    正确答案: 1.E 空格前面讲到,得知百事公司的老总要在科罗拉多大学讲学后,“我”设法得到了约见他的机会。根据逻辑分析,接下来也应该是与这次约见有关的信息。E选项说“但是他的时间安排很紧张,他作完演讲之后却只有15分钟的时间可以见我”,这也就是第二段提到的“我”在大学礼堂外面等候的原因。因此,E选项填在此处与前后文语意连贯。故选E。
    2.C 空格前面是在描述“我”在礼堂外面等候的情况。空格后面说到,他已经超过了五分钟了,使我与他见面的时间只剩下了10分钟。C选项说“我大为吃惊,他的演讲没有在规定的时间内结束”,可见,C选项填在此处与前后文语意连贯。故选C。
    3.F 空格前面讲到,“我”在名片后面写了个便条提醒他还有个约会,并推开门,向他走去。根据逻辑分析,接下来就应该是把名片递给他并走回来。因此,F选项填在此处最合适。故选F。
    4.A 空格前面说到,百事老总看了看名片,又看了看我,并说出了“我”的名字。由此可推知,他同意和我谈话。因此,接下来理应是介绍他们谈话的相关内容。A选项说“我们在学校的一间办公室见面并关上了门”,天在此处语意连贯。故选A。
    5.D 空格前面的句子说到,“我”最珍视的他给与我的就是他鼓励“我”继续按照“我”的做法去做。而根据前文可知,“我”所做的就是有胆量打断一个总裁的演讲。D选项说的就是总裁对“我”所作鼓励的具体内容,填在此处语意连贯,符合逻辑。故选D。

  • 第13题:

    阅读理解Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity.It may be a free period or a regular wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal --- even while eating breakfast.One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night.Whether he went to bed at 10 pm or 2:30 am made no difference.Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline, it is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book in your pocket.Don’t forget it should be a book which entertains you and the English must not be too difficult for you.

    Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element --- some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading.You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached.Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading.Well, this is difficult at first.A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours.Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest book.You should soon notice your habitual w.p.m.rate creeping up.

    6.The passage recommends setting aside for reading practice().

    A.two hours a day

    B.one hour a day

    C.15 minutes or half an hour a day

    D.three minutes a day before meal

    7.One famous surgeon always made it a rule to read() .

    A.15 minutes at 10 pm each night

    B.for at least 15 minutes at bedtime

    C.no matter it was early or late

    D.whenever he had a spare moment

    8.It is a good idea always to carry in your packet ().

    A.a book you will never forget

    B.a serious book

    C.several books of various kinds

    D.an easy and interesting English book

    9.According to the passage, a “pacing” device() .

    A.measures a student’s reading speed

    B.is not included in most speed reading courses

    C.is an aid to vocabulary learning

    D.should be used whenever we read alone

    10.Looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes ().

    A.avoids the need for reading faster

    B.is not the same as pacing

    C.is not easy at first

    D.helps you to remember the page number you were at last time

    D.broke in

    答案:C
    解析:
    考查动词短语辨析。句意为“一开始Claire拒绝承认他偷窃过,但是当看到录像的时候,他就都承认了”。break down意为…情绪失控(痛苦起来)”.符合此处句意。break up意为“分手”,break out意为“爆发”,break in意为“打断.闯入”,均不符合句意.故选C。

    Xerography

    For a long time Chester Carison carried around his the invention,the little black box,over which he had worked and struggled for years.He presented it to the directors of twenty-one large American corporations,such as"General Electric,International Business Machines(IBM),Lockheed,and RCA."Nobody wanted it.
    Nobody wanted to invest a penny in it.
    It must be painful for those directors to think of Chester Carlson now. For the little black box is the heart of the multi-billion-dollar Xerox Corporation. Carlson is the inventor of "xerography(静电复印术)"(from two Greek words meaning "dry writing"),the dry-printing process used in thousands and thousands of offices,businesses,industries,universities,shops,and government agencies around the world.
    Thanks to Carlson,it now takes minutes to copy a document which,twenty years ago,would have kept a secretary busy for a whole day.And for a few pennies anyone can have a copy of anything from cooking recipes to Greek poetry.More than thirty billion such copies are made each year.
    When Chester Carlson went to work in a patent office in 1930,the copying methods were slow, dirty,and expensive.In his job,Carlson had to make many copies of patents for inventions.One night,after working late and painfully,he decided that somebody had better find an easier way to do it. He went to work in the kitchen of his apartment with measuring cups and cooking pots.By 1937, having developed a simple form of xerography,he applied for his first patent on the process.
    Then began Carlson's famous unsuccessful search for investors.Only in 1944,did the Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus agreed to lent$3,000 to Carlson for research on his invention.According to the agreement,Carlson was to receive 25%of all profits.This part of the agreement later brought millions of dollars to Carlson,who borrowed money from his family to repay his debt.
    Even with Battle's help,it took another year to find a company willing to buy Carlson's process. In 1945,Dr. Dessauser,director of the Haloind company,decided to adopt and market the process, which was then named"Xerox".Three years later,the Haloind company changed name to the Xerox company,which now is the 39th largest company in the United States,with sales of over four billion dollars a year.

