SECTION3: TRANSLATION(1)

企业组织找人补充职位空缺的办法之一是向公司以外招聘。它可以选择在报纸或杂志上等广告，提出简要的工作情况介绍并征集应聘者的自荐信。由于公司不会录用个人材料不佳的申请者，因此向有希望的应聘者寄发包括年龄、资历、工作经验等简明信息的申请表，并向了解应聘者情况的有关人士征求参考意见是很重要的。这些信息有助于公司管理部门缩小面试人员名单以最终作出录用决定。

主持面试的工作人员称之为“面试小组”。他们在面试之前要仔细审阅工作情况介绍、人员特长要求喝应聘者的情况。为了帮助面试小组作出选择，在面试中经常使用面试评定表以根据表上的若干标准对应聘者进行考评。

SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST

Part A: Spot Dictation

Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage only once. Now, let’s begin Part A with Spot Dictation.

Britain is changing more rapidly than ever before in her long history. In some respects the new British society reflects general world trends. In other respects it has kept its own particular flavour. British society is evolving, that is to say, developing and suiting itself to rapidly changing conditions. Evolution rather than revolution or violent change is a special characteristic of the British way of life.

This is shown in one way by how the British people vote at elections. The Conservative and Labour Parties have controlled the political scene for the last fifty years, but today neither party can any longer be sure from which class or income group its support will come. Not long ago you would have expected the working classes always to vote for the Labour Party. The wo rd “labour”means “hard work”—especially hard work with the hands. The Labour Party is the party which is supposed to represent the working man”. You would also have expected the upper and middle classes to vote for the Conservative Party. The word conservative mea ns “keeping things as they are”. The Conservative Party is supposed to be the party which represents property owners, businessmen and the self-employed. In some respects traditional British “class distinctions”are becoming less clear, and you can be less sure how people will vote. Many members of the middle class support social reform. Many ordinary working people enjoy a better standard of living and are suspicious of any change which might affect them. But the old divisions between the classes remain. Many Conservatives fear that the sovereignty of Parliament is being threatened by the Trade Unions. Many workers are afraid that the Conservative bosses are trying to keep their wages down. But class feelings have not reached a personal level yet. Middle-class and working-class men can stand together at a football match and be the best of friends.

Part B: Listening Comprehension

I Statements

Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken only once, and you will not find them written on the paper; so you must listen carefully. When you hear a statement, read the answer choices and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you have heard. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.

Question No. 1. These houses have been on the market since last January.

Question No. 2. Alice writes novels, but her real background is in business administration.

Question No. 3. If we had your phone number, we would have called you on our arrival.

Question No. 10. Despite a decrease in the downtown areas, the sales figure is on the up swing in the suburbs.

ⅡTalks and Conversations

Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear several short talks and conversations. After each of these, you will hear a few questions. Listen carefully, because you will hear the’ talk or conversation and questions only once. When you hear a question, read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Questions 11 to 14 are based on the following conversation.

Man: Can you tell me about the university shuttle bus system? This is such a large campus, and I have classes all over campus. I need to take the shuttle bus from one class to another, or I will never

make it on time.

Woman: What do you need to know? I think it’s a really great system.

Man: First of all, where does it go?

Woman: The university shuttle bus system goes all over campus. It does not leave the campus; if want to travel off-campus, you’ll need to take the city bus system. But the university shuttle bus system

will get you from one class to the next, very efficiently.

Man: And how much does it cost?

Woman: It’s free, can you believe it? So you don’t have to pay a cent to get all around the

university campus.

Man: That’s really great. And how do I catch the shuttle bus?

Woman: Just look for one of the bright yellow shuttle bus signs, and go stand next to it. You can see the yellow shuttle bus signs all over campus. A Shuttle bus will come along

approximately every five minutes, so you shouldn’t have to wait long.

Man: That all sounds good. Thanks for your help.

Woman: No problem.

Question No. 11. What are the man and the woman discussing?

Question No. 12. What area does the university shuttle bus cover?

