Directions : In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.

Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

First-Generation College-Goers: Unprepared and Behind Kids who are the first in their families to brave the world of

before graduation.

[ A] When Nijay Williams entered college last fall as a first—generation student and Jamaican immigrant, he was academically unprepared for the rigors of higher education. Like many first—generation students, he enrolled in a medium-sized state university many of his high school peers were also attending, received a Pell Grant, and took out some small federal loans to cover other costs.

Given the high price of room and board and the closeness of the school to his family, he chose to live at home and worked between 30 and 40 hours a week while taking a full class schedule.

[ B] What Nijay didn't realize about his school—Tennessee State University—was its frighteningly low graduation rate: a mere 29 percent for its first-generation students. At the end of his first year, Nijay lost his Pell Grant of over $ 5,000 after narrowly missing the 2.0 GPA cut-off, making it impossible for him to continue paying for school.

[ C ]Nijay represents a large and growing group of Americans: first—generation college students who enter school unprepared or behind. To make matters worse, these schools are ill-equipped to graduate these students—young adults who face specific challenges and obstacles. They typically carry financial burdens that outweigh those of their peers, are more likely to work while attending school, and often require significant academic remediation (补习).

[ D ] Matt Rubinoff directs I'm First, a nonprofit organization launched last October to reach out to this specific population of students. He hopes to distribute this information and help prospective college-goers fad the best post-secondary fit. And while Rubinoff believes there are a good number of four—year schools that truly care about these students and set aside significant resources and programs for them, he says that number isn't high enough.

[ E ] "It's not only the selective and elite institutions that provide those opportunities for a small subset of this population," Rubinoff said, adding that a majority of first-generation undergraduates tend toward options such as online programs, two—year colleges, and commuter state schools.

"Unfortunately, there tends to be a lack of information and support to help students think bigger and broader. "

[ F] Despite this problem, many students are still drawn to these institutions--and two-year schools in particular. As a former high school teacher, I saw students choose familiar, cheaper options year after year. Instead of skipping out on higher education altogether, they chose community colleges or state schools with low bars for admittance.

[ G]"They underestimate themselves when selecting a university," said Dave Jarrat, a marketing executive for Inside Track, a for—profit organization that specializes in coaching low-income students and supporting colleges in order to help students thrive. "The reality of it is that a lot of low-income kids could be going to elite universities on a full ride scholarship and don't even realize it. "

[ H] "Many students are coming from a situation where no one around them has the experience of successfully completing higher education, so they are coming in questioning themselves and their college worthiness," Jarrat continued. That helps explain why, as I'm First's Rubinoff indicated, the schools to which these students end up resorting can end up being some of the poorest matches for them. The University of Tennessee in Knoxville offers one example of this dilemma. A flagship university in the South, the school graduates just 16 percent of its first—generation students, despite its overall graduation rate of 71 percent. Located only a few hours apart, The University of Tennessee and Tennessee State are worth comparing. Tennessee State's overall graduation rate is a tiny 39 percent, but at least it has a smaller gap between the outcomes for first—generation students and those of their peers.

[ I] Still, the University of Tennessee deserves credit for being transparent. Many large institutions keep this kind of data secret—or at least make it incredibly difficult to find The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, for instance, admits only that the graduation rate for its first—generation pupils is "much lower" than the percentage of all students who graduate within four years (81 percent).

[ J] It is actually quite difficult to freed reliable statistics on the issue for many schools. Higher education institutions are, under federal law, required to report graduation rates, but these reports typically only include Pell recipient numbers —not necessarily rates specific to first—generation students. Other initiatives fail to break down the data, too. Imagine how intimidating it can be for prospective students unfamiliar with the complexities of higher education to navigate this kind of information and then identify which schools are the best fit.

[ K] It was this lack of information that prompted the launch of I'm First in 2013, originally as an ann. of its umbrella organization, the Center For Student Opportunity."If we can help to direct students to more of these types of campuses

frequency and ultimately get in and enroll, we are going to raise the success rate," Rubinoff said, citing a variety of colleges ranging from large state institutions to smaller private schools.

[ L] Chelsea Jones, who now directs student programming at I'm First, was a first—generation college student at Howard. Like other student new to the intimidating higher—education world, she often struggled on her path to college, "There wasn't really a college—bound culture at my high school," she said. "I wanted to go to college but I didn't really know the process. " Jones became involved with a college—access program through Princeton University in high school. Now, she attributes

much of her understanding of college to that: "But once I got to campus, it was a completely different ball game that no one really prepared me for. "

[ M] She was fortunate, though. Howard, a well—regarded historically black college, had an array of resources for its first—generation students, including matching kids with counselors, commenting first—generation students to one another, and TRIO, a national program that supported 200 students on Howard's campus. Still, Jones represents a small percentage of first-generation students who are able to gain entry into more elite universities, which are often known for robust financial aid packages and remarkably high graduation rates for first—generation students.(Harvard, for example, boasts a six—year graduation rate for underrepresented minority groups of 98 percent. ) [ N]Christian Vazquez, a first—generation Yale graduate, is another exception, his success story setting him far apart from students such as Nijay. "There is a lot of support at Yale, to an extent, after a while, there is too much support," he said, half—joking about the countless resources available at the school. Students are placed in small groups with counselors ( trained seniors on campus) ;they have access to cultural and ethnic affinity (联系) groups, tutoring centers and also have a

summer orientation specifically for first—generation students ( the latter being one of the most common programs for students).

[ O]"Our support structure was more like : ' You are going to get through Yale; you are going to do well,' " he said, hinting at mentors (导师), staff, and professors who all provided significant support for students who lacked confidence about "belonging" at such a top institution.

46. Many first—generation college—goers have doubts about their abilities to get a college degree.

47. First—generation college students tend to have much heavier financial burdens than their peers.

48. The graduation rate of first—generation students at Nijay's university was incredibly low.

49. Some top institutions like Yale seem to provide first—generation students with more support than they actually need.

50. On entering college, Nijay Williams had no idea how challenging college education was.

51. Many universities simply refuse to release their exact graduation rates for first-generation students.

52. According to a marketing executive, many students from low-income families don't know they could have a chance of going to an elite university.

53. Some elite universities attach great importance to building up the first—generation students' serf—confidence.

54. I'm First distributes information to help first-generation college-goers find schools that are most suitable for them.