    Carlson's invention aimed at_______.
    A:relieving secretaries from their heavy workload
    B:making the copying process easier
    C:making many copies of patents for inventions
    D:making a considerable amount of money by selling the patent of his invention

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据文章前三段得知切斯特·卡尔森在很长一段时间里都随身携带他的发明寻找想购买或投资的人,却苦苦找不到,所以选A。
    第四段第二句提到了被这些董事拒绝的卡尔森的发明后来成为the heart of the multi-billion-dollar Xerox Corporation,为施乐公司带来了巨额的利润,所以选择C。
    第六段第三句“he decided that somebody had better find an easier way to do it”指出卡尔逊自己深受老式复制文件的方法之苦,所以想要发明一种更容易的方法。
    通过文章可以得知卡尔森的静电复印法成为了哈罗德公司的核心,并带来了巨额的利润,所以这家公司直接以这项发明“xerography”的前几个字母作为公司名,因此 B正确。
    第六段最后可以看出卡尔森在1937年发明了静电复印术。第七段开头说到"Then began Carlson's famous unsuccessful search for investors",卡尔森在多年后也就是1944年才找到资助研究者,可见D正确。

You have 30 seconds to look at the task promptly, an example of which is below, and then about three minutes to discuss the topic with your partner. After that the examiner will ask you more questions related to the topic.  For two candidates  Satisfaction Survey  The company you work for has conducted a satisfaction survey. We all know customer satisfaction is essential to the survival of our businesses.  You have been asked to find out whether customers are satisfied.  Discuss the situation together, and decide:  ● how to find out whether the customers are satisfied  ● what to ask in a customer satisfaction survey.

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    A: We all know customer satisfaction is essential to the survival of our businesses. How do you think we can find out whether our customers are satisfied?
    B: In my opinion, in order to find out whether our customers are satisfied or not, the best and most direct way is to ask them.
    A: Certainly many ways can be adopted to ask them whether they are satisfied with our company, our products, and the service they received. Can you name some common ways?
    B: Sure. we can ask them face-to-face when they are about to walk out of our store or office. In addition, we can also call them on the phone after their visits and ask how they feel about our products and service.
    A: Well. Good idea. Any other ways?
    B: Mail them a questionnaire is also an option. This technique has long been used, which turns out to be quite effective
    A: As far as I am concerned, we can ask certain questions in a customer satisfaction survey to get to know their expectations and to collect information about what need to be changed and what need to be maintained to increase their satisfaction.
    B: By all means basic customer satisfaction questions should be asked, like “ Are you satisfied with the service you received?” Still, we need to ask the customers loyalty questions, for instance “What are the chances of you recommending our products/services to others?” Plus, some research needs to be done to know what the customer like and don’t like about the products, services and the company.
    A: That is the point.
    Follow-up questions:
    (Q=question   A=answer)
    Q1: Do you think feedback from customers is the most important thing to consider? Why or why not?
    A: Yes, their feedback can reveal a lot and be very useful. You can improve your products’ quality accordingly. ﹨No, it is not wise to completely depend on that, since some customers may not take it seriously when answering questions.
    Q2: Is it essential to consider competitors’ products? Why or why not?
    A: Yes. By comparison, you can know the differences and try to do a better job. ﹨No, feedback from customers is more reliable
    Q3: Which is more important when aiming to improve customer services, staff training or customer satisfaction survey?
    A: I would say staff training is the fundamental way to improve customer services.﹨Customer satisfaction survey can be more effective in improving customer satisfaction.
    Q4: How often should you conduct a customer satisfaction survey?
    A: As is said, the most wise way is to conduct a customer satisfaction survey often enough to get the most information, to upset the customers, but not so often as to upset the customers”.
    Q5: Have you ever thought about what to do with the answers from a customer satisfaction survey?
    A: Yes. The answers from different customers need to be compiled and used to predict trends.﹨No, feedback alone is not enough and further research together with other surveys needs also to be conducted.
