If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and setyour phone to vibrate (振动 ). When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces.

If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.Many people believe that they cant live without their mobile phone.

The 5 questions or unf inished statements are numbered 41 to 45.When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope.Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzos parents set out to prove the doctors wrong.The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of otherALD patients often refused to takethem seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies werent interested in supporting research into such a rare disease.However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error (反复实验), they finally created a cure from ingredients (调料)commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named" Lorenzos Oil", saved the boys life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory.As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it.Finally, the boys father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keepsALD children healthy.41. Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because .A) they had never treated the disease before B) Lorenzo was too young to be, curedC) no cure had been found for ALD D) ALD was a rare disease42.

Moreover, technologies like voicemail and easy-to-use word processors have enabled professionals to do their own office work.Photo ProcessorsWith the rise of digital photography and automatic printing, positions for manual photo printers are rapidly disappearing. The occupation has been steadily losing jobs in the last five years and there might be a 24% decline by 2018.Radio OperatorsAs technology advances, the need for workers to monitor communications via radiotelephone equipment is disappearing.

Compared to other media, email messages are extremely cheap to send. With TV, you are spending on ad agencies and cable channels. With print ads, you are helping to keep newspapers and magazines alive. Direct mail costs more than $600 per thousand pieces. With email, there are almost no costs at all.

Even with direct mail, you cannot be sure that your mail has been delivered, or that anyone reads it when it gets there. With email, you know within 24 hours exactly which messages have been opened, by whom, what links the openers clicked on (点击), and what part of your message was working.Because of electronic links, those who open your emails can do their own research: they can explore and see any of the thousands of products that you sell.

Although you see all the online advertising, there aren't that many of them. Those that are available may require that you live in a certain area or spend at least some time in the office. Others may be only part-time jobs.Keep in mind that the skills needed for home employment are similar to those needed for working in an office. You'll also need a home office with a high speed internet connection, phone, fax, computer, printer, and other basic office equipment.To get started, consider your job search as your job. Spend as many hours per week on your job search as you would spend working. If you're looking for full-time work, you should be spending fill-time hours seeking a job.Networking (⼈际关系) remains the top way to find a job and it does work. Develop contacts—friends, family, even the other job seekers—anyone who might have the information you need. You can take a direct approach and ask for job information or try a less formal approach and ask for information and advice. Contact everyone you know and tell them you want to work from home. You may be surprised by the people they know and the job information they can provide.36、According to the first paragraph, it is not easy to find good work-at-home jobs because ______.A. they are seldom advertised online or in newspapersB. they may require that you live in a certain placeC. you are always asked to work full-timeD. you need to have a college degree37、Compared with those needed for working in an office, the skills for working at home are ______.A. much easierB. totally differentC. almost the sameD. more challenging38、To find a good work-at-home job, you are advised to ______.A. create a website of your ownB. contact as many companies as you canC. try your best to look for full-time employmentD. spend as much time as possible on your job search39、According to the passage, the best way to find a work-at-home job is ______.A. through networkingB. by personal visitsC. by online applicationD. through emailing40、The passage is mainly about ______.A. how to build a work-at-home officeB. how to look for a work-at-home jobC. the equipment needed for home workingD. the skills required for working from homeTask 2Running your small business requires good staff. Once you find them, you don't want to let them go elsewhere.During an employee's time with a company, there are a number of forces that influence his or her behavior. I like to refer to them as "push" and "pull" . You're either pushing an employee towards the door, or pulling them deeper into your organization.Suppose that you've made a good hire and you want to keep the employees, the trick is to recognize individual needs of employees and satisfy those needs, within reason, in order to keep pulling them away from the door. Even if you can't pull them away from the door, at least don't do things to push them out the door.Recognize that some employees will lose interest and need something fresh to keep their interest. If you can't continually provide challenges, opportunities for promotion and other interesting and rewarding opportunities, then you'll have some employees leave through no fault of your own.The important thing is to identify your key employees and make certain they are being treated well. Communicate with them on a regular basis to make certain that you