55. Elite universities tend to graduate fan’s-generation students at a higher rate.

Section C

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

Saying they can no longer ignore the rising prices of health care, some of the most influential medical groups in the nation are recommending that doctors weigh the costs, not just the effectiveness of treatments, as they make decisions about patient care. The shift, little noticed outside the medical establishment but already controversial inside it, suggests that doctors are starting to redefine their roles, from being concerned exclusively about individual patients to exerting influence on how healthcare dollars are spent. In practical terms, the new guidelines being developed could result in

life, for example—is too expensive. In the extreme, some critics have said that making treatment decisions based on cost is a form of rationing. Traditionally, guidelines have heavily influenced the practice of medicine, and the latest ones are expected to make doctors more conscious of the economic consequences of their decisions, even though there's no obligation to follow them. Medical society guidelines are also used by insurancecomoanies to help determine reimbursement (报销) policies. Some doctors see a potential conflict in trying to be both providers of patient care and facial.

Overseers. "There should be forces in society who should be concerned about the budget, but they shouldn't be functioning simultaneously as doctors," said Dr. Martin Samuels at a Boston hospital. He said doctors risked losing the trust of patients if they told patients, "I'm not going to do what I think is best for you because I think it's bad for the healthcare budget in Massachusetts. " Doctors can face some grim trade—offs. Studies have shown, for example, that two drugs are about equally effective in treating macular degeneration, and eye disease. But one costs $ 50 a dose and the other close to $ 2,000. Medicare could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year if everyone used the cheaper drug, Avastin, instead of the costlier one, Lucentis. But the Food and Drug Administration has not approved Avastin for use in the eye. and using it rather than the alternative, Lucentis, might carry an additional, although slight, safety risk. Should doctors consider Medicare's budget in deciding what to use?"I think ethically (在道德层面上) we are just worried about the patient in front of us and not trying to save money for the insurance industry or society as a whole," said Dr. Donald Jensen. Still, some analysts say that there's a role for doctors to play in cost analysis because not many others are doing so. "In some ways," said Dr. Daniel Sulmasy, "it represents a failure of wider society to take up the issue. "

56. What do some most influential medical groups recommend doctors do?

A. Reflect on the responsibilities they are supposed to take.

B. Pay more attention to the effectiveness of their treatments.

C. Take costs into account when making treatment decisions.

A. The redefining of doctors' roles.

B. Overuse of less effective medicines.

C. Conflicts between doctors and patients.

D. The prolonging of patients' suffering.

59. What risk do doctors see in their dual role as patient care providers and financial overseers?

A. They may be involved in a conflict of interest.

B. They may be forced to divide their attention.

C. They may have to use less effective drugs.

D. They may lose the respect of patients.

60. What do some experts say about doctors' involvement in medical cost analysis?

A. It may add to doctors' already heavy workloads.

B. It will help to save money for society as a whole.

C. It results from society's failure to tackle the problem.

D. It raises doctors' awareness of their social responsibilities.

Passage Two

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

Economic inequality is the "defining challenge of our time," President Barack Obama declared in a speech last month to the Center for American Progress. Inequality is dangerous, he argued, not merely because it doesn't look good to have a large gap between the rich and the poor, but because inequality itself destroys upward mobility, making it harder for the poor to escape from poverty. "Increased inequality and decreasing mobility pose a fundamental threat to the American Dream," he said. Obama is only the most prominent public figure to declare inequality Public Enemy No. 1 and the greatest threat to reducing poverty in America. A number of prominent economists have also argued that it's harder for the poor to climb the economic ladder today because the rungs (横档) in that ladder have grown farther apart.

For all the new attention devoted to the 1 percent, a new dam set from the Equality of Opportunity Project at Harvard and Berkeley suggests that, if we care about upward mobility overall, we're vastly exaggerating the dangers of the rich—

recent article based on his analysis of this data. So what factors, at the community level, do predict if poor children will move up the economic ladder as adtdts? what explains, for instance, why the Salt Lake City metro area is one of the 100 largest metropolitan areas most likely to lift the fortunes of the poor and the Atlanta metro area is one of the least likely?

Harvard economist Raj Cherty has pointed to economic and racial segregation, community density, the size of a community's middle class, the quality of schools, commitments religiosity, and family structure, which he calls the "single strongest correlate of upward mobility. " Chetty finds that communities like Salt Lake City, with high levels of two-parent families and religiosity, are much more likely to see poor children get ahead than communities like Atlanta, with high levels of racial and economic segregation. Chetty has not yet issued a comprehensive analysis of the relative predictive power of each of these factors. Based on my analyses of the data. of the factors that Chetty has highlighted, the following three seem to be most predictive of upward mobility in a given community.

1. Per-capita (人均) income growth

2. Prevalence of single mothers ( where correlation is strong, but negative)

3. Per-capita local government spending In other words, communities with high levels of per-capita income growth, high percentages of two-parent families, and high local government spending-which may stand for good schools-are the most likely to help poor children relive Horatio Alger's rags-to-riches story.

61. How does Obama view economic inequality?

A. It is the biggest obstacle to social mobility.

B. It is the greatest threat to social stability.

C. It is the No. 1 enemy of income growth.

D. It is the most malicious social evil of our time.

62. What do we learn about the inequality gap from Scott Winship's data analysis?

A. It is fast widening across most parts of America.

B. It is not a reliable indicator of economic mobility.

C. It is not correctly interpreted.

D. It is overwhelmingly ignored.

63. Compared with Atlanta, metropolitan Salt Lake City is said to

A. have placed religious beliefs above party politics.

B. have bridged the gap between the rich and the poor.

C. offer poor children more chances to climb the social ladder.

D. suffer from higher levels of racial and economic segregation.

64. What is strongly correlated with social mobility according to economist Raj Cherty?

A. Family structure.

B. Racial equality.

C. School education.

D. Community density.

65. What does the author seem to suggest?

A. It is important to increase the size of the middle class.

B. It is highly important to expand the metropolitan areas.

C. It is most imperative to focus our efforts on the elimination of income inequality.

D. It is better to start from the community to help poor children move up the social ladder.

Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.

