故D项是正确的。

  • 第19题:

    单选题

  • 第20题:

    单选题

    A

    She was a lonely sheep in the first place.

    B

    She was manufactured out of the lab.

    C

    She was cloned from the cell of a mature sheep.

    D

    She was replaced by cloned piglets in terms of importance.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    细节理解题。根据题干中的名字定位到第一段首句“Dolly was once an awfully lonely sheep.” ,由此可知,多利曾经是一只孤单的绵羊,但并没交代是什么阶段,A选项中的in the first place意为“起初,首先”,与文意不符;该段第二句提到“…she was the only mammal ever to be manufactured from the cell of an adult donor”,即多利是唯一一只由原体提取的细胞培养而成的哺乳动物,不能推出它是完全依靠实验室制造出来的,故B选项错误;mature sleep是adult donor的同义转述,故C选项为正确答案;文章最后一句话提到“For the present,even a little new transplant material is a big improvement over what’s available…”,即即使是一个细微的新的移植物在已有的技术基础上都将是一个重大的进步,两者都体现了科技的进步,没有将其重要性进行比较,故D选项错误。