understand what makes them behave in a particular way, and be aware of concerns they may have about job satisfaction.41、The author uses the word "push" (para.2) to mean the force that ______.A. makes employees satisfied with their workB. drives employees to work more efficientlyC. causes employees to leave their companyD. keeps employees to remain in their company42、To keep your employees, you are advised to ______.A. recognize and meet their needsB. identify and overcome their faultsC. offer them a salary as high as possibleD. provide them with a better working condition43、According to the passage, when is it possible for some employees to lose interest?A. They have no rewarding opportunities.B. The company is located in a remote area.C. They make many mistakes in their work.D. The company is not big enough for development.44、How should you deal with your key employees according to the last paragraph?A. Make them behave well.B. Meet with them every day.C. Pay regular visits to their family.D. Make sure they are well-treated.45、The passage is mainly about ______.A. how to keep your employeesB. the importance of key employeesC. how to challenge your employeesD. the difference between "push" and "pull"BCDAB;CAADA2013年真题(2)Task 1Jack Welch is among the famous CEOs because his management style is taught at business schools throughout the country. He has been with the General Electric Company (GE. since 1960. Having taken GE with a market value of about $12 billion, Jack Welch turned it into one of the largest and most admired companies in the world, with a market value of about $500 billion, when he stepped down as its CEO 20 years later, in 2000.As Jack Welch wrote in a letter to shareholders: "In the old culture, managers got their power from secret knowledge: profit margins, market share, and all that... In the new economy, the role of the leader is to express a vision, and put it into practice. That calls for open, caring relations with every employee, and face-to-face communication. People who can't convincingly (有说服⼒的) express a vision won't be successful. But those who can will become even more open—because success builds up self-confidence."Welch believed that great business leaders have to:·possess large amounts of energy, and·know how to use that energy to motivate others.Welch moves from meeting to meeting, conveying that message—and many more others as well, some of which have become his trademarks:·Business is simple.·Don't make it complicated.·Face reality.·Don't be afraid of change.·Use the brains of your workers.36、According to the first paragraph, Jack Welch, as a CEO, is famous for his ______.A. technical knowledgeB. overseas experienceC. family backgroundD. management style37、When Jack Welch took charge of the company, it had a market Value of about ______.A. $12 billionB. $20 billionC. $500 billionD. $2000 billion38、According to Jack Welch, the relations between the employer and employees should be ______.A. personal and friendlyB. casual and naturalC. open and caringD. strict and formal39、In the sentence "... some of which have become his trademarks", the word "trademarks" means ______.A. product brandsB. speaking mannerC. advertising strategyD. special characteristics40、This passage is mainly about ______.A. relations between the employer and employeesB. Jack Welch's view of business managementC. development history of GE companyD. courses taught in business schoolsTask 2From: Linda SmithTo: Clarice RyanSubject: Report on Employees' Use of TimeClarice, I agree that waste of work time is a serious issue. The Human Resources Department recently surveyed the employees. They are wasting nearly two hours per day. Here are my ideas to reduce this waste. First we need to agree on what are the most important behaviors to stop. For example, look at activity No. 1 in the table below. Many people are doing this; however, it is the most difficult to stop. I recommend that we focus on activities No. 2, 4, and 5.Making phone calls shows the largest difference between men and women. Women do this much more than men. We should ask all employees to limit these calls. They should return non-urgent messages at their lunch break.For No. 4, we should focus on the younger age group. We will tell them that we are going to check their work accounts forpersonal messages. For No. 5, we can ask managers to watch this more carefully. Perhaps activity No. 3 should continue. This allows employees to know each other and it can increase their motivation. The managers will know if someone is spending too much time talking and not enough time working.Are you available tomorrow? I'd like to meet with you to discuss our next step.41、Department?A. Working conditions are to be improved.B. Some employees need re-training.C. Employees lack motivation.D. Much work time is wasted.42、The greatest difference between men and women in the non-work-related activities is ______.A. taking long breaksB. making phone callsC. talking with colleaguesD. sending non-urgent messages43、The employees are advised to return non-urgent messages ______.A. after workB. back at homeC. before office hoursD. during their lunch break44、The table shows that the non-work-related activities employees most often do was ______.A. going onlineB. talking with each otherC. writing personal emailsD. making personal phone calls45、Why does the writer suggest that activity No.3 should continue?A. It can help employees increase motivation.B. It can help managers to check on the work accounts.C. It can show how much time employees actually work.D. It can encourage young employees to work more efficiently.DACDB;DBDAA2012年真题(1)Task 1Marketing furniture to the public can be challenging for a small business owner. Consumers buy furniture pieces only occasionally. However, there are several furniture promotion ideas that can be used to help you reach your target market. One thing you can do is to talk with real estate (房地产) agents to allow you to display your furniture in a new home or open house setting. This is a good way to reach a key target market—new home buyers—who may need new furniture for their future homes. Increasing toot traffic (顾客流量) is also important for a furniture store. To get more people to the store,。