在中国，父母总是竭力帮助孩子，甚至为孩子做重要决定，而不管孩子想要什么，因为他们相信这样做是为孩子好。结果，孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的意愿如果父母决定为孩子报名参加一个课外班，以增加其被重点学校录取的机会，他们会坚持自己的决定。即使孩子根本不感兴趣。

然而在美国，父母很可能会尊重孩子的意见，并在决策时更注重他们的意见。中国父母十分重视教育或许值得称赞，然而，他们应向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与子女间的关系。

详解：对话中女士奇怪为什么Rod没有涨工资，男士说那是因为老板觉得他的工作态度有问题，老板说她看到Rob在咖啡机边的时间比在办公桌前办公的时间还要多。由此可知，对话中的两人正在讨论他们的同事Rod。

8．C.未听先知：四个选项均为动词短语，可以推断本题考查的是某人的动作行为，结合选项A.“向酒店经理打电话求助”、B.“把事项日期延后”、C.“换个地方举办宴会”和D.“请专家来改正问题”可以推断，应该是某件事情出了差错或是变故，因此本题考查的内容与人们采取的应对措施有关。

详解：对话中女士对男士说酒店打来电话，说由于日程安排出了问题，他们不能承接宴会了，男士马上说他知道在High Street有一家印度餐馆，可以为团体客户提供特殊待遇，那里的食物很棒，房间也足够大。由此可知，男士的言外之意是说他们可以把宴会的地点改在他所推荐的印度餐馆。

9．What do we learn about the man’s daily life?

B.详解：四个选项均以He开头，且均使用了一般现在时，可以推测本题考查内容与男士的日常生活有关。由各选项A.“他分担一些家务职责”、B.“他经常回家很晚，赶不上吃晚饭”、

C.“他偶尔会为家人做饭”和

D.“他有时会与朋友外出就餐”可以看出，本题的重点是男士通常是怎样解决晚餐的。其中，A.与其他三个选项的内容有较大差异，可以提前排除。对话中男士与女士见面时，男士告诉女士他正要回家，Susan正在家里等他回去吃晚餐，他不能总像平日里那样老是赶不上吃晚餐。for a change表达的意思是“改变一下”，既然男士今天要按时回家与家人一起共进晚餐，也就可以推测出他大多数时候是不按时回家吃晚餐的。

10．Why did the woman come to see the man?

D.详解：四个选项均为动词不定式结构，此类选项通常表示本题考查的内容为即将发生的行为动作或某种动作的目的，A.“带他去吃晚餐”与B.“谈论一项预算计划”、C.“讨论一个紧急问题”以及D.“告知一个重要信息”这三个选项的内容明显不属于一类，可以预先排除。对话中女士说她很抱歉在周五的这个时间来找男士，但她的事情非常重要，而没有提到“问题”，因此排除C.，显然女士来找男士的目的就是要告诉男士一件重要的事情。

11．What makes the woman worry about the Indian Rupee?

D.详解：四个选项都与商业行为相关，而且两次提到了India，可以判断对话内容涉及印度的商业或经济，选项均为对印度经济进行负面描述的句子，但内容各不相同，无法进行排除或断定本题所考查的重点，听对话时就需要对所有涉及到印度经济的内容多加留意。对话中女士明确告诉男士印度的收支平衡赤字急剧升高。

12．What does the mail say about most people when they get into love affairs?

A.详解：四个选项均以They开头，根据选项A.“他们对自己的另一半有着不切实际的期待”、

B.“他们或许没有准备好形成一种相伴一生的关系”、

C.“他们对生活有了更为现实的认识”和

D.“他们想要适应自己角色的转变”可以判断，选项中的they指的就是普通大众，本题考查的是人们对爱情或者婚姻、家庭的看法。对话中女士问男士为什么爱情不能永葆活力，男士说人们陷入恋爱关系时，往往都对对方抱有一种不切实际的期待，如果对方与自己想象得不一样，则希望对方能够为自己而改变．坦实际上，人们很难真正改变。

13．What does the mail say about himself as a singer OH the road most of his life?

D.详解：四个选项均以He开头，A.“他很幸运，能够去很多新奇的地方”、B.“他能够忘记生活中的烦恼”、C.“他能够认识很多有趣的人”和D.“他很幸运，能够做自己喜欢的事情”，四个选项都是在描述男士的美好生活，可以判断对话中一定讲述了男士幸福的一面，听对话时对此类信息要特别注意。对话中女士问男士，他已经62岁了，还经常到处走动，是什么吸引他一直上路，男士毫不犹豫地说是音乐促使他前行，能够做自己真正热爱的事情的人是幸运的，他们能够触碰到生活的极致。由此可见，男士所做的正是他自己喜欢的事情。

14．What do most people think of the life of a famous musician?

C.详解：四个选项均为简单的主系表结构，四个形容词是关键，选项所给信息过少，无法判断本题考查内容，但听录音时，对与这些形容词有关联的内容都要注意捕捉。对话中女士问男士人们最容易对知名音乐家所产生的错误概念是什么，男士明确地说，人们认为知名音乐家的生活只有光辉，这是不对的。生活对于他们并不比对待普通人更加仁慈。

15．How does the mall feel whenever he is recognized by his fans?

B.详解：四个选项均为单个形容词，有正面的，也有负面的，选项所给信息过少，无法判断本题考查内容，但听录音时，对与这些形容词有关联的内容都要注意捕捉。对话中女士问男士走到哪儿都会被人认出来的感觉如何，男士说，按说他应该已经习惯了这种感觉，但事实是，他依然感觉十分惊异。他举了一个例子，他曾经去过一个日本小镇，那里的人根本不会说英语，但却一下子就认出他了，还知道他的音乐。fascinating和amazed的意思相似，

B.“该怎样建设团队才能改善团队表现”、

C.”团队中应该纳入什么样的员工”和

D.详解：四个选项的意思分别为A.“团队经理必须设立清晰且较高的目标”、B.“团队必须包含有不同文化背景的队员”、C.“团队成员应该知识丰富，并富有创造性”和D.“团队经理应该具备某些特定的技能”，其中有两项都提到了团队经理，可以初步判断本题考查的内容极有可能与团队经理所应该具备的素质或是其所应该承担的责任有关。短文中提到按照Casey的看法，如果团队经理能够展示出他所提到的各种素质，整个团队就能够更好地发挥潜力，实现目标。也就是说，团队经理应该具备某些特定的素质。

Passage Two

19．What do we learn about Mosaic?

D.详解：四个选项均以It开头，意思分别为A.“它是Illinois大学提供的分享教学观点的平台”

B.“它主要用于科学家和技术人员之间的文字信息传递”、

C.“它刚开始时是一个很成功的软件，但没能持续很久”和

D.“这一程序允许人们通过网络共享信息”，由此可以判断，It一定是某种技术形式，更有可能是某种软件或平台，本题考查内容与It的功能有关。短文一开始就提到，Mark和他的朋友开发了Mosaic，它可以允许人们通过网络在全世界范围内共享信息。

20．What did Andreessen do upon arriving in Silicon Valley?