Question No. 13. How much does the shuttle bus cost?

Question No. 14. What color are the shuttle bus signs?

Question 15 to 18 are based on the following advertisement.

You may think IBM makes only big computers. The range of products pictured here should change your mind.

But more important, it’s likely that one of them is a perfect fit for you and the work you have to do.

IBM’s portable computers bring problem--solving power to the people who need it most. Small businesses can use them to prosper today and plan for tomorrow. Large companies can use them to help a key person or department become more productive. Professional people can use them to make the most of their own special skills.

IBM portable computers are easy to use and their price tags make them easy to buy. Best of all, even our smallest portable computers give you biggest benefits, i.e. IBM experience and reliability.

So, when you begin sizing up portable computers, think of IBM, the International Business Machines Corporation. Obviously, we’ve thought and will think a lot about you.

Question No. 15. What is this advertisement trying to sell?

Question No. 16. What does IBM produce?

Question No. 17. According to the ad. , who will use IBM’s portable computers?

Question No. 18. Which of the following is the full name of IBM?

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following conversation.

Woman: Did you read this magazine article? The information in it is unbelievable.

Man: What’s the article about?

Woman: It’s about paper, specifically about how much paper Americans use up each year.

Man: Why are you so interested in paper?

Woman: It’s not paper that I’m interested in; it’s trees. Because Americans use so much paper,

many trees have to be cut down.

Man: According to the article, how much paper do Americans use?

Woman: About 50 million tons of paper a year, can you believe it?

Man: That’s probably a lot of trees, isn’t it ?

Woman: You bet it is; 850 million trees a year.

Man: I can’t believe we really need to use so much paper.

Woman: Neither can I. I’m sure we could reduce the amount of paper we use if we wanted to.

Question No.19. Where did the woman learn the information?

Question No 20. What is the topic of the conversation?

Question No 21. Approximately how much paper do Americans use in one year?

Question No 22. What does the woman want people to do?

Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following talk.

Today I’d like to discuss something new that botanists may be bringing us in the near future: plants that Produce plastic. I’m not talking about artificial plants made from plastic. I’m talking about living, growing plants that produce a plastic-like substance.

The natural plastic from these plants has at least one major advantage over the artificial plastic that is so common today. This new plastic from plants biodegrades quickly, which means that it is much better for the environment. Today’s artificial plastic biodegrades very slowly. When people finish with plastic products and throw them away, the plastic remains intact for years. These unused plastic products are covering the Earth and causing quite a problem. Perhaps the new, natural plastics from plants can help to solve that problem.

Question No. 23. What type of plant is the woman discussing?

Question No. 24. What is the major advantage of the new natural plastic?

Question No. 25. What is the problem with today’s artificial plastic?

Question No. 26. This lecture might be given in which course?

Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following talk.

The public schools are famous private schools. The oldest of the public schools were founded to give free education to clever boys whose parents could not afford to educate them privately. They were under “public”management or control. But today these schools, and similar ones founded within the past 120 years, are mostly boarding schools. The pupils live as well as study there. Some public schools also take day-pupils. Normally

4 / 5

pupils are admitted by examination. Since state schools do not prepare children for this, parents who wish to send their children to a public school often send them first to a preparatory school. Preparatory schools are small, private primary schools which prepare children for the public school examination.

Public schools have produced many of Britain’s most famous and distinguished men and women and many parents are still ready to make great sacrifices to send their children there. More pupils come from Britain’s upper classes or wealthy families. Recently, however, there has been a great deal of argument about the future of all private schools.

Question No. 27. According to the passage, why were public schools founded?

Question No. 28. How are those public schools today?

Question No. 29. What can a preparatory school do to help?

Question No. 30. Where do most pupils of the public schools come from now?

Think again. Leasingcan end up being just as expensive as buying. Most peoplethink about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They'reright-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were tolease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If youwere to buy the same car, you would pay about $400per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But afteryour lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many peoplewant to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwisebe able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you mightbe able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buya used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model.
