You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In giving a business presentation, many speakers think that if their idea is strong, their audience will get it readily. They feel discouraged when the audience is unable to understand their presentations. That happens a lot especially when technical experts are invited to make a product presentation to a group of users.What can we do to make a business presentation easier to understand? In my view, good presentations have always been simple and visual. In an effective business presentation, the fewer the points, the betterthe message gets passed on. You focus on the depth of coverage instead of the width(广度) of coverage. Additionally, you make your ideas visual and relevant, so the message is understood better and remembered longer. Great business presenters relate their ideas and concepts to their audience by using simple, powerful diagrams instead of relying on text-based slides. In fact, drawing diagrams forces a presenter to make the idea clear even at the preparation stage. It is impossible to draw a diagram when you are not clear about an idea. When your idea is clear, it is easier to transfer it. Most audiences understand a diagram faster and remember it longer. This possibly explains why most of the memorable presentations have been visual in nature.36.Many speakers believe that the stronger their idea,.A)the more powerful their speech will beB)the more meaningful their speech will beC)the more easily the audience will understand itD)the harder the audience will find it to follow37.Why are you advised to give fewer points in yourpresentation?A)To pass on the messages better. C) To allow audience to take notes.B)To avoid wasting too much time. D) To leave more time for questions.38.The speaker can help the audience remember the message longer by.A) displaying text-based slides C) focusing on the width of coverageB) avoiding long technical terms D) using simple and powerful diagrams39.The underlined word “transfer” in this passage most probably means.A) create B) pass on C) take off D) describe40.This passage is mainly about.A) how to make an effective business presentationB) how to present strong ideas in a presentationC) how to focus on the depth of coverageD) how to prepare a powerful diagramTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements arenumbered 41 to 45.Blue Jeans Company was established in October 2012 and operates as a partnership (合伙企业）between Elena Horowitz and James Foster.

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 man 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 full-time hours seeking a job.Networking ( 人际联络)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.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.Running 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, on 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. keep 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 an mistakes in their workD. The company is not big enough for development44. 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 familyD. 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”Task 3Directions: Read the following passage. After reading it, you are required to complete theoutline below it (No.46 to No.50).