Each one is followed by several questions about it. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write tile letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Since a gigantic Sainsbury is my local corner shop, I have a purseful of those coupons: "Here´s £l. 45 off your next visit", etc. But lately I´ve felt 1 deserve another voucher: "Here´s a tax rebate on the cash you pay our low-paid workers so they can subsist. " The chances are they couldn´t get by without you. A survey of Sainsbury employees by Unite last year found that 60% relied upon government working tax credits to top up their salaries. Even so, in the previous six months, a third had resorted to borrowing money to settle their bills. Low pay is always seen as a leftie, bleeding-heart issue. Poor oppressed workers. Aux barricades! Rather it should raise the blood pressure of every taxpayer.The constant conniptions of supermarkets competing for market share, discounting their rivals, fighting off the German upstarts Aldi and Lidl, distract from the fact that they are vastly wealthy. Sainsbury´s underlying profits for 2012-13 were £758 million: these have trebled in a decade. Who could begrudge Sainsbury´s new CEO Mike Coupe his £900,000 basic salary, if only he paid all his 157,000 retail staff enough to live on without you and me chipping in? But he doesn´t and, bizarrely, no one is inclined to make him.Voters abhor a high welfare bill or the notion that benefits arc rising faster than wages. But if the chancellor wanted to take £300 a year from every low-paid household, £490 from families with children, could he not at least have added: "I call upon our friends in business to make up the difference: to help cut the welfare bill, by paying all their employees a living wage. " Because the problem is not just soaring welfare but stagnating wages. For the first time in British history, the majority of those classified in poverty already have jobs. In the last decade, food bills have increased by 44% , energy costs more than doubled, but even now that the economy has rallied, wages have barely picked up. Now 5. 2 million of the workforce are paid below a rate at which decent life is sustainable. And since, without government support, families on minimum wage would barely be able to feed their children, in-work benefits cost taxpayers £28 billion a year. During the Tory and Labour conferences, much was said about "political disconnect" —theangry distrust voters feel towards the major Westminster parties. It was ascribed to ideological differences on Europe. But deep down, it´s about money, stupid. Life is a trudge and people see no one capable of lightening their step. The idea that prosperity should be shared, increased productivity linked to wages, fell apart in the 1980s. As Warren Buffett said recently, the class war was won "by my class, the rich class". Employees know that even low-paid jobs are precious, that if they contemplate something as audaciously retro as striking, a pool of labour could rush to take their place.Companies relish their upper hand, play the austerity card during pay rounds even now times are better. When the retailer Next was asked why, despite record profits, its wages were still below the living wage, it replied that since 30 people applied for every job advertised, how could it be paying too little? While the executive googles ski-breaks in Verbier, the cleaner emptying his bin walks to work to save on bus fares. The low-paid don´t merely have less stuff: they have less stable relationships and weaker health. Are their struggles invisible to those who pay their terrible salaries, or do they not care?I was encouraged to read in the report by the Living Wage Commission that not all lack heart. Sir John Bond, then chairman of HSBC, was moved by a speech from a Canary Wharf cleaner. Both then introduced the living wage. Indeed Guy Stallard of KPMG, whose company has paid it since 2006, says staff turnover is lower and morale up. Give people the means to be fully human and they will be loyal. Now eight companies on the FTSE 100 index pay the living wage. But in retail, which has the biggest proportion of low-paid workers, not a single high street name has signed up. These days our only political muscle is as consumers, choosing Fairtrade, making ethical investments. And there would be great kudos for the first of the big four supermarkets who stopped sitting on its mega-profits while adding staff wage bills to the welfare tab.第41题Why does the author say that low pay of supermarket workers "should raise the blood pressure of every taxpayer"(para. 1)?A.Because the low-paid workers would pay less income tax.B.Because the tax office would give them more tax credits.C.Because the supermarket employees could only get by with customers.D.Because taxpayers would have to pay more for their in-work benefits.第42题What does the author imply when she says that "the majority of those classified in poverty already have jobs" for the first time in British history(para. 3)?A.Unemployment remains a major issue in the U. K.B.Employment is the key to eradicate poverty.C.Instead of unemployment, low wages become the major issue.D.Social welfare is always connected to employees´ income.第43题The author introduced Warren Buffet in paragraph 4 to illustrate that______.A.a company´s success is mainly attributable to its top executivesB.workers´ wages are no longer closely related to increased productivityC.in the Western world today the rich people win the war against the poorD.people with low pay should not resort to striking第44题What is the argument of the retailer Next?A.As too many people applied for every job advertised, the pay could not be low.B.Record profits have already shown that workers got their living wage.C.If fewer people apply for jobs advertised, then they will consider raising salaries.D.The retailer has to play the austerity card even in better time.