3、ive of Value Added Tax and any other applicable sales taxes.”可知報(bào)價(jià)單上的報(bào)價(jià)不包括增值稅和其他適用的銷售稅。因此，A、B兩項(xiàng)均被排除，C項(xiàng)正確。問題:2.

8、ill become a board member.B.The Principal Economist will deal with environmental matters.C.The Principal Economists major responsibility is to make certain policy.答案:C解析 這是招聘首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家的廣告，說明其職位職責(zé)除了要在環(huán)境經(jīng)濟(jì)政策事務(wù)上向經(jīng)理們和董事會(huì)成員提供建議“advising managers and board members on environmental economic policy matters”，還要制

12、n Kay is responsible for recruiting new staff.答案:C解析 “Robinson Kay負(fù)責(zé)招聘新職員?！闭衅感侣殕T時(shí)，面試當(dāng)然是必不可少的一個(gè)步驟，所以文章C“如何進(jìn)行面試?”是Robinson Kay應(yīng)該讀的。因此C項(xiàng)正確。3. Thomas Haley is looking for a new job.答案:F解析 “Thomas Haley正在找工作?！贝祟}的干擾項(xiàng)是H，但這篇文章是“你入錯(cuò)行的五個(gè)跡象”，主要針對(duì)在職者。而文章F“誠實(shí)是求職者的最佳策略”，顯然才是Thomas Haley最應(yīng)該讀的文章。4. Mary Claire woul

13、d like to start business on the Internet.答案:A解析 “Mary Claire想在網(wǎng)上做生意。”A文章的題目“建立在線家庭公司兩個(gè)應(yīng)避免的錯(cuò)誤”，是在網(wǎng)上做生意的人應(yīng)該了解的內(nèi)容，所以A項(xiàng)正確。5.

14、elow. It shows ABC Regions unemployment rate, inflation rate and the rate of GDP growth during eight quarters on two successive years. Which quarter does each sentence (11-15) below the chart describe? For each sentence, mark one letter (A-H) on your Answer Sheet. Do not use any letter more than onc

15、e. 1.

With a slight decline in both unemployment rate and inflation rate

16、, the GDP growth rate reached its peak in this quarter.答案:F解析 “隨著失業(yè)率和通貨膨脹率的微幅下降，GDP增長率在本季度達(dá)到頂峰?！痹陬}目中只要提到某個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)達(dá)到頂峰(peak)，那么在A-H中應(yīng)首先鎖定該值的最高值所在的選項(xiàng)。以本題為例，直接去找GDP達(dá)到峰值的選項(xiàng)就可以了，所以我們可以迅速鎖定F項(xiàng)，而不必再去看其他選項(xiàng)。3. This quarter saw the lowest point in the inflation rate and the unemployment continued to fall.答案:G解析 “本季

17、度的通貨膨脹率達(dá)到最低值，同時(shí)失業(yè)率繼續(xù)下降。”與前一題類似，只是這里提到的是最低值，所以直接找通貨膨脹率的最低值所在的選項(xiàng)就可以了。因此，G項(xiàng)正確。4. In this quarter, the inflation rate and the rate of GDP growth showed a rise, while that of the unemployment was just the opposite.答案:D解析 “本季度，通貨膨脹率和GDP增長率呈上升趨勢(shì)，但失業(yè)率剛好相反?！睆念}目中的第一個(gè)條件“the inflation rate and the rate of GDP g

18、rowth showed a rise”判斷，選項(xiàng)B、C、D都符合，然后再用第二個(gè)條件“that of the unemployment was just the opposite”去排除干擾項(xiàng)。因此，D項(xiàng)正確。5. Despite the rise in the unemployment rate and the inflation rate, the rate of GDP growth continued to grow.答案:C解析 “盡管失業(yè)率和通貨膨脹率在增長，但GDP的增長率繼續(xù)增加。”從題目中的第一個(gè)條件“the rise in the unemployment and the

19、 inflation rate”判斷，選項(xiàng)C符合，然后再用第二個(gè)條件“the rate of GDP growth continued to grow”進(jìn)一步確認(rèn)。因此C項(xiàng)正確。PART FOUR Read the advertisement below for ovens made by Tosca.

27、an other ovens.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesnt say答案:C解析 “Tosca內(nèi)置式烤箱內(nèi)的溫度比其他烤箱低。”文中未提及相關(guān)信息。因此C項(xiàng)正確。7.