B.详解：选项均以He开头，A.“他拜访了一批著名的计算机科学家”、B.“他与一位名为Jim Clark的企业家碰了面”、

C.“他卖掉了朋友们开发的软件”和

D.“他投资了一项领先的计算机生意”都是对He行为动作的描述，听录音时应注意捕捉与He的行为动作相关的信息。短文中说Andreessen一到硅谷，首先就与硅谷的著名企业家Jim Clark进行了会面。

21．Why were venture capitalists willing to join in Clark’s investment?

A.详解：四个选项均以They开头，A.“他们对他的新想法充满信心”、

B.“他们相信他的计算机专业知识”、

C.“他们对新科技十分狂热”、

D.“他们相信他的业务关系”都是在表述“他们”对于“他”的看法．听录音时首先要确定的是They和he分别指代的是什么人，才能正确判断他们之间的关联。短文最后一部分说，Clark不仅自己投了资，还为Andreessen找了风险投资家，他们之所以愿意为Andreessen投资，主要是因为他们热衷于Clark的新想法。

Passage Three

22．What is probably the best form of advertising according to the speaker?

C.。详解：选项均为名词短语，A.、B.、C.三个选项描述的都是广告类型，

D.虽然没有出现advertising一词，但“分发免费试用品”也是广告推销的一种形式，可以判定本题考查内容与广告形式有关。短文开头处提到，最好的广告形式就是臼口相传，也就是人们会把自己认为不错的产品或服务推荐给朋友。

23．What does the speaker say is purpose of many organizations’using prestige advertising?

B.详解：选项均为不定式短语，通常不定式短语所表达的是目的、打算或是即将发生的行为动作，由各选项意思：A.“销售特定商品”、B.“树立声誉”、

C.“推广特定服务”和

D.“吸引高端客户”可以推测，本题考查内容与广告的目的有关。短文中提到很多机构通过广告公司进行宣传，并不一定是想要销售产品，更多的是想树立企业或公司的良好声誉。

24．How do large companies generally handle their advertising?

A.“使用大型广告公司的服务”、

B.“雇用自己的专业广告人员”、

C.“在行业领先的报纸上购买广告空间”和

D.“制作自己的广告”可知，本题考查的是通过何种手段进行广告活动。短文中提到，虽然对于大公司来说，建立自己的广告部门、自己撰写广告方案、购买媒体空间都不是多么困难的事情，但他们还是倾向于借助大型广告公司所提供的服务来做广告。

25．What would advertising agencies often do before a national campaign?

D.详解：四个选项均为动词原形开头的句子结构，可以判定本题考查的是行为动作，由 B.选项中的survey和D.选项中的Pre．test，ads可以推测，本题考查内容与真正投放广告前的行为有关。短文最后提到，广告公司在向全国投放广告之前，通常会先小范围地在报纸、电视等渠道上进行测试，也就是说，他们会在特定的地区进行广告试验。

Section C

26．eterna详解：空格位于不定冠词an和名词concept之间，应该填入以元音发音开头的形容词作定语，修饰名词concept。第一句提到物种灭绝是一个不容易理解的概念，而在下文提到，它与杀死那些可以再重生的单个生命形式不同，也就是说，它是一个永远无法逆转的概念。eternal意为“永远的，永恒的”。

27．diminishing详解：空格所在句和后面两句构成了排比句式，说明了extinction这一概念的独特性。空格所在句为倒装句，充当句子的表语，由于空格后有名词，因此，填入的词需要和名词numbers一起构成名词性短语。由句意可知，灭绝不仅仅是数字的减少。diminish意为“减少，减小”。

28．absolute详解：空格位于连词and之前，需要填入一个形容词，与final形成并列关系，一起来修饰名词act。物种的灭绝是永远的消失，绝对不会再出现。absolute意为“绝对的”。

29．succeed详解：空格位于状语从句中的谓语部分，由于前面的主语为复数，主句时态为一般将来时，因此，空格内填人动词的一般现在时。由空格后的in coming centuries可知，此处要表达的意思是：不管在我们之后还有多少代人会继续生存，都不会再看到那些已经灭绝的物种了。succeed意为“接替，继承”。

30．on a vast scale详解：空格所在句不缺少句子主要成分，因此，应填入副词或副词短语，充当句子的状语。上一段提到了灭绝，本段提到了人类对自然资源的浪费和破坏，这些都是大范围的行为。on a vast scale意为“大面积的，大范围的”。

31．As regards详解：空格与其后的名词短语basic natural resources不是句子主干的一部分，因此需要填人介词，构成介词短语。上一句说到了人类对天空、大地和空气的污染，本句则提到了自然资源。As regards意为“至于，关于”。注意空格位于句首，As首字母需要大写。

32．used up详解：空格位于句子的谓语部分，与are…being连在一起构成现在进行时的被动语态，表示“正在被……”，因此应该填入动词或动词词组。由but we are also rtfinin9可知，此处要表达的意思是：我们正在以疯狂的速度和手段将自然界中不可再生的资源消耗殆尽。used up意为“用光，消耗光”。注意使用动词的过去分词形式。

33．disposing详解：空格前有两个动名词processing，consuming，由and确认这三个词应该是并列关系，因此也填入动词的一ing形式。这里要表达的意思是：人类正在处理、消耗、丢弃珍贵的资源。disposing意为“处理，扔掉”。

34．modification详解：空格位于形容词cultural之后，应该填入名词，与cultural形成名词短语后，再通过OI?与historical change形成并列关系。与change“变化”相对应的词为modification。modification意为“修改，改变”。

35．magnitude详解：空格位于介词0f之后，应该填入名词，充当介词的宾语。空格所在句要表达的意思是：人类正在经历的变革十分重大，不仅是简单的历史变迁或是文化变更，而是地理、生物以及心理等各种秩序的重大变革。magnitude意为“重要性。重要程度”。

Part ⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes)

Section A

36．E. exception详解：该空格位于主系表结构的句子中，且位于系动词Was和形容词n0之后，此处可以理解为形容词作定语修饰名词，因此应填入名词exception作整个句子的表语，结合上下文综合分析，本句含义为：手机生产商诺基亚公司也并不例外。故答案为E)exception“例外”。备选项中bias，deterioration，fault与上下文语义不符，故应排除。

分词，构成过去进行时，描述过去某一时间正在发生的动作或行为，本句含义为“但此时客户的偏好正在向触屏智能手机转变”。故答案为K)shifting“改变，略微移动”。备选项中transmitting与上下文语义不符，故应排除。