第45题Which of the following best shows the author´s attitude towards the issue of supermarkets employees´ low wages?A.Indifferent, neutral, and matter-of-fact.B.Sympathetic, argumentative, and suggestive.C.Vehement, antagonistic, and opposing.D.Political, negotiating, and diplomatic.上一题下一题(46~50/共20题)SECTION 2 READING TESTDirections: In this section you will read several passages. Each one is followed by several questions about it. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write tile letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.When young college graduates decide where to move, they are not just looking at the usual suspects, like New York, Washington and San Francisco. Other cities are increasing their share of these valuable residents at an even higher rate and have reached a high overall percentage, led by Denver, San Diego, Nashville, Salt Lake City and Portland, Ore. , according to a report published Monday by City Observatory, a new think tank. And as young people continue to spurn the suburbs for urban living, more of them are moving to the very heart of cities. The number of college-educated people age 25 to 34 living within three miles of city centers has surged, up 37 % since 2000.Some cities are attracting young talent while their overall population falls, like Pittsburgh and New Orleans. And in a reversal, others that used to be magnets, like Atlanta and Charlotte, are struggling to attract them at the same rate. Even as Americans over all have become less likely to move, young, college educated people continue to move at a high clip—about a million cross state lines each year. Where they end up provides a map of the cities that have a chance to be the economic powerhouses of the future. "There is a very strong track record of places that attract talent becoming places of long-term success," said economist Edward Glaeser, "The most successful economic development policy is to attract and retain smart people and then get out of their way. "The economic effects reach beyond the work the young people do, according to economist Enrico Moretti, For every college graduate who takes a job in an innovation industry, he found, five additional jobs are eventually created in that city. "It´s a type of growth that feeds on itself—the more young workers you have, the more companies are interested in locating their operations in that area and the more young people are going to move there," he said. About 25% more young college graduates live in major metropolitan areas today than in 2000, which is double the percentage increase in cities´total population. All the 51 biggest metros except Detroit have gained young talent, either from net migration to the cities or from residentsgraduating from college. It is based on data from the American Community Survey and written by Joe Cortright, an economisl who runs City Observatory and Impresa, a consulting firm on regional economies.Denver has become one of the most powerful magnets. Its population of the young and educated is up 47% since 2000, nearly double the percentage increase in the New York metro area. And 7. 5% of Denver´s population is in this group, more than the national average of 5. 2%. Denver has many of the tangible things young people want, economists say, including mountains, sunshine and jobs in booming industries like tech. Perhaps more important, it also has the ones that give cities the perception of cultural cool. "With lots of cultural things to do and getting away to the mountains, you can have the work-play balance more than any place I´ve ever lived," said Colleen Douglass, 27, a video producer at a start-up Craftsy. "There´s this really thriving start-up scene here, and the sense we can be in a place we love and work at a cool new company. "Other cities that have had significant increases in a young and educated population and that now have more than their share include San Diego, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Nashville, Salt Lake City and Portland, Ore. At the other end of the spectrum are the cities where less than 4% of the population are young college graduates. Among those, Detroit lost about 10% of this group, while Providence gained just 6% and Memphis 10%. Atlanta, one of the biggest net gainers of young graduates in the 1990s, has taken a sharp turn. Its young, educated population has increased just 2. 8% since 2000, significantly less than its overall population. It is suffering the consequences of overenthusiasm for new houses and new jobs before the crash, economists say. The effects of the migration of the young are most vividly seen in urban cores. In 1980, young adults were 10% more likely than other people to live in these areas, according to the report from City Observatory, which is sponsored by the Knight Foundation. In 2010, they were 51% more likely, and those with college degrees were 126% more likely. The trend extends to all the largest metropolitan areas except Detroit and Birmingham. Of the most populous metropolitan areas, Washington and Philadelphia showed the largest increases of young adults living there, at 75 and 78%. Washington also had the largest share of young college graduates over all, at 8. 1%. "They want somelhing exciting, culturally fun, involving a lot of diversity—and their fathers´suburban lifestyle doesn´t seem to be all that thrilling," Mr. Glaeser said. How many eventually desert the city centers as they age remains to be seen, but demographers predict that many will stay. They say that could bolster city economies, lead to decreases in crime and improvements in public schools. If the trends continue, places like Pittsburgh and Buffalo could develop a new reputation— as role models for resurgence.