29、er (A, B, or C) on your Answer Sheet. Never Quit! The Ups and Downs of Running a Family Business Pick up the book Never Quit! The Ups and Downs of Running a Family Business thinks that I could read it between flights, hoping that in the pages of the book, Id find some little piece of sales wisdom to

30、 restate at the upcoming sales managers meeting thats where I was flying. And so I began reading in the terminal. Even after the plane settled into its altitude, I couldnt put Never Quit down. I continued to read, even forgetting to make a few notes in a margin. The notes were already made. The auth

31、or has bullet list after bullet list of helpful pointers. But what absorbed me most was the story of running a family business. Gray offered personal glimpses of challenges as well as successes. And then held them both up as examples of opportunity for positive growth. This is a business book, yes.

32、However, it is a family business book. There are the real stories of real people. But the real art of this book is the encouragement it provides to small business owners to define core principles and when those are challenged, to use those core beliefs to find another method to achieve the desired r

33、ight results. And so, when a business owner meets with something they believe is beyond their control, they will redefine success or the ways they might get there. They will never quit. The focus on customer service also came at a good time for me; this is a huge talking point at our company, which

34、is struggling to maintain excellent customer service at a time when sales are (thankfully) outpacing customer service rep availability, and so customer interactions are being timed and evaluated. Its a challenge, but I found something in almost every chapter of Grays book that boils customer service

35、 techniques down to something as simple as a customer-friendly greeting. It makes it seem do-able. This book is going to be popular with family business owners everywhere. It is well-written, but more important. It is a good read. Ive decided to buy a copy for everyone in our sales and service depar

37、段中“thinking that I could read it between flights, hoping that in the pages of the book, Id find some little piece of sales wisdom to restate at the upcoming sales managers meeting”可知作者開始只是想在候機(jī)時(shí)讀一讀此書，當(dāng)然能從中獲得一點(diǎn)兒有用的信息就更好了，以便在準(zhǔn)備參加的銷售經(jīng)理會(huì)議上作為談資。所以選項(xiàng)B可排除；選項(xiàng)A文中未提及；因此選項(xiàng)C正確。2. The reviewer didnt make notes in

38、 the margin of the book becauseA.it was not convenient on the plane.B.the author of the book had made them.C.he borrowed the book from others.答案:B解析 “書評(píng)人沒有在書頁的空白處做筆記是因?yàn)椤睆牡诙蔚诙?、三句“The notes were already made.

40、d me most was the story of running a family business.”可知最吸引書評(píng)人的是書中關(guān)于經(jīng)營家族企業(yè)的故事，選項(xiàng)A的意思與此最接近。雖然作者提及了B項(xiàng)內(nèi)容，但其后的轉(zhuǎn)折詞“But”表明“story of running a family business”才是書評(píng)人最喜歡的部分。C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容文中未提及。因此A項(xiàng)正確。4. The book tells small business owners thatA.there will be many things that they couldnt manage.B.they could get encou

42、thod to achieve results.”的意思是“本書妙在鼓勵(lì)小企業(yè)主們先制定自己的核心原則，而當(dāng)這些原則遭到挑戰(zhàn)的時(shí)候，應(yīng)該利用這些核心原則去尋找其他的辦法來實(shí)現(xiàn)希望達(dá)到的目標(biāo)?！边x項(xiàng)C符合此意。選項(xiàng)A未提及。選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)誤，因?yàn)楸绢}題干是問本書告訴小企業(yè)主們什么，文中只是說書中鼓勵(lì)小企業(yè)主們?cè)鯓尤プ觯]有告訴小企業(yè)主們他們可以從中獲得鼓勵(lì)。因此C項(xiàng)正確。5.

Choose the correct

46、Word to fill each gap from A. B or C on the opposite page. For each question 29-40, mark one letter (A, B, or C) on your Answer Sheet. Hiring: Do You Know How Important to Pick Them? Your small business is growing, the market has a need 1 your product, and youre recruiting employees to expand your b

47、usiness. What could possibly 2 wrong? The answer is, a lot, 3 you dont hire the right people. One of the differences between businesses that boom and 4 that limp along is good employees.

48、r by yourself. You must find good employees, figure out 7 motivates them, and then place them into the right position. Hiring employees is 8 and requires a lot of patience and energy. You have to resist the temptation to fill the job quickly with one of the first few 9 who come along or 10 someone w

49、ho is only sufficient 11 you want to stop 12 and get back to your business. 1.A.forB.toC.in答案:A解析 本句前部分的意思是：“你的小企業(yè)正在發(fā)展中”，因此可以推斷后半句的意思應(yīng)為“the market has a need for your product”(市場(chǎng)對(duì)該產(chǎn)品有需求).“A need for.”為固定搭配，因此C項(xiàng)正確。2.A.leaveB.comeC.go答案:C解析 本句的意思是“什么地方可能會(huì)出問題呢?”“go”在這里作系動(dòng)詞，“go wrong”表示“出錯(cuò)，出問題”?！發(fā)eave”和