39．L. shrank详解：该空格位于句子主语之后的谓语动词位置，根据上下文判断此处应为一般过去时，因此应填入动词过去式，本句的含义为“诺基亚市场份额缩小，收入骤降”。故答案为L)shrank“收缩，缩减”。备选项中assumed及relayed虽然满足语法要求，但其与上下文语义不符，故排除：

40．A. assumed详解:该空格位于以which引导的定语从句中，且处于定语从句的谓语动词位置，又因出现了明确的时间状语in October 2010，因此应填入动词过去式，本句的含义为“他于2010年l0月开始担任诺基亚公司首席执行官一职”。故答案为A.assumed“承担(权力，责任)”。备选项中relayed与上下文语义不符，故应排除。

41．F. fault详解:该空格位于介词at之后，应填入名词，构成介宾短语，at fault为固定搭配，含义为“有责任，有过错”，本句含义为“但出问题的并不仅仅是埃洛普一人”。故答案为F)fault“过错，过失”：备选项中bias及deterioration与上下文语义不符，故应排除。

Passage One

56．C.定位：由题干关键词influential medical groups定位到文章首段的后半部分．．．．that doctors weigh the costs，not just the effectiveness of treatments，as they make decisions about patient care．

详解：事实细节题。定位句指出医疗集团建议医生在决定病人的治疗方案时，不仅要考虑疗效，还要考虑医疗成本费用，故答案为C.

点睛：A“反思他们所应承担的责任”，在原文并没有明确提示，可以排除；B“对其治疗效果更加注意”，这与原文要表达的意思正好相反，可以排除；D“从削减医保的角度重新调整其操作”，原文虽然提到医生要考虑医疗费用，但并没有明确提出让医生们直接考虑削减医保，可以排除。

57．B定位：由题干关键词doctors，concerned和in the past定位到文章第二段后半部分．From being concerned exclusively about individual patients to exerting influence on how healthcare dollars are spent．

详解：推理判断题。从定位句及其所在段落可以看出，作者提到一个关于医生角色的关键性的变化，即从单纯考虑病人个体转为对医疗费用的使用施加影响，可见，医生过去只考虑治疗效果，故答案为B。

点睛：A“具体使用哪种药品”，过于片面，可以排除；C“行业的进步”，原文中没有提及，可以排除；D “患者的信任”，尽管后文提到了医生如果一味考虑医疗成本，极可能会失去患者的信任，但从整体看，医生过去首要关注的还是疗效，患者的信任也是基于疗效，可以排除。

58．A定位：根据题于关键词new guidelines和lead to定位到文章第三段首句．．．．the new guidelines being developed could result in doctors choosing one drug over another for cost reasons or even deciding that a particular treatment--at the end of life．for example--is too expensive．

详解：事实细节题。定位句指出，医生会基于价格考虑，从而决定药品的使用和医疗方案，这与上一段首句提到的redefine their roles相呼应，医生从仅仅只考虑疗效到在决定中引入费用因素，其角色确实发生了转变，故答案为A。

点睛：B.“过度使用疗效较差的药品”，文中只是提到医生会在使用药品的决策上考虑费用，并没有说会更多使用疗效较差的药品，可以排除；C.“医患之间的矛盾”，第六段虽然提到医生考虑经济因素可能引发患者的不信任，但还没有上升到医患矛盾，故不是新政策的主要后果，可以排除；D.“延长患者的痛苦”，文中没有提到新的医疗指导方针会产生这样的后果，可以排除。

59．D定位：由题于关键词risk和providers，financial overseers定位到文章第五段：Some doctors see a potential conflict in trying to be both providers of patient care and fmancial overseers．和第六段第二句：He said doctors risked losing the trust of patients…

详解：事实细节题。第五段首先提到医生作为医疗服务提供者和医疗成本监察员，本就存在着潜在矛盾，而在随后的第六段第二句中又明确指出，这样会使医生失去病人的信任，故答案为D。

点睛：A“他们可能陷入利益矛盾中”，该句说法过于笼统，可以排除；B.“他们可能被迫分散精力”，文章并没有明确提出医生身兼两种角色时可能会分散精力，可以排除；C.“他们可能不得不使用效力较差的药品”，本题考查的是医生身兼两种角色的风险，对于不同药物药力的比较，虽然原文有所提及，但这并不是医生们面临的风险，可以排除。

60．C定位：由题干关键词experts和medical cost analysis定位到文章最后一段：Still，some analysts say that there’s a role for doctors to play in cost analysis because not many others are doing So．“In some ways．”said Dr．Daniel Sulmasy．it represents a failure of wider society to take up the issue．’’

详解：推理判断题。最后一段首句指出，尽管医生兼任医药成本监察员的职责并不合适，但又不得不为之，因为很少有其他群体能做到，而作者更进一步引用丹尼尔·赛尔马西医生的话指出，整个社会没能成功处理这一问题，故答案为C。

点睛：A“它可能增加医生本已沉重的负担”，医学专家并没有就医生的负担轻重进行讨论，可以排除；B“它可以

帮助整个社会节省经费”，专家们并没有提到这一点，可以排除；D.“它提升了医生的社会责任意识”，这种说法完全偏离了本文的中心思想，可以排除。

Passage Two

61．A定位：由题干关键词0bama和economic inequality定位到文章第一段第二句：Inequality isdangerous，he argued，not merely because it doesn’t look good to have a large gap between the richand the poor，but because inequality itseff destroys upward mobility，malting it harder for the poor toescape from poverty．详解：事实细节题。定位句提到，奥巴马把不公平称为“我们这个时代决定性的挑战”，并指出不公平之所以危险是因为它破坏了社会阶层的提升，令贫困者难以摆脱贫困，故答案为A。

点睛：B“它是社会稳定的最大威胁”，本文主要探讨的是社会阶层的提升，而不是社会稳定性，可以排除；C “它是收入增长的头号敌人”，这是对原文的曲解，社会不公平影响的主要是穷人社会经济地位的上升，文章并没有提到不公平和收入增长的关系，可以排除；D“它是我们这个时代最恶毒的社会罪行”，原文并没有从道德角度进行阐述，可以排除。

62．B.定位：由题干关键词the inequality gap和Scott Winship’s data analysis定位到文章第三段最后一句：Inequality itself is not a particularly strong predictor of economic mobility，as sociologist Scott W111ship noted in a recent article based on his analysis of this data．