第46题Which of the following can best serve as the title for the passage?A.More Young People arc Spurning the Suburbs for Urban LivingB.Urban Migration of College Graduates is ExpandingC.Innovation Industry Offers College Graduates More Urban PostsD.An Increasing Number of Young Adults Live in Washington and Philadelphia第47题The expression "(to)get out of their way"(para. 2)can best be paraphrased as______.A.to offer college graduates jobs in innovation industryB.to give full play to their initiativesC.to help them find additional jobs in city areasD.to study the migration trends of college-educated people第48题All of the following are true about City Observatory EXCEPT that______.A.it is a think tank newly establishedB.it is not a consulting firm on urban migrationC.it is sponsored by the Knight FoundationD.it is a consulting firm on urban migration第49题Denver has become one of the most powerful magnets. Which of the following does not contribute to this?A.Denver has the most colleges and universities in the region.B.Denver offers jobs in booming industries such as high tech.C.Denver owns a free and diversified cultural environment.D.Denver has many attractions, including mountains and sunshine.第50题What is the purpose of tracking the migration of young college graduates in America?A.To establish the successful economic development policy.B.To compare the migration of young people and that of Americans over all.C.To find out the relationship between young migration and long-term urban success.D.To set up role models for resurgence of major metropolitan cities.上一题下一题(51~55/共20题)SECTION 2 READING TESTDirections: In this section you will read several passages. Each one is followed by several questions about it. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write tile letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People moved quickly in April to cancel plans to bestow a lifetime achievement award on Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers and a longtime NAACP contributor, who was caught on tape scolding a female friend for posting online photos with black friends. Many people were surprised to learn the civil rights organization ever meant to praise a man with a history of discriminating against blacks. They shouldn´t have been. In 2009 the NAACP´s Los Angeles chapter honored Sterling with its President´s Award, as he agreed to pay $ 2. 8 million to settle federal civil charges that he unfairly treated blacks at L. A. apartment buildings he owns. Sterling is one of several individuals and institutions with reputations in need of repair who´ve received accolades or favorable treatment from the NAACP, at times before or after large donations. At the May 15 gala where Sterling was supposed to pick up his prize, the group´s L. A. chapter will honor executives from Wal-Mart Stores and FedEx, both major contributors embroiled in long-running controversies involving allegations of employment discrimination. The companies deny the allegations.The group´s financial disclosures show each company gave the NAACP $ 200,000- $ 999,999 in 2011. That year the U. S. Supreme Court backed Walmart in a major employment discrimination lawsuit brought against the company by women employees. The ruling made it harder to mount class actions alleging discrimination by employers. FedEx has settled many race discriminationclaims, including a $ 53 million payout to truck drivers in 2007. The NAACP also accepted more than $ 1 million from Bank of America in 2011, the same year the bank agreed to pay a record $ 335 million in a federal lawsuit alleging predatory lending to minorities. Spokesmen for Walmart and FedEx said their companies have long supported the NAACP solely because of its good work. Bank of America didn´t respond to requests for comment. Peter Dreier, director of the urban and environmental policy department at Occidental College in Los Angeles, says donating to the NAACP has become a painless way for corporations accused of racism to ensure a measure of sympathy, or at least silence, from the civil rights group, whose leaders rarely criticize the misbehavior of those who give it money. "The NAACP, with its glittering history of incredible activism, has become an empty shell," he says.The NAACP isn´t the only organization to spruce up big companies´ reputations. "It´s part of every communication specialist´s playbook to align clients who have particular issues with nonprofits that are strong in those issues," says crisis communications strategist Sam Singer. At times it can backfire when the relationship between sinner and redeemer seems a little too convenient—or has the whiff of quid pro quo. Environmentalists have taken the World Wildlife Fund to task for accepting money from companies that use a lot of water and other natural resources, including Coca-Cola, then lending its respected panda logo to their corporate sustainability campaigns.The NAACP hasn´t been loo picky about where its donations come from. The late Benjamin Hooks once joked that the only thing "tainted" about tobacco industry money was "there ain´t enough of it," according to tobacco industry documents from lawsuits against cigarette makers. A 2009 resolution condemning the industry for targeting blacks—who suffer an inordinate health toll from smoking died without a floor vote at the NAACP´s centennial convention, says Carol McGruder, co chair of the African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council. "When you let unethical corporations associate themselves with our organizations, it makes them look like they´re doing something for our community, and they´re not," McGruder says. "The harm they do to our people is not offset by their corporate giving. " The NAACP´s interim president and CEO, Lorraine Miller, wrote in an e-mail that money "docs not buy corporations a free pass if their actions run afoul of our mission. We do not hesitate to stand up to, speak out against or even sue our corporate contributors when we differ on an issue of civil rights. "In 2009 the NAACP did sue a contributor. Wells Fargo, over alleged predatory lending practices targeting blacks, allegations Wells Fargo denied. But the group dropped the case in 2010, saying it would instead "work constructively" with the bank. Wells Fargo announced it would donate $ 2. 