50、“come”都是實(shí)義動(dòng)詞，后面不會(huì)跟形容詞作表語。因此C項(xiàng)正確。3.A.althoughB.ifC.but答案:B解析 從本題的三個(gè)選項(xiàng)判斷，空格處需要填關(guān)聯(lián)詞?！癮lthough”是用來引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句的；“but”后面的分句應(yīng)該與其前面的句子構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系；“if”則是用來引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句的。我們可以將這三個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別帶入原句試用。試用后我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)把A、C帶入后，句子的邏輯不通。因此B項(xiàng)正確。4.A.theseB.thoseC.they答案:B解析 本題的解題關(guān)鍵在于考生要通過上下文看出空格所在句的語法結(jié)構(gòu)。首先，空格處的詞所在句子作“between”的賓語，因此可以排除選項(xiàng)“they”。因?yàn)?/p>

51、“they”是人稱代詞的主格形式，顧名思義，只有被指代對(duì)象在句中作主語時(shí)才能用“they”。其次，“(32).that limp along”在句子結(jié)構(gòu)上與之前的“businesses that boom”是一樣的，空格處的單詞應(yīng)該是能代表/表示“businesses”的詞。雖然“these”和“those”都是指示代詞，指代復(fù)數(shù)性的名詞，但“these”一般指代前面提到過的，而“those”指代將要提到的。在文中，空格處的詞顯然不是指代前面提到的蓬勃發(fā)展的“businesses”，而是指代將要提到的艱難前行的“businesses”，所以要用“those”。因此B項(xiàng)正確。5.A.onB.in

52、C.with答案:C解析 本題考查固定短語“have something to do with”，表示“與有關(guān)”。該短語中的“something”一詞“l(fā)ot”，“l(fā)ittle”，“nothing”等詞表示不同的意思：“have a lot to do with”表示“與有很大關(guān)系”，“have little to do with”表示“與幾乎沒有關(guān)系”，“have nothing to do with”表示“與沒有任何關(guān)系”。因此C項(xiàng)正確。6.A.canB.oughtC.shall答案:A解析 本題考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的用法?！癱an”表示“能夠”；“ought”必須與“to”連用，即“ought

53、to”，表示“應(yīng)該”；“shall”也表示“應(yīng)該”，用于“I”或“We”之后。從上下文看，應(yīng)該選擇表示“能夠”而不是“應(yīng)該”之意的詞，因?yàn)榇司涞囊馑际恰昂苊黠@，你作為企業(yè)家的才能與你的企業(yè)的成功有著很大的關(guān)系，但只靠你自己，你就只能走這么遠(yuǎn)”。所以A項(xiàng)正確。7.A.whatB.thatC.which答案:A解析 本題考查關(guān)系代詞的用法。考生若能看出空格處的詞與其后面的“motivates them”構(gòu)成從旬，做figure out的賓語，而且該詞在其引導(dǎo)的從句中充當(dāng)主語，就不難做出選擇了。雖然that，which和what這三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都能引導(dǎo)賓語從句，但是作為引導(dǎo)詞其含義和在從句中的語法角色是不

54、同的。當(dāng)引導(dǎo)詞既要充當(dāng)從句的主語且意思并不具體時(shí)，這個(gè)角色就只有what能勝任，因?yàn)樽鲆龑?dǎo)詞時(shí)“what”意思相當(dāng)于“the thing(s) that”；that，which不能體現(xiàn)這個(gè)意思。本題所在上下文即屬于這種情況。因此A項(xiàng)正確。8.A.time-consumeB.time-consumedC.time-consuming答案:C解析 “time-consuming”表示“費(fèi)時(shí)的，耗時(shí)的”，沒有“time-consume”與“time-consumed”這樣的合成詞或表達(dá)法。因此C項(xiàng)正確。9.A.personB.peopleC.peoples答案:B解析 從空格后面的定語從句“who

55、come along”中的謂語動(dòng)詞的形式來判斷，空格處的詞應(yīng)該是可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式，或單數(shù)形式但意思表示的是復(fù)數(shù)概念的名詞，所以“person”被排除了。“people”是個(gè)表復(fù)數(shù)概念的名詞，其復(fù)數(shù)形式“peoples”表示的是另一個(gè)意思“各民族”，但文章在這里談?wù)摰氖侨绾芜x人，所以“peoples”應(yīng)排除。因此B項(xiàng)正確。10.A.hireB.hiresC.hiring答案:A解析 通讀空格處所在的整個(gè)句子，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)“or”前面的“to fill the job quickly with one of the first few people who come along”和后面的“.someone who is only sufficient”是并列關(guān)系，與“to”構(gòu)成不定式，修飾“temptation”，所以，此處應(yīng)該用動(dòng)詞原形。因此A項(xiàng)正確。11.A.soB.becauseC.whil