详解：事实细节题。定位句指出，不公平本身并不是社会流动性的强预警信号，也就是说不公平不是社会流动性的可靠指标，后文还论证并列举了与社会活动性相关度较高的若干因素，故答案为B。

点睛：A“它在美国大部分地区迅速蔓延”，文章只是提到美国社会有贫富差距，但并没有对发展趋势进行任何说明，可以排除；C“它没有得到正确诠释”，该项的说法太过笼统，可以排除；D“它完全被忽视了”，文章开头就高调地论述奥巴马对经济不公平现象的观点，可见，这个问题并没有被忽视，可以排除。

63．C定位：根据题干中的地名Atlanta和Salt Lake City定位到文章第五段最后一句：Chetty finds that communities like Salt Lake City，with high levels of two—parent families and religiosity，are much more likely to see poor children get ahead than communities like Atlanta，with high levels of racial and economic segregation．

详解：事实细节题。定位句指出，像盐湖城这样兼具双亲的虔诚宗教家庭比例较高的社区，比亚特兰大那种种族和经济隔离程度高的社区更能为贫困孩子提供上升机会，可见，它能为贫困孩子提供更多攀登社会阶梯的机会，故答案为C。

点睛：A.“将宗教信仰置于政党政策之上”，文章只提到宗教问题，并没有说到政党政策，可以排除；

B.“已经缩小了贫富之间的差距”，比较两个城市时，作者只谈到了社会流动性，并没有提到其内部的贫富差距，可以排除；D.“为严重的种族和经济隔离所困”，这种说法与原文相反，种族和经济隔离程度高的是亚特兰大，而不是盐湖城，可以排除。

64．A.定位：由题干关键词strongly correlated和Rai Chetty定位到文章第五段首句：Harvard economist Raj Cherty has pointed to economic and racial segregation，community density，the size of a community’s middle class，the quality of schools，community religiosity，and family structure，which he calls the“single strongest correlate of upward mobility．”

详解：事实细节题。根据定位句可知，在查蒂提到的若干影响社会活动性的因素中，家庭结构是“社会阶层提升的唯一强相关因素”，故答案为A。

点睛：B.“种族平等”，该项没有被列入查蒂所说的若干因素中，可以排除；C“学校教育”，查蒂虽然提到这个因素，但它不属于强相关因素，可以排除；D“社区密度”，与选项C一样，虽然提及，但不属于强相关因素，可以排除。

65．D.定位：根据题文同序原则，定位至文章最后一段：In other words，communities with high levels of per-capita income growth，high percentages of two-parent families，and high local government spending-which may stand for good schools-are the most likely to help poor children relive Horatio Alger’s rags to riches story．

详解：推理判断题。从定位段中可看出，作者提到如何帮助穷苦孩子提高社会经济地位时，一直都是从社区层面进行分析的，前文也多次有类似的提示，故答案为D。

点睛：A“加大中产阶层的规模非常重要”，这虽然是作者提到的重要影响因素之一，但不足以集中概括作者的观点，可以排除；B“扩大城市规模十分重要”，影响社会流动性的因素中未涉及城市规模，可以排除；C“我们应该努力消除收入不均”，作者在第三段就提出，贫富差距并不像很多公众人物指出的那样，对社会流动性有关键性的影响力，可见，文章并没有集中讨论收入不均的问题，可以排除。

Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)

In China, parents always try every means to help their children, and even make important decisions for them. They never care what the children really want because they believe that it is good for the children. As a result, children's growth and education tend to surrender to the wills of their parents.

If parents decide to sign up for their children to take an extra class to increase their chances of being admitted to a key school, they will stick to their decision, even if their children are not interested in it.

In the United States, however, parents are likely to respect their children's opinions, and to pay more attention to their opinions in making decisions.

It may be worthy of praise for the Chinese parents to attach great importance to education. However, they should learn how to balance the relationsop between parents and the children from American parents when it comes to education.

1．第一段第一句比较长，一种翻泽方法是将其断为两个句子翻译，以避免句子繁琐。第一个分句的翻译难点在于“竭力”，比较简单的翻译方法是如同参考译文那样，译为try every means to do sth．；另外，还可以使用较难的表达：endeavour to do sth．。第二个分句相对简单，翻译为一个原因状语从句即可。

2．第二句的翻译难点在于“屈从于”的翻译，英语中较为常见的翻译是yield t0和surrender to。另外就是“往往”的翻译，参考译文中的tend to表达一种趋势，比较常见的more often than not也是一种不错的表达。

3．第二段为独句段，句子看起来复杂，仔细分析句子结构可知，这句话其实包含了一个条件状语从句，一个目的状语从句和一个让步状语从句，主句是“他们会坚持自己的决定”。其次是几个短语的翻译，“报名参加”用register或sign up for均可；“增加做某事的机会”常译为increase the chance of doing sth．；“坚持自己的决定”用hold firmly表达比较形象，也可译为stick to。

M: I see. That's serious, isn't it?

男：我知道了。问题很严重，是不是？

W: Well, as you know, there have been reports of unrest India, and the prospects for the Rupee look pretty gloomy.

女：你知道，最近印度动荡不安的报道持续不断，卢比的前景非常糟糕。

M: And that's going to affect us, as if we didn't have enough problems on our hands.

男：这会对我们产生影响，看来目前我们没有太大的问题。

Conversation Two

W: Charles, among other things, you are regarded as one of the America's great masters of the Blues — a musical idiom does essentially about loss, particularly the loss of romantic love. Why does love die?

女：查尔斯，除了其他方面，你被誉为是美国最伟大的蓝调大师之一，蓝调音乐通常描述失去的东西，多以描写浪漫爱情的逝去为主。为什么爱情会逝去？

M: People often get into love affairs because they have unrealistic expectations about somebody. Then when the person doesn't turn out to be who they thought he or she was, they start thinking "maybe I can change him or her." That kind of thinking is a mistake. Because when the dust settles, people are going to be pretty much what they are. It's a rare thing for anybody to be able to change who they really are. And this creates a lot of problems.

男：人们在对某人有不切实际的期望时通常会陷入爱河。当他们发现对方不是他/她所想的那样时，他们就开始想去改变对方。这种想法是错误的。因为当一切尘埃落定以后，人们还会是他们以前的样子。改变一个人是很难的事情。这会引发很多问题。

M: People think it's all glamour. Actually we have the same trouble as they do. Playing music doesn't mean life treats you any better.