5 million a year for five years to fund an NAACP financial literacy campaign. "The more we learned about each other, the more we decided to collaborate," says Wells Fargo Senior Vice President Gigi Dixon. The federal government didn´t let the bank off so easily. In 2012, Wells Fargo agreed to pay $ 184 million to settle allegations that it steered black borrowers into subprime loans.第51题Which of the following can best serve as the title for the passage?A.Donald Sterling, A Longtime Contributors Rejected by NAACPB.For Donors, the NAACP Forgives and ForgetsC.The NAACP Fights Employment Discrimination LawsuitD.Reputations of NAACP´s Donors are in Need of Repair第52题Peter Dreier said that the NAACP "has become an empty shell"(para. 3)because______.A.it is proud of its glorious history of fighting racismB.it has a political relationship with donorsC.it just keeps silence for corporations accused of racismD.it never stops fighting against contributors with sinister purposes第53题The phrase "to spruce up" from the sentence "The NAACP isn´t the only organization to spruce up big companies´ reputations. "(para. 4)can be replaced by "______".A.to promote and beautifyB.to criticize and repudiateC.to spread and popularizeD.to negate and vilify第54题What can we learn from the commentary of Carol McGruder?A.NAACP always pretends to do things good for the black community.B.Corporate giving only covers the bad side of corporations´ practices.C.The harm the companies do is never to offset the disadvantages.D.Unethical corporations are trying to cover the harm they have done to blacks.第55题Which of the following is NOT true about the case with the bank Wells Fargo?A.Wells Fargo planned to donate $ 2. 5 million a year for five years to settle the predatory lending practices.B.The NAACP first sued, then dropped the case against Wells Fargo for its predatory practices targeting black borrowers.C.Wells Fargo agreed to pay $184 million to settle allegations of predatory cheating practices.D.The NAACP worked constructively with Wells Fargo to settle allegations of its predatory practices.上一题下一题(56~60/共20题)SECTION 2 READING TESTDirections: In this section you will read several passages.

In the ancient past, other human forms lived beside us. The Neanderthals in Eurasia. Small, hobbit-like humans in Indonesia. The mysterious Denisovans in the Ural mountains. But our time alone may be nearing its end. Through the power of technology, humans are set to take on the role of Intelligent Designer. We can upgrade ourselves and surmount evolution. Ultimately, we can become entirely new beings that set the stage for a posthuman future.The scenario has played out for decades in science fiction but the prospect is raised more seriously by Yuval Noah Harari, an Israeli historian, in his latest book, Sapiens. In it he sees trouble ahead. The latest human enhancements will be accessible only to the rich, leading to a 21st-century society more unequal than any that came before. The revolution Harari has in mind。

Passage One Americans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(⽚剂) were available in the United States. For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users. Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste.

A. against the use of aspirin B. in favour of aspirin C. doubtful about aspirin D. not interested in aspirin Passage Two Dr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family. Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate. According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2%marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces arefrom teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up. Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children. “There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to divide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane. 21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________. A. Americans are persistent in career B. Americans are serious with their families C. American families are all breaking up D. American families are perfect as usual 22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _________. A. in great danger B. quite wonderful C. changing too fast D. very satisfying 23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce? A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage. B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason. C. Less and less people plan to get married. D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage. 24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________. A. it is better to have mothers at home B. almost no attention is paid to them C. no less attention is paid to them D. a lot of time is spent playing games pared with n o n w o r k i n g m o t h e r s , w o r k i n g m o t h e r s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . / p > p b d s f i d = " 1 8 6 " > 0 0 A . s p a r e l e s s t i m e t o s t a y w i t h t h e i r c h i l d r e n / p > p b d s f i d = " 1 8 7 " > 0 0 B . d o m o r e e d u c a t i o n a l a c t i v i t i e s w i t h c h i l d r e n / p > p b d s f i d = " 1 8 8 " > 0 0 C . d o v e r y l i t t l e s i m p l e p h y s i c a l h o u s e w o r k / p > p b d s f i d = " 1 8 9 " > 0 0 D . a v o i d d i s t u r b i n g t h e i r w o r k b y f a m i l y d u t i e s 0 P a s s a g e T h r e e 0 0 C r i m e h a s i t s o w n c y c l e s , a m a g a z i n e r e p o r t e d s o m e y e a r s a g o .

1When asked by Conan if his daughters had smart phones eomedian Louis CK explained that he had successfully fended them off by simply replying.“No,you cannot have it.It is bad for you .”He instantly became my hero as I was mired in difficult negotiations with my tee-year-old daughter over one.And frankly,she was winning.Was it possible to say no to my daughter,as CK suggested ?I had not even known I was allowed to,if the guinea pigs,the dogs,and things for her doll Molly were any indiedtion.CK rationalized,“I am not raising the children .I am raising the grown-ups that they are going to be.So just because the other stupid kids have phones does not mean that my kid has to stupid.”Now I knew I did not want my kid to grow up stupid like her friends.I needed to explain this to her.This is what CK told Conan and me.Cell phones are“toxic,especially for kids”,he said,because they don’t help them learn empathy,one of the nicer human emotions.When we text,we do not see or hear a visceral reaction .The response we get is in cold,hard text-speak.Why are kids mean he asked.“Because they’re trying it out.They look at another kid and go.‘You’re fat.’Then they see the kid’s face scrunch up and think that doesn’t feel good.”Texting “you’re fat”allows you to bypass the pain.CK went on to explain to us that smart phones rob us of our ability to be alone.Kids use smart phones to occupy their time:Must text! Must play game!Must look up more tiny American Girls socks online for MollyCK asked,what happened to zoningout?After all,one of the joys of being human is allowing our minds to wander.With cell phones,kids are always preoccupied.They never daydream,expect in class.And here’s something else we’re missing :our right to be miserable.This was a right I hadn’t realized I desired until CK pointed out that it’s yet another of the essentail human emotions.CK gave the example of driving by yourself and auddenly realizing that you’re alone.Not “Oh,guess I can’t use the lane.”alone.Dark,brooding sadness causes so mangy drivers to grab smart phone and reach out to another living soul.“Everybody’s murdering each other with their cars”as they text because they dread being alone.Too bad-they’re missing out on a life-affirming experience.“I was in my car one time,and Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Jungleland’came on.He sounds so far away,making me really sad.And I think ,I’ve got to get the phone and write hi to 50 people.I was reaching for the phone,and I thought ,don’t !Just be sad.”So CK pulled over and allowed himself to sob like a little girl denicd a nice thing for her American Girl doll.“It was beautiful. Sadness is poetic.You’re lucky to live sad moments,”he said.Because he didn’t fight and allowed himself to be sadness I was grateful to feel sad,and then I met it with true profound happiness.The thing is,because we don’t want that first bit of sad,we push it away with that little phone.So you never feel complectly sad or completcly happy.You just feel kind of satisfied.And then you die.That’s why I don’t want to get phones for my kids”.And I suppose I don’t either.21.Why did the author CK as her hero?A.CK was a good father and a very brave comedian in her eyes.B.CK didn’t agree to by smart phones for his young daughters.C.She was very impressed by his solution to the smart phone problem.D.She was encouraged by him not to make any compromises to her daughter.[答案]C22.What does the underlined word “one”in PARAGRAPH TWO refer to?A.A dogB.A dollC.A guinea pigD.A smart phone[答案]D23.Why did CK refuse to buy his kids cell phones?A.He didn’t like cell phones at all and thought they were poisonous,especially,for kids.B.He believed that cell phones were ruining kids’ abilities to experience their own lives.C.He worried that his kids would play their phones in class and absent-minded.D.He was a different kind of father who would like to raise his kids in a different way.24.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase“zoning out” in PARAGRAPH FOUR?A.Losing concentrationB.Being aloneC.Buying things on line.D.Playing games.[答案]A25.Which of the following os true according to the article?A.Text message have allowed children to learn and feel empathy.B.Cell phones have made children’s life at school colorful and exciting.C.Experiencing loneliness or sadness is as beneficial as enjoying happiness.D.Cell phones may offer people the quickest way to find someone to talk to. [答案]CPassage 2Until a decade or two ago,the center of many Western cities were emptying while their edges were spreding.This was not for the reasons normally cited.Neither the car nor the motorway caused suburban sprawl,although they sped it up:cities were spreading before either came along.Nor was the flight to the suburbs caused by racism.Whites fled inner-city neighborhoods that were becoming black,but they also fled ones that were not.Planning and zoning rules encouraged sprawl,as did tax breaks for home ownership- but cities spread regardless of these.The real cause was mass affluence.As people grew richer,they demanded more privacy and space.Only a few could afford that in city centers;the rest moved out.The same process is now occurring in the developing world,but much more quickly.The population density of metropolitan Beijing has collapsed since 1970,falling from 425 people per hectare to 65.Indian cities are following;Brazil’s are ahead. And suburbanization has a long way to run.Beijing is now about as crowded as metropolitan Chicago was at its most closely packed,in the 1920s. Since then Chicago’s density has fallen by almost three-quarters.This is welcome.Romantic notions of sociable,high-density living-notions pushed ,for the most part ,by people who themselves occupy rather spacious residences-ignore the squalor and lack of privacy to be found in Kinshasa,Mumbai or the other crowded cities of the poor world.Many