男：人们认为一切都充满魅力。其实，我们也会遇到普通人遇到的问题。从事音乐事业并不意味着生活会对你更好。

W: How do you feel about being recognized everywhere you go?

M: You'd think I'd be used to it by now. But I still find it fascinating. You go to a little town in Japan, where nobody speaks English, yet they know you on site and know all your music. I'm still amazed by the love people express for me and by music.

男：你一定认为我现在已经习惯这种状态了。不过我现在依然觉得这令人着迷。在日本的一个小城镇，那里可能没有人会说英语，可是他们通过网络认识了你，而且知道你的所有音乐作品。我仍然会对人们的喜爱和音乐感到惊讶。

Section B

Passage 1

Changing technology and markets have stimulated the team approach to management. Inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscore the need for better coordination in organizations. Team management provides for this coordination. Team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized. Although a team may be composed of knowledgeable people, they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.

不断变化的技术和市场激发了团队管理方法。通货膨胀、资源稀缺、人才水平降低以及预算缩减突出了组织内部增加协作的必要性。团队管理可以提供这种协作。团队管理需要新的技能来完全实现个人的潜能。即使由精英人才组成的团队，也必须学习共同合作的新方法，来解决跨部门问题。

When teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations who have been conditioned to traditional organizational culture, cooperation may not occur naturally. It may need to be created. Furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can function more effectively, but how it integrates with the overall organization or society that it supposedly serves.

如果团队由多层级部门的老员工组成，由于这些人已经习惯了传统的组织文化，因此协作可能不会自然发生。这时就需要创造协作。另外，不仅仅要关注如何让团队工作更有效，还要注重团队同其服务的整体组织和社会之间的整合。

A group of individuals is not automatically a team. Therefore, team building may be necessary in order to improve the group's performance. Casey, an expert in this field, suggests that the cooperation process within teams must be organized, promoted and managed. He believes that team corporation results when members go beyond their individual capabilities, beyond what each is used to being and doing. Together, the team may then produce something new, unique and superior to that of any one member. For this to happen, he suggests the multi-cultural managers exhibit understanding of their own and other's cultural influences and limitations. They should also cultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence and patience, as well as assertedness.

一群个体不会自动组成一个团队。因此，为了提高这些人的表现，就要构建团队。该领域专家凯西表示，团队内的协作过程必须进行组织、推进和管理。他认为在团队成员超越个人能力、超过每个人的工作以后，团队合作才有成效。这样团队才能共同创造崭新、独特、优于个人成果的东西。为了达到这一目的，他建议道，多文化管理者要去理解他们自己和其他人的文化影响以及局限性。他们应该培养出容忍歧义、锲而不舍、耐心和坚持等能力。

If a team manager exemplifies such qualities, then the team as a whole would be better able to realize their potential and achieve their objectives.

如果团队管理者具备这些能力，那整个团队就会更好地意识到他们的潜能，更好地实现他们的目标。

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Questions 16. What should team members do to fully realize their potential?

问题16. 团队成员要如何完全实现他们的潜能？

Questions 17. What needs to be considered for effective team management?

问题17. 有效的团队管理要考虑什么？

Questions 18. What conclusion can we draw from what Casey says?

问题18. 我们能从凯西的话中得出什么结论？

Passage 2

In early 1994, when Mark Andreessen was just 23 years old, he arrived in Silicon Valley with an idea that would change the world. As a student at the University of Illinois, he and his friends had developed a program called Mosaic, which allowed people to share information on the World Wide Web.

1994年初，马克·安德森只有23岁，他带着可能会改变世界的想法来到了硅谷。在伊利诺伊大学上学时，他和他的朋友们开发了一个名为Mosaic的程序，这个程序使人们可以在万维网上共享信息。

Before Mosaic, the Web had been used mainly by scientists and other technical people, who were happy just to send and receive text. But with Mosaic, Andreessen and his friends had developed a program which could send images over the Web as well. Mosaic was an overnight success. It was put on the university's network at the beginning of 1993. And by the end of the year, it had over a million users.

在Mosaic出现之前，使用万维网的主要是科学家和一些技术人员，他们喜欢用万维网发送和接收信息。有了Mosaic之后，安德森和他的朋友们开发了可以在万维网上传送图片的程序。Mosaic一夜成名。Mosaic在1993年初发布在伊利诺伊大学网站。截至1993年底，Mosaic的用户已经超过100万人。

Soon after, Andreessen went to seek his fortune in Silicon Valley. Once he got there, he started to have meetings with a man called Jim Clark, who was one of the Valley's most famous entrepreneurs. In 1994, nobody was making any real money from the Internet which was still very slow and hard to use. But Andreessen had seen an opportunity that would make him and Clark rich within two years. He suggested they should create a new computer program that would do the same job as Mosaic but would be much easier to use. Clark listened carefully to Andreessen, whose ideas and enthusiasm impressed him greatly.

不久之后，安德森前往硅谷寻求发展。他到硅谷以后，就和吉姆·克拉克见了面，吉姆·克拉克是当时硅谷最成功的企业家之一。1994年，互联网发展缓慢，难以使用，所以没有人能通过互联网挣钱。但是安德森看到了能使他和克拉克在两年内发财的机会。他建议他们创造一个和Mosaic原理一样的新电脑程序，而新程序要便于使用。克拉克仔细地听了安德森的建议，安德森的想法和热情令他印象极为深刻。

Eventually, Clark agreed to invest three million dollars of his own money in the project, and to raise an extra 15 million from venture capitalists who were always keen to listen to Clark's new ideas.

最后，克拉克同意自掏腰包，在这个项目中投入300万美元，并从一直对克拉克想法感兴趣的风险投资家那里募集1500万美元。

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

问题19到问题21依据你刚刚听到的短文进行提问。

Passage 3

Advertising informs consumers about the existence and benefits of products and services and attempts to persuade them to buy them. The best form of advertising is probably word-of-mouth advertising which occurs when people tell their friends about the benefits of products or services that they have purchased. Yet virtually no providers of goods or services rely on this alone, but use paid advertising instead. Indeed many organizations also use institutional or prestige advertising which is designed to build up their reputation rather than to sell particular products. Although large companies could easily set up their own advertising departments, write their own advertisements and buy media space themselves, they tend to

aspects of advertising and advertising media than a single company. It is also easier for a dissatisfied company to give its account to another agency than it would be to fire its own advertising staff. The client company generally gives the advertising agency an agreed budget, a statement of the objectives of the advertising campaign, known as a brief and an overall advertising strategy concerning the message to be communicated to the target customers. The agency creates advertisements and develops a media plan, specifying which media will be used and in which proportions. Agencies often produce alternative ads or commercials that are pre-tested in newspapers, television stations, etc., in different parts of the country before a final choice is made prior to a national campaign.

广告告知消费者产品和服务的存在和益处，并试图说服消费者购买。最好的广告形式可能是口口相传的广告，即人们将他们所购买产品和服务的优点告诉他们的朋友。然而几乎没有产品和服务提供商仅依靠这种宣传方式，他们还会用付费广告宣传。的确有许多公司用形象广告和商誉广告来提高他们的名声，而不采用销售特定产品的广告。虽然大公司设立自己的广告部来构思广告、购买媒体空间很容易，但是他们倾向于和大型广告公司合作。大型广告公司比单个公司有更多的资源，也更了解广告和广告媒介的方方面面。如果公司对广告创意不满意，找其它公司讨说法比炒掉自己公司的广告人员要容易的多。委托公司一般会给广告公司一份预算计划，一份广告宣传目标的说明，也就是要传达给目标客户的简短又全面的广告战略。广告公司策划广告创意，制定媒介计划，详细说明会使用哪种媒介以及所占比例。在最终广告方案进行全国宣传前，广告公司一般会准备备用广告方案，或在各地的报纸和电视台进行商业广告测试。

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.

问题22到问题25依据你刚刚听到的短文进行提问。

Questions 22. What is probably the best form of advertising according to the speaker?

问题22. 依据说话者，最好的广告形式可能是什么？

Questions 23. What does the speaker say is the purpose of many organizations' using prestige advertising?

问题23. 说话者认为许多公司用商誉广告的目的是什么？

Questions 24. How do large companies generally handle their advertising?

问题24. 大公司一般会如何处理广告业务？

Questions 25. What would advertising agencies often do before a national campaign?

问题25. 广告公司在进行全国宣传前一般会做什么？

Section C

Extinction is a difficult concept to grasp. It is an eternal concept. It's not at all like the killing of individual life forms that can be renewed through normal processes of reproduction. Nor is it simply diminishing numbers. Nor is it damage that can somehow be remedied or for which some substitute can be found. Nor is it something that simply affects our own generation. Nor is it something that could be remedied by some supernatural power. It is rather an absolute and final act for which there is no remedy on earth or in heaven. A species once extinct is gone forever. However many generations succeed us in coming centuries, none of them will ever see this species that we extinguish.

灭绝是难以理解的一个概念。这是一种永恒的概念。与杀掉个体生命形式，再通过正常繁殖的过程得到新的生命体不同。这不是简单的减少数量。这种毁灭也不可以补救，不可以用其他发现来替代。另外，这种毁灭也不仅仅只影响我们这一代。同时这种毁灭也不能通过超自然力量进行补救。这是一种绝对的、最终的行为，人间或天堂都没有补救方法。一个物种一旦灭绝，就表示该物种将永远消失。无论未来几个世纪我们传承了多少代人，他们也不会再有人看到被我们灭绝掉的物种。

Not only are we bringing about the extinction of life on a vast scale, we are also making the land and the air and the sea so toxic that the very conditions of life are being destroyed. As regards basic natural resources, not only are the nonrenewable resources being used up in a frenzy(疯狂) of processing, consuming, and disposing, but we are also ruining much of our renewable resources, such as the very soil itself on which terrestrial(地球上的) life depends.

我们不仅仅会让生物大规模的灭绝，我们还让土地、空气和海洋这些生物赖以生存的环境充满毒性，以致遭到破坏。至于基本自然资源，不仅仅是非再生资源被我们疯狂地加工、消耗、处置后耗尽，连地球上的生物赖于生存的土壤这种可再生资源都已被我们破坏。

The change that is taking place on the earth and in our minds is one of the greatest changes ever to take place in human affairs, perhaps the greatest, since what we are talking about is not simply another historical change or cultural modification, but a change of geological and biological as well as psychological order of magnitude.

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 the centre. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,

2014年12月英语六级考试 时间安排、题型、分数分布及答题技巧 自2013年12月考次起，全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会将对四、六级考试的试卷结构和测试题型作局部调整。调整后，四级和六级的试卷结构和测试题型相同。 2014年12月英语六级考试时间为2014年12月20日下午

试卷描述 四级和六级的试卷结构、测试内容、测试题型、分值比例和考试时间如下表所示： 仔细阅读答题技巧 1 选择题型的篇章阅读理解 这部分是考生们最为熟悉的四选一的选择题。考生们还是应该根据历年的真题，好好复习。从样题看，主要还是考察考生的两大能力，即抓住主题和定位原文。要求考生读完一篇文章之后，能够抓住文章的主题，然后根据题干中的中心词迅速返回原文定位到某一句话，最后根据同义改写的原则，选出正确答案。

传统阅读题，在体裁上包含了常所用的各种文体，如记叙文、说明文、议论文、人物传记、新闻报道等。考题类型一般有细节题、主旨题、词义辨析题和推论题。而各类题目大都有自己的惯用句式。这些句式可以帮助考生了解考点是什么，要使用什么方法找到答案。所以，熟悉一些惯用句式对我们是非常有益的。现将惯用句式列举如下： 1)细节题。 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage All the following statements are mentioned in the passage except that_____________ According to the passage，who(when，where，what，why，etc。)…….. 2)主旨题 The major point discussed in the passage is____________ The best title for this passage would be________________ The passage tells us___________ The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to_______ 3)词义推测题 The phrase“…………。”most probably means__________ The phrase“…………。.”in the context means___________ The word“……………”in Line X refers to_____________ Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence“…………” 4)推论题 It can be inferred／indicated from the passage that___________ It can be concluded from the passage that___________________ What is the author’s attitude towards the………。 The example of…………is given to illustrate that____________- 在了解完题型分类之后，我们就要弄清做题顺序。实际上，要做好传统阅读题，还是需要将查读、略读和细读结合在一起。具体答题步骤如下： a。仔细阅读文章第一段和最后一段。这两段通常会概括文章的主旨，也就是文后主旨题的答案。， b。回答主旨题。在看完两段话之后，可以先回答后面的主旨题。 c。查读文后细节题。根据文后题目，在文中找寻关键词。这些关键词有助于我们找到所需信息在文中的位置，完成细节题和词义推测题。 d. 略读文章。抓住文章里的标志性语言，段首句和段尾句(同“略读解题方法”)等，完成推论题。 2)简答题