of them are far too dense for dignified living,and need to spread out.Could not imaginede,but the park is still there.This is not the state control of the plannera-- that confident soul who believes he knows where people will want to live and work,and how they will get from one to the other.It is the realize needed to manage the inevitable.A model of living that has broadly worked well in the Web is spreading,adapting to local conditions as if goes.We should all look forward to the time when Indian teenagers write sulky songs about the appalling______of_____.26.For which of the following reasons did the west move out of cities?A.They did not need to pay higher taxes when living in suburbs.B.Car industry rapidly developed and motorways swiftly emerged.C.They discriminated against the black people living in city centers.D.The richer they grew,the more demand they had on privacy an apace.[答案]D27.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “detractors”in PARAGRAPH FOUR ?A.UrbanitesB.ProponentsC.OpponentsD.Suburbanites[答案]C28.What does the underlined word “them”in PARAGEAPHFIVE refer to ?A.Paking spacesB.Green beltsC.Distant commutersD.Property developers [答案]A29.Which of the following best reflects the author’s view of suburbanization?A.Measures should be taken to prevent the growth of suburbsB.The expansion of suburban areas should be planned in advanceC.The West had made of few mistakes on its way to suburbanizationD.Planners should be mentally prepared for its negative consequences[答案]B30.Which of the following statements CANNOT be inferred from the passage?A.Public transport should be encouraged in suburbanizationB.People from poor countries are living with privacy and dignityC.Local conditions should be taken into account in suburbanizationD.American prefer to live in suburbs regardless of urban development[答案]B二、简答题31.推理(inferring)是阅读理解的基本技能之一。
2015年公共英语三级试题及答案解析
Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through center. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. (76) The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. (77)If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply.

(78)In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need to nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part. Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. (79)We get so used to looking at themovements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they have actually begun to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn't it? There are any other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society. 6. What is the major function of paragraph 1? A. To arouse the reader's concern B. To introduce the theme of the whole passage C. To summarize the whole passage D. To sate the primary uses of TV 7. Television, as a source of entertainment, is .A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap 8. Why are some people against TV? A. Because TV programs are not interesting B. Because TV viewers are totally passive C. Because TV prices are very high. D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages 9. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that .A. it keeps up informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives 10. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on .A. its qualityB. people's attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use it Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. (80)Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care that they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit form one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope (摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest. In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的⼈) and a bitter person. 11. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they .A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable jobC. think of nothing but their salaryD. are not aware of their own potential 12. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that . A. much competition has to be faced B. many employees have no working experience C. the young people only care about how much they can earn D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance 13. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage? A. Your job must suit your interest. B. Your job must set a pattern of life. C. Your job must offer you a high salary. D. Your job must not ruin your talents. 14. The best title for this passage would be .A. What Can A Good Job Offer.B. Earning A LivingC. Correct Attitude On Job-huntingD. How To Choose A Job 15. The word "pathetic" in Paragraph 2 most probably means .A. splendidB. miserableC. disgustedD. touching Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.

2015上半年CATTI三级笔译真题及参考答案
2015 上半年 CATTI三级笔译真题及参照答案——英译汉Section1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Forgenerations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretchofeastern Utah. Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiledunderground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that windstoward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboardwith theslogan“Coal =Jobs.”犹他州东部有一个矿产丰富的小镇,那边的人们祖祖辈辈都以采煤为生。
一提起在地下辛苦采煤时的情形,每个家庭老是倍感骄傲。
街道两旁的煤炭供给企业一个挨着一个。
在通往矿井的曲折小道上方的广告牌上,一个满脸炭灰的矿工凝望着远方,旁边的口号写着“煤炭 =工作”。
Butrecently,fear has settled in. The state ’s oldest coal -fired power plant,tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricterfederal pollution regulations.但是近来,小镇的人们内心充满了惧怕。
联邦政府新公布了一套更加严格的污染管理条例,这使得小镇邻近峡谷之中的一家美国最古老的燃煤电厂频临破产。
As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slipaway. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, havelearned that they must retire early or seek other jobs. Local trucking andequipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere.因为能源企业纷繁弃用煤炭,转而使用更洁净、更低价的天然气,小镇的人们越来越惧怕,他们的家园可能很快就会室迩人遐。
